As to DC why can't they just hire more cops and enforce the laws on the books? Because that would distract from Epstein.

And I don't think they are thrilled with his position in re: Gaza. Trump isn't getting a Nobel prize unless he figures out how black holes work or writes a banger of a novel.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Trump forgets that he's going to Alaska to meet Putin this week. "It's embarrassing for me to be up here. I'm gonna see Putin. I'm going to Russia on Friday."

Where is the coverage of his cognitive decline?
