Election Year or Fear!

Is that the start of a flip?

Ah it would be no show without Punch would it?

So, the Trump word salad self appraising rant in which he said worst inflation in 48 years under Biden. Wrong. Inflation down under his watch. Wrong. A few weeks back he said eggs down 400%, that would mean the shop paid you to take a box of eggs. Mathematically insane. In this latest salad he now said eggs are down 82% but didn't say compared to when. An online search threw up a graph showing the average price of eggs in 2025 to be 4.71 USD, The highest on the graph which starts in 1980. It's feasible eggs have never been this expensive in US history. He repeated his earlier claim of getting Big Pharma to reduce the price of some meds by as much as 600%. More money back for customers. Hell, I'd go to the store and buy meds I don't need just to get the money

With any luck, he'll become a lame duck POTUS come the November midterms when he loses both houses. That'll put a stop to his shenanigans... won't it?

Any road up, according to the bill or whatever it was that got through Congress, today is the day that the full and unredacted Epstein files must be released or there will be Court cases. I fully expect Court cases to be the outcome. There's too many rich, famous and powerful people in them for them to be released without massive redactions.

Maxwell has appealed again with 'new' information that has come to light and her solicitors are claiming release of the files will negatively impact any appeal so...

[Ram Pant]

The bill ordered the full files to be released, unredacted. Huge swathes have been redacted and that could mean serious legal trouble for Pam Bondi, the DoJ and her assistant Director. Is the house of cards about to come tumbling down or with the fanta flavoured one get away with it?

If there is nothing to hide it would be done.

Curiously I hve had little association with Bondi since I left uni where I had a friend with that name. Now twice in a week - the beach shooting and now this.

Excellent news that C4 has Jimmy Kimmel doing the alternative Christmas talk this year. really looking forward to hearing what a genuinely intelligent, funny and self effacing person has to say on the state of the world where myths and lies are seemingly swallowed wholesale by some people and then regurgiattaed by them whislt they deny being sucked in by it!

Thought Kimmel's Christmas message was spot on.

I'm sure the other 49 people who watched it agree with you
