The mainstream media is failing to provide factual information that would allow the public to understand the issues fully and respond appropriately? What a surprise. Not.

Trump was reasonably lucid when he came down the golden escalator in 2016. Compare that to his mental acuity now (a fairly rapid and steep decline) and then imagine what shape he'll be in if he serves out his term (which is scheduled to end on Jan 20, 2029).

The socialite and Jeffrey Epstein

While in New York, Maxwell went to parties, attended A-list events and mixed with the likes of Donald Trump and Elon Musk

She also met Epstein, an elusive high-flying hedge-fund manager, whose clients included the billionaire retail magnate Les Wexner.

While it is unclear exactly when the pair first came face to face, Maxwell told a 2016 deposition she met Epstein sometime in 1991 through a "mutual friend". Photographs show Maxwell and the financier together at a party in November 1991.

Her Rolodex was a who's-who of enviable connections among the rich, famous and politically-connected. She's been pictured with Elon Musk, Arianna Huffington and Michael Bloomberg.

Rumours swirled about the pair's power – the financier was the money, while Ghislaine offered her contacts.

And then their partnership allegedly turned into something more sinister.

High profile men under the spotlight

A cadre of rich, powerful and famous men were lured into Epstein and Maxwell's orbit.

They included academics, politicians, business executives, billionaires and celebrities. But since Epstein's arrest and subsequent death, many have moved to distance themselves from the pair.

Donald Trump has claimed he wasn't a fan of Epstein and had a "falling out with him a long time ago,"

Yet, the public will be avidly watching the trial to see if any of the famous names that Maxwell was once photographed with will come up.

Outside of the court room, some high-profile figures have already faced consequences for their links to Maxwell and Epstein.

Christian Nationalists they have plenty of money

It’s a corrupt cabal of unlikely people who have one aim in mind. Power and control.

Some don’t like Women’s rights, some are racist and that’s what their beef is. The Christians want a return to the 1800’s when Bible Bashing was normal, hay ho let’s all return to scripture lessons no science. God made the world in 7 days. End of. Trump is everything the Bible says we shouldn’t be. But don’t let that get in the way of controlling the population. Republicans and Democrats should be united to protect the Constitution and the people from tyranny Read project 2025. It’s coming. It’s more than a fat old orange narcissist calling the shots. It’s much bigger than that. He’s just a small cog in the much larger Neo Nazi Christian Fundamentalist plot to hi Jack modern society.

It’s not like it’s been kept secret. They published their Project 2025 agenda before the election and they aren’t wasting any time implementing it. There’s nothing subtle or Christian about it.

Why the media continue to cover the nonsense from trump is beyond me. If he scratches his butt, they give him news coverage, if he sneezes they cover that. Who cares. Just report the important things and stop reporting the nonsense. Let him and musk and all elected republicans drive off that cliff they are on. The sooner the better.

Unfortunately Harry you are right in so many ways. We have to wade our way through the nonsense to get to the truth and then we still have to fact check that. So, it is a little harder but we need to dig deep and hard. Thanks for your response.

Exactly, former presidents receive security briefings and the discretion of the new president.

President Biden stopped Trump from getting them. This reasoning

January 6 and there was no peaceful transfer of power.

Also fact the Trump had many classified documents at his residence

even though requested there return many times that archives had to ask for help from DOJ.

It was the right call for President Biden

I posted my friend Ivan Lopakhin’s comment because its sentiments match my own. My late mother had a secret clearance from the U.S. Navy, which she had to renew in the Carter administration. She had to relearn the security protocols, which were easy to understand for an educated person, but not for Trump.

Expand full comment

I don’t think Trump would go anywhere quietly. And project 25 the Christian nationalist and all the other basket cases wanted their plans put into action. They wanted it before 2020 that is why Trump fought so hard to stay in power hence Jan 6th. That spoiled their plans. I do think the election this time was tampered with likely by musk. Why would he say ‘we don’t need your votes, we have all the votes we need’. Only a lunatic would say that or someone who knew that it was a done deal. That was it for me I knew he would win the moment I heard him say that. What is so important about project 25? Why are the Republicans not outraged as at least half the country is at what is happening to the rule of law. The Supreme Court, what could make them move against everything they have sworn to protect and uphold? Trump is not the architect of all this, he isn’t smart enough. Trump is a means to an end. They must have had to hold their noses to let him into their cabal. Steve Bannon even went to prison, that is a price he had to pay for this!

It still bothers me why Trump would want the presidency? Ego, vanity, a mental disorder that won’t let him quit? money? Or something else? He is nearly 80 years old, and looks it some days. Does he want political revenge? Or just the Noble Peace Prize? What is the eventual outcome and reward for these people? It has to be significant.

Retribution for being voted out of office in 2020, indictments & trials in NY, & indicted for J6 & the documents he stole & likely gave or sold to Putin, Jong Un, Xi, Iran, Talliban , Orban, MBS, Netanyahu & others. Hes the kid in the candy store waving his candy & big sucker's in kids faces saying look what I got & you dont. Hes a sociopath, malignant narcissist, lazy, unintelligent, con artist, grifter, undermines & belittles everyone he possibly can, voices grievances & makes himself the fake billionaire forever victim. Hes great at lying & getting people to follow him like the pied piper. It is exactly how he got the Christian nationalist congregations & low iq people with help from their CN clergy whom many are con artists, criminals & sexual deviants just like him who hide behind their bibles & fake christianity to follow & believe him.

The billionaire owned print & TV media bent the knee & behaved in advance told the reporters not to report or talk about Trump in any way but positive & not to report anything he really said but to sanewash everything that comes out of his mouth. They made potus Biden into a dotteringbold man with diminished mental capacity which can't be farther from the truth. I blame them for Trump being back in the WH & will never forgive them for it.
