Trump_is_Mentally_fit

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/07/28/us/trump-news Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Monday demanded all recordings and transcripts of the July 24 and 25 Justice Department interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime partner of Jeffrey Epstein who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. In a letter to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who conducted the interviews, Mr. Durbin also demanded that the Justice Department commit to offering no pardon or commutation of Ms. Maxwell’s sentence in exchange for information, citing “serious questions about the potential for a corrupt bargain between the Trump Administration and Ghislaine Maxwell.” The letter, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, was co-signed by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, who also sits on the Judiciary Committee. Because Democrats are in the minority and have no subpoena power, their demands may carry little weight with Mr. Blanche. But the letter reflected how Democrats are trying to keep pressure on the Trump administration on an issue that has, at least for now, cleaved from the president a portion of his typically loyal MAGA base that is demanding a release of files that the administration has refused to make public. Mr. Epstein, a financier and convicted sex trafficker who died in 2019, was well connected and his friends included Mr. Trump. In the letter, Mr. Durbin noted that the meetings between Mr. Blanche and Ms. Maxwell last week were highly unusual. Such interviews would typically be conducted by line prosecutors more familiar with the details of the case, and more able to determine on the spot if Ms. Maxwell was lying, he noted in the letter. That Mr. Blanche himself conducted such interviews, Mr. Durbin wrote, led him and Mr. Whitehouse to believe that the meetings were “another tactic to distract from DOJ’s failure to fulfill Attorney General Bondi’s commitment that the American people would see ‘the full Epstein files.’” Mr. Durbin also wrote that there were “serious concerns that Ms. Maxwell may provide false information or selectively withhold information, in return for a pardon or sentence commutation.” In the letter, the senators also demanded the names and titles of everyone present during the two days of interviews with Ms. Maxwell. And they questioned why the Justice Department believed she would be truthful when the Trump administration previously argued in court about her “willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct.” They also requested the complete terms of an offer of limited immunity made to Ms. Maxwell to secure her cooperation in the interviews. And they demanded the Microsoft SharePoint online collaborative file that Mr. Blanche’s office reportedly maintained to log mentions of Mr. Trump in the Epstein-related records that have been reviewed by the Justice Department and the F.B.I. It is unlikely that Mr. Durbin and Mr. Whitehouse will receive any of that information. But Democrats are eager to call for transparency and force the administration to explain why it is unwilling to offer it. “The victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have been repeatedly let down by the criminal justice system,” the letter states. “Rather than engaging in this elaborate ruse, DOJ should simply release the Epstein files, as Attorney General Bondi promised to do.” President Trump has not closed the door on pardoning Ms. Maxwell, noting only that he has a right to do so. But the idea has already encountered some resistance even from Republicans on Capitol Hill. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a hard-right Georgia Republican, has fiercely criticized the administration for not releasing the Epstein files as promised and raised questions about whether Ms. Maxwell may be motivated by a desire for a pardon. On Sunday, Speaker Mike Johnson also said he was wary of granting a pardon to Ms. Maxwell. “I think she should have a life sentence at least,” Mr. Johnson said on “Meet the Press.” Concerning the prospect of a pardon, he said he would “have great pause about that, as any reasonable person would.”

The two groups were B’Tselem, a rights monitor that documents the effects of Israeli policies on Palestinians, and Physicians for Human Rights — Israel. Their announcement was the first time major Israeli rights groups have publicly concluded that the Gaza war is a genocide, an assessment previously reached by some organizations like Amnesty International. In a report titled “Our Genocide,” B’Tselem cited the devastating effects of Israel’s war on ordinary Palestinians to support their claim: the killing of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza; the razing of huge areas of Palestinian cities; the forced displacement of nearly all of Gaza’s two million people; the restriction of food and other vital supplies. All together, the Israeli campaign has amounted to “coordinated action to intentionally destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip,” the organization wrote. “In other words: Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”

Liberals have the lowest crime rate of all demographics

I was responding to someone who said white liberals were creepy

So any mention of race at all is racist? That's stupid

Liberal white people have the lowest crime rate of any group, that's pretty good

No, they are part Native American

Oh good one!

I know, how do people expect Israel to have Living Space without starving a whole population of people?

Ya, it leads back to Big Oil which can care less about saving the planet from the existential threat of climate change

Any criticism of Israel = antisemitism

Next Thursday, a federal appeals court will hear oral arguments about this: May the president, by making a declaration (that he claims is exempt from judicial review) of a national “emergency” and “an unusual and extraordinary threat,” impose tariffs (taxes paid by U.S. consumers) whenever he wants, at whatever level he wants, against whatever country he wants, on whatever products he wants, for as long as he wants? Make sense of the latest news and debates with our daily newsletter A unanimous lower court has said, essentially: Of course not. Eighteen organizations, spanning the jurisprudential spectrum, have filed amicus briefs opposing the president. They demonstrate the following: After the preamble, the Constitution’s first word is “all”: “All legislative Powers” are vested in Congress. And the power to tax is listed first among Congress’s enumerated powers. Because the Constitution vests in Congress the power to “lay and collect” duties and imposts, presidential authority to impose them must derive from a statute. Today’s president is a hare, darting here and there. The judiciary is generally a tortoise, slow because it is deliberative. But you know the fable. And here is a fact: This tariff case could markedly restrain this rampant presidency.

No, Israel funded Hamas, that's no secret

Liberals/Democrats made a huge mistake by trying save the planet the hard way, forcing change on people. Carbon sequestration should have been the focus from the beginning. If we put a man on the moon we can create technologies that take carbon out of the atmosphere. Converting to non-polluting energy sources is a great idea but forcing people to drive cars they don't like is just not going to work.

Hamas was starving a whole society to death? Do you blame the Jews for the Holocaust?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/24/gaza-starvation-israel-restrictions/ After four months of a near-total Israeli siege, Gaza’s few remaining hospitals now have wards for the growing number of malnourished children whose tiny bodies are just the width of their bones. Doctors are famished to the point that they have dizzy spells as they make their rounds, medics say, and the journalists documenting their caseloads are often too weak to even walk to the clinics. Get concise answers to your questions. Try Ask The Post AI. For months, aid agencies had warned of the coming crisis, as Israel halted the flow of aid to the Gaza Strip before attempting to replace U.N. relief efforts with distribution points inside military zones. It was a move Israeli officials said was aimed at pressuring Hamas, whose fighters attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. But testimonies from doctors, relief workers and Gazans this week make it clear that a worst-case scenario is finally unfolding: Nearly one in three people are going multiple days without eating, according to the United Nations, and hospitals are reporting rising deaths from malnutrition and starvation.

Sure, sure.

She disappeared faster than the House of Representatives!

Obama wrote it!

Sure, we should have to wait for JD Vance to call out this Bull Sh it. So you believe this Obama conspiracy that is an obvious distraction from Trump's real Jeffry problem?

She's ripping her own eyes out over this? https://www.mediaite.com/politics/pam-bondi-bails-on-cpac-human-trafficking-summit-amid-epstein-uproar-claiming-torn-cornea/
