Had a buddy i met at a bar that was a translator for the us in Afghanistan. They offered him a green card to fight and translate for us. Dude thought i was CIA for the very minimal knowledge i had on the war. Dude admitted poppy sales were a wash for and against the taliban. We went into that war knowing jack shit and left it a fucking mess. As is tradition.

Trump administration sues to stop California from redistricting to give Democrats more House seats
https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/politics/california-trump-redistricting-lawsuit

DOJ said:

They argued that the redistricting plan was sold to voters as a purely partisan effort, when in fact “the focus was not partisanship, but race,” which they say would be impermissible under the US Constitution.

“Our Constitution does not tolerate this racial gerrymander,” the Justice Department lawyers wrote in court papers. “Because the Proposition 50 map does, the United States respectfully requests that this court enjoin defendants from using it in the 2026 election and future elections.”

Record number of subprime borrowers miss car loan payments in October, data shows
https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/record-number-subprime-borrowers-miss-car-loan-payments-october-data-shows-2025-11-12/

Subprime auto loan delinquencies, where borrowers have gone at least 60 days without making a payment, rose to 6.65% in October, up from 6.50% in September and 6.23% a year earlier, according to Fitch Ratings data.

For prime borrowers, those with stronger credit histories, the rate held steady at 0.37%, unchanged from both the previous month and a year ago, indicating they remain largely shielded from the financial strain affecting lower-income consumers.

What a journey

g_f

Welcome to the resistance.

Jk, g_f

President Trump made a late reversal declaring his support for releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files as the House appears set to approve their release this week.

Trump announced his shift in a post on Truth Social on Sunday night after months of opposition, saying “House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide.”

The stark reversal comes days after the White House pushed to block a move by a handful of Republicans to force the vote and as the writing appeared on the wall that the measure would pass the House.

You know the files are altered at this point.

Ctrl+F "Trump"
Ctrl+R "Hillary"

boom
altered

arent all the salient files hung up in investigation?

They are now since pedocheeto reopened investigations to hide the ones that even remotely implicate him

No, he directed the DOJ to open cases into Democrats
Nothing to do with him or pedo Republicans
Not exactly a big brain fakeout move

So the DOJ just ties up all the files that implicates Trump as well and claim they're part of the democrat witch hunt. EZPZ

On the one hand, i feel like 'the law' supersedes DOJ policy
On the other hand, i feel like the point is going to end up as a lawsuit

Saudi Arabia said:

“Neither the President nor his family have ever engaged, or will ever engage, in conflicts of interest,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt previously told CNN.

Well, now that we've put that to bed

The House voted 427 to 1 in favor of releasing the Epstein Files.

The single nay came from Republican Clay Higgins.

that alone is way past enough for me to not have faith that anything will come of it

I loved how MBS looked in the Oval Office when the pedophile president who loves pedophiles had to answer questions over Epstein. He was so bored.

You could clearly see him think : "Guys, come on! What the fuck? Why are you all so obsessed with banging little girls? Seriously, play another tune, guys. Come to Riyadh, we have so many little girls, we keep them in cages! You should see my basement. And no, that does not go over well with all the missuses Ben Salman! Women, right? Be cool guys. Jeez... It always comes down to two things with you guys. Obsession over fucking little girls ...or boys. I don't give a fuck. That or talk about how easy journalist are to take apart. Play something from your new album. Fuck!THE PEOPLE WANT TO LIKE YOU!"

The U.S. public health agency's website was changed to say, "The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism' is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism."

It added that health authorities have "ignored" studies supporting the link between the two.

An agency spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin, also denied in a post to social media on Friday that the Coast Guard was “backtracking” by issuing the latest memo.

“The 2025 policy is not changing—USCG issued a lawful order that doubles down on our *current* policies prohibiting the display, distribution or use of hate symbols by Coast Guard personnel,” she said.
