This isn't complicated folks:

The Republicans in Congress (plus Manchin and Sinema) refused to renew the expanded Child Tax Credit in President Biden's American Rescue Plan, causing the child poverty rate to more than double.

A year and a half ago, child poverty hit a historic low of 5.2%. The latest figures put it at 12.4%.

Child poverty is a republican choice. Disgraceful. End of story.

This isn't complicated folks:

Republicans whine endlessly about the "invasion at the southern border" while simultaneously tanking bipartisan legislation designed to deal with immigration.

Trump says, "the Senate is better off not making a deal, even if it means the country will close up for a while."

"The border is a very important issue for Donald Trump, and the fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that
he doesn’t want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Joe Biden for it is really appalling." ~Mitt Romney

The bill was supported by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Wall Street Journal editorial board. The National Border Patrol Council, a union that represents about 18,000 border patrol agents, also endorsed the bill.

The border problem is just another GOP choice. Disgraceful.

Facepalm...

Convicted felon, Draft-dodger, rapist and child molester? Ronald Reagan rolls over in his grave.

Donald Trump flew on Epstein's plane at least 7 times...

"The flight logs show that Trump traveled on Epstein's private jets far more frequently than previous sets of records associated with Epstein's aircraft had indicated."

"Trump's niece Mary Trump insisted her uncle and the pedophile were very close."

But don't take her word for it, listen to Trump himself:
Trump: "I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy! He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.
No doubt about it Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

But don't take his word for it, see for yourself:

Video Shows Donald Trump And Jeffrey Epstein Partying With Young Ladies (under-age children?) At Mar-A-Lago....

SNIP
“Trump flew four times in 1993, as well as once in 1994, 1995 and 1997. The flights were between Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City airports, with one 1994 flight stopping at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.”

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-flights-jeff...

That’s seven flights in all, which amounted to Trump using Epstein’s plane, which in essence amounted to a ‘taxi service’..

SO? What’s the big deal besides Biden’s minions trying to make something out of nothing?

LOL! Stop it with your stupid nonsense

One of them started with this yesterday or something, so I assume "Donald Trump = Epstein" is the new thing they've been ordered to push.

The problem is...Trump isn't an Epstein criminal.

But you know who is? William Jefferson Clinton. Good luck, lefties.

The thing is, you don’t understand us “lefties.”

If you have proof that Clinton committed crimes, indict and see if you can have him found guilty by a jury of his peers. And if guilty, have him punished.

I like Bill, but I sure as heck won’t defend his criminal behavior if he’s found guilty.

That’s an easy call if you believe in the American justice system.

Obviously, the MAGA cult does NOT believe in the American criminal justice system.

That’s on you, not me.

Umm..hmm? the names Monica comes to mind..impeachment, fined $25,000, license suspended for five years, not to mention Paula Jones $850,000 settlement against Clinton.

So to the Trump Cult, it ain't no "big deal" when the rapist Donald Trump flies on the Lolita Express seven times (when he owned his own personal jet) but then here comes Dope1 to point the finger at Bill 'cause he musta' been up to no good when he flew on that big old jet airliner:

Dope1: One of them started with this yesterday or something, so I assume "Donald Trump = Epstein" is the new thing they've been ordered to push. The problem is...Trump isn't an Epstein criminal. But you know who is? William Jefferson Clinton. Good luck, lefties.

Actually, Don Jr started this yesterday by claiming on Xhtter that his father NEVER FLEW on the Lolita Express -- like Bill Clinton -- and people quickly pointed out the EVIDENCE from the Ghislaine Maxwell trial that flight logs showed that rapist Donald Trump flew at least seven times WITH EPSTEIN BESIDE HIM on the Lolita Express.

So Donald Trump is exactly the same "Epstein criminal" as Bill Clinton. Ain't no difference between the two flying with Epstein.

Continue on ignoring the evidence but if you're going to argue that it's a bad look for Clinton, you're going to have to argue it's also a bad look for Trump.

Can't have it both ways.

Living in your head. Rent free. I have to say, there's plenty of room in here!

Plenty of democrats flew on the Lolita Express and 'ol Slick Willie himself was known to hang out with underage girls.

But strangely, you're 100% not interested in looking into it. Wonder why that is. <-- Oh, right, I don't.

Had Trump done something even approaching inappropriate it would have come out by now and Biden's weaponized DOJ would have gone full bore on him. This is just another desperate attempt by the libs to change the subject away from Biden's horrible performance on the job and rapidly fading faculties.

Jeebus, there are flight logs!

Yet only one of them is an adjudicated rapist: Trump.

You know, the guy who cheated on his first wife with his second wife, cheated on his second wife with his third wife, cheated on his third wife with a Playboy playmate for months while his wife was pregnant with their son and then raw-dogged a porn star who he said reminded him of his daughter.

