(FACT) The ex-cop facing quadruple-homicide charges who Epstein said tried to kill him previously worked in the town where Trump National Golf Club is. Did anyone else note this? Someone sent me the connection via DM—and I'd be amazed if it wasn't already a topic of conversation.
PS/ Note that I'm only saying that it's an odd coincidence I expect an investigator would follow up on. This isn't some puerile attempt to take a single fact and extrapolate it into a theory. Briarcliff Manor is a hamlet of only 8,000 people, so that coincidence is... *very* odd.
PS2/ I've previously posted the major-media article confirming that Epstein told his lawyers that Tartaglione attacked him. And yes, it's clear that Epstein could've hurt Trump politically and possibly legally. So a Briarcliff Manor Trump-Tartaglione connection isn't irrelevant.
PS3/ Trump National Golf Club is *so far and away* the most important thing happening in Briarcliff Manor that it is by no means a stretch to say that a cop in Briarcliff Manor would likely have dealings with Trump's property (and employees/agents) at some point along the line.
PS4/ Repeat: I'm *only talking about the assault here*. I've said repeatedly the chance Epstein's *death* was a homicide was basically zero, and the autopsy report (below) confirms what I suspected. So again, this is only a thread about the July *assault*. nytimes.com/2019/08/16/nyr…
PS5/ The assault is relevant not only because it may have been an attempt to kill Epstein, but also because it led to (a) a situation in which he couldn't have a roommate, and (b) a controversial (quickly abandoned) suicide watch. IOW the assault was/is as odd as Epstein's death.

If you've been reading independent journalism—which holds that Trump went to war with Iran in mid-2025 and that there have been no ceasefires in the war since then, everything happening now makes sense.
If you've been reading corporate media headlines... you're confused as f*ck.
This is only the tip of the iceberg.
Not only do corporate media readers have no idea that this is a year-long war with lulls but *no ceasefires or deals*—just Trump lies intended to manipulate markets so he and his pals can profit—but they don't know how bad America is losing.
MAGAs of course neither care about the news nor are capable of understanding it—lacking the education or maturity—but even independents aren't being told how screwed America is. I just saw an expert-made video on how Iran's understanding of *salinity and humidity* outstrips ours.
Hey, anyone have any possible theories as to why racist Trump voters would be willing to believe Bill Cosby is a serial rapist but not Trump, when the two have faced a nearly identical number of allegations to that effect? Any idea of what would motivate racist Trump voters here?
I keep banging my head against a wall on this, as voters who support the convicted felon Trump are super anti-crime and super respect women, so they wouldn't ignore dozens of violent crime allegations just because of race or political preferences.
So what's really going on here?
It's so important that journalists not call Trump voters disgusting loser racists who hate women until every other possibility explaining them ignoring 34 felony convictions and 67 sex-crime allegations has been explored, so help me out—can we run through them with Cosby in mind?
Nearly all net-positive interstate migration in the US is to the worst states in the country, make it make sense
What we *should* be doing is acknowledging that nearly every red state is a failed state and unpacking why that is and emulating what the blue/purple states are doing
And before anyone references cost of living, look, I get it—I too have lived through some extremely economically precarious years—but that doesn't change the fact that if you're moving to a wildly affordable state the chances that it is *also* a wildly shitty state are very high.
My state is one of the best in every metric, so desirable that Granite Staters regrettably try to convince folks not to move here, including by lying about the state (particularly Manchester). And yes, it's expensive. It *also* has too few people for the number of jobs available.
He has no plans to leave office or allow free elections. Nor are his plans hidden—they're all unfolding in plain sight.
The Insurrection never ended and the Christofascists won't stop until our democracy is gone.
Choose who you'll be in this moment.
If I had told you a year ago that Marjorie Taylor Greene wouldn't be radical enough for MAGA, nor Lauren Boebert, nor Thomas Massie, nor John Cornyn, nor the senator-doctor who made Kennedy Jr. DHHS chief... if I told you he would be openly stealing our money to fund terrorism...
If I told you he'd be on his fourth war. If I told you he'd be deporting citizens, even killing us in the streets. If I told you he'd demolish the White House. If I told you he'd declare himself the arbiter of when America goes to war. If I told you he'd be an open war profiteer.
The BARE MINIMUM you do to a criminal defense lawyer who signs a non-prosecution agreement with HIS OWN CLIENT is disbar him.
But that is insufficient for Todd Blanche, who took an OFFICIAL ACTION as acting AG as part of a BRIBE to hold his job permanently.
He must be indicted.
It gets worse. This breaking news confirms Blanche knew Trump had no case against the IRS when he gave his client $1.8B in taxpayer cash and promised never to prosecute him. Blanche will now become permanent AG. This is a criminal bribe—a TEXTBOOK example. thedailybeast.com/trumps-18b-slu…
To put a finer point on this: the Attorney General of the United States is a felon. Not a minor thug, but a felon who committed one of the most serious offenses identified in the text of our Constitution...in broad daylight.
This wasn't bad judgment; it's worthy of imprisonment.
Dusty turds like this get follows off the ignorance of their readers. Bush v. Gore *infamously* seized both federal *and* state issues from the Florida Supreme Court—in the former case instituting a one-off 14th Am. reading it immediately abandoned—and I bet this troll knows it.
By a 5-4 vote, conservatives stole the 2000 election by ending counting—a decision properly for the Florida Supreme Court on the basis of a state "safe harbor" provision. A study later showed Gore would've won had counting gone on.
SCOTUS knew it. I know it. This troll knows it.
So what we have here is bad lawyers lying to nonlawyers about a bad decision bad judges made 25+ years ago. And everyone pretends they read a ruling they didn't because clicks are all that matters—rule of law is gone, just like this dry turd and his friends planned it. Sickening.
