aaaaaand today in 'shit that happened while I was writing this shit'

"NEWS: Deputy AG Todd Blanche says the DOJ will only release a partial batch of the Epstein files today, rather than all of them. Blanche says DOJ needs more time to make redactions."

FUUUUUCK YOU TODD

JsuttraL's avatar

We are going to end up with thousands of sheets of black paper, with spots of white space.

Babe Paley's avatar

They probably ran out of printer ink from all the blacking out and that's the issue. There was a bunch of entry level staffers at DOJ last night furiously taking out the toner cartridges and shaking them to print just a few more pages.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Res ipsa loquitor, counselor. If he's not in 'em, why redact? We all know he doesn't care about anyone else and so would not redact for them.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

He might for his rich owners/donors, that are in the files they could pay him to be redacted, just like with the pardon czar Ed Martin. Just pay in strump crypto.. done!

drosophilist's avatar

Nah, more likely it will end up with:

[redacted] Bill Clinton [lots more redacted] Clinton [everything else redacted]

Thats what I envision.

the House Dems released another 90+ pictures from the estate files yesterday.

James Starr's avatar

really? where are they released?

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

James, I understand but you are speaking with logic, that isn’t working lies are working but even they are being modified there is no scam in just the truth no angle to suck the rubes into screwing themselves again but now they are letting the libs think there is hope and dopey is the lamest of ducks. I don’t get what this timeline is going thru there is no cult moving as one, not right now. They do need that or Election Day could be the ugliest thing the US has ever experienced! 2028 is so far away.

Steve in SoCal's avatar

Not a problem, just replace every redacted space with "Donald Trump"

joannegucci's avatar

SO PERFECT! GENIUS! That needs to go viral!!!! 💙🌻🦋✌🏽

Major Kong's avatar

People will just read "Trump" into every redaction. I am An Old, and I remember when Nixon was forced to release transcripts of the White House tapes. Every time I came across "expletive deleted" I just read it as "fuck".

Connie Hillyer's avatar

Expletive deleted! I had forgotten about that. Those Nixon days seem so benign now.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Your comment really made me stop and think. I remember then that we were ashamed as a country to have a crook and a cheat as President. We thought it couldn't be worse. We aired our dirty linen in hearings for the world to see, and we didn't know how we'd get past it.

Now, it's exponentially worse. But ya know....we'll get past this, too. Whether we'll learn the lessons this time that we didn't learn last time remains to be seen.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Oh, I've no doubt WE'LL learn OUR lessons - never to allow a deranged fuckwit to attain the Presidency ever again! What remains to be seen is IF the magats who still remain in the cult ever regain THEIR senses and learn from that most awful mistake THEY made, sticking US with this horrid excuse for a human.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Well....I don't accept that Rump was actually re-elected. Between GOP dirty tricks and Elon's possible [likely, IMO] intervention, the November 2024 results were skewed enough to give Rump a bogus win. If that truly was the case, we may not have a choice about future fuckwits gaining the White House.

Pamela Van Sickle's avatar

I know, Connie. How crazy is that?!

George in Atlanta's avatar

It was an adorable time. We were an adorable people.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Exactly! Res ipsa loquitor. If he's not in them, why the redactions? If he never banged Stormy, why the NDA and payoff?

Trump doesn't pay for what he doesn't get.

And doesn't pay for what he DOES get, either

George in Atlanta's avatar

The 'for the good of the country, let the healing begin' dodge to keep Donny out of the slam won't work for, say, Stephen Goebbels. And there are hundreds just like him, all the way down. None of them have a constituency, no trailer-trash half-wit will lift a finger to help them.

PEACE, LOVE, RESIST's avatar

Knew it. Very predictable.

Teri Springer's avatar

Yes, because they think that there are no consequences. Bondi and Blanche need to be taken into custody for contempt of court.

Leu2500's avatar

This release was not ordered by a court. it's public law

Teri Springer's avatar

Sorry, yes, I miswrote. I should have written “contempt of Congress.”

Joe Witkowski's avatar

They confused “redact” with “re-dicked” and refused to do it because each one costs over $150K. Morons of cosmic proportion.

Nancy Braus's avatar

I am sure they have stalled all this time so they can doctor the content. There is absolutely no possibility that these liars will allow the actual evidence of the orange man's very tight relationship with this provider of young women. While the Democrats have released telling photos, by the time the actual files are released, Bondi and the other shits will somehow use AI to place ultimate family man, Barack Obama, at the epicenter of Epstein's crimes. He is always living in DT's sick brain.

Yup, as expected. They'll kick and scream and lie, and we'll never see the shit that implicates the rump!

It’s a great question why republicans are so interested in everyone’s private parts and what they do in their bedroom.

ITS NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS! LEAVE US ALL ALONE.

