In any other time in the past hundred years, perhaps any other time since the founding of the US, this would be considered a scandalous violation of DoJ's neutrality and commitment to the impartial rule of law. But after the past ten months, nobody believes that DoJ has any shred of neutrality or commitment to the impartial rule of law, so it's no big deal, just another "Dog Bites Man, Sky Is Blue, President Weaponizes Law Against His Political Enemies While Immunizing His Supporters" story.

Trump and Epstein were close friends for many years, definitely as late as 2002, but had a public falling-out between 2004-2007 (it's unclear exactly when or why; the later you ask Trump, the earlier he says it was).

But here's the thing: Donald Trump was a registered Democrat from 2001-2009. Just sayin'...

the SNAP trap

The recent court decisions forcing Trump to pay for SNAP benefits have implications that I'm not sure most people recognize.

In particular his "request" that the courts tell him where to get the money.

This is actually a *major* red flag. He wants the courts to spell it out so he can use their logic to mess with other funds that h's been holding back (illegally!) and redirect money to things he wants.

So that "innocent request" is apt to become a *major* problem if the courts don't treat it like the trap it is.
