Tertulia Memes, 7-24-2025

 























La historia del ciego que conmovió al mundo entero, un día se encontraba en las calles tocando su guitarra, y nadie le prestaba atención a sus hermosas canciones y dulce melodía de su guitarra, hasta que un publicista paso y observo el cartel que tenia este hombre ciego el cual pedía dinero para subsistir llevar el pan a su familia, pregunto al ciego.

- ¿Amigo cuanto dinero llevas el día de hoy?

- El ciego respondió y dijo: la verdad nada hijo no he oído mi baso sonar en todo el día pero confió en Dios que me ayudara.
- El publicista le pregunto si el podía escribir algo nuevo en su cartel que decía "ayuda a este pobre ciego", el hombre ciego le dijo sorprendido, claro hazlo.

- El publicista escribió algo y se fue.

Pasaron solo unos minutos y la gente comenzó sorprendentemente a echar dinero en su vaso donde recolectaba el dinero, y no solo monedas si no billetes, este hombre ciego estaba muy feliz, por fin llevaría alimento a casa, pero estaba confundido y no sabía lo que ocurría.

Al cabo de unas horas el publicista regresó y le pregunto al hombre ciego como había estado su día, estoy muy feliz, dijo sonriente; nunca había sucedido conmigo algo así, ¿Qué escribiste en el cartel?, el publicista le dijo, escribí en el cartel, "QUE HERMOSO DIA, COMO ME ENCANTARIA VERLO".

Hoy DIOS, nos ha dado la oportunidad de tener un hermoso día y verlo, y somos malagradecidos con él, hoy meditemos en nuestros caminos y demos gracias a Dios por todas las cosas, muchos desean ver el día no pueden🥹

Epstein, Trump And Occam's Razor

 image.png


Dear F and Jimbo,

Can you propose any clearer or more simplifying edits to my Meme text.

(Please read the AI Overview at the bottom of this email.)


MEME TEXT:

If No Mention Of Trump Appears In The Epstein Files,
Then He Would Be Completely Exonerated If He Published Them In Full.
If Complete Transparency (Which Is MAGA World's Ardent Aim)
Demonstrates That Trump Is Above Suspicion,
Any Hint Of Culpability Would Disappear.
On The Other Hand, Trump REFUSES To Publish The Entire Archive --
A Refusal That Contradicts Reason, And Flies Directly In The Face Of His Base.
Why Would The President Not Want To Clear His Name?

*****

AI Overview in response to the question, "Who assembled the Epstein Files?"

AI Overview
The "Epstein files" refer to a collection of documents, videos, and investigative materials gathered by federal and state authorities pertaining to the investigations and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates
. These files include court records, flight logs, witness testimonies, contact lists, and evidence related to his activities and associations with high-profile individuals. 
The information within these files has been compiled over several years through multiple investigations and legal proceedings involving Epstein and his associates, notably Ghislaine Maxwell. This involves the work of federal authorities like the FBI and the Department of Justice as well as state and local law enforcement in Palm Beach, Florida and New York City, according to PolitiFact. Victims' testimonies and civil lawsuits have also contributed significantly to the body of information that makes up the Epstein files. 
While many court documents have been made public, others remain sealed or redacted. In February 2025, the Department of Justice and the FBI formally declassified and released a portion of these files, many of which had been previously leaked, according to The Economic Times. Attorney General Pamela Bondi stated that the FBI is still reviewing tens of thousands of documents, and further releases are pending necessary redactions to protect victims and ongoing investigations. 
It is important to note that President Trump's claim that the files were "made up" by James Comey, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden is inaccurate, according to PolitiFact. The FBI's investigations occurred during the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, and Comey was not involved in those investigations. 
In essence, the Epstein files are a collective effort by various law enforcement agencies, judicial proceedings, and individuals involved in the Epstein case to document and uncover the extent of his criminal activities and his network of associates.

I Had A Dream: How To Oust Trump

 

I had a dream last night.
In my dream, I found myself in a large, posh “celebration space” with sit-down dinner tables appointed with proper linens, and an open bar.
Trump was in attendance, and it suddenly occurred to me that if I started chanting, “No Kings. No Fascists. No Cruelty,” at least a few others “sympathizers” would join in.
Then, when video footage of this protest found its way to "the news,” people all over America -- whenever Trump would appear in public -- giving a speech, conducting a rally attending a ball game or a gala dinner - protesters would turn out and chant: “No Kings! No Fascists! No Cruelty!”
Protesters could convert these events into festive occasions, dressing up as the Statue of Liberty, or Uncle Sam, or WWII soldiers fighting Hitler — just as they did at the first "No Kings" national protest last month — carrying signs and singing songs.

Stephen Stills, "For What Its Worth": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp5JCrSXkJY
If these political protests become habitual, it will piss Trump off big time, and he will do his damnedest to deploy his cadre of ever-ready goons to slam protesters into silence.
But the more His Malignancy feels obliged to shut these protests down, the more he will reveal himself (and his brownshirts) as repressive fascist thugs who refuse to allow freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.
No Kings!
No Fascists!
No Cruelty!

*****

I am increasingly convinced that we need to respect "freedom of assembly" (a section of The First Amendment) without anything remotely akin to designated "protest zones") with the same wide-spectrum that 2nd Amendment advocates have carved out for gun ownership and gun-carrying "wherever."

Designated Protest Areas (Wikipedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_speech_zone#

People should be able to assemble -- anytime, anywhere!

And as long as assembled people are peaceful, there is NO proper role for preventive intervention by government authorities. (In this regard, liberals have sold their "constitutional birthright" for a "mess of pottage." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mess_of_pottage )

Think about it.

And tell a friend!

PS "Pravda vítězí" is a Czech phrase that translates to "truth prevails" or "truth wins" in English. It is the national motto of the Czech Republic.

The bedrock importance of "victorious Truth" (essentially, Gandhi's Satyagraha)- and the correlative need to "take a beating without being violent in return -- are core truths we need to embody now more than ever. We need to let the sacrifice of our "accepted suffering" serve as condemnation for our increasingly "police state" oppressors.
