Trump's policies are inflicting so much harm even his allies can see it. Yet he's mostly doing exactly what he promised to. If they revolt over policy, they'll reveal they were fools to back him in the first place. They need a *moral* reason to abandon him. The Epstein files provide just that.

JUST IN: Trump pardoned Suzanne Kaye, who was sentenced to 18 months for threatening to shoot FBI agents.
Beyond disgraceful!

I think the most disturbing thing tactically is that the Trump regime and possibly members of the DOJ itself are intimately involved with the J6ers and their allies to this day.
This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

It's really cuckoo how Democrat wonks can simultaneously believe "BUT HER EMAILS" lost Hillary Clinton the 2016 election while also believing that 10,000 emails all explicitly mentioning Trump's sex crimes against minors won't have an effect. Does this shit matter or not, guys? Which is it?

Force A Referendum On The Epstein Coverup
It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

So… A BP agent filmed in LA in June kidnapping someone from a Walmart got arrested by Long Beach cops after drunkenly flashing his service pistol in a women’s restroom. He demanded they call BP Commander Bovino. After making bail he died of a drug OD at his parents house. lbpost.com/news/isaiah-...
A viral arrest, a drunken brawl and an overdose: the last days of a notorious Border Patrol agent
We obtained hours of body-camera video that give the fullest — and perhaps last — glimpse of Agent Isaiah Hodgson’s mindset when he became a flashpoint in the fight over immigration raids.
