Let’s open with Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein. Ever since our hopefully-soon-so-be-former Attorney General, Pam Bondi, said there was no Epstein list (after years of Trump demanding release of the list!) Trump has been decrying the list as bogus and fake, leading many to think he figured prominently on it.<\/p>\n

\n

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s abuse \u2014 and Ghislaine Maxwell \u2014 said they never saw President Donald Trump engage in misconduct, even as scrutiny of his ties to Epstein continues.<\/p>\n

In interviews with NBC News published Wednesday, several survivors and their families said they never saw either Trump or former President Bill Clinton involved in wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That last was the figurative nail Trump has been hanging his hat on – expose Clinton! – but it seems that is not to be. But the MAGA faithful can take heart that Mr. Trump was notably absent, too. In interrogation of Ghislaine Maxwell (Epstein’s right hand lady) she said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t recollect\u2026 ever seeing him in any other context,\u201d Maxwell said of Clinton, explaining she never saw him at Epstein\u2019s residences or private island. She described Clinton as \u201cfriendly on the plane\u201d but added, \u201cI didn\u2019t see President Clinton being interested in Epstein. He was just a rich guy with a plane.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Maxwell also said she never saw Trump behave inappropriately.Dallas Express<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hey, if the plane was going where they wanted to go and had room – they sponged on Epstein for a ride. Ecocrusaders should rejoice that the Presidents reduced Epstein’s carbon-per-passenger-mile numbers, right? Greta should smile.<\/p>\n

\"Transgender-Day-of-Visibility\"<\/p>\n

Moving laterally into the Department of Justice, they are reportedly floating a proposal to ban transgendered folks from buying guns.<\/p>\n

The proposal, according to CNN, comes in the wake of a mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic church allegedly committed by a 23-year-old trans woman, which has fueled conspiracy theories and right-wing outrage baselessly alleging trans people are predisposed to commit violence.<\/p>\n

Restricting trans people from firearms is designed \u201cto ensure that mentally ill individuals suffering from gender dysphoria are unable to obtain firearms while they are unstable and unwell,\u201d a Justice Department official told CNN.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DOJ is actively evaluating options to prevent the pattern of violence we have seen from individuals with specific mental health challenges and substance abuse disorders,\u201d a spokesperson told The Independent.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0The Independent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Think this one is a non-starter. The National Rifle Association has already come out against it, for one – you start disarming people by class and you are on a very slippery slope indeed. Prove someone is dangerous, use due process – go for it. Ban a whole class of people? Bad policy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Closing with troops being sent to cities – Posse Comitatus is the law of the land and I personally think the current deployments are bad policy. But if they are a catalyst for change, maybe it would be worth it. Ran across a good reason why they may not be that bad:<\/p>\n

Washington, D.C., activist Malik Shabazz, whose past controversial statements have included antisemitic and anti-White rhetoric, is calling on gang members and “hardcore men” to unite in opposition to the Trump administration\u2019s crackdown on crime in the nation\u2019s capital city.<\/p>\n

In an August Facebook post, Shabazz, who is an attorney and one of the leading figures resisting the Trump administration’s crackdown, called on gang members to come to a ceasefire and “see the real enemy.”<\/p>\n

“We are calling on all GANG MEMBERS and hardcore men in the community to a CEASE FIRE against each other; and to see the real enemy; and now come to the table. We are the men you can trust.<\/p>\n

Shabazz is the former chairman of the New Black Panther Party and founder of Black Lawyers for Justice, a law firm that has pledged to sue National Guard troops and officers from the Washington Metropolitan Police for “illegal activities” participating in the Trump administration\u2019s crackdown, according to local outlet ABC 7 News.<\/p>\n

Shabazz also called for Fruit of Islam (FOI), the paramilitary wing of notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam, and other controversial Black groups to be the groups that the Black community leans on for security versus National Guard coming into D.C.Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
