The BBC are probably just using their American press colleagues at NBC’s report. I don’t see it as being dim-witted at all. The term alien has been used to describe people for decades, if that’s what you’re getting at.

“On 15 March, he was deported amid an immigration crackdown by the Trump administration, after Trump invoked the [b]Alien Enemies Act[/b], a wartime law that allows presidents to detain or deport the natives and citizens of an enemy country.”

The question has to be asked why did Musk promote & support Trump when Trump`s policies on Climate Change and EV`s were polar opposite to Musk`s business enterprises 🤔

There is some serious irony in the term, "Conflict of Interests".

How was this ever going to play out other than how it has 😳

Completely off topic but why do people in the USA pronounce "corp" as "core"?

Because it’s of French origin.
The P and S are silent
It’s from corpse meaning body of course but was written as KOR in old French.

Has just sued Rupert Murdoch and the Wall St Journal for accusing him of sending a “bawdy letter to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 for his 50th which he claims is “fake news” -

the amount sued for? $10bn……yes TEN BILLION DOLLARS!

Surely the contents of the letter and Epstein files are now fully made available for the world to see? Nothing for Trump to hide I’d imagine?

The man ran a beauty contest for children and Jeffrey Epstein was his best mate for decades, why would he have anything to hide?

It’ll be redacted reports from the files. Anything with Trump’s name will not be shown.

MAGA is finally figuring out what TDS actually is, and this is the excuse that they need to abandon him without losing face: they can say that they no longer support him because of the Epstein files, instead of having to admit they`ve been lied to and gaslit the whole time.

A lot of them have invested a huge amount in the Cult of Trump. Not just financially, but psychologically and in terms of broken personal and family relationships, so it takes something massive for them to admit that they were mistaken to put such a huge amount of energy into something so deeply flawed.

I don`t think that`ll work this time. He`s blocked himself into a corner if there`s anything in there relating to him I suspect.

$10Bn is a wild claim to make.

Nothing is going to come of this. Some maga types may feel let down but the majority are just going to ignore it or choose to now instead believe Trump when he ridiculously says this is a Democrat hoax.
CBS this week cancelled The Tonight Show with Stephen Colbert even though it still has high ratings. Colbert and late night news shows in general are critical of Trump. The President has already purred his pleasure at Colberts effective sacking. CBS is part of Paramount which is currently in the process of a mega merger with another entertainment conglomerate. Federal approval is of course required.
Trump abuses his power like no president ever but that`s what is anyone going to do about it? Nothing because there is nothing that can be done.
He`s now suing Rupert Murdoch and News Corp for $10 billion. You wouldn`t be surprised if , in short order, News Corp bend the knee, beg forgiveness and make substantial financial compensation to Trump.

And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

The release of the files would implicate some high fliers, so probably won`t happen!

Yeah, you can modernise buildings that aren`t safe, you can supply PPE that isn`t safe, you can supply weapons to a maniac!

He`s surely going to drop the suit?

I get that he would absolutely look guilty of he did that, but not as guilty as he`d look being questioned under oath about many of the things he`s on record as saying.

He`d definitely lose the suit, so his only real options now are to either pressure/blackmail/threaten Murdoch into capitulating outside court, or to drop it himself.

There is a John Oliver segment about how he has multiple media lawsuits that are pretty much always settled as he leverages his influence on the media’s licenses and / or blocking mergers. Highest rated chat show in America was cancelled this week for that very reason.

If you look up “John Oliver Trump & the Press” and the 20 minute YouTube piece comes up.
Just another grift that Americans served upon themselves

It`s worth remembering that Trump was involved in the Epstein coverup from the beginning when he gave a cabinet position to Alexander Acosta in 2017.

Acosta is the man who, as United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, had approved the most generous plea-deal in US history which let Epstien plead guilty to two relatively minor charges and receive a sentence of six months (although he was allowed out during the day and only spent his evenings in prison.)

It has been shown that during this time Epstien continued to fly young women to meet him in his office, where he would pay them for sex.

Trump is up to his neck in this. He`s is a dirty Saville-esque scumbag who should be locked up.

EDIT: forgot the part where the plea deal has a clause which sought to prevent the courts from prosecuting Epstien`s "co-conspirators."

Nothing to see here so we`ll just shut down the congressional chamber until September.

There`s golf to be played I suppose.
