This Corrupted DHS Is in No Position to be Making Unconstitutional Demands of Anyone

Yet another overt sign by the Epstein administration of their desire to undermine our constitutional democracy and instill authoritarian fascism in the US:

 

Link:  Kristi Noem's DHS secretly demands tech giants fork over names of ICE critics: report - Raw Story

 

"The Department of Homeland Security has expanded efforts to identify Americans who criticize or track Immigration and Customs Enforcement, sending hundreds of legal requests to major tech companies seeking information behind social media accounts, according to a report in The New York Times.

In recent months, DHS has issued administrative subpoenas to Google, Meta, Reddit, and Discord requesting names, email addresses, phone numbers, and other identifying data tied to accounts that comment on or monitor ICE activity."   

 

"Criticizing" and "Commenting" on ICE is constitutionally guaranteed free speech as clearly outlined in the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.  Period.  No further discussion required.

This is what fascist dictatorships do to quell dissent among their populace and to intimidate anyone daring to speak truth to power about the criminal actions of a despotic, corrupt regime.

And don't be fooled.  If this corrupt bunch are allowed to get away with silencing and persecuting Americans who "criticize" or "comment" publicly about the constitution-shredding, criminal antics of their goon ICE agency, then it gives them free license to silence and persecute any citizen of this country, for any reason they choose.  And no matter how you look at it, that is not 'freedom.'

The backlash is growing nationally against DHS and ICE and their criminally inept leadership.  Summarily executing two white Americans in broad daylight on camera certainly has contributed to that backlash.

And it should really concern many more Americans that recent news reporting indicates ICE is spending upwards of $40 billion in US taxpayer money to buy up huge warehouse properties across the country, and that they intend to convert these warehouses into giant factories of caged humans where up to 10,000 prisoners and kidnappees  will be housed and treated inhumanely until the criminally corrupt regime can 'process' them.

When was the last time we saw a major, industrialized nation on this planet caging large numbers of humans in massive structures?  If you have to think more than 5 seconds about that, here's a helpful hint:  Adolf Hitler's rise to power - Wikipedia.

So no, giving a vindictive DHS the power to subpoena ANYONE's private data solely for being critical commentators on the clearly unconstitutional actions by a rogue agency of masked paramilitary goons is not acceptable at all.

And if the Drumpf fluffing owners of Google, Farcebook/Meta, Reddit, or any of these other parasitic media/social media platforms go down that path, there is going to be a mass exodus and rejection of their products to follow.  

I personally am already in the process of divesting myself from Google products as much as I can and long ago abandoned Farcebook and Xshitter.  Those weren't easily made choices, but they were necessary choices.

"President Donald Trump won't get rid of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over his lies about his relationship with deceased financier and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein any time soon, because Trump fears he would end up going down with him."   

 

Actually, Epstein was a convicted sex trafficker.  Another egregious error by our lazy stenographer mainstream media.

Nonetheless, yeah, Drumpf isn't going to allow Howard Lutnick to become a casualty of the 'Epstein Files' as is happening with government and other wealthy elites across Europe right now who are also being outed as Epstein associates.

Here in the gold old US of A, we protect our American pedophiles, don't we folks?  Fuck, we even let them remain living in our nation's presidential palace, The White House, and continue giving them taxpayer funded government contracts.

Howard Lutnick will not resign in disgrace, or be fired by Drumpf for the simple reason that pedos watch out for each other.  They share a common life passion (sex with kids) and they bond over that passion and defend it and each other with zeal.

Guy Who Attempted a Coup to Overthrow our Democracy Has Concerns About Election Integrity

Every word of this is a standard, convoluted Trumpian lie of course, and just another example of Drumpf's attempting to deflect attention away from his pedophilia problem by peddling lies to deceive and distract the public and manufacture controversy where none exists :

 

 

Link:  Post by @darrigomelanie.bsky.social — Bluesky

  

Drumpf, his MAGA minions, the corrupt MAGA GOP - all of them have spent the past half dozen years and more trying and FAILING miserably to prove that VOTER fraud (not election fraud, which is a very different thing) takes place on a massive scale in America.  And the truth after all those efforts is that actual VOTER fraud turns out to be one of the rarest crimes committed in this country.

But what does the truth mean to people who protect pedophiles, amiright? 

The linchpin electoral events that have given rise to this asinine idea of those on the far right that massive VOTER fraud is taking place across the country were Drumpf's popular vote loss to Hillary Clinton in 2016, an embarrassment for which the whiny old, orange twat has never gotten over, and of course his 2020 landslide loss to Joe Biden for which he threw a tantrum and a violent, deadly insurrection over.

