Because of Epstein, Americans are Finally Seeing Donald Trump

The Epstein firestorm is an aha moment. Americans are seeing Donald Trump with new eyes, and they don’t like what they see.

For all his talk about making American great again, people are noticing that he has instead pulled us all down into his sewer of lust, power, ego, betrayal, greed, pettiness, and cruelty. Looking with new eyes, Americans are telling pollsters they don’t like what they see.

This buyer’s remorse has been building for a while, but the Epstein misery has ripped the gold curtain away — and Americans now see the little man hiding behind it. When questioned about his policies — whether that’s immigration or economic leadership Americans now see a president making decisions we do not like. His approval rating is now just 37 percent.

His team says he can do anything he wants; that he embodies America. They are wrong. We are better than that. We will crawl out of his sewer and rebuild our democracy.

Seems like all of his demented cult members dismiss his monstrous outrages with a wave of their hands, and insist that “He’s doin’ good things fer the country!”

They're blaming everyone but tRump and they're convinced that if tRump had done anything wrong then Democrats would have exposed it, not realizing that Democrats were focused on other things and the doj was covering for trump.

He's REALLY talking about the fact that American and international banks covered for Epstein for over 30 years. They took his many, MANY wire transfers for all that time when they should have been reporting his suspicious activities.

Meanwhile Epstein got obscenely wealthy making transactions on behalf of wealthy men. Supposedly Epstein bought and sold works of art, and made other investments for the sole purpose of tax avoidance, and the bank transactions into Russia are especially skeevy because they couldn't be traced.

The western banks - JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, BNY Mellon, and Deutsche Bank - finally did file SARs - Suspicious Activity Reports - for Epstein's activities, but it wasn't until after he was arrested in 2019. This has been the thrust of Senator Ron Wyden who is trying to get these bank SAR records for the Senate Banking Committee to review and hold a hearing.

It's possible that the wire transfer records may have nothing to do with Epstein trafficking young women.... But how will we know if the records are never made available?

What the fuck takes other people so long?

I'm tired of sharing this planet with shit-flinging apes.

I want to live on a smarter planet. I'm convinced I originally came from one. It's somewhere out there. My home. My intelligence wellspring. My Strange Wine.
