It proves our suspicion that there’s plenty of blame to go around to both sides

I believe Trump gave up Epstein file release as a bargaining in passing the BBB.

Austin Scott stabbed Georgia Republicans in the back in 2003 in the GA House of Reps during the flag vote. I would not trust him as far as I could throw him.

You were specifically refuting the claim that Barak was an “Israeli spy” by downplaying his links to intelligence. In fact, he had extensive links to intelligence.

I think Virginia, Michelle and Erin worry me the most. Were they in for some strange on the island?

So many creatures in the swamp.

Just heard that John Ratcliffe’s wife works for the TX law firm that Pompeo is on the board of.

More swamp links coming about about Bondi and Wiles.

You remind me of myself circa 2005. This was after I supported the invasion of Iraq because I believed there were WMDs that Saddam was about to give to terrorists. When they ended up finding no WMD there were all kinds of wild theories. I remember one that said the Bush admin knew where the WMD were but continued to keep them secret so other terrorists wouldn’t get ahold of them.

Eventually I realized that it was all a lie to manufacture consent.

If he is a spy he is about as subtle as Austin Powers.

I would use the word “brazen”.

And yes...as far as Prime Ministers go, as far as chairmen of Cyberwarfare companies go, as far as heads of intelligence agencies go, as far as spies go....he is quite brazen.

It may be ‘tin foil’ but it follows the evidence, what little we get.

I think Israel is connected.

I chuckled to myself when reading your question.

FR has changed dramatically in the last 20-25 years. Even in the last year or two, heck, the last six months, there's been a pronounced change.

There used to be many varied articles getting posted - which mirrored the general news cycle. Now we have much more repetition in what's posted here.

So to answer your question, yes - in a way, I think the sameness and repetition are indicative of a much more controlled environment.

An example is today's news about Trump planning an EO that opens up 401k accounts to private equity, private markets. This is HUGE. Reuters published it online around 10:00pm yesterday; New York Post had it around 12:30pm today, and Fox Business published it online around 2:30pm.

Forbes published an online article about it on June 27.

from the Forbes article:

President Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly considering an executive order to open the $9 trillion U.S. retirement market to private equity and alternative investments, a transformative shift for 401(k) plans. This directive would task the Department of Labor, Treasury, and Securities and Exchange Commission with exploring ways to integrate private funds into retirement plans, as reported by Pensions & Investments, benefiting firms like Blackstone and Apollo Global Management.


News like this would never have escaped FR, not even in the recent past. It would have been posted by now.

So we have the continual drumbeats of, Israel..Epstein...ICE...DOGE...the taste of Coca-Cola!(lol).

But where's the meaty stuff - actual news that effects people's lives on a daily basis? Not so much here...anymore.

When/if it is a real executive order that will be the big news and will deserve a lot of coverage here.

I posted several executive orders earlier in the administration that related to federal employment issues—and there were good discussions about those.

It appears that the people writing this article and everyone here (unless I missed someone) don’t understand what the vote was actually about.

It was a procedural vote that had it passed would have opened the door to Democrats, allowing them to bring anything to the floor they wanted. Exactly zero times in our history has the majority voted to allow this by the minority.

More explanation of this vote that has everyone up in arms.

“Republicans didn’t vote against exposing the Epstein files today, they voted AGAINST A PREVIOUS QUESTION — which is a PROCEDURAL vote that would have surrendered the House of Representatives floor to the Democrats.

That would have meant that DEMS TOOK CONTROL OF THE HOUSE FLOOR & could’ve rammed ANYTHING to the floor, including impeachments & any other ridiculous idea they could come up with…….it was a TRAP.

In the history of our country, no MAJORITY PARTY has EVER voted on “the previous question” & surrendered the floor to the MINORITY PARTY.

Don’t let the “influencers” get in your head. NOBODY voted against releasing the Epstein files today — members voted against a PREVIOUS QUESTION, & avoided a trap that was laid by the enemy.”

Is this a lying anti-Semitic Blood Libel by Nitzy?

*******

Perhaps Israel shouldn’t have funded and supported the terrorists who over threw the Assad regime.

Oh well…I guess Israel will just have to take over some more territory from them, kill more Christians and get one step closer to “Greater Israel”.

When are people going to wake up and understand what is going on here?