Drumpf and all of his high priced lawyers and elections "experts,"  and all of his corrupt apparatchiks filed more than 65 court cases contesting the outcome of that 2020 election in legal venues across the country, including all the way to the US Supreme Court in an attempt to undo the results of Biden's victory.

Drumpf and his enablers alleged massive VOTER fraud, and that the election had been "stolen" from their crooked, rapist, child molester candidate in favor of Biden.

They lost every one of those court challenges, including in front of Trump-appointed judges.

It's been reported that Drumpf has admitted in private to having fairly lost that election to Biden, but still rails publicly about it having been "stolen" from him to placate his cult, which of course makes him out to be a lying fraud but we already knew that about the smelly old rapist.

DonOld's sudden interest in election integrity is just typical Drumpf deception, conniving and chicanery, but it also signals his intent if he can get away with it to interfere in the midterm elections later this year, and if the greasy old, kiddie diddling mobster does engage in some kind of voter suppression ratfuckery, which is what his tweet hints at, there is going to be bad trouble across this land.

The Public Health of the Country is in the Hands of a Junkie With a Worm Ravaged Brain

Too bad Americans didn't hear this fucking weirdo make that admission during his confirmation hearing for HHS Secretary.  There may have been more serious and rigorous opposition to his nomination.

The guy was (is?) an admitted heroin addict for 14 years.  Apparently he was a cocaine addict too if he was snorting lines of nose candy off of public toilet seats.

JFC - every day it's a new, horrifying revelation with these MAGA creeps and dirtbags.

It's just rotten, wretched people from the top to the bottom of this execrable administration.

Conspiracy Bloodletting Consumes Toilet Paper USA

Meanwhile, over on the MAGA homefront there's palace intrigue afoot in the TPUSA clan.

Wingnut bomb-thrower Candace Owens has lit a conspiracy fire under the TPUSA folks over the killing of Charlie Kirk, pointing the finger inward at TPUSA people themselves, and I have to say that it's more than just a little bit thrilling watching some of the most awful human beings in this country going at each other's throats over control of Kirk's empire.  Let's hope they eat each other alive, or not alive, either is fine by me:

 

Link:  Turning Point USA purges staff as insiders spread wild Charlie Kirk theories: report - Raw Story

 

"Turning Point USA has allegedly been purging staffers who bought into conspiracy theories about co-founder Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Aubrey Laitsch, a communications staffer for the right-wing activist group, posted a video claiming that she was called into a meeting last month and summarily fired. The Bulwark reported that she's not the only staffer cut loose for their apparent belief that Turning Point USA was involved in Kirk's murder.

Conspiracy theories about the 31-year-old Kirk's assassination have grown in popularity on the right after influencer Candace Owens, a former TPUSA employee, spread claims that his killing was an inside job. Laitsch said she's not the only employee who buys into the idea."   

 

 

When I was a kid, the letters 'TP' stood for 'toilet paper.'

Henceforth I shall forever more refer to that organization as Toilet Paper USA.  It's infinitely more befitting the moral values of their adherents anyway.

Who Hides a National Security Whistleblower Complaint in a Locked Safe for Eight Months? Traitors Perhaps?

This sounds very bad.  As in possibly endangering U.S. national security bad.

And it does not shock me in the least to hear that the 'Slim Man' guy who gave Saudi Sheikh MBS intel which led to the Saudis kidnapping then Washington Post journalist Jamaal Khoshoggi, murdering him, then cutting his body into pieces with a bonesaw, and who took a $2 billion cash payout as gratitude from the Saudis for that service, is at the center of whatever ratfuckery is going on here: 

 

 

Link:  Allegations against Jared Kushner surface in bombshell complaint against Tulsi Gabbard - Raw Story

  

"The Wall Street Journal revealed new details Thursday about the classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard — and it involves President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

According to the report, the complaint concerns an intercepted conversation that two foreign nationals had about Kushner, who has held a number of mostly informal roles in White House policymaking and diplomacy, particularly during Trump's first term in office.

This conversation, the report continued, included "allegations" against Kushner that two senior U.S. officials have confirmed would be "significant" — although there was no corroboration of whatever the allegations were.

"It couldn’t be determined which country the foreign nationals are from or what they discussed about Kushner," said the report. "But the connection to Kushner sheds further light on the top-secret whistleblower complaint that bureaucratically stalled within Gabbard’s agency for eight months and was kept locked in a safe until it reached Congress in heavily redacted form last week."" 

  

I mean, if you have to hide a national security whistleblower complaint in a locked safe, and kept incognito from Congress for eight fucking months, then it doesn't beg the question of what is being hidden, it goddamn demands it.

Gabbard has been a longtime Putin apologist.  I trust her no more than I trust Donald Trump to be in a room alone with a 12-year old girl.

