Did anyone expect that to work? Honestly?
We've known Trump was on the list. hug, Trump bought Epstein's old plane FFS. None of this is a surprise, but all of this desperation suggests there's more than just Trump's name on that list that he wants concealed.

There's a difference between "knowing" Trump hired child sex slaves from the world's most notorious child sex slave tycoon, and having copies of the receipts circulating all over the world. For one thing, we've "known" it since before the dude took office his first term, but now his own cult is starting to believe it and demand answers. The same people who have spend the last eight years convinced that he was secretly working behind the scenes to bring down the world's sex trafficking rings because some rando anon posted cryptic messages on 4chan to that effect.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

Like I've been saying: it's not about trump being on the list. He's ******* scum, we all know it.

Who is he blackmailing with the list? Cause you know he's using it to enrich himself.

If he wasn't on the list, he'd be using it openly against other people on it, because he's about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the nuts.

That he's actually deliberately trying to bury it instead of just quietly ignoring it probably means someone else on the list has dirt on him and wants it gone.

Yeah, he's just virtue signaling his core base. This is literally his "Welp, I tried *shoulder shrug*" so he can get re-elected.

Yeah, totally agreed. If it was just Trump, this is a lot of Republicans way out from under his thumb. If it was just Trump, he could probably get himself off of the list and release it. But if you clean off all the people they need off of the list, the people still on the list are going to start talking.

If his goal was just redacting himself and a few others: then there's literally no reason it hasn't been released yet. Throw a couple of "lesser" rich folk to the base to feed.

But if he does that: he can't use the list the way epstein did; blackmail and extortion. He will ALWAYS take the path that personally enriches him. And all those rich folks, with something to hide... sounds like a great pillar of support for an illegitimate tyrant.

That's....not a bad read.

That makes far too much sense. Depressing sense.
It is nice to see the backlash, though. This isn't going as smooth as Trump wanted. And I do believe this will haunt the GOP should we get midterms.

But, of course, nothing truly haunts Trump. Long as he acts like he doesn't care, the flies don't stick.

Again my dude: They called an emergency session. To gerrymander. IN TEXAS. A state that's already so gerrymandered it is the literal test case for illegal gerrymandering.

Not only is there going to be a midterm: the republicans are so worried about them they think everything they've already done won't be enough to protect them.

Edit: let's be clear here: not worried about the cult flipping and voting blue. They're worried the cult will stay home, or vote musks third party. It's why they need to move to make the votes they do get be even more over-represented. They are panicking over the epstein jive, and it shows.
