So, it's the Epstein file for MAGA to turn on Trump?

Ummm, not nearly 12 years of lies, not taking children away from their parents, not giving taxes breaks for the rich in his first term, not trying to take away your health care, not Covid, NOT J-6 riots!

Moving on to his 2nd attempt to be a dictator? Not more lies, not arresting migrants that are not criminals, not the massive takeover of the government, not the Big Blunder Bill taking social security and services rights away, not putting his wonky goons in his administration, plus many other idiotic policies?

Yet, the Epstein files is the biggest breach of his presidency trust?

I’m absolutely perplexed!

2. No . No one really cares about that. Epstein is long dead. The crimes are namless and faceless.

Most don't really care except that it sounds like a scandal.
I don't know what will take this down but we aren't there yet.

I too am perplexed. They knew but didn't care enough, or at all, that he was on the island and wherever abusing young girls. No, that wasn't the line too far, it was his loony administration trying to cover it up and lying about it.

What is wrong with the cult? Where sexually abusing young girls is ok, but telling someone to cover it up is over the line?

To put it mildly, it’s not working out that way.

They are secretly sick of him, but can't admit they were wrong.

This is their "Get out of Jail Free" card.

because of the whacked out QAnon theory that Democrats are pedophiles who drink childrens' blood.

They're just disappointed because they were sure this was going to be the smoking gun that lead to Dem leaders being hung.