Jared Kushner himself is married to Drumpf's anchor baby daughter.  Remember in Drumpf's first term the Orange Menace overrode the advice of his national security people and waived top secret security clearances for both Jared and Ivanka who were unofficial White House "aides?"  Uh-huh.

Also, don't forget that Jared Kushner's own convicted felon father Charles Kushner was given an unconditional pardon by Drumpf, a case in which the prosecuting attorney who put Charles Kushner behind bars called the crime committed by the elder Kushner as "one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes" he ever prosecuted.

Totally scummy, wretched people from top to bottom in Drumpf's family and his general orbit.  They're all just a bunch of thieves and knaves, charlatans and clowns, grifters and grafters, sexual perverts, and without a doubt, more than just a few traitors too.

Pam Bondi is Bill Barr in a Platinum Blonde Wig and High Heels - The New White House 'Fixer'

So, if you haven't seen Drumpf Attorney General Pam 'Scam Blondi' Bondi's vituperative meltdown in front of Congress yesterday, you really do need to watch her snarling performance to get a clearer idea of just how much disdain that she and the rest of her fellow MAGA apparatchiks in Drumpf's criminal regime have for our constitution, our laws, our institutions, and our American values.

Watch this video clip and tell me that this deranged woman isn't hiding some terribly awful shit from the American public:

 

 

Link:  @meidastouch.com on Bluesky

  

Keep in mind folks that Pam Bondi has seen ALL of the UNREDACTED photos and videos of Epstein and Maxwell's child rape and has chosen to help cover it up.

I see a criminal trial and an orange jail jumpsuit in Pam Bondi's future.

Here's a really good primer on what we saw happening with Drumpf's 'fixer' Bondi in that Congressional hearing yesterday:

Let's Just Start Calling This Regime the 'Epstein Administration'

More Epstein files fallout with yet another member of Drumpf's administration being found to have unmentioned ties to Epstein AFTER he had been convicted of child sex trafficking related crimes.

This time it's the supplement-peddling, quack doctor who Drumpf appointed as the head of Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz who we find out was hobnobbing with Epstein:

 

Link:  New details revealed about high-ranking Trump official's ties to Epstein - Raw Story

  

"Jeffrey Epstein's ties to one of President Donald Trump's officials appear deeper than previously reported, new documents show.

A newly unearthed email from Mehmet Oz, Trump's Medicaid services administrator, and his wife, Lisa, shows the couple invited Epstein to their 2016 Valentine's Day party. The email, which was shared by progressive lawyer Aaron Parnas on X, includes a link to a digital invite that the Ozs sent Epstein from a company called Paperless Post.

Oz, who was critical of Epstein's crimes on his syndicated cable show, "The Dr. Oz Show," has also been linked to Epstein going back as early as 2004, CBS News reported. Epstein allegedly paid for the celebrity television doctor's travel, although the destination remains unknown. The total trip appears to have cost over $1,500, according to the report."

  

Epstein's conviction on the child sex charges took place in 2008.

Oz was hobnobbing with Epstein from 2004 to at least Valentine's day 2016.

What kind of people invite a notorious child rapist and child sex trafficker into their home to hang out with them on Valentine's Day?

I think we all know the obvious answer to that question at this stage.

Once again I will pose the big picture question - is there anyone in top positions in Drumpf's orbit who DOES NOT have ties to the child rapists and child sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell?

Jeanine Pirro Couldn't Indict a Ham Sandwich 'Terrorist,' Much Less a Decorated Veteran and Astronaut

Wow as in holy shit wow.

Wait until you see, if you have not already seen it, Drumpf's Pedo Protector Attorney General Pam Bondi's 'performance' in front of Congress today.  If you haven't watched any video of that shitshow, I will share a couple of clips in an upcoming post.  You may want to consider having a bottle of liquor handy when watching those clips though, they are that harrowing.

Anyway, before we get to Scam Blondi Bondi's scummy meltdown in Congress today, let's talk about another DOJ toady Jeanine Pirro's attempt to indict two Democratic military veterans and senators., Elise Slotkin and Mark Kelly for publicly reminding U.S. troops they are not obligated to follow illegal orders, when in fact they are required by the Uniform Code of Military Justice to not only refuse unlawful orders, but to report them up the chain of command.

Pirro failed miserably in that disgustingly partisan effort, and everyone knows it was  partisan and that it was ordered by the desperate and demented Pedophile-In-Chief.

