Jeffrey Epstein Confidante Ghislaine Maxwell Arrested, Sources Say – NBC New York

So, what's the wager on her "suicide". One week? A month maybe? I think it could be a few days.

Corn Pop was a bad dude

Apparently Corn Pop was real. Someone found an obituary in a Wilmington paper.

He had to have his pops, I guess.

I suppose the nickname Corn Pop for a tough guy is too bizarre to make up.

Reminds me of when big biker types have cutesy nicknames

Haven't heard much about the wall for awhile. Maybe because it's falling down?

He Built a Privately Funded Border Wall. It’s Already at Risk of Falling Down if Not Fixed. — ProPublica

Don't forget they gave this grifter $1.7 billion to build other falling apart shit.

Another potential pandemic from China? Seriously? Holy shit, it's the end of the world. Time to nuke China. Or build bigger walls around China if Trump gets re-elected.

China does not have a lot of human rights, animal rights, or general policies on protecting their land from pollution (we are not perfect either but we also don't throw out fetuses into the fresh water) that insight came from testimonies of women who fled China's 1 child policy. We absolutely should not support china on the level we do. They still enslave children in sweatshops which is how many of these greedy companies get their cheap labor. It's disgusting. And sad we have their debt so ingrained.

At hundreds of rehabs, recovery means work without pay

ome work at rehab-run businesses, such as thrift stores or car washes. Others work at outside enterprises, including small businesses, temp agencies and some of the largest, most profitable corporations in the country – Exxon, Shell, Walmart and Tyson Foods. They have manufactured supplies used in the coronavirus pandemic, staffed hospitals, maintained oil refineries, made gas grills and lawnmowers, roasted coffee, detailed cars and cared for animals at a zoo. While they put in anywhere from 20 to 80 hours a week of often-backbreaking labor, the payment for their work goes to their rehab operators. A few facilities, like Heartland, offer participants a token amount of their pay in return, or a small stipend. Others offer nothing at all.

The programs claim the work is treatment, often calling it “work therapy.” Former labor officials say failing to compensate workers is illegal.

I am gonna stop supporting Trump. I am just done with everything going on. I am tired of politics. It has gone on long enough.

But I am actually serious.

This is the GOP green lighting all of the kooks, it's not simply an issue of a single candidate being insane and garbage.

But I wouldn't vote for a "business owner" at this point from any party. Run your business or be in politics, not both.

I really am not a fan of conspiracy theories, what I said a number of times.
However for a while there is one idea that is going around my head: Trump isn't a Russian mole but a DNC mole. In other words down to this day it isn't really clear how he got into the GOP primaries (based on what I seen). Therefore now he is just doing the presidency from which the party wouldn't recover. Turning red states into swing states, what with the process of changes in demographics will be very hard to undo. We all saw that photos with Hilary. The impeachment was basically just forcing the major GOP senators to stand and defend his crazy moves. What will damage them all fairly if he sinks to the bottom. He is burning down the bridges with various groups, news agencies, countries and organizations. Right now he is even literally "thinning" out the party's base. Etc.



Probably not, but you have to admit this is "fishy". I mean if this is really the case this is one of the most "brutal" political moves in modern history.

I like to watch old, old episodes of the twilight zone, like the first season of it, and recently I read a book called This I Believe, which was essays, possibly from a radio show but I'm not sure and I think that people were a little more cerebral in the not too distant past, including in their politics.

I wonder if this kind of thing is just inevitable.
