@jesseljs @MCMLXXIII_AU @Linkin1319 @EdKrassen @mtgreenee Biden's DoJ sent Maxwell to prison. Trump's moved her to very low security and lets her play with puppies.

Look it up or ask Grock Trump could have vetoed congresses legislation to release the Epstein files Again, four years of Joe Biden, no mention of the Epstein files Almost as soon as Trump got in office, suddenly it became release the Epstein files So yes, Donald Trump can simply be told Congress legislature to release the Epstein files

Wow! Every single person should listen to @mtgreenee here. She outlines exactly what went down with Trump desperately trying to prevent the Epstein files from getting released.

@jesseljs @Linkin1319 @EdKrassen @mtgreenee Biden did not have a Senate majority. He had a tied Senate with a tiebreaker vote in the VP. Senate needs 60 votes to prevent filibuster holds on legislation.

The only reason the Epstein files were released was because Donald Trump signed an order If he had not signed the order, the Epstein files would not have been released And you dolt you did not hear one word about the Epstein files when Joe Biden was president and had the Senate and the house majority and could it easily release them at any time

@jesseljs @EdKrassen @mtgreenee Trump didn't make the order, Congress did. Trump signed the bill into law and then set his DoJ and FBI on the files to redact them. No President has the authority to release files sealed by the courts on their own.

Here is the bottom line, Donald Trump did not have to authorize the release of the Epstein files He, like Joe Biden, could have just said no Same with the JFK files Strange how Obama invited and didn’t want to release The DOJ and the FBI are the ones who tried to cut up the Epstein files Trump signed the order to release them and they’ve sent out redacted copies Trump signed the order to release them and DOJ and FBI only released some of them The whole time of course then corrupt news and the lying Democrats kept saying oh Trump is trying to hide the fact that he’s in the Epstein files Trump finally made an order that all files are to be released under redacted. I turned out those democrat beams were front and sensor and of course the news did not cover that and suddenly people stop talking about it.

@talkint01 @NotAvgLiberal Files were sealed until last year. I know you need to cope but denial isn't just a river in Egypt. Hope this helps!

@NotAvgLiberal If any and I mean anything "implicated" Trump it would have been out under the autopen administration. But it wasn't. I know you need to cope but this is a dead end. Hope this helps!

DOJ admitted over 47,000 Epstein were deleted after the war with Iran started. Including files that implicated Trump. Let that sink in.

@QuietPart_Loud @ImBreckWorsham Not blind, the records were under seal from the Maxwell case - which was brought by Biden's DOJ. They could not legally do anything with the files until they were unsealed, which wasn't done until last year with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

@ImBreckWorsham Gee, was Biden’s DOJ blind then? They had access to the same fucking files. Stop bullshitting.

Epstein file documents show Kash Patel and Dan Bongino carefully coordinated "clear and specific guidance" to redact files containing the name of Trump, other former US presidents and a former Secretary of State.

@twitbzed @throwaway_1100 @realrobdurden Ah, blocking and calling someone stupid for using facts while you were so confidently wrong across the board. Enjoy life in your bubble. =)

@twitbzed @throwaway_1100 @realrobdurden Not a tedious lie, just history. Can learn it or not I don't care. They had a supermajority for roughly 72 working days between how long it took Franken to be declared the winner and sworn in (July 2009) and when Brown was sworn in after the MA special election (Feb 2010).

For having a filibuster-proof Supermajority and doing absolutely nothing with it

@twitbzed @throwaway_1100 @realrobdurden I'm not a democrat, just a classic liberal like Jefferson, Madison, et al. But what I am is a student of history, you haven't gotten much of any of it right other than the names involved even though it's easy to go look this up. Surrender duly noted =)

@Khatmandu @throwaway_1100 @realrobdurden I'm sick of having this conversation over and over again with Democrats. Your leaders hate you and everything they promise you is ALWAYS a lie. It didn't used to be this way. The Clintons introduced the art of lying their heads off in the 90s. Liberals have never caught on.

@twitbzed @throwaway_1100 @realrobdurden No, the public option didn't have the votes. Lieberman, Baucus, Conrad, Lincoln, Nelson and Carper in the Senate all stated they wouldn't vote for universal health care. Needed all 60 votes to pass the Senate. Blue Dog coalition in the House was against it also.

@throwaway_1100 @Khatmandu @realrobdurden He fought tooth and nail against the public option. He had the votes. But on the other hand, he had the money. As always, the money won. Obama promised change, then squandered the best chance in a generation to actually achieve it. That was his job. Revile him.

@_jillbeckman @Buccaneers Bucs’ loss is some other company’s gain. Just a fan of the team but appreciated the work you did! Thanks for all the hard work and the creativity.

My position with the @Buccaneers was eliminated last week. I’m forever grateful for the memories made over eight seasons, from building the Bucs’ social media nearly from scratch to seeing it blossom over the years with hard work and sacrifice. Thank you to the co-workers who had me laughing on a daily basis and the players/coaches/staff who made me feel like family. Coach Bowles’ nickname for me, “Smiley,” was because of you all. It is more important now than ever to be adding social media marketers to your organization. It’s about more than being able to make a TikTok — it’s about knowing the brand inside and out, protecting it like a PR professional, building relationships, being trusted as the direct line of communication with the fans, reading the room & much more. Those skills are invaluable to your company and no longer a luxury but a necessity. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience throughout my 20s. Onward and upward! 🙏🏼🫶🏼

@twitbzed @realrobdurden It wasn't shit until the Republicans weakened it honestly. And the intent was to get a bill in place, then build on it to work towards universal health care: cbpp.org/research/healt… networkforphl.org/news-insights/… Some folks just saw it as a half measure instead of a stepping stone.

