I call it debt because he pushed it off by promising more disclosures later. People who feel that the public deserves to know more have not gone away or been placated. They are waiting and have not forgotten.

If or when Maxwell testifies or says something it will flare up again. If she whitewashes "the powers that be" or tries to finger only Democrats, it will not make it go away.

Grand Jury transcripts are less than 1 percent of the 100,000 pages of Epstein material. People will know that and want more.

maga was promised prominent Democrats were pedophiles. The regime can't manufacture evidence against them without being found out. It is too big and there are too many eyeballs. If they can't get Democrats they will still want something. They were promised. If they are disappointed they will turn, as some already are. Their cynicism is even deeper than their hatred of libs. They have been whipped into repeated moral panic frenzies over pedophilia and now they have a real case in their teeth and ultimately they will not let go.

So, you're telling me that a possible outcome of this is that some of Trump's voters will realize the error of their ways and vote hereafter for progressive candidates? If they move away from Trump, they'll find another demagogue to follow, no doubt.

I should have said "suggesting that". I've been waiting for the foolish to see the light for so long, that I now think it's impossible for them to do so.

... which means they would give up the hatred of libs before giving up on catching pedophiles. There is a large core that will never vote for politicians the core perceives unshakeably as Marxist and commie and woke (i.e. anti-prejudice).

It does not mean they would give up hating libs, though a few on the fringes would. What I mean is that their cynicism in general and in particular about people who protect pedophiles is so deep that tRump won't be able to wash it away with fakery or sleight of hand or distraction. He made a promise to them and they take it seriously. That promise is the unfulfilled debt.

They are more likely to try to call it in if the economy hurts them, as it really might do. So tRump could collapse from a house of political debt and self-inflicted wounds. It might happen gradually and then all of a sudden.

The other thing that might penetrate deeply in maga minds is the intrusive and overbearing nature of the authoritarian government they voted for, but I have less confidence in that because it requires more cogitation.

Is a loathsome tool. Oh, and water-carrier for the right wing.

Even they know it and are this cockamamie “Durham Annex” as a way to to project and deflect.
