This just in: Roy Black's family says his death is not related to the Epstein scandal

Uh, no. If Maxwell is offered a pardon in exchange for lying to get Trump off the hook, that would only make things worse for Trump and end up with Maxwell being charged with perjury and obstructing justice. It's likely that there is at least one more set of grand jury minutes and investigation files out there (grand jury transcripts being the property of the stenographer and a copy of the file is in the federal prosecutor's office, trust me).

This is not a TV reality show. Her lawyers won't allow her to say anything, especially when her case is currently under appeal. She will probably take the fifth, if she has any common sense. Trump is probably terrified that a copy of that stuff is going to end up at the NY Times.

Can anybody listen to that salacious drooling rant, or read it (scrub with carbolic afterwards, is my advice) and doubt they are listening to one of the lewdest sexual creeps anywhere, with all his discretion and filters (any he ever possessed) gone to malfunction and decay?

If Tulsi Gabbard had a shred of self-respect she'd have screamed, "I quit! Nobody but a total whore could ever work for you!" and stormed out.

Tulsi is Putin's Girlfriend, as well as Assad's. She has never displayed anything remotely resembling self-respect.

Everything is so CIRCULAR with these fuckers. Reading a new WSJ article on EpsteinGate: basically Trump's DOJ says nothing to see here. The reason, there is no "list of clients". OK, fair enough.

But also- they say the files are chock full of child pornography. We assume it is adults fucking minors. WHICH IS A CRIME.

Despite all the video and photo EVIDENCE, there is "no evidence that would lead to an investigation of uncharged third parties".

But you have photos and videos...

Remember Prince Andrew?

In most if not all the cases against Epstein, they are time barred under the statute of limitations by now. And this also can apply in the case of many civil actions. As such, many of the contents of the files could have been destroyed, especially if they're more than 10 years old.

As for the Russia stuff, Trump's congressional investigation, bipartisan, concluded that Russia did try to interfere in the 2016 election. Not Obama, not Biden.

"and Obama “started it and Biden was there with him and Comey was there”

"But it wasn't a dream. It was a place. And you, and you, and you, and you were there! But you couldn't have been, could you?".

I presume that in this version of the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy passed out from all the fumes from the gold spray paint Aunty Em used to update her room?

And that Dorothy shows up and starts to deport the munchkins after killing the open borders Wicked Witch of the East (Hillary Clinton) but is then harassed by the Wicked Witch of Antifa (Kamala Harris)?

Who was president in 2019? Donald Trump. Not Joe Biden, not Barack Obama. No evidence that Obama tried to sabotage Trump in 2016. Biden and Obama were both leaving office,

Trump fired Comey in 2017. So wtf is Trump talking about except his most recent delusions?

HuffPost: "White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt scolded media outlets for covering the Russia investigation, demanding that some of them lose their Pulitzer Prizes.

"Reporters at legacy outlets, some of which are sitting in this room today, like the New York Times and the Washington Post, were ridiculously awarded Pulitzer Prizes for their perpetuation of this hoax," she said. "It's well past time for those awards to be stripped from the journalists who received them."

Her remarks were tied to claims by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that former President Barack Obama "weaponized intelligence agencies" to carry out a "years-long witch hunt against President Trump and his first administration.""

What exactly is the “hoax” Special K is referring to now? That Russia interfered in the 2016 election? Are we really dusting that old tale off again?

Marco Rubio has to be the most uncomfortable SOB in MAGA world right now, after Trump. Rubio’s committee found that Russia did, in fact, attempt to interfere in favor of Trump. Obama had a duty as potus at the time of the election to recognize it, see that it be investigated, and tighten national security and election integrity apparatus. Obama even stated publicly that his election and cyber security teams were well aware of Russia’s efforts, but that he had to be discrete so as not to unfairly influence the election. He had integrity and respect for the process. It’s Trump who is a wholesale con artist who blames everyone for his own criminal behavior. But Rubio is now in the sticky position of having to answer questions about his own conclusions. The bottom line is, this is all so utterly absurd, pathetic and desperate. But it’s also extremely dangerous too. Because there is probably no limit to the harm Trump is willing to cause if it distracts from his own demise. This will only get worse as his loyalists sink deeper into the lies and deception in service of one man. They aren’t serving America’s citizens, merely protecting one deeply flawed man’s ego and image. That’s a dangerous situation.

Tulsi is "hot" only if you look at her for less that 1000 milliseconds. More than that and she will make your dick shrivel up.

I don't know if the words "Trump" and "spread" should appear in the same sub-headline.

Trump Spread, the new, affordable, animal fat-based food product that will replace all those “healthy” woke foods like vegetables, while helping American farmers to make up lost subsidies by slaughtering their livestock. Vegetables cost too much to grow and pick without migrant labor, which is now illegal. Plus, health czar RFK Jr., says healthy foods like vegetables are probably more dangerous than heroin, and carrots are linked to autism in rabbits.

Trump Spread will be required to be sold as a national, state-mandated foodstuff. Any stores refusing to carry it will be fined or sued. No health information will be carried on the label. Only a photo of Trump surrounded by happy children enjoying Trump Spread on white (only) bread.

I'm surprised they haven't taken a page from the libertarian sex pest handbook: Quibbling over the definition of "pedophile" and claiming that teenage girls can be "very mature for their age."

I think the GOP has learned that having a dementia-addled president is a feature, not a bug. It's a big "get-out-of-responsibility" card for everyone in the party. Tulsi Gabbard can rig up some info on Obama for Trump, and then he spits out crap about how it's total proof or some shit, and suddenly all the Republicans can run with this line for a while, with all the conservative pundits doing the same. And they can all pat themselves on the back and studiously say "it's important news because the president said it." And if it ever gets to court and their side is totally embarrassed, they can all be sure that Trump will just say the judge was biased against him and that maybe he (Trump) should fire all the judges that don't rule his way. Tulsi really only has to be worried about the other backstabbers in the administration telling Trump that she blew the case.

When this is all over too (one way or the other), you can bet that all these snakes will slither out of responsibility. Tulsi will claim she was just following a directive to turn over information. Everyone will say that Trump was calling the shots and that they were doing their best to keep the chaos from getting too bad.

All the lying, all the corruption, all the horrors...they're all laundered through Trump's demented brain, the one legally untouchable person. Right now it gives the administration carte blanche to follow Trump's dementia-addled impulses, but later on it'll be the reason why so many of cockroaches never see accountability for their blatant corruption.
