BTW, regarding that Trump banner on the Department of Labor building,

Want to know what it looks like from the other side?

DOJ deputy chief: Government will “redact every Republican” from Epstein client list and publish all Democrat names.

Removepaywall.com option 2 works

It’s mortgage fraud when the Dems do it, but smart business when the GOP does it.

I am not sure what to believe yet, but I have read that he is not necessarily a conservative nor MAGA, and he was predicting that this would happen, as opposed to admitting a conspiracy.

It obviously sounds salacious, but the original source is absolute trash-tier “journalism” that occasionally finds a true thing.

You know how one of the easiest tasks in the legal profession is supposed to be getting an indictment out of a grand jury?

no move too petty

CBS has hired their new ombudsman whose role it is to ensure that their news coverage is neutral and unbiased. His qualifications for being independent include donating money to the RNC, earmarked for the Trump campaign, and a nomination by Trump to be ambassador to Japan.

Federal troops headed to another city.

Tennessee has and R trifecta in the state gov’t. It seems that the governor could use the Tennessee national guard if he deems that city police can’t maintain order.

I suppose he is normalizing National Guard in cities. DC is a special case, so this is an easy next step.

The state gov’t isn’t going to push back on Trump.

WTF is UC Berkeley doing.

I hated Berkeley. When I was there, everything was very focused on funding and not having a reasonable academic environment. Not surprised that it has deteriorated further to a place where they feel a need to suck up to the admin over money.

That’s really disappointing. I’ve been stunned at how weak the response has been from big universities. They all seem to be hunkering down and just waiting for someone else to step up.

Harvard is caving big time behind the scenes, and has killed a bunch of stuff for queer and minority students.

Disappointing and alarming. Sure looks like McCarthyism

LWTwJO had its main segment on tRump harassing schools for alleged antisemitism. When the school rolls over and says uncle, tRump twists the arm even more.
tRump knows an antisemite when he sees one. cuz, it takes one to know one.