There. I feel better now. 🙄

Nancy Potter's avatar

Since right wing men believe in their own superiority and right to control everyone based on what's between their legs, they are horrified at the thought that anyone would voluntarily give that up, and just as offended by the idea that an inferior person, i.e., someone born without a dick, would have a way to acquire one.

PurpleHoorean's avatar

They fear the control will shift away from them. They certainly don’t want competition from someone who is savvy on what’s what with both the vulva and penis. They’re so insecure.

CroneEver's avatar

My understanding is that Musk had a bad penile implant (which is why all his carefully curated kids were IVF) and has been taking it out on the whole human race ever since.

Grace Kennedy's avatar

Musk has had so much “gender affirming care” it’s a wonder he’s even marginally recognizable. Chin, cheekbones, hair… and all these guys taking steroids - come on! Such fragile little babies.

Every accusation is a confession with these toads.

Sher''s avatar

All that and he's still yicky looking...🤢

HI2thDoc's avatar

Shows how fragile and foolish these aging alphas are. As we age, our prostates enlarge. Taking testosterone makes it worse, along with increasing the risk of prostate cancer, which no one in their right mind would want. Insecurity makes men do very stupid things.

AuntTeeFa's avatar

What is it with Republicans? And their supporters!

they all seem to have obsessions of a sexual nature. Whether it’s pedo or trans, maybe they should put Bobby Jr in charge of the perversion department and appoint Nancy Mace as chief inspector since her political life seems to be spiraling. Thankfully.

They're probably looking for ideas.

Babe Paley's avatar

I hate to say this out there on the internet, but what's the difference between the "high quality" penis and the (I can't believe I'm about to say this) "entry level" one? Like, if you think you could manage with a Ford Fiesta penis? And are they circumcised? And how much extra for the balls?

In his next speech trump should note that he's lowered prices on penises by 600%.

Megan Ross's avatar

"...Ford Fiesta penis." I'm still laughing!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Megan Ross's avatar

Yugo!🤣 Years ago, I remember a large comedian claiming that he had underwear bigger than a Yugo, when he was talking about getting in and out of small cars. I can't remember who it was, though...

Susie's avatar

Right?!? The brilliance!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Joe Witkowski's avatar

At a 600% discount, a new penis is a Republican “innie” rather than an “outie”….

Richard Von Busack's avatar

At that price, one nut will be enough!

Terrible people voted for the creature because trans people are among the minorities they wanted to torment. It feels good to make life worse for these tiny minorities. And once that minority is destroyed they'll move on to the next largest one, like a horde of locusts.

Remember, anything like "groceries" or "inflation" or "respect" is just a smokescreen...a paper-thin excuse used to launder their actual desire. One votes for this unreconstructed party and the pricktator that leads it in order to HURT people. HURT people different from them. HURT people who live in Democratic-run cities. HURT people who become Americans but were born elsewhere. HURT people who don't worship their interpretation of Christianity. It's all about pain, and this is the point of sadopopulism, to keep unreconstructed sadists in power.

I swear to God they are using every dystopian book, movie, and show as a guidebook on how to govern vs actually governing.

And Dr Oz?? My God, now I wish he HAD won that Senate seat in PA — because Fetterman ended up just being a rank and file Republican anyway. Oz in that seat would be doing less damage than he is now.

And can we please — for the love of Christ — stop worrying about what is in someone’s pants and what their preferred bedroom proclivity is?

Paula Dean's avatar

Especially since no transgender person has ever caused harm to anyone else.

Lin Talbot-Koehl's avatar

I have a cousin who's son *used* to be her daughter. I have a good friend who's son is now her daughter. I have a niece who, w/ her wife, just had their son back in Aug. And my next-door neighbors, Brittany & Kayla, have a son who's almost 5 yrs old. I also have an acquaintance who's now a *female* professional musician.

NOT ONE OF THEM has EVER held me down & "shoved it (their lives) down my throat", as all these SEXUALLY OBSESSED MAGAtS seem to "believe" is being done to them....by people THEY DON'T EVEN *KNOW*.

I'll tell you what all these friends & relatives ARE doing, though: THEY'RE BEING SCARED TO DEATH OVER ALL THIS VILE RHETORIC, & wondering WHO'S GOING TO HURT THEM &/OR THEIR FAMILIES!! Amongst all these friends & relatives, there are THREE college professors (TWO w/ PhDs), TWO high school teachers, ONE professional musician, & ONE IT expert for a large, national company. These are NOT bums, & NOT perverts; they're SIMPLY PEOPLE TRYING TO LIVE THEIR LIVES, & trying to "fly under the radar" so they aren't RECOGNIZED AS "ABNORMAL PEOPLE", & ATTACKED FOR BEING WHAT THEY *ARE*....PEOPLE WHO ARE FINALLY ABLE TO LIVE THEIR LIVES, FINALLY ABLE TO HAVE BODIES THAT MATCH THEIR MINDS.

