Hope everyone had a great weekend! I’m safely ensconced in my rental for two weeks here in Cleveland. Hanging out with my parents is boring af but also fine. And I ordered Thanksgiving from the “fancy” grocery store so I’ve got that to look forward to.

Have a great day!
Looks like somebody has caved to the inevitable. I’m looking for an angle here, but all I can come up with is Tangerine saying, “This was my idea all along.”
In shift, Trump says House should vote to release Epstein files
…assuming he’s hanging it all on the “legally entitled to” part of what he’s advocating editing those down to the ones that suit him because they mention other people
…he’s still got bondi…& chance to bill burr some total exoneration*
[* – he wouldn’t have qualified for “not proven” in a scottish court so that’s 100% bullshit & the whole world knows if it bothers to think for even a second about it]
Yeah it’s basically one of: he thinks he’s redacted enough at this point; he wants to go after his enemies; he will get an “all clear” presser from Bondi*; he realizes he’s on the wrong side and it’s happening anyway so he might as well pretend he decided this was his decision to save face.
* – the media will do their best to pretend this is completely above-board and nonpartisan and a full acquittal but I don’t think the wider public will be shrug and accept it in the same way this time like they did with Barr.
What? So now not only are illegal immigrants streaming across the border, but they’re driving herds of cattle here too?
Beef prices are high because the border-crossers are bringing their cootie-infested cattle with them

I’m just impressed they spent months saying “Tariffs don’t increase prices!” only for Mango Unchained to turn around and announce “We’re cutting food tariffs to lower prices” … guys, you gotta pick one, OK?
It’s a VERY clumsy variant of a standard Republican play:
1. Create a problem
2. “Solve” problem that we created
A very egregious example is the Iraq War, but there are lots of others.
The problem is that their voters fall for it, every single time, like Charlie Brown trying to kick Lucy’s football.
Wait. I missed an entire war on US cattle? How did they piss us off?
It goes hand in hand with the war on Christmas that we lost.
Sssshhhh. We are in “quiet time.”
I’d like to hear someone not sound like a creepy ass Pedo claiming it’s Ephepophillia.
Any way it’s fucking gross.
