I didn’t notice it was on that board.

With all due respect I don’t think any of this has to do with the Epstein files, for the simple reason that in his mind, he is untouchable. I think if those files are even on his list of priorities, they are dead last. He assumes he is safe, that nothing can touch him. He couldn’t care less.

Iran and before that Venezuela (and his insane Greenland rankings) are part of his narcissistic, sociopathic view of HIS world. He actually thinks this will be his legacy. He wants to in his mind repair.all that has gone before him, bring about a new world order.

He would be doing the same insane and dangerous s*** if those files had never been released.

Hello all!

If you are someone that keeps track of addresses on AQ for postals and would like an updated address, please send me an AQ mail requesting my new address!

Very good point.

He doesn't care about anything but that darn Ball Room. I was just noticing that I haven't heard much on the Epstein Files as there is more important things going on with the orange muppet.

He does have a history of distracting people when he doesn't like something that effects him.

I did the same thing at first!

News cycles rapidly also. It only lasts until the next big one comes along. Ukraine isn’t the War of the Week anymore.

It’s sad really. The horrendous events still affecting lives gets cycled out while they are still living it. The news media moves to the next one.

Ooh I love this idea! Thank you!

Yes that hike connection from one box to the next is the best part I think too. Thank you for chiming in!

Rearranging and rewriting sounds like a great way circumvent some of the issues with missing boxes in a series. Thank you for that idea!

Then why has he fought their release so hard? After initially fighting the release of the files for months and calling it a "Democrat Hoax," Trump, under pressure, reversed his position and signed the bipartisan "Epstein Files Transparency Act" into law in November 2025, ordering the release of the files.

Yet, despite the law, lawmakers and advocates have accused the Trump-led DOJ of dragging its feet, failing to meet deadlines, and making "illegal redactions". And he continues to call it a witch-hunt.

Current reports indicate that the DOJ has failed to produce all records, particularly those mentioning President Trump, including FBI interview records (302 forms) related to a sexual assault accusation from 2019.

Trump very much cares about the files. Maybe he thinks he's free from prosecution, but I doubt he wants it out that he slept with under-age women.

Trump is a master of creating alternate drama to distract from his malfeasance.

Raped children.

There, I fixed it for you.

Here they go again. They talk the talk but no one ever goes beyond yadda yadda yadda.

I’m sick of the posturing that never gets followed up with any action.

If Ron Johnson is the only Republican currently serving in Congress who has issued even a faint whiff of disapproval, nothing will happen.

I’m not a fan of the Democratic leadership, either, but their hands are tied without bipartisan support. The Republicans who want to stay in office (except maybe Thomas Massie) are terrified of Trump and won’t do a danged thing to try to reassert Congressional power.

The lack of integrity and care for our country by most of our elected leaders makes me sick.

Will I attempt? Yes
Will I succeed? It turns out the answer is also Yes.

Why isn't it being called the Trump War?

You're right, of course. I was trying to cosset the sensibilities of the boards. Although, in retrospect, I suppose his transgressions should not be white-washed - under any circumstances.

I have also done something similar as RIClimber. As boxes go missing in the series, I retire it and rewrite the clue without that box's clue. So if it's a series of 5 and box 4 goes missing, I write the clue from box 3 to box 5. Some parts of box 4 clues would remain the same, but parts of it would be deleted.

Home Depot doesn't make tacky, gold spray painted, TRUMP WAR signs.

I can stop by there tomorrow to see if I can retrieve the box. Who is the owner of the box? Haven’t check the listing yet.

I'm sorry if it sounded like I was "calling you out" on it, that was not the intent.


A year or so ago, I would have done (and often did) the exact same thing, here and elsewhere.

But the fact that NOTHING seems to MATTER to those that support the pedophile, the rapist, the narcissist, the fascist, the warmonger... "going high" turns out to be the wrong tactic.

I didn't take it that way - we're all good. 👍

It's a point well taken.

I've been calling it the Trump War right along.

