No one, and no thing, is coming to help him this time.

Not his maga base, not a delay-able justice system, or the Supreme Court, not a friendly Congress, not any of our allies, certainly not Russia or China. Not public opinion. No one in his cabinet can fall on this sword for him.
He's put himself in a trap of his own making, and the whole world (including the Iranians) know it.

I'm not going to rejoice exactly, because a lot of people have died already and more are going to. But he did this to escape Epstien, and this isn't an escape, and he's realizing this trap might be just as bad. He's caught, he ****ing knows it, and there's nothing he can do. I'm not rooting for the Iranians, but NOW is when we need everybody in Congress that's not a 'foreign policy wonk' to start back in on epstien and ICE and everything else, because now he CANNOT escape the traps he's set for himself.
Lets finish him off.
'Let's kill him PROPERLY, this time.'

Two weeks from today is Cesar Chavez Day, a state holiday in several states including California. There are usually events held to celebrate the legacy of Chavez and the United Farm Workers union. However, this year the UFW has announced it will not be participating in any Chavez related events because of new allegations of "abuse of young women or minors." The UFW posted this explanation today. [Emphasis in original.]

Quote

The UFW has learned of deeply troubling allegations that one of the union’s co-founders, Cesar Chavez, behaved in ways that are incompatible with our organization’s values. Some of the reports are family issues, and not our story to tell or our place to comment on. Far more troubling are allegations involving abuse of young women or minors. Allegations that very young women or girls may have been victimized are crushing. We have not received any direct reports, and we do not have any firsthand knowledge of these allegations.  However, the allegations are serious enough that we feel compelled to take urgent steps to learn more and provide space for people who may have been victimized to find support and to share their stories if that is what they choose.

The United Farm Workers will not be taking part in any Cesar Chavez Day activities.

Instead, we call on our allies and supporters to take part in immigration justice events and acts of service to support farmworkers or empower vulnerable people in their own communities.

I bet the student wants his loans forgiven as well.

WASHINGTON — President Trump signed an executive order Monday afternoon formally creating a benefits-fraud task force chaired by Vice President JD Vance as part of his state-focused “war on fraud.”

Vance joined Trump in the Oval Office for the event, the details of which were first reported ahead of time by The Post.

“It seems that it’s usually in blue states. If it’s in a red state, we’re going there too,” said Trump, focusing his ire on the social-services scandal in Minnesota.

Trump joked that Vance would fulfill his fraud-czar duties with greater zeal than former Vice President Kamala Harris embraced her role as President Biden’s border czar.
