Trump is Teeing Up a Pardon of Epstein Accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Think he wouldn’t do it? Really? Did you also think he wouldn’t pardon the January 6 insurrectionists?

Republicans protect pedos.

I don't want to hear any BULLSHIT from MAGA about the Dems. If all Dems were in these files republicans would be SELLING the files to MAGA. Personally I think there is a dem or two in this file (not Obama or Biden..one before them) plus republicans, princes/dukes and I want them ALL PROSECUTED.

Trump said he would release the files, Bondi said she had the files and videos and Republican Congress voted TWICE to HIDE the files then left on vacation so Dem could not force another vote. Trump is now saying there are no files..BS! Now Epstein's lawyer is dead and instead of talking to victims for the truth they are going to a CONVICTED pedo and give her aid if she tells them what they want to hear.

WHY are they NOT RELEASING the FILES?

"The names, photos, and background stories of 1,575 rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, are up on "Wall of Shame," an installation by artist Phil Buehler in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn. Jacob Chansley the "QAnon Shaman," Proud Boys Hawaii Chapter founder Nicholas Ochs, and even President Donald Trump are shown on the wall, categorized into colors of red, blue, and white."

Classic move with any abuser. 'I'm old and sick and I'm working soooo hard, how could you say bad things about me?' Asshole, they are true things about you. If they're bad, it's because you do bad things.

As corporate media bows to Trump, public broadcasting has never been more important.

A free press exists to question authority and help the public question it as well.

But authoritarians insist that they must never be questioned.

This is the cost of tyranny.

South Park absolutely obliterated and humiliated the Trump administration and the parent company of CBS Paramount in their test season premiere that debuted last night on Comedy Central

For context, this all started when the Trump administration sued Paramount (CBS) for 20 billion dollars over their Kamala Harris’ 60 Minutes interview claiming it was edited with selected edits only released.

Donald Trump would have probably lost this lawsuit as it’s a very big reach on the grounds of merit. Interviews and TV programs are edited literally all the time, even Trump’s own interviews are edited constantly.

However, Paramount is currently in the process of acquiring a $8.6 billion dollar merger deal with Skydance Media and is afraid that by challenging Donald Trump with the 60 minutes lawsuit, he would deny their merger approval. Mergers would need to be approved by the Trump administration and the FCC. So they ended up settling in court for $16 million dollars.

Then, on a July episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert which also airs on CBS, Colbert then criticized Paramount (CBS) for settling in court with Donald Trump, then 3 days later Paramount announces that Colbert’s show will be cancelled after 2026 in part because they are desperately trying to get on Donald Trump’s good side to approve that merger with Skydance. Paramount CBS claimed “financial reasons” as to why they are cancelling Colbert.

In the meantime while this is all happening, Paramount CBS and the creators of South Park Trey Parker and Matt Stone are in back and forth discussions with Paramount to extend the streaming rights to South Park. They eventually reached a deal last week for $1.5 billion dollars.

After the contract was signed on the dotted line, South Park went scorched earth on Trump and Paramount. Mocking and humiliating them and even depicting Donald Trump with Satan which has the White House absolutely furious. No word on how this will impact the Paramount and Skydance merger and if Trump will threaten Paramount again.

In 1960, the average price of a house was $11.9k. In today’s money, that would be around $129k. In 1960, the federal minimum wage was a dollar an hour. Roughly $2,080 a year if you work 40 hours a week every week. In today’s money, that’d be around $22k a year.

Today, the federal minimum wage is 7.25 an hour. Roughly $15k a year if you work 40 hours a week every week. Today, the median home price is $410k and the average is $512k.

In 1960, making minimum wage, and saving every single cent you make (and disregarding taxation), it’d take 5 and a half years to save up enough to buy a house. In 2025, making federal minimum wage, and saving every single cent and disregarding taxation, it would take you 34 fucking years to have saved up enough to buy an average priced house, 27 years to buy a median priced one.

Young people cannot afford homes. Young people will never be home owners. Young people can barely afford to eat and pay rent for a studio apartment. Boomers completely pulled that ladder up from us and fucked everyone over for the rest of their lives while they enjoy their beach houses and boats and luxury cars. This system is fucked.

Another example of nickel and dimeing the working poor, formerly the middle class. Then we get to pay an extra 15% on anything imported from Europe, 50% more on anything from Brazil, an overall 10% more on all imports in Trump’s sweeping tariffs.

It’s cool though. We have less access to affordable healthcare, no help for working families, medical research is paused, they just eliminated the department that deals with human trafficking at the DOJ, electricity is estimated to increase in cost 200% in some areas with the termination of renewables while simultaneously poisoning the land and air with outdated, dirty forms of energy, the House of Representatives gets to have an extended recess in order to hide disgusting crimes the president did shielding them from the American people, and of course the most wealthy people in the country, on the planet even, will pay significantly less in their tax contributions into the country which produced their wealth, in the nations largest transfer of money, taking from the poor to give to the rich, while at the same time adding over $3 trillion to the national debt, so overall… Everything is great!

How much will it take for people to see Republican policies screw the working class?