@Khatmandu @realrobdurden No, but we can let *shit* be the enemy of the good. A public option was perfectly winnable, just like Medicare for All is perfectly winnable today. The main obstacle to M4A is that the Democrats are paid by the health industry to obstruct it, and obstruct it they will.

@twitbzed @realrobdurden Republicans have hindered the ACA at every turn to try and kill it, yet it is still here and still has millions of people registered who could not get insurance otherwise, also millions more qualified for Medicaid because of the bill. Can’t let perfect be the enemy of the good.

@twitbzed @realrobdurden Didn’t say differently, but this is a case where taking what could realistically pass (didn’t have the votes in the dem party for a public option fyi) was better than leaving things as they were. 20m more insured and preexisting conditions covered was a win. (Cont)

@TukiFromKL Don’t need a national voter database. The ERIC system that was in place nationwide worked just fine until conspiracy theorists managed to get a bunch of red states like NC to stop participating.

34,000 dead people on North Carolina's voter rolls.. and everyone's screaming fraud.. These aren't people who died in North Carolina.. the state already removes those weekly through its health department.. these are people who registered in NC.. moved to a different state.. died there.. and NC had no idea.. because America runs 50 separate voter systems that don't talk to each other... fifty states, fifty databases nd completely zero sync.. Visa knows you're dead within 48 hours.. your bank freezes your account before the funeral.. but the system that runs American democracy can't share a spreadsheet across state lines.. every time someone proposes a national voter database both parties kill it.. Republicans call it federal overreach.. Democrats call it voter suppression.. and the dead stay registered.. the only fraud is convincing 330 million people this is the best system the richest country on earth can build

@twitbzed @realrobdurden He actually allowed the tax cuts for the wealthy to expire (only permanent for those making under $400k). Also was in 2012, did not have a super majority then. ACA allowed about 20M more people to get healthcare, national might have been better but wasn't going to get that.

@realrobdurden Oh, he did something with it. He killed national health care for a generation, and made G. W. Bush's massive tax cut for the wealthiest Americans, which was due to expire on its own, permanent. Basically, Obama's 1st term was Bush's 3rd.

@ShaneMGries @DylanRatigan We do not control all the oil flowing to China, not even close. Not to mention they've been planning for this for years. The push for EVs in China displaced the need for roughly the oil they import from Saudi last year - Saudi is the second largest supplier for China after Russia

We now control all the oil flowing to China, which will deter them from invading Taiwan--which ultimately maintains peace in the Indo-Pacific. We've also neutered the IRGC which is a state-sponsor of terror, that funds organizations that destabilize the Middle East and the world. Get it now? Or are you still burying your head in the sand?

My understanding of the US war on Iran: 1. Strait closed - global energy costs up 40 percent +|-. 2. US bases in GCC damaged or severely damaged. 3. US munitions depleted. 4. Profits from new defense contracts directed to Presidents family. 5. US relations with Europe lowest since before WWII. 6. Nuclear material intact in Iran. 7. Israel alienated globally. 8. Adherence to US Constitution increasingly degraded - no war authorization from Congress. Am I missing something? What is the benefit to USA of all this?

@SteveWeigel @NotAvgLiberal Not sure there is a worse policy that runs counter to oil companies being able to expand than choking off the supply and giving Iran the cash cow of charging a toll to passing ships. But hey, we've won this war and obliterated their nuclear program/leadership how many times now?

@NotAvgLiberal Having high gas prices short term in order to remove Iran as a power in the region is a bit different than just having policies that run counter to oil companies being able to expand. In one of those situations there is at least a benefit to the world.

Where the fuck is the Republican outrage… Of gas prices going up from $2.89 to $4.39 in just 6 weeks? MAGA’s good with this? Feel free to comment MAGA… I’d love to hear your defense. Fucking clowns.

@GeorgianaGBK @MsVAF2U Because the why doesn't matter to the courts without the order in place. Your address is public information. Legally, he's got to tell the court (and his ex) where he resides until the divorce is final. As for being a broken record, repetition helps folks listening to learn.

@Khatmandu @MsVAF2U Why do you keep pressing the same point?! The issue never was why he was forced to give the information, the issue was why he didn't want to. You're a broken record.

So, get this. After 6 months of trying to find my husband during a divorce, he was finally forced to tell the judge, under duress, his address. He literally choked

@GeorgianaGBK @MsVAF2U He’s forced to give the information because the only legal way he doesn’t have to give it is to have a restraining order/protective order in place to protect his address. Why he doesn’t want to give it is immaterial at that point.

@Khatmandu @MsVAF2U Okay, that's an entirely different matter. The issue never was whether or not he could prevent her from knowing (with a RO), It was that he was "forced" to divulge it (for whatever reason) and why he didn't want her to know.

@BP3DApps @atrupar They asked him questions on the war, he didn’t answer those and was way off on the average price of gas in CA on Feb 28, it was about $4.

@atrupar Why are they asking the Secretary of War questions about the economy and fuel prices?

GOODLANDER: Do you know what the average cost of a gallon of gas was in this country was on February 28? HEGSETH: If you live in California, it's $8 GOODLANDER: $2.83. Do you know what the cost is today? HEGSETH: Much higher in California GOODLANDER: $4.23. You can't answer this basic question?