What the actual fuck is WRONG W/ THAT??? *THEY'RE* NOT THE PERVS WANTING TO INSPECT OTHER PEOPLE'S CROTCHES!

Schweeet Jeeebus, already!!! 🤬

Just let everybody alone and let them be who they want to be.

I fondly remember one student I had who fancied three-piece suits; she wasn't transgender--she was a girl; she felt like a girl; she was happy being a girl....But she liked men's dress clothing and men's haircuts.

Two Trumpet mothers called my friend in the adminstration, who was in charge of student behavior, to lodge a complaint about the girl's "blatant defiance" of the dress code and to demand she be punished. My friend mildly observed, "Well, there's nothing in the dress code against it, and she is actually abiding more fully to the dress code than every boy in the school."

If you knew "Alice" before she became "Alvin" and were surprised by the transition I'll just say mildly that your powers of observation are deficient.

counterlife's avatar

Fascism self sustains on fear and hatred. The easily manipulated Republican/MAGAs need new hatreds and fears. They don't give up on the old favorites (black, brown, women, LGBTQ etc., -anyone not a white born with a penis straight man, ) but the fascists have to bring on a new hate and fear category of human periodically and the latest is trans persons. MAGA is a movement based on ignorance, fear and hatred. It's okay though, because it's "christian". It's an old as humanity story. This is just a recent very terrible version.

Robert Eckert's avatar

It's precisely *because* they're a small minority that the bullies think they can attack them without consequences. They tried bullying the whole gay community but found out that when all our friends and families were included it was too large a group to get away with.

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

So is mine and he is perfectly happy for the first time in his life!

meryl selig's avatar

Statistically speaking you are 100% right… Trans became an issue because it gave Rethugs something to inflate and create “fear” around…. While also playing on the many profound insecurities of MAGA “men.”

The other side has intentionally made it sound as if the population is overwhelmed by trans or trans-leaning people. Really a non-issue in a sane and civilized society.

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

It is a fixation and sorry but not important to having a peaceful and country of freedoms. This will never be an in your face issue it’s not being g enough and we’ve gotten this far without making this huge issue which it isn’t. Let’s privatize sexuality, if it’s consensual that makes it okay, move on.

Derek Smith's avatar

Why are they so obsessed? They were taught to fear genitals. Talking about them, thinking about them, touching them.

Irascible Ink's avatar

Unless you're in the market for a vag or a peen, why would you give a rat's ass how much they cost? Are you also outraged about the high price of basketball boobs and lips blown up to the size of a baby's butt?

Unless you plan to make any of that shit cheaper for those who want it, STFU.

Cathy Wray's avatar

Irascible, I am sick and tired of republicans demanding to know what's in other people's pants. I thought Republicans wanted little intrusion in their lives from the government. And yet, they insist on telling EVERYONE else what to do. We ALL need to tell them STFU!!! And vote them out of office!!

mermcoelho's avatar

Is t it up to states to set medical stuff? Isn’t that why we have state abortion bans? Can’t these people fuck off and leave already-struggling people to live their lives? Trans rights are human rights.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

technically the ban prevents any hospital or doctor that accepts medicare or medicaid from doing gender care — which means -every- hospital. that how they're getting around states rights

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

I have one question though. They're banning reassignment surgery for minors, which typically isn't done. Are they also banning non-surgical treatments such as hormone replacement therapy or puberty blockers, which not only typically ARE done, but lead to better outcomes for trans people, as I've seen among the 17 trans people I know, ranging in transition age from early teens to 60s?

Nancy Potter's avatar

Yes. So a teenager who would transition to female, after long and careful consultation with parents and doctors, would end up with all those secondary sex characteristics, like a deeper voice, which hormones and puberty blockers are intended to prevent.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

That's why people who transition when they're older have a harder time "passing." And sadly, most have known since they were very young that they were trans but at the time, there wasn't much they could do about it other than grow their hair long and put on a dress. Those who transitioned younger are often not "readable" as their previous gender. I know a couple of young trans women I did not even know were trans when I first met them.

Charles Austin's avatar

That seems to be the case.

Paula Dean's avatar

I am worried about my transgender son. He's been getting his hormone shots from a clinic in Boston for about 20 years. This clinic is entirely dedicated to treating gay and transgender patients.

As obsessed, as they often seem, with previous “golden ages” when we were great, perhaps we should return to some age old practices: blood letting, visiting the wise woman in her shack, laudanum (a mixture of opium and high-proof alcohol) purchased from an apothecary, while, of course, eschewing all modern medicine.

And the source of payment for gender care doesn’t matter. If a hospital provides it, they’ll pull the funding. There is supposed to be a public comment period.