 

Link:  DOJ fails to indict Democrats involved in 'illegal orders' video

 

"WASHINGTON — The Trump administration tried and failed Tuesday to indict Democratic lawmakers over a video urging members of the military and intelligence communities not to comply with unlawful orders, three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

The indictment, pursued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, led by Trump appointee Jeanine Pirro, is the latest example of the Justice Department’s targeting the president's perceived political opponents. The government attorneys assigned to the case are political appointees, not career Justice Department prosecutors, according to one of the sources.

It’s exceedingly rare for federal grand juries to say prosecutors failed to meet the probable cause threshold for an indictment, and typically happens only a handful of times each year in the vast federal judicial system.

Trump administration officials failed Tuesday to convince a single juror that they had met the threshold to bring charges against the Democratic lawmakers, according to two of the sources familiar with the investigation. Federal grand juries have between 16 and 23 members, with 12 needed to advance an indictment."

   

They couldn't convince a "single juror" on the grand jury to go along with their sickening scheme.  Thank God we still have some honest and patriotic Americans in this country who recognize and understand what the TRUE politicization and 'weaponization' of federal power looks like when they see it.  In this case the entire empaneled grand jury told Drumpf and his wino DOJ apparatchik Jeanine Pirro to go pound sand.

The exact same thing happened with the Letitia James and James Comey indictments.  Those nakedly partisan charges were laughed out of court.

The same happened to the Washington D.C. resident who Pirro tried and failed to prosecute on both felony and misdemeanor charges for throwing his freshly purchased Subway sandwich at the bullet-proof vest covered chest of a National Guardsman who Drumpf had illegally sent to patrol the streets of his city.

And also now the same is happening with a whole lot of the cases of protesters and innocent bystanders arrested by ICE seeing most of their cases being thrown out of court too.  

There are reports of judges across the country citing outright lies in court (aka perjury) by ICE agents and officials, and failure to present credible evidence of their charges against the people who they are attempting to incarcerate.

So what we are witnessing with these juries and jurors rejecting the brazen politicization and weaponization of the DOJ by Drumpf and Bondi, are not only the foundational principles and traits of honesty, civic duty, and patriotism, which exist in more Americans than their are MAGA adherents, being practiced, but also a 'We The People' counterbalance to the corrupting of the DOJ by Drumpf and his stooges.

The good and decent Americans on these juries are essentially telling Drumpf and Bondi to go fuck themselves and quite frankly, it needs to happen more often.

How Many Epstein Files Alumni are in Trump's Administration? Too Many to Count...

The hits are coming fast and furious now with Drumpf's pedophilia problem.

First we find out that Drumpf's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the creepy, ingratiating asskisser who is incessantly praising Drumpf publicly like a North Korean apparatchik praising Kim Jong Un, lied about his own past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and now since that lie has been exposed in the latest tranche of released documents, Lutnick has more or less disappeared from public view:

 

Link:  Lutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show

 

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said he had "limited interactions" with Jeffrey Epstein, but documents show they were in business together as recently as 2014. 

 

Lutnick claimed he had no contacts with Epstein sinice 2005.  He lied.  He was doing business with Epstein as late as 2014.  Why would Lutnick have lied about that?  What is he trying to cover up? 

And then we have this bit of eyebrow-raising assholery from today:

 

Link:  Ghislaine Maxwell invokes Fith Amendment in House deposition

 

Link: Ghislaine Maxwell vows to tell 'unfiltered truth' about Epstein — on one condition: lawyer - Raw Story

   

So essentially, the convicted child molester and partner to Jeffrey Epstein's child rape and child sex trafficking activities, Ghislaine Maxwell is claiming she will tell the whole world everything about Jeffrey Epstein -- IF! -- she is pardoned by Drumpf.

Keep in mind that Maxwell has already met privately with Drumpf's former criminal defense attorney and now corrupt Deputy AG, Todd Blanche and many believe a deal was struck in that conflicted meeting to free Maxwell in exchange for her publicly exonerating the lying, orange piece of shit in the White House.

Read what the family of Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre had to say in a publicly-issued statement about Maxwell invoking the Fifth Amendment in court today and her demand for a pardon in exchange for her testimony:

 

Link:  Virginia Giuffre's Family Goes Nuclear on Ghislaine Maxwell

  

As Virginia Giuffre's family made clear - Ghishlaine Maxwell needs to serve out every single day of her well-deserved prison sentence.  No compromising.  No deals.

And who the fuck does Maxwell think she is that she can demand the terms of her coming clean about the horrific child rape and child sex trafficking criminal activities that she knew of and was involved in with Epstein?  Fuck her.

But you know what folks?  Maxwell likely knows where all the kiddie rape skeletons are buried and and in whose backyards they are buried.  That gives Ghislaine some impressive leverage over some very powerful and wealthy people who she knows some really nasty secrets about.

Shit is getting real here now with MAGA's pedo problem and it's only going to get worse.
