The Gallery of Trump-Inspired Assholes (Part 1)

Awesome as that was, after being told to wait for it I’m a little disappointed that the clip didn’t end with his truck getting run over by a train, or have the Sad Hulk music playing, or something.

Even so: good.

I thought this meant a decal, which would have been bad enough. Then I watched to the end.

On the “glass half full” side, she’s almost certain to lose.

Trump isn’t the cause, but also it’s incredible just how many assholes have flocked to him. When you have to clarify which state campaign chair who carried out child sex trafficking you’re talking about, it might be a sign that something is going on…

There’s been a correction to that Perot article linked in the tweet. The donations to Trump were apparently made by one of Perot’s kids. And there’s also this:

"The coin’s reverse side features the Border Patrol logo and three illustrations: a Border Patrol agent bottle-feeding an infant; an agent fingerprinting a teen boy wearing a backwards baseball cap; and a U.S. Border Patrol van. The text along the edge reads “FEEDING ** PROCESSING ** HOSPITAL ** TRANSPORT.”

“The coin appears to poke fun at the fact that many border agents are no longer out patrolling and instead are now caring for and processing migrants — including families and children.”

Speaking of CBP…

When news broke that thousands of current and former Border Patrol agents were members of a secret Facebook group filled with racist, vulgar, and sexist content, Carla Provost, chief of the agency, was quick to respond. “These posts are completely inappropriate and contrary to the honor and integrity I see — and expect — from our agents day in and day out,” Provost said in a statement. “Any employees found to have violated our standards of conduct will be held accountable.”

I’m sure she’ll try to fob her participation off as some sort of enforcement and monitoring mechanism, but that might be hard to do if it turns out that nobody was ever fired or disciplined for their conduct in that group.

Burn the whole thing to the ground and salt the earth when you’re done. There’s nothing there worth salvaging.

Much like the people who get busted connected to child porn networks who say that they were “just conducting research”. That shit is toxic and sticks.

Ehud Barak may not have known but, Mossad sure as fuck knew.

“Barak was a close friend and business partner with Epstein for years. Now some of those business partnerships are being scrutinized amid questions about Barak’s own source of wealth. The Times reported Saturday that Barak is exploring whether to sever business ties with Epstein, 66, who was charged last week with sex trafficking underage girls.”

Begs the question to what the CIA knew and when…

Everybody connected with Epstein has joined the PRIMO Comprimise Club.

This Epstein business just keeps getting stranger and stranger

Yeah, turns out Epstein is much more than a pedarest:

In addition to his science philanthropy foundation, Epstein also ran a tax-exempt charity founded in 2012, which funneled money to “organizations around the world that seek to celebrate the United States of America and the American Ideals.” His recipients of choice turned out to include multiple Democratic Party politicians as well as liberal causes such as the Clinton Foundation and “The Friends of Elton John.”

From his deep connection with Harvard, a center of elite scientific research in service of American interests, to his funding of researchers in the former Cold War ideological battleground of Berlin, to the channeling research funds to the Western financial safe haven of Hong Kong, Epstein has consistently put his funding where his interests lie: in the maintenance of Western dominance at key strategic centers of empire.

A lot of that is just purchasing influence and insurance, but those things (along with kompromat) can be arbitraged. Western intelligence agencies would be natural customers if that was part of his racket.
