So the defense of Trump saying that he banned Epstein from Mar-a-lago seems to be another lie.

In a 2009 email written by Epstein’s lawyer, Trump Organization attorney Alan Garten is quoted as saying Epstein was not a member and was 'never asked to leave' Mar-a-Lago.

Here is the original illegally fully-redacted email:
https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet 9/EFTA00740636.pdf

And the unredacted version reported here:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/unredacted-epstein-file-exposes-what-trump-really-said-about-pervert/

So let's just stop trying to use Trump "banning" him as a defense now.
 
Just a reminder that the best case scenario for Trump is that Trump knew (but didn't partake) what was going on there and did not report it to proper authorities. He's been quoted for something along the lines of knowing he was a bad dude and distancing himself once he knew.

So, that's still a terrible look regardless.

The usual suspects have all but disappeared from the site. They know it's impossible to even attempt to defend this administration at this point.

- All living costs are skyrocketing.
- The debt is now 39 trillion, and nobody seems to care.
- The DOJ is blatantly protecting Trump from the Epstein files.
- They're bombing more and more countries while showing the inefficiency of the war machine.
- All the US allies are running for the hills.
- China is even closer to removing the USD as the world currency.
- Trump is even MORE horrible a human than usual and embarrassing the US every day.

You can be sure they'll return once a democrat is accused of lending money to their brother and scream "Corruption!!!".

Crickets from the usual suspects given what he said about Rober Mueller's death, in contrast to the fits they were having over responses to known racist Charlie Kirk.

Yeah, I was surprised I didn't see a room here for that one. I guess people are just tired of dealing with a new horrible thing every week. We need one specific room just to keep updating with a long list of terrible shit he's done or said. The whole Pearl Harbor thing also wasn't mentioned here. Hugely embarrassing even to see!

It's just a give-in that he's the worst person imaginable.
 
Yeah but there were a bunch of migrants during the Biden administration and that was basically treason (paraphrasing one of our usual suspects here)

Ah yes, I remember chief simp saying something along those lines. Completely ignoring the decades of US involvement and destabilization in those areas which cause the people to migrate in the first place.

Letting in some immigrants who the vast majority only want a good life for their families is quaint compared to what's been going on this past year. Treason would be going to war for a foreign country with zero benefit to your own.

Edited march 26th: supposedly this is misinfo. The statement I made may be wrong, take it with a grain of salt.

Oh worse actually. We're now deemed "insolvent"

Correction. Supposedly that article was bogus, and the Treasury did not say that.

I don't like spreading misinfo, so I am asking for you to do a double take.
 
While the Treasury did not say that, it isn't technically wrong.

The USA is literally a debt country. It has always been in debt throughout its entire existence. The issue though is using the term "insolvent" like the country id a business and has to clear off its debt.

That's irrealistic and never going to happen. Why? Because of social services and programs, and actually taking care of its population and the fact that you have certain rights.

Normally I don't care about our debt or the debt ceiling, but I do care about all that money republicans spent of OUR social security that we've been paying into our entire lives, because I'm banking on that for retirement. And it better be there or people are going to be bitch-slapped.

More so, the Treasury didn't actually say that. But the record keeping itself provided by them, displays insolvency according to other economists
You're 100% correct. When the article talked about the economists saying the country was insolvent, I thought they were the economists within the treasury, but they were external and commenting on the report the treasury released.

I can imagine! The fact that so many (rich) politicians are licking their lips at the idea of plundering that portion of the budget is insulting enough.

So, it doesnt matter if they say it, because it's true?
It does make a difference if the Treasury itself comes out and says they're insolvent vs if outside economists come out and say it.

It doesn't make their report any less horrible, but it's a whole different level if the treasury says it outwardly. The next step would be for the US to say they weren't going to pay their debts, or the US prints more money. Printing is and has been the only option. The only way that the US is getting out of their debt issue is if they invent something that changes the world.
