  • It’s really kind of them to protect all the democrats they say are the only ones implicated in those files. They’ve gone to so much effort to protect people that no one wants them to protect. Other democrats don’t want them protected, and republicans don’t generally want anyone protected other than themselves, like each individual republican. So it’s quite the uncommon situation to have so many republicans choose to protect people that are not only meaningless to them, but people you would think they would see as their enemies as well as criminals.

    So yeah, anyway… it can be pretty tough to keep 100 lies straight, unless the person you are lying to is also invested in those lies being the truth.





  • I definitely wouldn’t say it’s a certainty, but it’s a pretty strong coincidence to have all three of those sudden outbursts back to back out of the blue if they are completely unrelated. And even if that didn’t happen the odds were already high enough before making that connection.

    That behaviour is very much in-line with those types of clubs. Whether the illegal thing be drugs, or sex stuff, or just the actual real life secret political clubs that were only about corruption and collusion, which sound super tame now, but are already bad enough. And those clubs do very often end up coming out that they were still infiltrated with spies, or started by spies in some cases. Like, these aren’t uncommon or brand new, they have been around for thousands of years.

    It’s actually very believable.






  • They are holding the most vulnerable Americans hostage in the hopes that it will convince the democrats to allow them to be hurt in a different way, by agreeing to the proposed budget.

    But most importantly, they are also trying to extend the duration of the shutdown, while making it seem like they aren’t the ones doing it. So the deal they are offering has to stay something that the democrats would never agree to…

    So they also benefit from anything other than that being what is in the news, but they have lots of practice making sure the news is talking about stupid stuff instead of important stuff.

    As long as the government is shut down, the vote to release the Epstein documents can’t happen. Currently if it happened, it would pass. That will be devastating not to just trump, but a large percentage of rich republicans, in and out of government. (As well as a small percentage of rich democrats) so they are just waiting until the situation changes enough that they think a vote would go their way.

    And while that does seem both comically evil and too simple to possibly be what it is all about… or wait… does it still seem too evil and simple to be the real plan?



  • Lying is his only course of action, he is literally backed into a corner, trying to make it seem like he isn’t. If he makes it out of this, it benefits him the more people who didn’t know how dire it was. If he doesn’t make it out, then it doesn’t matter what he said or did while he was backed into a corner, the result will be the same since this isn’t even close to the same scale as what he is up against if the government resumes with the ability to successfully release the Epstein files.

    From his perspective, literally any cost is justified if it has any chance of the Epstein files not getting out.
