Mr. Booker spoke the simple, obvious reality, and while it needed to said out loud, the maga folks and dt are in such a panic and there is so much chaos swirling, it will barely be heard, so thank you for lifting it up. Also Wall Street Journal deserves. a shout out for publishing this letter, a rare and unexpected act from them, which reflects the importance of the context in which the letter exists. It also suggests more questions - there are other letters, who are they from; how did WSJ get this, and how did they arrive at decision to publish it when dt asked them not to do so, and . . .how did this emerge and from what and who has access to this source and why now?

Sen. Booker is correct. No one could argue.

The Republican leaders in our country sold their souls years ago and are ferociously living up to what that means.

Trump main interest. In his 2nd term is to give wealthy people. A tremendous amount of money. That were collected as income tax from hard working Americans. Billionaires need the help of normal Americans to gain their wealth. This is why FEMA couldn’t do anything on July 4th. Noem didn’t give any financial support to FEMA. Trump wants the money be given to the wealthy. Makes me wonder if the wealthy have a conscience. Earlier evacuation would have saved all the campers at Camp Mystic. Senator Cory Booker is right. The GOPs are scared of Trump. They won’t investigate. If it was a democrat. They would conduct an investigation.

I do believe there is a God! And as JD Dance posted, WSJ did not even get permission from Trump to publish the letter, which, of course, gives permission for the letter to be published. I think this is the beginning of the end for The Nectarine Napoleon!🍑

Booker is correct of course. It hardly matters to the thugs in power. They just laugh up their sleeve at the hapless dems. Autocracy is here whether you like it or not.

If this was a Democratic president, they would crucify them on the White House lawn

Once again, Cory Booker stands up and says the truth. We are totally screwed until we vote them out…too bad that may nit be in time to save our democracy.

The Republicans drank the orange kool aid and are now going for their own.

And to think! The Republicans were salivating to hang Clinton in the public square, while prodding him with pitchforks, and he only got a blowjob.

They were HYSTERICAL about it, carrying on like he raped the Republicans' daughters on live TV!

Here's trumpty dumpty, who actually IS a rapist, and pedophile, and suddenly it's "Oh, Mr. sexual assault, can I make out with your ass some more? How can I please you more? Bend over?

CERTAINLY, SIR!!"

It's just despicable.

Trump is a convicted rapist. Remember the E.Jean Carroll case?

Trump is sliding into madness. His apparent dementia is intensified by his lifelong racism, narcissism, and megalomania driven by his stultifying ignorance and debilitating arrogance. Trump must be removed from office, and either committed to an institution for custodial care or imprisoned—to be determined by the courts.

In either case, it is important that Trump is guaranteed all “due-process” rights guaranteed by the Constitution—the same rights he denied People of Color in his campaign to replace the USA’s Constitutional Republic with a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy to be ruled in perpetuity by the Trump Family Crime Syndicate.

Thank you, Senator Booker (from my great state of New Jersey!) for pointing out the hypocrisy. It used to be that everyone could see the double-standard that Sen. Booker described, but I fear that we're forgetting how to call out hypocrisy when we see it in government. This is essential for a government of, by, and for the people.

I think America's Top Whore wants all and any attention he can get, good or bad. Now I am hearing that he is ordering his own Bond Girl to release the files. Make no mistake, if there are any incriminating paragraphs, they will magically disappear. I love that everyone is once again distracted by this petty criminal. He is a sexual predator and con artist convicted 34 times for fraud, so what's the big deal?

What you should be concerned with is Caroline Levitt's medical report and her use of technical medical jargon to confuse people and make you think there is nothing wrong with this old fool. His veins are blowing up in his legs and hands, but he is perfectly healthy. I doubt it. May he fuckcing drop dead today.

It's disgusting to me that maga is having a collective temper tantrum about epstein and pig (aka trump). I simply don't buy it.

They were vile enough to empower this current regime, and now they're embarrassed. Poor fucking babies. They have been gazing at trump like a bunch of besotted 12 year old girls with their first crush.

I've never bought into the outrage at gays when these 'men' have been blowing trump for 10 years!

They don't have any outrage because pedophile island was where their crush raped children with his buddies.

They kissed his putrid ass even more when he hurt women. When he lied. When he called for his first vice president to be mocked, tortured, and killed. When he was convicted over and over and over, ad nauseam.

They got embarrassed. That's the reality. Their entitled, crybaby, senile leader told them to fuck off. That's why turned. Only that. Now, since they need to be belligerent about something in order to feel relevant, they're pretending to be betrayed. Awww. Now they get to feel all righteous! It's gross.

They would rape their own mothers if the orange freak said that they could 'own the libs'.

Don't forgive them. Don't trust them.

EVER.

I guess they have no idea they will all be unemployed when all of this circus ends. Trump has gone in and out of trauma, but I think his end is near either death by Maga or the bastard actually dies….I will take either, and soon.

I agree 100%. The Republicans have forfeited the job they have to supposedly work for their constituents. They are a complete disgrace and should be voted out.
