I agree it could have AND Eve should have… BUT, as an old friend once said … saying “what should or could have been is like saying I should or could be taller. It didn’t happen and no amount of gnashing of teeth or blaming will change what is. BTW thanks for the discussion. I appreciate your ideas.

Any apology from him would result in nothing. Except maybe to make all the “told-you-so” pundits feel justified. I am much more interested in getting to the facts and truths of the who what and when were involved with EPSTIEN and accountability for them not, an apology from incompetent leadership.

Good question but irrelevant and nothing but an attempt to muddy the issue. ANYONE associated with EPSTIEN - regardless of party affiliation OR who they know NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

Until Congress has a method of enforcement, other than wailing and bashing of teeth, the tRump admin & SCOTUS will continue to run rough shod over the Constitution & laws of this land.

It is about power; using the “authority” of the bible to tell others what to do and how to live besides convincing them to fund lavish lifestyles. Couple that with a president who plays to their basest instincts ans they gladly offer up their souls for free.

Right now there are ZERO checks on tRump… Congress has tried and failed twice to impeach and now a majority of republican congress people & senators act like lap dogs waiting to be petted. SCOTUS has given him blanket immunity. THAT is why he thinks he owns the White House AND effectively he does.

the “smartest ‘stable genius’” in the world somehow picked a bunch of “losers” during his first term? Sounds like a “don con” to me.

You are absolutely correct… However, the tRump admin doesn’t care about “should be”s nor about the Constitution or rule of law… neither does the US Congress & SCOTUS it seems as they just keep giving tRump free passes and “never-go-to-jail cards”.

The national acceptance of dehumanizing others is exactly what led to the concentration & death camps of Nazi Germany. Maybe we won’t stoop to death camps BUT we are already seeing attempts of concentration camps i.e.- Alligator Alcatraz

Republicans have since 2010 - when the ACA was passed - to formulate a “plan” BUT now 25 YEARS LATE, they are “RUSHING” to create one. How much confidence can we have that it will be in any way viable & affordable?

First tRump protects Pedophiles by not releasing the Epstein files - still hasn’t to date - & NOW pardons DRUG DEALERS. The “swamp” isn’t being drained, it’s being populated.

Don’t worry, they will spend most of the 3 weeks giving interviews with Fox & CNN, making fund raising phone calls, posting meaningless schmoozing pics of their visits to & from home constituents - AND achieve NOTHING.
