Seth made a good point that's somehow been lost on the media, both mainstream and alt.
Trump is now supporting a vote that will compel him to release Epstein files, something he ALREADY COULD DO.
"Please force me to do it"

Trump just had one of his weird post-Head of State chats with MBS/Saudi.
And lashed out at the inevitable Epstein questioner, thereby assuring that the only thing people will remember from this latest Brown Nose the Dictator session is "Epstein."

Hey, I've never called anyone A***Man.
I favor the more sophomoric (that's high school for you) responses.

Trump back on his favorite turf, swapping bs with his favorite (even better than Putin) dictator.
And they share a love for beautiful women, many of them on the younger side.

Hey, there's nothing that boosts viewership more than a Trump effort to censor. Tells me and my ilk that I must be missing something good.

Thomas Massie's Latest Epstein Files Claim Is Too Cute by Half
FTA:
MASSIE: Some people have said, ‘Well, how will you know that he’s released the files?’ We will know when rich and powerful men are implicated. So they’ve claimed that they’ve been releasing thousands, tens of thousands of documents to Congress already. But what we’ve discovered is there’s not a single new name in those documents. We know because we have survivors through their lawyers who’ve told us that they have names. We know, they know who’s in those files, and we’ll know if he’s given us a complete release.
Let me stop him right there because that's not how this works.
The absence of evidence is not evidence in and of itself, and it's a logical fallacy to assert that unless the files tell him what he wants to hear, that must indicate there are more files. If there's not a "single new name," it is perfectly possible that's because there are no more names. Suspicions of a broader conspiracy, and I've had my own over the years surrounding this case, are not sufficient in this context.
As to the claim that there are survivors who have "told us that they have names," that is hopelessly ambiguous. What if the names are just the names we already know? Regardless, at some point, and that point was a while ago, if they aren't willing to release the names and make their accusations public, then there's nothing else to be done here. I realize the response will be that they signed NDAs, but NDAs can not legally be used to cover up criminal activity, and in such a situation, can be broken to report the crime to the police.
This entire thing has turned into a game of circular logic, where a lack of evidence is treated as evidence, and the best sources (the victims) aren't expected to actually be sources. Why would I care what Epstein's emails say if almost all the women he trafficked are alive and able to testify? If rich and powerful people committed sex crimes in conjunction with Epstein, then they need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Turning this purely into a political issue, absconding from any attempt at legal justice against these suggested other perpetrators, is just a bit too convenient for me. I think Massie knows that, but he's so deep in his own sauce that he can't be objective anymore.
In reality, Massie is inoculating the public against the next very likely argument: "we have brought charges against [name the Democrat], and many of these files are investigate files that are being used in an ongoing federal prosecution, and therefore they cannot be released."

Summary of the judge's decision:
Fitzpatrick also said Halligan, who had never prosecuted a case prior to Comey’s, appeared to make two “fundamental misstatements of law” to the grand jury that could jeopardize the indictment altogether.
He said Halligan, facing tough questions from grand jurors, appeared to suggest Comey might have to testify at trial to explain his innocence, an improper characterization of the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Fitzpatrick also said Halligan appeared to improperly suggest grand jurors could assume the government had more evidence against Comey than what it presented to them.
“The record points to a disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps, missteps that led an FBI agent and a prosecutor to potentially undermine the integrity of the grand jury proceeding,” he wrote.
-
Reports this morning say that rookie Hannigan told the grand jury "there is more evidence to come."
Holy crap, that's a rookie mistake. It turns the grand jury process into "go ahead, indict, by the time of the trial we'll have plenty of evidence to prove the charges."
What a farce.
The charges will be dismissed. I believe the government would appeal, but if that's the record here, they've got a huge problem.

Thanks to Trump, I watched Seth Meyers this morning.
Not bad!
A little repetitive with the Trump jokes, but a couple good ones. Trump will make me a fan.

Boy I wish my friend that died from using it knew all this helpful info before he used it he might still be alive today, oh and all those others that have gotten none Hodgkins Lymphoma from it .
And if it does dissipate in the dirt plain to me how Glyphosate was found in bottled wines in California please ? I think someone might be BS ing you because everything I've ever read about it is once its in the water it doesn't go away .
Either that or your one of the gov't or Monsatans scientist . And that is too why it's found in corn, soy products and many more foods we inject because it dissipates sorry not believing that the proof tells me other wise .
You must be reading the Monsatan hand book !!
One last thing if this is so safe then please tell me why it is banned in something like 7 European counties ?? Inquiring minds want to know thanks !!
I'm not belittling your concerns, but I do wonder how your friend knew his lymphoma was caused by glyphosate.
How would it wind up in wine? As I understand it, it isn't the vine/grape uptaking it from the soil. It is from a grower spraying glyphosate somewhere nearby and from "drift" - particles that are sprayed do wind up in places they weren't meant to go. And that is a real problem. As far as remaining chemically active in the soil? There are very good studies showing that it doesn't, which is why the standard warning is a fairly short waiting period between clearing growth with glyphosate and planting.
Again, I don't know a whole lot about commercial usage, and obviously there are big problems there. I'm talking about my own residential usage. I limit that (30% vinegar is awesome and cheap!) and follow the guidelines of my agricultural extension. For me, that's Colorado State University, and they are great people and researchers. Extremely helpful and nonpolitical; what we want our public servants to be.

