Hoax With Sprinkles by Clay Jones

Trump should shut his donut hole Read on Substack

A group of Epstein abuse survivors held a press conference on Capitol Hill yesterday, calling for the release of all the documents related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Donald Trump replied to this, calling it a “Democrat hoax,” which was weird since his name didn’t even come up, other than pleas to help release the files. So, what exactly is the “hoax” he’s speaking of?

This is like a case where someone ran a bus full of nuns off a cliff, and then a friend says to you, “Hey, did you hear about that bus full of…” And you interrupt, shouting, “I didn’t do it! Those nuns are lying!”

Has Donald Trump ever sexually assaulted a nun?

Bipartisan lawmakers and Survivors of Epstein’s abuse gathered on the steps of the Capitol to demand that Congress vote to release all the files related to the investigation. These are files that Speaker Mike Johnson, who told his colleagues to ignore the petition, does not want released. Today on GoComics, one of the trolls said that the Epstein Files won’t implicate Trump. If that’s the case, then Trump should release them.

This is weird because MAGAts are either demanding the release of the files or helping Trump with the cover-up. Is that what Watergate was like, with Republicans stating that nobody needs to hear the missing 18 minutes?

I’ve never said the Epstein Files would implicate Trump, but I’m all for pressuring the regime to release them. There’s a reason why the regime won’t release them. What is that reason? (snip-MORE, and it’s excellent)

Deep Dish Homicide by Clay Jones

I’ve been known to murder a few pizzas Read on Substack

Describing the city as the “murder capital of the world, Donald Trump said yesterday that he’s going to send the National Guard into Chicago, saying, “We’re going in.” Actually, Memphis is the “murder capital” of the United States, but it’s in Tennessee, which is a red state. These are all photo-ops, you know.

Trump reversed course today while entertaining Poland’s new president, who, like Putin, got a military flyover. A lot of DC residents didn’t appreciate the flyover, as those things tend to be loud, and they shake things off shelves, like cats do.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to the District, and I’ve never gotten a military flyover.

Trump said that now he’d like for the military to be invited by governors before he sends the military into their cities for photo-ops, like he did with DC.

Trump said, “We are making a determination now. Do we go to Chicago? Or do we go to a place like New Orleans where we have a great governor, Jeff Landry, who wants us to come in and straighten out a very nice section of this country that has become quite – quite tough, quite bad?” Make up your mind, Trump. Is it nice or is it bad?

Someone must have told Trump that it’s illegal to send the military into cities without formal requests by governors. DC is a different situation as it is under the exclusive constitutional authority of Congress, which has the power to directly intervene in local governance. This arrangement is due to the city’s status as a federal district, not a state, and gives DC residents limited self-government and no voting representation in Congress. The citizens of Washington, DC have taxation without representation.

But other cities are different, and a judge just ruled that Trump broke the law when he sent Marines into Los Angeles to break up anti-ICE protests. Trump can probably expect the same verdict if he invades Chicago, which the city will reject. (snip-MORE)
