I assume we all are familiar with the Sherlock Holmes case solved by "the dog that did not bark." Sherlock wondered why the dog did not bark when and intruder committed a crime -- elementary, my Dear Watson -- because the intruder was the dog's owner, thus, the dog did not bark at the person he knew.
Tonight two dogs did not bark at information that is pouring out, little by little tying Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein and little girls. And why are these dogs not barking? You decide.
The first dog that is not barking, as pointed out by Lawrence O'Donnell, is JD Vance. Lawrence reminded us that Gerald Ford sat silent as Nixon's crimes caught up with him because Ford knew he would be next in the Oval Office -- soon. JD is standing strangely silent as the Epstein files come pouring out of Congress.
The second dog that is not barking is Trump himself. Tonight as more and more Epstein emails are being released, Trump signed the bill ending the government shutdown. We would expect Trump to sign the bill then rave on and one about the great victory over the Democrats. Trump signed the bill, stood up, and left the room, ignoring the press.
Two dogs did not bark tonight -- because both of them know the truth -- and that truth will sink Trump.

Under Norman circumstances, there would be a criminal investigation. What Republicans will vote for that and risk a primary?

(and, some of them are getting pretty pissed off at him as well,
for abandoning 'America First'! )
'Independents'--- who now number nearly as many as the two major parties COMBINED,
according to polling--- now also give him negative numbers by a clear majority!
No point in trying to convert MAGATs---
just get more of the rest of us to VOTE!---
and DRUMPH is clearly motivating us,
and the mid-term wind is at our backs, this time!
