Epstein Files ..FBI withholds documents.

So, the catch is that we already *knew* Trump is listed in the files. They shared a couple flights between NY and FL, and they attended some of the same social events.

So, Musk isn't lying there. But, if that's all that's listed, then it's still a nothing burger.

Not sure what this squabble will result in. I don't think it's all an act, but I also don't think it will last.

I suspect it's all just over some policy differences. Trump isn't fiscally conservative enough for Elon's tastes, and Elon probably doesn't like the giant omnibus spending bills anymore than anyone else.

Not sure who convinced Trump this needed to be "one big beautiful bill", but I think it was a mistake. Same policies should have been a series of dozens of bills all voted on individually.

Force the legislators to take individual stands on issues, stop letting them hide in the weeds of these giant monstrosities.

NONE OF THIS MATTERS.......!

I agree ,, Trump should be saying .. OH!!!!! look at all these Beautiful little bills .. one for each issue ....


or bring back line item veto and take 2 months and go through the Big Bill and start whacking .,.

IIRC SCOTUS shot down the line item veto.

Bringing it back would be difficult.

If you're going to that much effort, might be better to pass an ammendment that outlaws multi-issue bills altogether.

Theater, probably. Motive, I dunno.

We can't trust a single statement, person or bill that comes out of DC but yet we still allow them to remain in power. Does anyone else see an issue with that?
