i wonder if this makes anyone go "hmm, i wonder what else he called a hoax just to cover his ass"
"You stupid people fell for the hoax I promoted."
Every day the gymnastics needed for a Trump supporter gets more and more convoluted. First, he was speaking up in favor of H1B workers (so much for support of American workers), then his "no new wars" turned into broad support of Israel and military actions taken, now his "drain the swamp" has turned into "it's not permitted to even talk about Epstein".
More proof that he is a shameless huckster with no honor in him at all. Sadly, much of his base is quite used to making excuses on his behalf and I'd imagine they can keep this up for quite a while. What a scumbag. I won't be upset when he leaves the White House, whether that's due to health problems, impeachment or running out the clock.
Hit em with the ole slammy whammy eh?
Can we stop using this word? It's not the WWE were talking about and it's lost all meaning
I am literally in the wrestling business and I hear that term less there then I do reading headlines.

This is one of those really rare moments where you get to say “you’re right, Alex Jones.”
There is no war in Ba Sing Se, you hear me? THERE IS NO WAR IN BA SING SE
Don't look up. The king has warned (once again) that if you do, you're a damn fool.
I actually saw "Don't Look Up" last year for the first time and let me tell ya, it was too real.
Trump's a paedo himself, ofc hes's gonna get all defensive over this
Wait, wasn't your whole political philosophy built around ignorance and spineless loyalty? If you train them to fall for scams and conspiracies don't get shocked when they go for another conspiracy that you don't like.
...because I don’t want their support anymore!
Damn, he's gone "full Hitler in the bunker". "Those damn traitors! They failed me!"
he’s gone “full Hitler in the bunker”
There's just one more important step for that to be true ... and I don't mean poisoning his dog.

his last campaign was built on releasing the epstein files. everything else was secondary to the voters.
That is so dead on. I really want to see what those meetings are like
The more he reacts, the guiltier he looks. What a morone.
Man, it would be incredible if Epstein and Trump's inability to shut up about it is what brings this regime down.
Its a nice thought, but I worry about all the judges he appointed, and how long they last beyond his presidency.
Bullets are cheap.
If Luigi is found not guilty things could get wild.
if he's found guilty, they're gonna get wilder
That's why his case will linger in limbo until people forget.

Back when Trump put up his tower, Jackie Kennedy Onassis was famously fighting to preserve New York landmarks like Grand Central Station. Trump's own architect told him to leave the façade of the building alone, but Trump overruled him. Trump blew the perfect opportunity to get in good with elites because he was too greedy and arrogant.
Bonus- there's a guest apperance by John Barron!!

That’s generally what cult leaders do, they don’t bend to their followers, they beat them down as weak and fake believers until they fall back in line. And the ones who do get out immediately become the enemy and the devil in one.
This is Jim Jones/David Koresh type shit

How is a man baby in charge of the free world?
He isn't. He's in charge of the United States of America.
Because the Americans are all idiots.
The gaslighting by Trump is absolutely insane, and what's worse is the republicans who are supposed to be grown men copy catting his childish behaviour.

Urrrp!
I just watched this scene like 2 days ago. Parker flips out and fires all his loyal henchmen because Clown asks him a question, and he's an utter and insane moron. It's a pretty cliche trope. But in that one, Riri beats beats the shit out of him with a mech suit.
Praying for someone to beat the shit out of Trump with a mech suit
Dude is freaking out because he's finally being treated like any other politician, and his pathetic ego can't handle it.
PLEASE let this be the beginning of the end. I've aged like 5 years in the last 6 months.
Also for anyone seeing this comment, here is the testimony of Katie Johnson who claimed Trump raped her and other 13 year old girls multiple times. Fair warning: it goes into excruciating and brutal details:
"Katie Johnson's full testimony of 2/11/16", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnib-OORRRo
Please save and spread.
Trump went on Howard Stern and boasted about barging into the dressing rooms at the Miss Teen USA pageant. He famously perved on his own daughter. This is nothing new

This is interesting... In the past when Trump has tried to push back on his followers he's followed the TACO principle. Like when he wanted to take credit for the COVID vaccines but his audience was anti-vax he quickly softened his language to "take it... if you want it tho. Maybe it's poison who knows?"
He's never been a leader - he's just been an amalgamation of all of the racism and conspiracy theories his followers have. He says "yes" or "maybe" to everything. I think this is the first time he's really said "no" though?

So without a doubt 100% confirmed as legitimate
Yes. He raped a 13 year old that looked liked Ivanka and a 12 year old. Dressed them as maids. Told them they could have done better after. There's a picture of him with the 13 year old.

The one thing that is in the back of my mind is what is Trump going to do next in order to attempt to cover up this Epstein list situation? Will he declare war on a foreign country? Will he declare war on the people of the United States who stand against him?
When the last republican president had an approval rating as shitty as trump's, he lucked into the worst terrorist attack in US history.

MAGAts are like children refusing to eat their veggies. They're going to resist with this whole Epstein thing until their Daddy looks at them sternly and tells them to fall in line....or else.
It's performative noncompliance. At the end of the day, when the going gets tough, they'll show their support for a felon rapist (pedo?), because that's what they've always done, without fail.

Hmmm. Wonder how this will play out.
He seems awfully angry about a hoax. Just saying
Calls his supporters "weaklings". Bold move, let's see how that works out...

Thinking about how low these folks usually go, I'm wondering why they haven't just worked up a fake hatchet job file selectively incriminating their enemies and exonerating themselves. It possibly wouldn't matter if it were called into question by evidence of tampering. Their devotees are indoctrinated enough to swallow almost anything -especially if it reinforced their biases against people they've already been trained to hate. What fallout are they afraid of in releasing a doctored list? I'd wager this will be the eventual outcome. A fake file that most know to be fake, but will mollify his base.
