Trump teen rape accuser abruptly calls off news conference
LOS ANGELES — A woman who has filed federal lawsuits accusing Donald Trump of raping her two decades ago, when she was 13, abruptly canceled a news conference Wednesday at which she was to detail her extraordinary claims against the GOP presidential nominee.
In the most recent suit, Trump’s accuser asserts that while she was exploring a modeling career in 1994, she attended a series of parties at the Manhattan home of prominent investor Jeffrey Epstein. She alleges that during those parties the real estate mogul tied her to a bed and raped her.
Going public with a rape accusation against the sitting president of the US has got to take a massive amount of nerve. If it were to resurface now (yes, I know that's an article from his first term), it would take even more given how he's surrounded himself with toadies who are clearly willing to take any action he wants against a perceived enemy.
Route 93 and 495 are very dangerous highways. I live off 495 and travel 93 several times a week. I'm not really sure why they are so dangerous. They are straight and fairly well maintained and the most dangerous sections are not really the most populated or congested, but traffic can come to a stop pretty quick when jams happen. And it really is a highly dense populated area in general. I think it's just that people who travel along the dangerous sections get lulled into going too fast or not paying attention.
And before I forget entirely, let us observe the fifth anniversary of Dumbkirk, that glorious day in 2020 when the Lord God Poseidon sank those MAGAt boats on that lake in Texas.
In observance of sociopathic alcoholic sex pest p.o.s. Rudy 9iu1ian1's motor vehicle crash, here is a Great Moment in Roodles History from the 2024 Republican National Convention.
In the post (which you can read if you click on the link) he seems to be backtracking on what's happening at the CDC and RFK Jr's anti-vax crusade . . . there were some others, as well, including one sounding off about India . . . someone's behind the curtain . . .
But that's the problem: we know he's NOT writing this shit . . . so is it legit? . . . or is somebody just making shit up to placate the masses? . . . is Trump still actually dictating ANY policy?
I'm not even gonna speculate on the obvious questions . . . because at this point, I'm getting the feeling they're already moving on without him 💀 . . .

Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump.
Like this doesn’t even almost sound like a Trump tweet
Bill Johnson @Bill43111
How to tell Trump didn’t write a tweet?
Big words. Today the word is “extraordinary.” Yesterday it was “discredited.”
Now do a X search of … Stephen Miller extraordinary … and see how often he uses “extraordinary” about people or things. Here is one example:
Stephen Miller on deportations and control of the military: "These are extraordinary powers that belong to the President and the President alone."
We live just a few miles from the Walter Reuther UAW complex. It's an amazing thing. Reuther thought union folks should be able to afford a holiday, a vacation up by a lake, where they could play and fish and golf, and take educational courses, and eat good meals, etc. To this day, you can't park a non-American made car in their official parking lot! ...
As far as I know most foreign labeled cars made in America are from non-union factories. That's why they are located in Southeast states. So it is a pro-union move.
Pretty much. It is in Michigan, after all. I have to drive Mrs. Toomush's Ford F-150, if I want to park in the lot. Otherwise my RAV4 has to park farther away from the golf course!...
Trump Is Wiping Out Unions. Why Are They So Quiet?
Based on actions Mr. Trump has taken this year — and without any notable public pushback from supposedly pro-labor Republicans like Josh Hawley and Marco Rubio — it is unlikely that there will be any unionized federal workers outside of policing agencies by the end of his term in 2029.
It's a fine article, and makes great points. It's also the first time I've clicked on a NYT article in probably six months, because The Times is so fascist-forward that I loathe and detest them.
My Union (SEIU-1199) just elected new leadership, about which we know next to nothing. On the one hand, I'm retiring in June of 2026 so what they do or don't won't change my life. OTOH, most of our workforce is POC, especially women of color, who work shitty jobs in hospitals, nursing homes, and home care. Before they had Union representation, their low wages would be stolen by the agencies responsible for hiring them. I shudder to think.
Man, I just dreamed I was going to get a horse and it was awesome. The horse I was riding was a very good horse. I was going to ride mine to and from work everyday. It was going to be so wonderful. I have always wanted a horse!
When I was a kid I begged and begged for a horse. I was seriously horse crazy. All my drawings were horses and I read every horse book I could find. Never got one but I still love horses.
I took riding lessons at the Shamrock Ranch a lifetime ago. I always wanted a horse, too. I kinda got my wish, years later. I was provided company housing at the best job ever, and part of my duties included feeding the boss's horses and mucking the stalls. OK, I was cured of my horse fantasy right quick!
Sad. It’ll probably be subdivided. That’s a couple hundred acres! We used to go there at lunch and after school for treats when they had the Sun Valley Dairy store there. We had a well-worn path that went under the fence of Linda Mar Elementary.

