The Epstein files coverup / not aging well --
The Epstein vote is a big deal, even as Bondi schemes a way to avoid acting on the bill. It shows Trump is losing his grip on the party. And the main reason, I suspect, is he is really showing his age these days. www.salon.com/2025/11/19/_...

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Journalist Jamal Khashoggi was ambushed by a 15 member Saudi kill squad, strangled to death, and then had his body dismembered with a bone saw. Or as pillar of democracy and rule of law Donald Trump described today, “things happen.”

Most. Corrupt. Regime. Ever. --
The reason we have laws* against bribery is that companies will absolutely bribe politicians at the very first opportunity if it is good for the bottom line, because they see it as a sound business decision, not a civilizational betrayal. /1

Trump threatens ABC over female reporter's Epstein files question --
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

Do better, press corps --
Still wild to me that Trump pointed in a woman’s face and said “Quiet, Piggy!” and literally no one who witnessed it was like “Whoa, there bro” either because they didn’t care or they weren’t surprised, or both.

Trump's stagflation --
"We've seen the early stages of what economists call stagflation. The '-flation' part is inflation, and you've all felt that at the grocery store. The 'stag-' part is stagnation, which is we've got rising unemployment and slower economic growth than we otherwise would have."
