The BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL - PASSED THE HOUSE

Tax Benefits to plan for after passage of OBBB. [Hidden Content] -
Correct. It’s really a big nothing burger conspiracy. Trump—as has been true in many cases—evidently doesn’t realize even POTUS can’t direct a judge to do something in a criminal case. Appears he still believes he can do pretty much anything he wants as POTUS. While I like many of his policies—especially the new law he recently signed that few heard about making fentanyl a Class 1 so cartels and others could really be hammered—he thinks he can do a lot of things he really cannot. Overall, I think he’s done a decent job so far in fulfilling what the voters asked. Definitely have been some hiccups along the way in some of the implementation.

You two have been talking past each other and playing ‘gotcha’ for awhile. It’s been fun to watch. You are —obviously—anti anything Trump, and BD is your opposite. I’m not a fan of many politicians—period. But, I do like what Rand Paul & Dan Crenshaw have to say more than most, and Kennedy from Louisiana always gives me a chuckle.

Wish I’d seen this before my last post above. But, it does follow my earlier thoughts I posted about the judges involved having records sealed. Approval would have to be given to unseal. Sounds more and more like Trump over promised and under delivered as has been the case a lot, and Bondi spoke without thinking.

I don’t know everything many of y’all do about this case because it wasn’t a primary issue affecting how our government operates, it didn’t affect national security, the economy, or immigration. But, Trump has continuously used The Deep State narrative to his advantage. This may be another time where he did, spoke in his normal overly bravado ‘tough guy’ talk, and it’s come back to bite him in the butt. Bondi—in an effort to suck up & caught up in the moment—also went overboard on her narrative. Not sure all these supposed names were ever collected except for specific cases like Prince Andrew. They apparently weren’t needed for the cases against Epstein and Maxwell. Should this be pursued? I guess so. IF the minors involved want to press any charges against the estate of Epstein. Just my thoughts.

So, if it won’t be released, what’s all your railing about? If someone visited the island, that’s not a crime. It would only be a crime if they knowingly concealed knowledge of a crime being committed, or if they participated. You could question their judgement about associations. But—to me—rich folks are weird by default.

If they are found guilty of a crime, I agree. Are any crimes being pursued? My understanding is DOJ said ‘no.’ Something had to be there to convict Epstein in the first place. Maybe not. Maybe there was other evidence. But, specific names, dates, etc. would have to have been included I would think. The presiding judge blocked the release of info for some reason. Wouldn’t that judge have some input on the release?

Have the young ladies/boys (for all I know) come forward to press charges? That would seem to be the appropriate thing to do, right? I really don’t know all the details of this specific issue. It just seems like a OJ Simpson type deal with slimier activities involved. Without making small of the activities, it seems like a National Enquirer type story.