The biggest surprise was the claim of back injury. As if he has a spine.
Aw.
*mother-of-all-eyerolls*
An acquaintance refers to drunk as banged up, so, yeah always.
But this was a special episode of 'banged up.' Fractured vertebrae contusions and bruises and injuries oh my.
He didn't feel a thing.
This morning I read that he was in "good spirits." They didn't say what kind of spirits, but gin may have been one.

Way harsh!
i think that's a parable, or possibly an allegory.

Miller knows that he's toast if anything happen to Trump.
(I'll bet he's super unpopular.)
Asshole apparently demanded Modi nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Modi told him to fuck off with that shit.
Well Steve does have his hand up tumps ass…….
Shadow president.
What we do in the shadows President
A rather large shadow at that.
that looks, ironically, like a light bulb!...

How do they know what an American-made car is anymore? Are they still basing that on brand names?
As far as I know most foreign labeled cars made in America are from non-union factories. That's why they are located in Southeast states. So it is a pro-union move.
By the pedestrians stuck in its grille?
Kia Tellurides are made in Georgia. I think the have more American parts than a Ford.
According to cars.com, the Telluride is behind the Bronco, Explorer, F-150, and F-150 Lightning.
Even the name.
It cost 10 grand more than a comparable car that isn't 'American-made'. Unless you've got an employee discount.
Pretty much. It is in Michigan, after all. I have to drive Mrs. Toomush's Ford F-150, if I want to park in the lot. Otherwise my RAV4 has to park farther away from the golf course!...
Since they didn't like the BLS numbers, they just made up some of their own to throw out there. Hope you like them.

Right, and all the tchotchkes in the Oval Office are genuine solid gold.
Like... literally anyone can see that gas prices aren't record low... how does anyone accept this bullshit?
Drugs prices down 1500-900%
It's almost like you can't trust a 34 count business felon convict.
Almost.
Unemployment is down 1500%.
They can't even lie competently.
Erik Loomis has an essay in the NYT today:

Unions should be screaming at the top of their lungs. Whar they?...
Going through the courts.
Why not both?...
If a union screams and no media covers it, does it actually happen?
Man, I just dreamed I was going to get a horse and it was awesome. The horse I was riding was a very good horse. I was going to ride mine to and from work everyday. It was going to be so wonderful. I have always wanted a horse!
A caution: it's hard getting all those little bits of hay out of the computer keyboard.
I had a dream the other night that I woke up and walked past a room of my in-laws and friends, naked on my way to the bathroom. Fuck 'em....
You want a bicycle that makes bad decisions?
And eats? and poops? A lot?
I want one with a basket, a bell that rings and things to make it look good.
Well, a cute one, that is!
I had a dream a while back that I had a horse and rode it to work!
When I was a kid I begged and begged for a horse. I was seriously horse crazy. All my drawings were horses and I read every horse book I could find. Never got one but I still love horses.
I took riding lessons at the Shamrock Ranch a lifetime ago. I always wanted a horse, too. I kinda got my wish, years later. I was provided company housing at the best job ever, and part of my duties included feeding the boss's horses and mucking the stalls. OK, I was cured of my horse fantasy right quick!
You will be very sad to hear that Shamrock Ranch is up for sale. They still have horsed but not for long.
Sad. It’ll probably be subdivided. That’s a couple hundred acres! We used to go there at lunch and after school for treats when they had the Sun Valley Dairy store there. We had a well-worn path that went under the fence of Linda Mar Elementary.
I was the same way about dogs.
Now I have three rescues.
Only Mr. Demme and his allergies are stopping me from having more.
(My girls say I really want a "dog farm" with lots and lots of them.)
I would have been a horsey girl if I could have been. I don't even believe in riding them.
Some horses love to give rides. Others, not so much...
