Calling Jeffrey Epstein a "pussy whisperer" who facilitated meetings with women for nerdy billionaires who couldn't otherwise get laid, is the best summation of this scandal I've heard to date.

I can't believe Chris Christie enthusiastically called out the GOP (and specifically named Lindsey Graham) for brutally trashing Trump in private discussions, yet praising him as the best president ever when the cameras are rolling.

So, the "All American Halftime Show" is not an actual "show" in front of an audience that is being broadcast--it's just PRE-RECORDED acts streaming from various locations. Is this because they couldn't actually sell tickets to this shit show? How pathetic.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

GOP in Congress:
Donald Trump is a lame duck. He can't serve a 3rd term. He's old and losing his mind.
Why are you so afraid of him? Honor the oath you took and defend the laws of this country.
Please resign now--the country would like to elect people with courage who defend the constitution.

Exactly. All the insanity and partisan bullshit of the Epstein Files "investigation" in a single sentence.
James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

If these files are real, I'd expect the administration to do everything in their power to scrub them off all social media platforms. But it looks like millions of people have already seen them and saved them to their devices. Waiting for responsible media coverage on this major fuckup by the DOJ.
BREAKING: The DOJ just DELETED a document in the Epstein Files that contained allegations made against Donald Trump.
But we saved it. 👇

Have you called your Representatives and told them enough is enough and to impeach and remove this MFer today?
Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

No retreat until at least the following happens.
--ICE off the streets of MPS.
--Fire Stephen Miller.

They have to negotiate to fund the government again. We have the power. Shut it all down unless they stop funding DHS.
