Republican stooges are doing what they do....obfuscate, distract, flood the zone. How do they look their families and constituents in the eye? Greed is amazing.

Bingo, Kath. As I’ve said before and I’ll say it again….they’re not even hiding the script anymore. Congress was “dismissed, committees canceled, and votes wiped off the calendar” ok but sure, there’s “nothing to see here, folks.” 🤡

The GOP’s new brand strategy: scream about deep state files, then deep six the files when they smell Trump’s name inside. The freakout is louder than a fire alarm in Mar-a-Lago.

What gets me is how fast they went from subpoenaing the truth to chanting “let’s move on.” That right there is fucking getaway car with no brakes.

I’m tracking this beat too. The real story? It’s buried under the rubble they created.

Hey, Xp, great post! Uberdrump stubbed his toe and all his loonie suckups can't fix it, boo-hoo. Hope he hits the wall at 2000 mph!

However, being a thinking person, I find yelling 'deep state' bring to question how can there be a deep state? Trump owns Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Executive branch. He has fired many federal employees. He has hired many loyal 'special employees'. He just cannot get rid of those 'activist' judges.

HE IS THE DEEP STATE.

Michael, I agree in the sense that the 'Deep State' is a right-wing invention that drumpf has used as a foil for ten years to blame the Democrats for everything that's wrong in the world. I prefer to call the drumpf (the perpetrator-in-chief of) the 'rogue state'.

Was Melania Cheeto Involved With the Epstein Ring?

There are at least 2 photos of the 2 swinger couples together in public during Cheeto’s bad boy years….Melania and Cheeto along with Epstein and Maxwell Cheeto started dating Melania in 1998 This is 2 years after Maria Farmer had come forward to file a complaint with local and then FBI authorities about what Epstein and Maxwell were up to with their international sex trafficking ring It’s now public knowledge that Epstein said the Melania and Cheeto first had intercourse on Epstein’s plane and then in 2005 Melania married Cheeto but Epstein and Maxwell were not on the invitation list Was Cheeto trying to divest himself to Epstein’s friendship?

In 2006 the FBI contacted Maria Farmer and she divulged all her details of her relationship with Epstein and Maxwell In 2006 Epstein got a plea deal with Florida authorities and then continued on with his pedophilia journey with schoolgirls(not young women)

An interview with the Daily Beast(https://bit.ly/46px65j) Michael Wolff(author of 4 books on Cheeto) states that Maxwell’s shot across the bow with her release of the birthday wishes from Cheeto to Epstein, Blanche’s interview with Maxwell is to find out what she will divulge and what can be done to shut her up For Cheeto and Melania Cheeto a lot is riding on this settlement

And what does Baron Cheeto think about his momma’s past sordid group she hung out with including his lecherous father?

Baron probably has never heard the truth from either one of them.

To be fair, I don’t think that I would have divulged that kind of sordid information to my kid either. Not to give Melania or Trump any slack, because over the 90’s and very early 2000’s, how could they at least not know? I personally think the smoking gun is proof that DT knew what Epstein and Maxwell were doing but did nothing to stop it.

He doesn’t speak for me. I want to know about trump and whether or not he was having sex with underage girls. If he has then he needs to be arrested. And anyone else that has done the same thing. I am sick of trump having his way about everything and not being held accountable.

He raped an underage girl who reminded him of Ivanka. The woman tried to go so far as have Attorney Allred represent her but backed down out of fear for her life. The rape was at Esptein's - another girl took her to the room and tied her down - Ghislaine was called to the room after the rape.

Many girls were raped by Eostein’s group and they reported them back then, but nothing was done. The DUMPSTER has sexually abused many women and only one women won her lawsuits twice! A convicted felon, sex abuser, thief, cheat and Mentally Ill animal needs to be removed from office and put in a Mental Institution on heavy medication so we never have to see him or hear from him ever again!!!

I don't think he ever thought about Ivanka when he was preying upon young girls. They were young & helpless. Ivanka just fit into that category at the time. He's always been a sexual predator & his alliances prove it.

Trump directly stated he had a fantasy about his daughter - according to the victim. PS - Take a look at the video of Ivanka showing her childhood bedroom - and her affect - there is a VERY bad memory for her there - Whatever you "think" about felon47 - you probably cannot imagine the type of person he really is. . .

Sharon, this behavior is as contemptible for the Chief(!) Executive Officer as it would be for a common street punk. Let's see him held accountable in a substantial way for the first time in his lengthy criminal career, and boot him in the ditch with his band of mafiosos!

Dennis, he has been this person his entire life! Cheated on all his wives with young girls & married women, sexually abused many women, (only won women won 2 lawsuits against him). He has lied his entire life, cheated workers and attorneys without paying them for work they did for him, filed 6 bankruptcies, closed businesses when losing money!

There is SO much evidence and so many powerful people involved! The American people feel very strongly that all those involved not only need to be exposed and prosecuted, but that these people CAN NOT be in ANY positions of power, democrat, republican, rich, poor, really makes no difference.