Curiosity kicking in...
This sounds fun and interesting. I love trying new (or lost) things, especially if it's something that is becoming extinct (for a lack of a better word). How can we get in on the mystery? 😃❤️

I’m in favor of calling this the Trump War. After all, he has already done the following rebranding:

• Added his face next to Washington’s on the annual National Parks pass
• Added his signature to paper currency, starting in June
• Declared Flag Day/his birthday as a national holiday
• Added his name to the Kennedy Center (named for a fallen president)
• Added his name to the United States Institute of Peace
• Added huge banners with his face to federal buildings in Washington
• Announced plans to create “Trump-class” battleships
• Created “Trump accounts” for babies
• Created Trump gold cards to let very wealthy foreigners bypass the immigration process to get green cards
• Created TrumpRx that supposedly lets people buy certain drugs at cheaper rates

I’m sure I’ve missed some examples of Trump using taxpayer dollars for rebranding in his image.

Please read to the end. Intro will be 1st, then my need for advice ❤️

I noticed that 2009 was the last entry regarding our love for cats, so I thought I'd spark it up, if possible. I KNOW there are CrazyCatLadies like us!!
We have 2 cats (Mine & Terra's. I don't think I'll ever call her cat "mine". Explanation to follow.)

Major, turning 14 this year. My brain just blanked out on the type of cat he is, so I'll just say half Maincoon (sp) and half typical brown and black stripey cat. Lol.
A little history about this old-timer. He was our son's cat then attached to Terra when our son started out on his own. Super long story short, a dog outside of our apt triggered what's called redirected aggression. He started to viciously attack our blind dog and while trying to protect the dog, he turned to me. He hooked onto my ears and rabbit kicked my face 2 separate times. He almost got my eye, pierced my upper lip all the way thru, almost detached my earlobe and so so much more. I pulled 3 claws outta me and 2 outta my dog. For TWO WEEKS he stalked us, growling and pacing, wanting to kill me or my dog, literally. Smh. Now he's just a very fat (about 22 - 25 pounds) old man that just grunts (thankfully) and adores Terra to no end. She says he's just "big boned." 🤭

Fitz-Simmoms, turning 3 this year. Was pure white when we rescued him and then slowly got his orange stripes. He's a Flame-Tip Siamese. He has full on conversations with me that are actually understandable by the tone, length and volume of his mews. He loves to sleep on my chest, be tucked under my arm or flopped over my lap or pillow behind me. He's VERY needy and everything I've ever dreamed in a fuzzy companion. My goodness, he's SMART!! Like, crazy smart!! I got lucky when we found the kids that worked very hard to re-home 34 motherless babies. He was so tiny, sick and had the biggest ears and longest tail I've ever seen. We imprinted the moment I picked him up. (He's currently telling me, non stop, that it's almost bfast time. Verbally relentless!)

I worry about what Fitz is going to do when Major passes. Fitz loves and relies on Major. He doesn't eat until Major has started to eat. They snuggle so much, I have dozens of pics of them canoodling ❤️ I don't know what we're gonna do when the time arrives, but I feel sick to my tummy when I think about Fitz being without Major. Have I mentioned that he's needy? Lol

Any suggestions???
Cat mom needs some advice.
I wish I could post a picture of them to show y'all. They're pretty adorable.

Any advice helps. Thank you ♥️

• Im not a Crazy Cat Lady. I prefer to call it, Lady that enthusiastically loves her cat! **

We have some grey lino that I don't use and won't use in the future. It's hard to carve unless you have sharp tools. I attempted to carve a stamp with it and almost impaled many different body parts, especially hand. It's thin and about 4x6" with a big carved out spot.

It's used, but still usable, and I'd like to give it to anyone that is interested ♥️

Lemme know!

I've never bought new gougers... It was bought in 2010. Lol. Actually, I did buy new ones but they're so dull I can't use them. The smallest gouge is my favorite, as well, and seems hard to find. I don't trust buying em online because that's how I got the very dull set. 🤔

The other day, I used a fine grain sheet of sander and slowly tried to sharpen it that way. It worked a little, so that's somewhat helpful.

I might like to see what it’s like. Been thinking about trying Lino. Let me know!

We had a similar situation. One of our cats was a nurturer, and the other was co-dependent. The nurturer had heart issues and had to be put down. The other cat, Logan, went into a funk. Poor thing couldn't be consoled.

I'm sure you can already imagine what the solution was, right?

Yep, a rescue from the shelter. Everything is right as rain again.

I hope all works out for your feline family. 🧡

This.

Pelosi said:
"Donald Trump's instability is more clear and dangerous than ever.

"If the Cabinet is not willing to invoke the 25th Amendment and restore sanity, Republicans must reconvene Congress to end this war."

But they won't because they fear challenging Trump is political suicide.
