Everyday another juicy tidbit gets released. I was just over at the NYT and they have an expose on the "Long Friendship Between Trump and Epstein". https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/us/politics/inside-trump-epstein-friendship.html
This story is not going away.
I was over at rawstory and saw a CNN clip by Erin Burnett titled: 'Significant': Erin Burnett catches Trump in Epstein 'lie' with devastating clip https://www.rawstory.com/trump-epstein-2673714608/?utm_source=superhead
It looks real bad. He gets caught in a lie and then pivots
Anyway....this just might be it.
Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Now that hes full blown senile, even more so.
Ive always known he would not finish his term.

(140,257 posts)At the same time as the House returns, the election case is being heard.
This will lead to a double whammy and there is something like an interim government that runs things until this mess is straightened out. Biden set that up before he left office. I read it at the WH web site.

Pretty amazing that Biden would see this, you think?

(35,975 posts)A return to the status quo. That's unacceptable.
We have a cabal of unAmerican anti constitution people who cheated and stole our country via an immoral and undemocratic Electoral College.
We don't HAVE to play nice like it is 1877.
The only way to crush their souls is to inflict Intolerable Acts on them. They had their way for 100 years. They laid dormant for 12. 1976 Ray-Gun pops off at the mouth about welfare queens. 1980 - he wins. We move forward on the board in 1992.
The fuckers did it again with the Contract On America (Black Women the key target). Biden wins and does his absolute best (LOVE HIM) to reset to January 19, 2017.
They cheat and steal in 2024.
You can't bring a piece of paper to defeat them.
Flame throwers. We need flame throwers.

(1,142 posts)Which btw - would have to be ratified by the requisite number of states (which ain't happening - I doubt we could even get all Democrats to agree on one), we're under the one we have. Anything else is just dreamland.

(35,975 posts)You are assuming that we are going back to the White Supremacist Constitution.
You are assuming that this Regime does not end in violence.
You need to be a fly on the tree at one of my Black gun club meetings. That trickster shit of 1877? You want violence and unrest?
You keep thinking we are going to accept that.
We aren't. It's our turn to water the tree of liberty. Or - Democrats wake up and realize it's going to take severe punishment of the maga Pubs, tribunals, truth and reconciliation and radical change. If any member of SCOTUS tries to stop that - then they were obviously in on the coup.

(1,142 posts)Whatever you're saying is nonsense. And good luck getting enough states to ratify a new one.
but you obviously don't understand what she's saying.
That was like reading some of the far right stuff that gets posted on the net, just in reverse. And I treat it the same way.

(40,837 posts)Its in Bidens executive orders at .gov. If I had it handy Id post it, but it would take a search to find it now.

(28,635 posts)President Biden signed a total of 162 executive orders during his singular term, from January 2021 to January 2025. As of January 22, 2025, 67 of them (41%) have been revoked by his successor, Donald Trump.[9]
If it was an EO it's probably been revoked by now. That's all President Psychopath has been doing for work, revoking Biden. So unoriginal.
NJCher
(40,837 posts)because I figured he would, and I've been watching.
However, even if he did, I think most of the stuff he did will not be legally binding because it will be found that he stole the presidency through vote tampering.

(56,353 posts)Thats what the visit with Maxwell is about. It will be extremely difficult to take Trump down, especially since a good percentage of MAGAs would support him even if videos of Trump with underage girls was released.

(19,955 posts)I am certain he is saying that now even in death. He despised him with all his being and was very blunt when someone said they were MAGA!
I miss him so much now.
