There is no Republican Party. Just a dictator and he is corrupt and ugly.

There’s not much of a Supreme Court either, just six rubber stamps for Trump (mostly).

Pure Pedophile Hypocrites

Speaker Mike Johnson does not want the House of Representatives to vote on publicizing the Epstein files so he sends all of our representatives home early at our expense. But the real expense is the burden of the young female children who have been abused over and over again by wealthy, privileged white men.

Johnson has a daughter and when she was Trump’s favorite age of 13, he took her to Germany to participate in a purity ball. Johnson’s wife says they don’t talk about contraception because for the Johnson’s “sex before marriage is simply out of the question.”

Mike Johnson is protecting pedophiles. These are pedophiles he knows. These are young girls who at the age of 13 would much rather have signed that purity contract than been trafficked by wealthy white men.

His wife, Kelly, is a Christian counselor. Not a very good one if she can’t counsel her husband to be honest and not protect young girls who are sexually abused.

Mike Johnson I hope you rot in hell with all of your pedophile friends.

How can these so-called Christians support Trump?

Because their Lord and Savior has a name that rhymes with Chump, which, conveniently, is what those who voted for him really are.

I think what Holy Moses Johnson wants to give space to is the complete fabrication of a new Epstein file. The Boss Man and his machine may soon provide us with all kinds of names and places where his enemies and other democrats diddled little girls. He will star in the leading role of those who tried to stop Epstein for fifteen years, but finally gave up as it appeared futile.

Meanwhile, Maxwell will get a complete pardon, and soon thereafter will join Epstein in his new home, courtesy of a good assassin.

The DOJ going to meet with Maxwell may be more than buying time. The plan may be to silence/threaten her or to offer a reward for silence. And the latter may be Maxwell's motive , too.

Of course the first time there is Republican support he sends the reps home with no vote! That shit pisses me off. Meeting with Maxwell with no witnesses, no cameras is shady as fuck..no doubt to silence her as well..what the MAGAS do best!

Maxwell is going to be as useful as wet firewood. How about rounding up the victims, get their statements and get them to go on the goddamned record about what happened to them? Maybe that will work.

There have been some recent interviews on MSNBC with Jen Psaki and The Bulwark with Tim Miller. The Republicans don't care about talking to the victims. They want their stories shut down!

That leaves it to independent media to not let this go until September and gather evidence. Is investigative journalism still alive in the US? Or even in Canada?

All that you write about is definitely true. He is going to do the biding of the underling that thinks he is going to get rewarded for helping the Mango Mussolini. The whole bunch will eventually end up in hell and can pretend they are in paradise.

Hell could be a version of paradise for these monsters where their worst perversions are enacted upon them for a change

I posted this on your other substack story and it's just as appropriate here:

I am hoping that somewhere, military officers loyal to the Consitution are watching and planning. I don't say that lightly because the precedent would be awful. But, at this point we have an illigitimate president dismantling the country...brazenly...with very little effective push-back from Democrats and Independents. They could work with politicians loyal to the Consitution (which eliminates almost all Republicans) and Federal judges to form a "caretaker" government until verifiably "free" elections could take place. Even restore Harris to the presidency for the interim. We cannot go on for three and a half years like this.

I can only assume that Maxwell will fall victim to a prison transport accident/violent hijacking/Novichok incident, no doubt where no cameras are recording.

It's been reported by Zev Shalev and Lev Parnas among others that both Israeli and Russian intelligence have a copy of the Epstein files. Suppose that's real. Doesn't that mean that Trump and his regime --- desperate to protect Trump plus Epstein's network of elite "players" --- are even more susceptible to blackmail by Putin and Netanyahu? Canada and Europe are supporting Ukraine with more arms now, but not enough... Meanwhile, the people of Gaza are being mass-murdered by Netanyahu's government, using the arms supplied by the USA without question, and the IDF uses starving Palestinians at aid sites for sniper practice. I imagine Netanyahu and Putin will intensify their blackmail and interference in US democratic institutions and businesses. And I fear for Ukrainian people and for Palestinians as well as for Americans.

YET, as Gwynne Dyer writes in an article today, at all costs keep J. D. Vance from becoming President.

The info about Israeli and Russian intelligence was outlined earlier in July 2025 on substacks by Zev Shalev and by Lev Parnas. You'll need to search. I deleted their emails after reading, so can't offer links. Since 2019, Zev has been reporting on this. I did a cursory Goodle search and found some of Zev's 2019 articles.

Is Mike Johnson’s name in the Epstein Files? Hmmm…

Congress is useless. That's not a newsflash but is still outrageous. And that jerk always smirks like a cat who ate a canary. Since we don't need Congress anyway, who cares if they go on one of their constant vacations? We, the people are operating on our own every day. However, Epstein and his trail of disgusting files will continue like a snail leaving a big slime.

The Ukraine needs those sanctions against Russia, and the Epstein/Trump/et al victims need justice, though.
