That's literally how every major Republican donor made all their money
JD Vance: "Democrats' idea was the way you get more prosperity is that you import more and more low wage servants."

A nonstop bullshit machine
JD Vance: "I serve under Donald Trump, who is very healthy. If I served under Joe Biden, I'd probably be worried every minute of every day that he was gonna croak and that I'd have to become president."

Jeffrey Epstein in 2015: "would you like photos of donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen."

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.”
Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration.
Weird coincidence.

The pundit and political class tended to downplay the Epstein Files because they believed it too salacious and not serious enough to drive government policy and decision-making. Except, they are doing just that. Dismissing the importance of the Files ignores who Trump is and who he has always been.

So, according to a sweaty Donald Trump, Republicans who don't treat the Epstein story as a "hoax" are "very bad or stupid," while Democrats are just deflecting from their massive shutdown failure. Uh-huh. Keep running that play, Donald. It won't work this time.

Oh! We at Bolts just wrote about Roxanna Valenzuela, and South Tucson, a few months ago.

You may remember her as the mayor of the Arizona city who faced a recall (and survived) because she helped a soup kitchen and help housed homeless people: boltsmag.org/arizona-enfo...

Megyn Kelly is contemptible.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

America's Roman Catholic bishops have rebuked the Trump admin's aggressive deportation campaign in a rare and near-unanimous statement.

"We as Catholic bishops love our country … we feel compelled now in this environment to raise our voices in defense of God-given human dignity."

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.
