Trump administration officials are perplexed, as many people are, by House Speaker Mike Johnson’s claims that Donald Trump was an FBI informant in the case against Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges he sexually abused and trafficked scores of underage girls. The president and Epstein had a well-documented friendship.
Not at all. This is something that could sink the whole administration if it gets out of hand. That’s something you want to have go quietly away, not constantly bring up.
Yup, I will keep saying this. The Epstein list is just a focusing lens of the US populace’s rage. They know they are getting the short straw, they know they are getting fucked, they refuse to believe that the reason they are getting fucked is from the very capitalism that they get their national sense of self from… But, they do understand that raping kids is bad. Epstein allows Americans to vent their rage and call for tearing down powerful names because we can all rally as one around this issue, without having to question deeply held beliefs, even if those very beliefs are the cause of the illness.
Exactly. This is like the only issue that can’t be turned into a wedge issue to divide us, since like the murder of a healthcare CEO, this is a class issue!
