Temper Epstein Excitement

It will literally go no where and mean nothing.
You could literally produce video of Mango Mussolini SA a child and end them, with a thousand witnesses, all willing to testify and it would literally mean nothing and go nowhere because he fully controls the Justice Department. There is literally no one to investigate and even if you go to state courts he can bury it in legal fillings for decades.
Also to be clear, not a single Republican voter will care. Republicans love child molesters. They set them free all the time. They don't care. If anything itc will make them like him more.

It's a dry hole.

This is the political party that forced a dead mother to carry her fetus against the family's wishes.

This is the political party that wanted to force a raped 10 year old to carry her rapist's fetus to term against her and her family's wishes.

This is the political party that literally is allowing women to bleed to death in emergency room parking lots rather than help them survive.

This is a political party that knew these emails existed for a decade and didn't care.

So yes, they have made it very clear who's side they are on.

It's hard to grasp what it means when
people completely lose their humanity.

I sure don't get it, but I know it's
something I don't have to get to
believe.

These files were collected by a House committee from the Epstein estate

The DOJ probably has the spookier stuff Barr whisked away from the island

the intense pressure is building on him and judging by his and his toadies actions, it must be really, really, really bad for him and some of his billionaire pedo buddies.

But for the majority of his congressional toadies, I believe that while they may fear him, he mostly serves as a useful idiot, easily manipulated via flattery and obsequiousness; and the minute he starts to circle the bowl they will cut him loose.

But most people could care less. The majority of people are greedy, selfish and cruel and don't care about any of this.

If they did, they would have never elected him in the first place.

Not this one.

Nicolle Wallace had a survivor on, a riveting interview.

Nicolle asked the survivor, how should I cover this, the survivor responded, don’t let it go away, don’t forget us.

Epstein-Gate is the only scandal that scares the hell out of Krasnov. This scandal has 4 Magats defying Krasnov, it’s a start.

When the vote is taken, I predict there will be more than 4. That’s going out on a limb.

I doubt many here view it as checkmate. That’s a made up, goofy narrative. It makes him mad, clearly shows he was involved and gets covered that’s good enough.

as preachers and youth pastors....

They really do adore them.

The more right-wing religion they profess, the more likely they are to sympathize with those who abuse young children, sexually or physically.

Correct.

There’s nothing Trump can do that will lose him his supporters.

Trump Cult members will lie and claim it’s all a ‘Democrat plot’ and ‘fake news,’ no matter how solid and compelling the truth.

Trump's not going anywhere, whatever his crimes.
