Trump’s America
Really, at this point, I don't think what's in the files matters. First off, I think if there had been indictable/convictable evidence in there, there would have been indictments and convictions. Second, enough good stuff has been released to create quite a cloud of suspicion. Third, Trump is going to continue to obfuscate, by redaction, withholding because of investigation, etc. The best thing about it is that it won't die down and Trump continues to blunder into keeping it very alive. LBJ was right, "make the sonofabitch deny it."

Nancy Mace: Sexual assault survivor or cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?
I didn't watch the video first time I saw this. Christ, she looks really deranged in that. Hair's dirty, but she stuck a flower in it to compensate or some shit, looks like she just got up from a bender.

Whatcha reading?
Probably mentioned before, but I subscribe to Kindle Unlimited. That gives me access to a lot of what I'll call "pulp fiction," books published by Thomas & Mercer, Amazon's imprint and some other off brands. Some of those authors are more serious/better than others. I hog through them at a pretty high rate. But, I'll say this: in the realm of non-literary fiction, some of them are pretty, pretty good. This one, a fairly serious spy thriller, was one of the most engaging page-turners I've come across in a while. https://www.amazon.com/Honeytrap-Espionage-Thriller-Book-ebook/dp/B0D4614BLM It's part of a three book series with 2 and 3 as yet unreleased, so I was unable to verify if this was a one-off. Same guy also did a series with some spy hero named Lance Spector. Haven't dug into those. It's a pseudonym and there's no information on the author, really, but it seems he might know of what he speaks.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
What's kind of odd about that is that, in the court proceedings, local cops were mostly "nah, this is no big deal, we got it under control," which severely undermined ICE's allegations of violence and interference. That was Chicago and Broadview PD, though, not Cook County Sheriffs. I guess Sheriffs there are kinda shitty like in LA and Texas.

Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
Also what's this about normalizing pedos? Been keeping up with Megyn Kelly?

The Trump Economy
As if you needed any evidence that Trump's policies are being dictated by tech oligarchs, this is about all the evidence you need.

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txwd.1150387/gov.uscourts.txwd.1150387.1437.0.pdf at page 17. Also, I erred above. Jerry Smith was appointed by Reagan. He's old-school Fifth Circuit, meaning a real judge. He dissented though, so I misread original reports.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I was looking at some other Texas sports page where she and her title didn't appear. There was a Zoe, an Amy and an Emily that didn't seem likely, in appearance or title, subject to the Applewhite exception.

Possible, yes. In this timeline, not sure. I think I'd be happy with the status quo. I think the demographics and general disposition of California is that they're less likely to fuck it up than Texas. There was a time when saying that would be laughable. Not no mo.

Allegations are not proof. The key point here is that two judges, both politically inclined not to find racial problems, found racial problems with the gerrymander.

Ken Paxton is dirty? NO FUCKING WAY!
I wonder if he hired Keller Postman or those two fat fucks here in Austin to prosecute that shitshow at taxpayer expense. ETA: These two fat fucks.

James Comey is my Homie
It's not on this thread, but one of the others regarding the effective dissolution of the United States Department of Justice. It's infuriating and sad. It has never been a perfect institution, by any stretch of the imagination, but what Trump and his cronies are doing is fucking disgusting.

California is likely not stupid enough to create an inference of racial gerrymandering, which is the problem here. And you have a Trump appointee and a GHWB appointee finding racial gerrymandering. It must be pretty blatant.

Good shit. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/11/18/texas-redistricting-ruling-lawsuit-el-paso-court-2026-midterms/ “The public perception of this case is that it’s about politics,” U.S. Judge Jeffrey Brown, a Trump appointee, wrote in the ruling striking down the new lines. “To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 Map. But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map.” Yeah, it might not survive SCOTUS, but they'd have to rule by December 8, when candidates have to register. And they can't just do it on the shadow docket, I don't believe.

Also, I'm not going to give the big bad insurance companies money. I'm going to give it to you. To give to the insurance companies.- ICE activity/raids
https://www.michaelcaseywwoolf.com/ He's an ordained pastor of American Baptist Churches USA, a denomination with which I was unfamiliar. It is essentially what was left of the Baptist polity after the Southern Baptist Convention left because of . . . wait for it . . . slavery.- Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
Very true. The DOJ/Trump's personal law firm, is in possession of the files. Whether he lawfully has the authority to direct their disclosure, he can assert it and is willing to do so in other contexts. It is actually less clear that Congress can order the DOJ to release investigation files. - Trump’s America
