The war is to cover up the Epstein files, and now the Epstein files are being used to cover up the war.

John Steele's avatar

Epstein Files, Iran War, ICE, DHS, the Big Sleazy Ripoff budget, scandals, Venezuela, dozens (hundreds?) of Court case, Firings, Congressional hearings, Maxwell, ignored subpoenas, Constitutional violations, Laws broken, Court orders ignored, the worst corruption, self-dealing, and outright theft from the Treasury in 250 years, nepotism, pardons for money or on a political whim, and much more. ALL highlighting the incompetence and ignorance of America's current Administration. ALL "flooding the zone". Purposefully! Too much for even 24hr news to adequately cover any one or another; let alone all of it.

And, of course, delay, delay, delay. Sooner or later the issue will go away. That's the Fat Fascist Felon's lifetime modus operandi. And the results of that can be seen in America's destruction and pending downfall.

Much worse than Watergate.

Jean Conley's avatar

Oh, yes, definitely! Watergate was a misdemeanor compared to these treasonous crimes. Besides, Nixon was a kind of peacemaker. After all, he got us out of Vietnam.

Dee Cee's avatar

Yes! Nixon created the EPA. trump is destroying it.

How can you list all of these evil "accomplishments" of trump and his administration and call them ignorant and incompetent? they're not incompetent they're monstrous and vile and fascist to the core. And just as dangerous are the voters who couldn't care less or turn a willful blind eye to it all.

Who in their right mind would now invest in the stock market? He’s destroyed its credibility.

Wendy Shelley's avatar

Don’t forget the billions he’s reaping for family and ‘friends’ from the market manipulations from the on-again-off-again peace (or otherwise) ‘deals’ he’s creating! It’s all delay and distractions from the Epstein files, but making money, hand over fist, is almost as good as the power he seems to wield!

Judy Sherwood's avatar

all of which needs to be clawed back by the next administration. all of it, plus interest and expenses and whatever else can be recovered.

Also don't forget what trump said out loud, "I got Khamenei before he could get me." Trump was afraid due to all the assassination plots against him from Iran. Iran's payback for trump's ordering the assassination of Soleimani in January 2020. So this was self preservation + revenge on trump's part.

You're right -- it's not just about Epstein. It's about opportunities to manipulate the stock market, make back room deals ("Riviera of the Middle East" aka Gaza w/Bibi), invoking war powers to pass executive orders (increasing coal generation), all while satisfying his bloodlust and getting to blow things up! I'm sure there's several other things we don't even know about yet.

Mike's avatar

Let's not forget the people he is killing on the alleged drug trafficking boats. This murderous act is still going on almost daily.

patricia montague's avatar

Yes. It is exactly WHY model-Melania took the stage. The media thus, the people are being completely manipulated. If it’s not the stock market, it’s the war, or Epstein or even his health. Everything goes back and forth. Everything. He’s a master at it and DOES NOT CARE about the USA. We are all being used.

Mike Hammer's avatar

Truth. And isn’t it something that he requires focus on himself at all times while creating chaos to the rest of the world. We’re all suckers and losers to him.

patricia montague's avatar

Yes .. makes me think we have a truly F’d up society.

Pat Robinson's avatar

And we have to include the entire GOP Congress in this...not a one of them cares about the USA either. Maybe Massie a tiny bit.

Jamae's avatar

and GOP Congress are about to let convicted sex trafficker Maxwell walk.

Ian Anderson would probably be pissed off........by dragging his song through the bottom feeder stinking pile of Orange dog shit.

I’m convinced he views the presidency as his own personal reality show where he is the star and he just runs it the way he wants. Because he was never qualified to be president. He was a horrible businessman. He is an entertainer, nothing else. Because he cares zero for the American people. He always has cared only about himself. He’s grifting as fast as he can packing away money because he knows it’s only a matter of time when the game is up.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

he's not very entertaining... he's a grifter, con artist, two-bit mobster from queens.

Arwen's avatar

You got that exactly correct. This orange megaturd never ever should have been allowed to run given his history, but to be elected twice shows a HUGE flaw in the US justice system and voting system. At this point he's doing all he can to load his greedy pockets because it's obvious the ship is sinking.

Truly horrible to watch him and this administration destroying the former United States. A complete overhaul will be required to ensure something like this can never happen again.

Lily Filippi's avatar

There should be serious requirements to become potus, one of them being character!

Eric Glover's avatar

I'll definitely will be setting down once we are able to see how much taxpayer money he's pissed off!

Julie Lawson's avatar

Looks like hes losing his mind and he can’t take it with him, so he’s just packing it away for his kids. Cool thing is that with dems in charge next year we can recoup everything he grifted illegally. Like the plane from Qatar and his ballroom donations. His sleazy presidential library/‘motel, sure to be gilded in gold plated scrap metal.

His last crime spree …

Summer's coming. Time to pull weeds. Bigly ones.

It’s all about insider trading. They are making billions.

Dee Cee's avatar

You just named why Republican legislators and his cabinet put up with him. It's not just about threats or fear. It's about hitching their wagons to his grift and lining their pockets.

Marjorie Taylor Greene was worth $700K when she entered Congress. She's worth $25 million now. Think she made that solely off her own wit?

Trump is an escalating catastrophy- from Manhattan real estate to New Jersey casinos to American health and security and now Globa conflict and an historic energy crises

The bigger the playground, the bigger the destruction

Trump destroys what he touches

Judy Sherwood's avatar

and enjoys, relishes every moment. he sees himself as king of the world, jesus in the flesh.

Jean Conley's avatar

Yes, he's studied Mien Kamph (sp?) and memorized all of Hitler's writings and is following them to the fullest. He is Dictator's idol.

Cathy Wray's avatar

That just makes me so sick.🤢

Right! Trump Epstein/Russia/Israel! Ukraine!

Meidas, We need regular, ongoing coverage of Gaza and Ukraine, too!

And Netanyahu and Putin continued atrocities. Keep the pressure on!

Trump is really bad for the world!!! Him and his family do not care about anything but themselves. And to make matters worse, I heard yesterday that the some of the republicans are okay with pardoning Ghislaine maxwell. How horrifying is that!!!! SOMEHOW, WE HAVE TO GET THEM OUT BEFORE THE MIDTERMS!!!!!!! Thank you Ben and MTN for everything you do to keep us informed with the truth. We appreciate you.

Wendy's avatar

We are now the most despised country in the world, thanks to the grifting unhinged, selfish Donnie Trump!

Accurate and well written Ben 💙

Never forget Jeffrey Epstein and his girlfriend. He is dead, and let hope she rots in Jail

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Looks like she's going to get pardoned according to a report from Aaron Parnas! 🤬

Cathy Wray's avatar

If she's released, 86.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Possibly but I'd rather see her suffer.

Gerry's avatar

Ben, any suggestions as to what we, the voters can do, short of a straight jacket for the felon in Chief?

Bridie's avatar

Please don’t forget about The Epstein Files. These shenanigans(war, court filings and mess surrounding redistricting are all a smokescreen) Young girls lives were destroyed, think about your daughters and granddaughters.

Everything with him comes down to a couple of weeks, what leadership! What a disaster!

Wade Baynham's avatar

Amen. The two-week cycles of a sociopathic, violent, racist, con man. Keep up the Truth-telling Ben.
