    Epstein! Epstein! Epstein! These people are obsessed by the fact that the President is a pedophile who rapes children. Can’t we get back to the business of kidnapping and murdering innocent people?

      I bet everyone is looking to Miller for talking points and he just tells Don to go on Fox and say, “hey, I fuck kids. Lots of them. But only white kids.”

    Well, duh, we have politicians actively defending pedophiles out in plain sight, and they’re doubling down to make matters worse.

      For sure. It is clear that none in the Republican top likes each other, and they all loathe Trump and hate having to kiss his ass all the time. But they can’t make a move as long as he has the Republican voterbase in his pocket.

      For a short while it did seriously look like it caused a dent between Trump and his voters, but now it seems like they have already moved on, when they found out that the Epstein case didn’t so much implicate Democrats as it did Trump.

      I know people think the bad shit ends with the One Big Beautiful Obituary. But JD’s handlers are competent people. And he’s such a jellyfish that he might as well be an actual sock puppet.

        The bad shit doesn’t end, but it does get upended. They’ve built the whole thing up around Trump. He will not be easy to replace while maintaining the support of the cultists. Vance doesn’t even remotely have what it takes to be a cult leader. The question is, will the cultists’ support be needed at that point?

        He can’t direct the masses like Trump, though. They lose the magahats if Vance had to take over. Though, they’ve likely already lost a lot of them.
