On the National Mall this morning, a new satirical statue is up celebrating Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's "friendship" in honor of National Friendship Month.
In Honor of Friendship Month
We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his "closest friend" Jeffery Epstein.
Voice Over: There Must Be More To Life Than Having Everything.
TRUMP: Yes. There is. but I won't tell you what it is. EPSTEIN: Nor will I, since I also know what it is. TRUMP: We have certain things in common, Jeffery. EPSTEIN: Yes, we do, come to think of it. TRUMP: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday -- and may every day be another wonderful secret. EPSTEIN: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you.

@Dave Wise I'm not saying it's not important. It's just that gerrymandering isn't exactly unheard of in this country, whereas, in my limited experience, six states sending their National Guard to DC to defend against an imaginary crime wave, as a pretext for establishing a police state seems "new" as do the endorsement of kidnappings by unidentified thugs in masks by a convicted felon living in the White House.
The US Secretary of Defense is authorizing DOD civilian employees at any grade level to take a temporary, paid "voluntary force" assignment with DHS and ICE. The temporary roles would help to arrest, detain, and deport people. The posting is open for a year:
In case not clear: this is a green light for a domestic immigration control agency to expand its workforce by removing employees from a global military agency. This is NOT how Congress allocates budget for agencies, workforce, salaries, and activities, as provided in the US Constitution, Article I.
