The Trump Administration's incompetence, corruption, and recklessness, combined with their radicalization of their own base regarding the Epstein Files, is what might finally weaken Trump and MAGA.
What you’re describing here isn’t just a scandal. It’s a full fledged operation.
The redactions. The buried files. The “accidental” omission of Trump’s name in spreadsheet after spreadsheet. That’s not sloppiness. That’s structural.
This is what it looks like when a case hits the firewall of power.
When access, wealth, and proximity override procedure and truth gets treated like a threat.
Y’all naming it this directly? That matters.
I very much appreciate the clarity. Some of us are building off this from the ground up.
Yay! It's had a lot of tip toeing around what are pretty clear indictments of president Trump just based on photos of Trump and Epstein with underaged girls, and the revelations to Durbin which are on deck, and the Wall Street Journal's reporting within the week, by big journalism to find the permission structure for investigating allegations of child rape by Trump. All the better if he's removed from office for this, or for awarding government contracts for bribes from big donors, or for envisioning a golf resort in Gaza over the killing fields there, or for his on again off again betrayal of Ukraine.
Allison's description of this work process was making me laugh at how poorly they worked at "keeping this secret". I'm glad that Americans are speaking out.
Nancy Pelosi is 85 years old… she needs to retire yesterday. I feel I can say this as I’m 78 1/2… it isn’t said to be mean it is said because it is time. She also needs to stop wearing heels 👠 and start wearing loafers or sneakers or sketchers… falling at our age, can be “the beginning of the end!” Yes, she’s made “tons of money” having been paid $193,400. per year as Speaker of House of Representatives, from 2007 to 2011 then back again from 2019 to 2023.
Pelosi has been in Congress since 1987. Her salary as a Representative is $174,000. per year. This amount for working up to 4 days a week for 147 days a year. Each Congress/Senate member is allowed to have his own business, write books, take international or national trips paid by taxpayers to do Speeches, etc., each has an office and full staff in Congress. Each has the Best, paid in full, Medical Insurance…for the rest of their lives. Each Representative gets a full Pension, too. Yes, Wajahat she needs to go back to San Francisco and spend some special moments with her husband.
Allison thank you so much. It my first time hearing you, you are extremely knowledgeable and kind; I look forward to hearing more from you, and reading/ listening to “The Daily Beans.”
Thank you Wajahat… you also need to rest, and spend time with your wife and children (and lovely parents). I am beginning to feel guilty that you are so available. Please take care and be safe, both of you.🌸🙏🏼
FYI: “Congress works less than half the year, with the House averaging 147 legislative days annually. Senate members have slightly more legislative days, averaging 165 days each year since 2001.”
With you on the release from government...not happening as there will be folks both sides of the aisle and from all corners around world who will be implicated...this corruption doesn't know borders.... and why women have had to fight this fight for eons worldwide....sadly a very old story that needs to be set right.....
🙏An ongoing story. I also understand how the individuals in this global wealthy political ruling class choose to be openly complicit in the casual murder of women, children and the vulnerable innocent in Gaza, on a daily basis, as another manifestation of their callous criminality. So many of them seem to believe that these inhumane abuses of power are a badge of honour and ‘adult’ actions. Is their behaviour perhaps a real time example of collective insanity created by greed ?
The likelihood that this will bring down Trump is tiny. The president should be in jail, but the mindless, spineless US of A will not hold a president accountable no matter what crimes are committed. I will be the happiest person imaginable if I prove to be wrong about this, but I'm not going to organize a celebration anytime soon.
What's up next from Donald Trump to his supporters: I never met Epstein. I didn't know Epstein. I don't even know what that guy's first name was. Any photos of me with Epstein ad fake photos made by Barack Obama, who was born in Kenya to Kenyan parents, and Hillary Clinton who ruined this country. Epstein's been dead for years, but I know that Epstein was Joe Biden's best friend and he gave Hunter Biden his laptop as a president.
Allison and Wajahat I’ve been asking myself over and over why nothing was done during the Biden administration, to investigate the Epstein Files/scandal ?
Great sentence this: They won’t shut the f—- up about it,” Trump allegedly vented to right-wing influencers who were his subservient Reeks for the past decade…””
I’ve worked inside the justice system.

Schumer needs to recognize that we are no longer in the effing 80’s.
Mamdani is great!!!

Sit down Nancy.
DeSantis was a wet noodle - but one capable of creating Alligator Alcatraz.
How do we get that torn down!!!
He deserves to be kept in a cage. Arrest him.

Allison and Wajahat I’ve been asking myself over and over why nothing was done during the Biden administration, to investigate the Epstein Files/scandal ?
Because there may be democrats on that list, right alongside the republicans. Clinton must have been.
Great sentence this: They won’t shut the f—- up about it,” Trump allegedly vented to right-wing influencers who were his subservient Reeks for the past decade…””
Love it: “…subservient Reeks! 🤣🤣
Are they anything they aren’t incompetent at?
Mass deportation seems to be going well unfortunately
Donnie’s pedophilia was well known, at least in NY as was his crude racism, mental illness….
When future writers and historians tell the story of our time - these brave/brilliant moves will prove to shape the outcome.
Epstein-Gate is still apparently a problem. This scandal is honestly the most important issue of this current administration.
