Nice bye bye note, Maureen, seriously.

This is what cult leaders do, they tell their followers that everything negative is fake, a hoax, a witch hunt, blah blah blah, and so-and-so is behind it. But it isn't working, so just as the first cracks in the cult begin to show, Trump is turning on his skeptical base, calling them stupid and then, "who needs you, anyway!"

Margaret Atwood recently pointed out that the first people Trump would turn on first would be his closest followers. She appears to be right.

I'm surprised at how few of his fan club in the halls of Congress are speaking up in his defense. I imagine it would be just too humiliating, in the wake of them all voting to take food away from poor kids and health care from 2 million people. They're obviously worried about the midterms, unless of course Dear Pervert decides to cancel them.

Calling Laura Loomer an investigative journalist is an insult to investigative journalists.

Just calling her a journalist is appalling enough.

Because firing the prosecutor known to earn the trust of victims in order to gain convictions of sex traffickers is SO the way to "fight sex trafficking."

So obvious that Trump could not care less about "fighting sex trafficking," and certainly not about its victims--unless you count him. He cares only about his own sorry ass, which has been all up in this for decades, with all those "Democrats" and "deep states" because he couldn't care less who joined him in iniquity either. He just wanted to get his piece of it.

Trump has never done a good job of even pretending to NOT be a pervert. He's lusted after teenage girls all his life, even his own daughter.

Ironic that the harder Pam Bondi fights to keep those "files" from being made public, the worse she makes Dear Pervert look.

Trump’s latest attempt to make people forget that he and Jeffrey Epstein were BFFs has involved the repeated, nonsensical claim that everything in the Epstein files — which Trumpworld was certain would send all Democrats to jail forever — was actually made up by Barack Obama, James Comey, and other Democrats to make Donald Trump look bad. As we have noted, that doesn’t make a lot of sense, not that that’s any different from any other nonsense story Trump tells.

//

It doesn’t make sense, but much like his constant assertions that “the only way I’ll lose the election will be if Democrats cheat”, I think it’s intended to prime the pump, so to speak, to give his cult a way out of seeing Trump’s name all over those files by saying “well, the Democrats just planted that information there to attack Trump.”

Is there a single sane person in Glorious Nation of US & A who can honestly say we aren't headed at near the speed of light towards an outright fascist dictatorship? Everything Donald Trump does screams "fascist dictator." It's remarkable, and it's ugly. If Donald believes in the republic, he has a strange way of showing it.

He believes very strongly in The Republic of Trump, and he believes in "one man, one vote" in the same sense as Lord Vetinari in "Discworld": He's the one man, and he gets the one vote.

Perhaps there are unexplained but obvious omissions in the evidence that the FBI has. Perhaps not all the material that SDNY collected and inventoried made it into the files held by the FBI. WHAR EVIDENCE?

If this is all a hoax, and there's no client list, Trump really should just pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. That would clear up this whole mess...

If the Epstein files are a total DEMOCRAT HOAX™, then release them and expose the Democrat's bullshit, right? Prove that the Democrats created the massively complex file, and then use that accusation against them in the midterms. If it's all a hoax, Trump has nothing to hide.

That's how you get his ghost to appear,right? Or maybe I confuse with another boogeyman.

That was Robert Hegyes, who is sadly no longer with us.

I think it's just Travolta and Lawrence Hilton Jacobs (Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington) who are left from that crew.

Gabe Kaplan is still with us. I didn’t know, had to check. Funny, he was only 4 or 5 years older than his students.

O.T. Just jumping in on the Sir Swollen Hands rumpus. Sir wants this kept quiet but because Sir is so deeply beloved here are the facts. While I'm not a doctor I am speaking as a cosmetic surgeon. Sir is simply undergoing routine, voluntary Hand Enlargement. Even though the Autopen is in use during recovery -- and only while Sir is present -- please rest assured Sir is still able to try to wank!

A brain enlargement would be more appropriate. If he had one.

Let’s say Donald J Trump, adjudicated rapist and all around anus tart is prefectly innocent and made perfect phone calls and took prefect plane rides with Epstein (to Vegas with teenagers)

He just spent all his efforts to get a tax cut for his fat little billionaire supporters, wouldn’t he go the extra mile to keep them out of jail?

I think so. Check, wannabe king.
