Who signed their name to the declaration there is no additional evidence or list?


What evidence? I am sure higher powers than even the president would keep that from her or us. More like both parties don't want their dirty laundry exposed.


Did Pam Bondi sign the document declaring that?

Words carry power, calling someone an illegal is different than saying they immigrated to a country illegally. Growing up I was a young black male when you had folks like the Clinton's calling us "Super predators" and criminals. And everywhere you go, no matter what you do, that's what people will see you as first. All of which can threaten your safety, job opportunities, mental health, stability and etc.

How can a person be illegal? think about what that's saying. Even if you could make it true under a technicality, it's still dehumanizing. You might mean well, but I can all but guarantee that the people who intentionally use it as a political weapon, did not.

$400 Billion is a proposed number that doesn't reflect the current reality. Immigration policy definitely needs to be fixed, but a much lesser issue of what is wrong with the fiscal policy in this country. (IE the bill that was recently passed, that will kill more people for the sake of billionaires) More of folks making 700 an hour telling people who make 25 an hour that the person making 7 an hour is really the problem

I agree, but the majority of the population still names and considers them illegal aliens in which they are here illegally and alien to this country. Thus, the name fits.

Just like Biden and North Carolina. Didn't Biden go on vacation during that? Didn't hear you complaining about that back then. I guess personal hatred gets the best of people like Trump derangement syndrome or Biden derangement syndrome the righties had. Wait, the guy I hate didn't act like I think he should!!!! Fact, Biden and Trump are the bane of this countries existence and we can trash both parties relentlessly. They are both horrid and we can cry all day long on whatever they say, do or not say or not do endlessly for each and every action depending on our personal biases. I get the Trump Derangement Syndrome just like I get the Biden Derangement Syndrome. But, neither are as bad as biased people make them out to be. Those people tend to just express hate endlessly because mass media pushes them over that edge. I bet there was some media outlet that pushed your buttons.

More gems from current President Trump and his crony government
Ted Cruz ensured Trump spending bill slashed weather forecasting funding

Senator on vacation abroad while Texas was hit by deadly floods, a disaster worsened by forecasting cuts, critics say


Ted Cruz ensured Trump spending bill slashed weather forecasting funding
Senator on vacation abroad while Texas was hit by deadly floods, a disaster worsened by forecasting cuts, critics say

Ted Cruz has had quite a week. On Tuesday, the Texas senator ensured the Republican spending bill slashed funding for weather forecasting, only to then go on vacation to Greece while his state was hit by deadly flooding, a disaster critics say was worsened by cuts to forecasting.

Cruz, who infamously fled Texas for Cancún when a crippling winter storm ravaged his state in 2021, was seen visiting the Parthenon in Athens with his wife, Heidi, on Saturday, a day after a flash flood along the Guadalupe River in central Texas killed more than 100 people, including dozens of children and counselors at a camp.

...

But before his Grecian holiday, Cruz ensured a reduction in funding to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (Noaa) efforts to improve future weather forecasting of events that cause the sort of extreme floods that are being worsened by the human-caused climate crisis.

Cruz inserted language into the Republicans’ “big beautiful” reconciliation bill, before its signing by Donald Trump on Friday, that eliminates a $150m fund to “accelerate advances and improvements in research, observation systems, modeling, forecasting, assessments, and dissemination of information to the public” around weather forecasting.

A further $50m in Noaa grants to study climate-related impacts on oceans, weather systems and coastal ecosystems was also removed. Cruz was contacted by the Guardian with questions about these cuts and his trip to Greece.

So its been confirmed that the DOJ released an edited video of epsteins jail cell, which has been cut and looped twice…

Now kash patel is thinking about resigning, along with Bongino.

No loss there, all of them are clowns, and it is too bad theyll get away with this.

The only people getting away with anything is Israel, but everyone's too scared to say their name so the sword always falls on someone else (Epstein was Mossad, he was funded by jewish billionaires with ties to Israel, the entire blackmail ring was focused on politicians to give a certain country power over larger nations, but no focus on edited video tape and did Epstein kill himself, don't talk about what's really going on, bread and circus! and if you speak the truth you're an antisemite!)

I like how the republican voters (who wanted the epstein list/files released a week ago, but after trump told them who cares, now theyre saying who cares too) are so distracted with the new epstein stuff, now theyre calling for Bondi to resign.. the same person who was passionate to release them back in February, and they want kash and bongino to remain, calling them patriots, and yet those are two guys who explicably trying to prevent the files to be released.

What is it that they want then? Feels like thwyre spinning in circles and just want whatever Trump says is “good”.

How is Israel getting away with anything? Sure seems like the people on the list got away with everything. Pam Bondi needs to hold a 30 minute conference and explain everything, most important: “are there records of the people that were abusing these kids?” Epstein didn’t do all this alone. Does Pam Bondi have absolutely no record of wrong doing by anyone else? No victim testimony of the perpetrators? Nothing? You can blame Israel all you want, but Pam Bondi was previously registered under FARA for Qatar and Qatar certainly doesn’t do Israel any favors. We just need some transparency.

In my opinion, Pam is being told to shut the hell up by kash dan and donald. Only way she will talk is it she gets protection by a court of law.

Trump isnt going to let her go because she knows too much and he has to keep her close.

There’s a million different takes people can have on this. In my opinion I think Trump believes everything was handed over that the government has, while Kash is as solid a human being you can get, and Dan walked away from a very high paying podcast to assume command. Bondi though had no clue how big a deal this case was to people and she said some dumb **** that’s now coming back to bite her. She can rectify this by explaining why not one other person is getting prosecuted. Even then it won’t be good enough for many people cuz Bondi made it seem like the files existed and were on her desk. What a complete **** up on this.

Israel's getting away with everything because nobody is asking who Epstein was working for or what the reason for the blackmail was, they just want to hear the names so they can gossip about celebrities or red team/blue team stuff. And no I'm not defending anyone on this, just pointing out the only people who are going to take heat are the ones not releasing the files, but notice nobody's asking the questions that really matter, like why have a child sex trafficking blackmail ring in the first place, or who stands to benefit from all this, or who Epstein really worked for?

If Israel was his backer, then maybe they got away with it? But what exactly did they get away with? What did they gain?

I looked into it and I am not seeing any evidence Epstein was an Israeli agent other than some unverified second hand info that one person said he was and that person (Bannon) is now saying he heard it from someone else too. I also heard Mike Cernovich, one of the reporters that brought this story years ago, say he thinks Epstein was at a level well above Mossad since the establishment never shut down the Mossad rumor.

There’s a lot more to this story, but almost no leaks. Even Area 51 had people leaking out info. Very bizarre. Maxwell seems ready to testify, so let’s see what happens.