That's the guy you adore.

You people are delusional.

But it's not a cult.

Yeah, he only used Epstein's "taxi service" to go to Pedophile Island on seven different occasions!

And there is "only" a few videos of him and Epstein partying with young girls at Mar-a-lago.

Now the MAGAs have stooped to trying to defend Pedophiles. MAGA world keeps getting crazier.

And for you MAGA whatabouters: Bill Clinton and Hunter Biden are not running for President, if they were I would NOT be supporting them.

Trump flew on Epstein plane using it as a taxi service from Florida to NYC airports,

SNIP
“There is no evidence that Trump visited Epstein's notorious Little St. James island, where the late financier is alleged to have trafficked and sexually abused young women and girls. Trump has also never been implicated in the offenses committed by Epstein or Maxwell.”

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-flights-jeff...

On the other hand....
“Bill Clinton was on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island: Court documents

SNIP
“Do you have any recollection of Jeffrey Epstein specifically telling you that ‘Bill Clinton owes me favors’?” Giuffre’s lawyers asked her.

“Yes, I do. It was a laugh though. He would laugh it off. You know, I remember asking Jeffrey what’s Bill Clinton doing here kind of thing, and he laughed it off and said, ‘Well, he owes me a favor.’ He never told me what favors they were,” Giuffre said, adding, “He told me a long time ago that everyone owes him favors. They’re all in each other’s pockets.”

Trump and Epstein were neighbors and friends before their falling out..

SNIP
“President Donald Trump banned his former friend, the wealthy investor Jeffrey Epstein, from his exclusive Mar-a-Lago Club for hitting on the teenage daughter of another member, a new book says.

The late Epstein’s banishment by Trump from the Palm Beach, Florida, club appears to have occurred months before Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to state criminal charges in Florida.”

Desperate people post desperate things. They also tend to lash out more as their emotional state starts worsening.

Hence, threads like this. If they want to dive into the Epstein Pool they can be our guests…and they won’t like what they find at the bottom.

Yes, and I already posted them.

All the rest of the garbage you posted about President Trump is of no concern to me.
What went on in Trump’s private life before he entered politics has nothing to do with his redemption of a damn good president and why Americans want a second term for him, including Blacks and hispanics, who now are supporting President Trump. They remembered how good they had
it with Trump until the pandemic happened.

Ronald Reagan is no longer relevant to this party. As I said a week or two ago, if he were alive today he'd have to register as a Dem. The Reps wouldn't have him. He wouldn't fit neatly in with the Dems, but better than the Reps.

As albaby said, today's Republican Party is almost nothing like Reagan's GOP. It embraces very little that Reagan did. It is now what Dems used to accuse it of being (back when I was a Republican).

Exactly the same? I might believe you after you produce a portrait of Trump kicking back in an evening dress, a portrait that Epstein had hanging in his home.

Gawd, you people really are morons.

Petrina Ryan-Kleid, the Australian artist who painted the work, called "Parsing Bill," for her MFA thesis -- along with one of president George W. Bush playing with blocks and paper airplanes called "War Games, " in a reference to September 11 -- explained:

“It was just a silly school artwork that was supposed to show, pictorially, the messages we are bombarded with in regards to these presidents," about “how opposition parties caricature presidents. Neither painting should be taken literally.”

She has no idea how "Parsing Bill" ended up with Epstein but believes it was purchased from the 2012 Tribeca Ball, a fundraiser for the school.

BTW, of Clinton and Trump, which one wears more makeup than a drag queen, dyes his hair, cuts and styles his own hair, wears bobby pins in his hair, and leans forward like he's on high heels (wearing lifts)?

HINT: It ain't Bill Clinton.

Have you noticed OldJoe does not have forehead wrinkles..

SNIP
“Okay. So I’m talking about a controversial topic here… Politics. And none other than Joe Biden. And I don’t really actually care about Joe Biden’s policies and this and that and who you voted for. What I’m talking about is Joe Biden’s Botox. That’s right. To me as a Botox injector, . Of course he does. He’s almost 80 and no one in their eighties is gonna have a perfectly smooth forehead. Not with some intervention. My biggest issue with Joe Biden Botox is it’s pretty obvious. They don’t soften the lines above his brows. Now, oftentimes we’ll see him with these peaked really overly arched kind of weird facial expressions. That’s an example, in my opinion, of bad Botox.”

https://nypost.com/2023/08/30/plastic-surgeon-clai...

And of course we all know OldJoe spent a fourteen on hair plugs (lol)
SNIP
“Joe Biden is no stranger to the public or to our blog. In November 2013, we discussed the issues with his famous “hair plugs” (see below). Now that Biden will be running against Donald Trump in the fall, his hair transplant (along with additional plastic surgery procedures) is often a topic of discussion and the subject deserves an update for fans of politics and celebrities.”
