I naively thought pedophilia would be the red line, even for Trump supporters. I guess not.
Trump is they; they are he. They *cannot* reject him, for any reason, because that would be the same as rejecting themselves, which is something no one can live with.
Donald Trump could rape and murder a five-year-old on camera and they would accept it, excuse it, and what-about it. There is *literally* nothing he could do that would cost him the support of his hard-core base. NOTHING.
It's not a cult, though. * Absolutely* not a cult.
This is second very recent post that, unfortunately (but without meaning to), underplays America's responsibility for Trumpism. "Base" and "hard-core base." Sure, those may not completely overlap with those who voted for him, but there's a hell of a lot of overlap. And especially if one considers THE most important thing: WHO do you pull the lever for?
Trump won by a tiny bit less than 50% of the vote. What do we think that it would be TODAY? 48? 45? Almost certainly no lower?
It would be GREAT if the only thing we had to worry about was a 20-30% "base." Unfortunately, it's far, far worse than that.
Somewhere in the FBI's Epstein files, there is an electronic photo and data log with Trump-Epstein birthday letter in it, showing where, when and what condition the letter was in the very moment the FBI seized it from Epstein's compound. That same log will show the Trump-Epstein letter was on Pamela Bondo's desk last February and that she red-flagged it.
Dow Jones and Murdoch should (1) move to dismiss Trump's bogus Complaint for defamation filed in S.D. Florida, (2) move for sanctions against Trump and his lawyers for frivolous and false pleadings and violations of Federal Rule 11, and (3) file a Complaint in S.D. Florida against Trump for defamation.
Developing . . . . .
Let me know if it turns out bad for Trump in the end, and then I'll reply, "Lawfare!"
“This is why there’s no serious doubt that Donald Trump wrote the letter to Jeffrey Epstein. 1. The book itself has been released. The full 238-page birthday album is public. It contains dozens of letters Maxwell solicited from Epstein’s friends, including one from Dr. Stephen Levy dated December 2002, which explicitly says: “You could never imagine the surprise I felt when Ghislaine first contacted me about writing something for your memory book.” This shows Maxwell was actively recruiting contributors for the project. 2. The scale and content make forgery impossible. The book isn’t a few loose pages—it includes dozens upon dozens of never-before-seen photographs of Epstein, woven together with letters, drawings, and notes. A forger would have had to fabricate an entire 238-page archival album just to target Trump, which is implausible on its face. 3. Eyewitness confirmation. Multiple people who were asked to contribute in 2002 and 2003 have confirmed that they submitted letters to Maxwell for this very book. Their testimony eliminates any question that the book is authentic. 4. Professionally bound. The album was leather-bound by a New York bookbinder in 2003. Once bound, its contents were “fixed.” Altering it later would have left obvious traces—mismatched paper, cut edges, or damage to the binding. 5. Verified chain of custody. The book has remained in the hands of Epstein’s estate since 2003. It was turned over by attorney Daniel Weiner, a respected court-appointed administrator. Both Mark Epstein (Jeffrey’s brother) and multiple victims—who recall being told by Maxwell to help assemble it—have independently confirmed the book’s existence. 6. Timeline makes forgery absurd. The book was compiled in 2003, years before Epstein’s crimes became public and more than a decade before Trump entered presidential politics. For it to be a forgery, someone in 2002–2003 would have had to pre-emptively fake Trump’s signature, deliver it to Maxwell, and slip it into the binder—for no conceivable reason. 7. The handwriting matches. Trump’s signature in the album is consistent with his known autograph style from that period.”

I know many common sense democrats who voted for Trump because Kamala / national Dems went insane. Taxpayer funded gender mutilation surgeries for illegal immigrant prisoners? Men in women’s sports? A completely porous border?

NONSENSE!
We hold these TRUTHS to be self evident:
1) The so-called Journal, a well known uber-liberal RAG, reported on the purported letter WITHOUT EVIDENCE!
2) Trump has MILLIONS (That's Millions with a 'B') of beautiful women throwing themselves at him. It IS absurd to think that Trump might engage in sexual "activities of a barbaric nature. Only a LIB would even think OF something so batsh!t crazy.
“Trump hates everyone. Obama, Biden, Hillary, Kamala, Newsom, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springstein, Rosie O'Donnell, Tom Hanks, his current wife, his ex-wives, employees, contractors, aides, generals, immigrants, judges, gays, trans, people of color, reporters, Harvard, Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, Windmills, batteries, and Americans. Donald hates everyone but one. Jeffrey Epstein. His soulmate. His twin. His partner. When a man who writes hate letters every day, writes someone a love letter, it matters. Donald and Epstein shared everything. Birds of a feather rape together.”

You can spend a lot of time listing Democrat flaws and I’m likely to nod in agreement.
I see a better corrective to those problems: a non-insane Republican party. The first step toward that should have been to not have Trump as the nominee in the last election. The country is likely to be better off when Trumpian politics start to decline.
Trump’s brand of politics largely exposed existing problems in America and with Americans, but it also deepened those problems and has done more to tear at the social fabric and make everyone dumber and less well informed.