I like roundup.
I have used it for years, because it doesn't kill bees.
I have a vineyard, and it has worked fine.
It worked better using the old glyphosate formula.
I do not get it on me.
I am not a chemist or an oncologist.
Works and I buy it, use it and am careful in that use.
The point about not killing bees is important too.

I get your point. But there are so many insane things wrong with the American food system. The worst in any developed country.The other point I'm trying to make is that even assuming that glyphosate is toxic, that toxicity is limited to those applying it, those inhaling it downwind, etc. There is no study showing that plants grown in soil previously treated with glyphosate show such toxicity.
Did the American farmer jump into glyphosate overuse without sufficient study or oversight? Absolutely. And the marketing by Monsanto was aggressive and treated it as basically risk-free - I think they invented the term "conservation tillage" which means "kill the weeds with Roundup instead of deep tilling the soil before planting." I lived in the upper Midwest back in the day and those commercials aimed at farmers were a daily thing.

International Study Reveals Glyphosate Weed Killers Cause Multiple Types of Cancer
There are hundreds of these studies. You cant find one rational functional medicine person to claim you can use glyphosate safely. My question is why is RFK going after red dye #5 instead of real issues that are poisoning Americans. Basically all of our industrial farming concepts.
Well, you're right about that - the idea that the farm/agribusiness lobby protects glyphosate.
But again, the alternatives aren't great, and some (particularly for noncommercial users) may actually be worse. I am convinced that the "reformulated" Roundup you can get in Home Depot today is quite a bit worse.

Looks to me like the judge will dismiss charges against Comey and James as improperly initiated. For Comey, I think that takes the alleged perjury outside the statute of limitations and he is out of the woods.

Round up which is a version of Agent Orange and has been proven to cause (beyond a shadow of a doubt) None Hodgkins Lymphoma which can and has been the cause of many deaths in the US, which I have personally had a life long family friend die directly from the use of Round up yet the company that made Agent Orange & now make Round are still allowed to produce it because oof the massive amounts of profit due to laziness and will continue to for generations because it is now in the aquifer .
Monsanto or as I call it MonSatan the originator of Agent Orange & now the product Round up which has been sold to Bayer continue to sell this product for immense profits because of pure American laziness & despite all of those deaths that were directly from the use of this product it still is being produced . Then the fact that this product has been banned in several European countries because they too know that it is poison has no influence what so ever on America .
Roundup (glyphosate) works. Really well. And it doesn't remain active in the soil, so if you use it correctly (to kill off an invasive weed) it is far less harmful than many competing herbicides. The ordinary homeowner who uses glyphosate probably bears almost zero risk, again, if used properly. Commercial farms may be a different story because they are using huge amounts on an annual basis. But again: tradeoffs. Glyphosate allows farmers to use conservation tillage and to greatly reduced soil erosion, which over the long term threatens American farmers more than any Argentina ever will.
So Bayer changed the formulation of consumer (not farmer) Roundup to a different chemical. I noticed that after I bought it this year and it didn't work very well. Thankfully I noticed before I used it around my vegetable garden; the replacement chemical DOES remain active in the soil for weeks. And it works less well so people will likely use more of it. I don't think that's progress.
Me? I use 30% vinegar whenever I can. Cheap and Immediate weed killer and makes my yard smell like cheap vinaigrette dressing, which I kind of like. Roundup for the invasive stuff caused by my idiot neighbor not killing her goat head thorn weed, which punctures my bike tires. In other words, be a smart consumer, but don't ban something that causes people to switch to something worse.
(by the way, Agent Orange was not glyphosate)

Let's see what his practice participation is this week. I don't expect him active Thursday. He was ruled out fairly quick. I think he survives.
They gave Codrington a LOT of chances before cutting bait. And he offered nothing as a CB. Hardman at least may offer something on offense.
My prediction is he's inactive due to the calf this week, and yes I think it's a legitimate injury, and then he has 10 days to heal up, get more practice time in and be active the following game.
Agreed. There's room for some plays on offense for a guy that fast (I'm assuming he hasn't lost significant speed)
