We already knew that he was in the Epstein files, right? He had been named with details in lawsuits by girls who were trafficked and there are pictures at Epstein parties with him and some of the trafficked girls.

It’s not new that he was listed; but it is one thing to be associated with Epstein; it is another and more damning thing to have potential details of what might have transpired revealed such that that anyone of sound mind and morals would take a large step back from you. I am not talking about those in churches who say—God works in mysterious ways, or who say that it doesn’t matter what he used to do because you can see that he has repented and all is forgiven in God’s eyes, or those who say —I don’t agree with what he does and says. We know he is not Christian, but we have been promised that he will support OUR agenda so God says it was not a sin to vote for him. These people are not likely to change their view of him. I am talking about your everyday American who will say/-he has crossed a line too important to ignore or gloss over. He may have reformed but he doesn’t have the character that we need for someone to be the president of the most powerful nation in the world. (Well, we used to be, anyway…)

There is no evidence that anything about Putin’s Apprentice has ever been reformed. The only thing that is changing is he has become increasingly incoherent as his Alzheimer’s progresses.

They're definitely doing distractions but not because of the Epstein files. We already knew he was in there. We've seen the pictures and videos for decades. This is nothing new

What do you want for proof? The flight logs were released some time ago. Trump was listed as a passenger on several flights. Trump says he barely new Epstein. Trump caught again, in another lie. There is video of them being social together. Now, that is circumstantial evidence, but at least it shows that it wasn't a casual relationship. More will come.

We have photographs of Putin’s Apprentice and Epstein with young women. We have recordings of him saying he share’s Epstein’s taste for young girls. What more do you need? We even have his comments about his daughter when she was still a teenager.

So what? What you and everyone else has mentioned is social parties that leave it up to the imagination. Call me what you want, but I want to see actual proof he had sex with young ladies under 17 yrs old that will hold substance and no doubt he did do it. The one court case that was started that I'm aware of was dropped so that can easily be brushed off as someone wanting to get fame and money. Still no solid 100% without a doubt fact he actually had sex with underage minors.

I haven't heard him say he had sexual encounters with underage girls? If you have please share a link. Every time he's been accused of sex he denies and most times says he doesn't even know them. Hell, he denied knowing E. Jean Carrol ?

They want us to overlook Musk mentioning how he enabled Trump’s election. In NY there is a hand counting of the 2024 election votes and it could lead to further and deeper investigations into tampering with the computers as both Musk and a Trump alluded to. We shall see. We are staying on our toes!!!!!

That's what they're an expert in.. lie, distract, and deflect. This is textbook of a malignant narcissist. And like Dr. Bandy Lee has said: "tRumps malignant narcissism is a contagion. We are living under a second pandemic. That being of the orange assholes malignant narcissism. This is why the sociopaths that surround him are emulating him to a T. With perfect evil precision. Krasnov is a master manipulator and chaos agent. These types of people thrive in it. This is why even though it is likely that he has onset dementia, his narcissism overshadow it. In my opinion a malignant narcissist is the worse human being that could ever exist.

So - everybody’s written their reps to say “Vote NO on the Big Budget Bull Bill, right?” Then you can entertain yourself with The Donald and Elon Show.

Personally, I am very upset at these ICE agents wearing masks and their invasions of peaceful, every day places, taking our neighbors away with no notice. That’s not over. And it is happening in real time to real people, so it IS important and it still is urgent.

In DC we don’t have representatives who can vote in Congress. Yet we pay the same taxes as all of you. And of our city taxes, 1.1 billion is right now being held hostage by the GOP because we are two reliable democrat electoral votes for presidential elections. This causes many of our needed social programs and city services to be cut off. All these substack authors are ordering us to do things that are just not possible in DC. We have to watch while this administration defiles our city, arrests our neighbors, and threatens us with more and more cuts if we speak up. And anyway, speak up to whom? We can call our council members who have no power. We are saddled with a Fox News host for the new US attorney for DC!! Someone please speak up for DC. We should be a state. We have a larger population than Wyoming. We contribute far more in tax dollars per capita than many red states. Yet we have no rights. I have not seen a loud substack author on this problem.

I agree DC.should have representation for the people in your district. If Wyoming gets two senators and one representative then DC. Should have the same representation. The population of the state or district should have the same amount of representation.🤷🏻

Watch videos of arrests. Take note of Federal agencies and their garb. Now look at the masked men's garb. Tell me what you. I can tell you that Amazon has said that there has been a sharp, high increase in the number of tactical vests and Velcro backed Velcro-backed patches, which say "POLICE." Like from numbers in the double digits into several thousand sold. Wonder who is buying these two items? For what purpose? I think the videos tell the answers.

If Amazon said they had sold all sorts of tactical gear then they have records of who bought it and where it went….

Probably. The government would never subpoena those records, they already know who each person is. It would be a leap, connecting the Amazon list to a list of men “deputized” without having both lists to compare names.

I have a hunch, and perhaps it’s crazy. Groups like the Oath Keepers, the Patriot Front and the Proud Boys have been on the FBI Watch List for some time.

Wouldn’t it be awful if someone had access to said lists and it would be even more terrible if the FBI initiated contact with these men, and enrolled these people from the Watch List to help ICE?

Nah, they wouldn’t do that, they’re the federal government. Right?

Right?

They already have hired many of the pardoned January 6th rioters into ICE positions. So no, this would not be far fetched at all. In fact it’s very probable.

How many thousands more Americans died of COVID because they believed Trump's lies? People died on January 6th because of him. A spectator was shot and killed in the "assassination attempt because of him. Trump literally has blood on his hands and that has never been emphasized, in my opinion, in the media.

While these developments are certainly intriguing, even if morally-scathing info on Trump is released, no one in MAGA is likely to be phased and the GOP will probably dismiss it. As long as it's not happening to them the Pricktator can do no wrong.

But I still support you in your vigilant work, Aaron. MAYBE one day Shitler supporters will wakeup.

Exactly. After yesterday's battles, the administration had a meeting to plan strategy to repair this fiasco. They knew Garcias return would distract from the bill vote and Epstein allegations.