No you don't.
I was a long time Democrat and then I woke up. Proudly voted for Trump in 2024.

it’s gonna be a deep hole to dig out of.
Trumpism is the greatest bloodless intelligence coup of all time. Russia isn’t all to blame, but a good amount is their fault.
Russia has been hammering away at our democracy and our social media platforms tech gave them the rope they needed to hang us.
The accusations mark the third straight presidential election in which U.S. authorities have unveiled politically charged details about the Kremlin's attempted interference in U.S. politics.

Developing . . . . .
Let me know if it turns out bad for Trump in the end, and then I'll reply, "Lawfare!"
Or can we just skip to that right now?
My understanding of the Lawfare defense is that it is always available with respect to any publicly filed pleading that a person has not read.
Here is Trump's Complaint against Dow Jones d/b/a Wall Street Journal. The first striking thing to me is - why this? Hundreds of negative and unflattering articles get published about Trump every day, but this one really caught his eye as something he needed to attack, even though it raises the profile of the article AND puts significant burdens on Trump to actually prove facts that will be VERY difficult to prove. It's just a weird call he and his lawyers made to highlight this.
The Complaint is very thin on affirmative facts and allegations and it's primary allegation seems to be that the WSJ did not "attach" the Trump letter to Epstein (do media articles usually "attach" documents?) and that WSJ can't prove Trump had anything to do with it. Sure they can (not that they need to). It's in your best friend's compilation birthday book and has your signature on it and it was located during an FBI search of Epstein's house, and there is no evidence or reason that anyone would submit fake letters to the Epstein birthday book.
Trump also appears, although does not expressly say, to argue that he didn't "write" (i.e., hands-on type the letter), but the WSJ article never says he did. (As the Daily Wire points out, the prose is beyond Trump's sophistication and literacy level). WSJ uses "author" in the sense that Trump at least authorized and approved the letter (he signed it) even if he didn't actually conceive of the words and draw the t!ts himself. Basically Trump disputes, without any facts of his own, things that WSJ never said.

Let's reminisce on all the things you Libs swore would be the downfall of the Donald:
Mueller investigation
Trump campaign colluding/conspiring with Russia
Stormy Daniels
Michael Cohen flipping
Rudy Guiliani
Impeachment I
Impeachment II
Jan 6 protest
Jan 6 hearings
All the indictments
All the convictions
The lib judges and all their attacks
Trump being in jail so he can't run for office
The stock market collapse
The Epstein files
The love letter to Epstein from Donald Trump
there are others ...
Each time you Libs become laser-focused on the current "scandal" only to have it die a slow death.
So far you Libs are batting around 0-35 against Trump.
Will you ever get over your Trump derangement syndrome? Will you require psychiatric counseling for years to come?

This is from a year ago, Spuds. Ben Johnson got duped like a common serf. Humiliationism. Johnsons get duped a lot.
Is there anyone in the John, Johnson?
They are laughing at Ben Johnson back in Russia, and checking out his network of friends looking for more gullible personalities. Jesus Christ. At least try to be vigilant MAGAs.
Well, you can't just blame Trumpism. The establishment pretty much just rolled over and let it happen. Biden's appointment of Merrick Garland, a Republican, was one of the most disastrous decisions in American political history. He actively avoided prosecuting Republican criminals/traitors because he was afraid Fox News would call him "politically biased." Look at how he provided cover to shameless rightwing propagandists. "They were duped! They didn't know who was paying their meal ticket. It was just a coincidence that they constantly parroted Kremlin talking points." What a joke.

Are you really bragging he got away with being close friends with a notorious pedophile?
Trump’s next move is to put national guardsmen into more and more risky situations hoping one of them gets shot and, to trump’s evil soul, killed.
that would be go-time to declare martial law and start down the road to federal control of elections, which we all know Trump dearly wants.
This ^ seems frighteningly likely.
This is what Trump wanted on at least two different occasions in Trump 1.0 but couldn’t get it to happen because the opposition (Antifa) did not show up.
The whole plan for going to the capitol was to meet counter protesters for Biden and start a riot. That was why Trump was glued to the TV. If this happened he could have taken Presidential action and delayed the certification of vote for Biden
They are desperate for someone to commit violence or kill an Ice or national guard guy. Stephen Miller would be giddy.
Hell, they tried to get a grand jury to indict a guy that threw a sandwich at an Ice guy for a felony and they couldn’t get a jury to do that simple task. Three times they tried and failed.

Now I get why a semi autistic drug addict (Musk) jumped ship. This is disgusting. Beyond disgraceful just sick. I always knew pedos existed but never met one outside the tv box, cause it’s unimaginably weird and disgusting. Incomprehensible so I never thought about it. This man has a teenage son in college. Wonder what he thinks of all of this. Brave enough to question daddy ?
