Donald Trump and the 'infinite gullibility of his disciples'

The case of Jeffrey Epstein, the dead pedophile, is the ghost of lies, deceit and hypocrisy.

Dear beloved reader, has this begun to happen to you? You gaze across the landscape of the news of the day, and what do you see?

After you pour yourself another stiff one — and it’s only 7 a.m. — does it begins to dawn on you that we are being led by Yosemite Sam meets Mr. Dithers?

Tariffs go up and they go down. Stasiesque goons are dragooning people off the streets. Government employees are getting fired for committing the unpardonable crime of doing their jobs. Trump sits in his redecorated Oval Office, resembling Larry Flynt’s man cave, scheming to collect his latest round of bribes.

And MAGA world hue and cry and quiver with angst that their idol won’t come clean and release the files relating to his once close pal and now dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

A simple, but obvious question. What did you think was going to happen?
