    That stupid hat is like a modern Dunce Cap from a hundred years ago to let everyone know who the idiot is.

    I feel like there needs to be a word for someone who tries to deflect from their obvious wrongdoings in a way that is almost identical in tone and comedic transparency to a stereotypical, cliche’d anime tsundere.

    Whatever that word is, Trump is the iconic example of it.

    trumps-Epstein prayer:

    Im not in the Epstein files.

    And if I was in the Epstein files, it wasn’t that bad.

    And if being in the Epstein files is bad, its no big deal.

    If it is a big deal that I was in the Epstein files, it’s democrats fault. <— We are here

    And if it’s my fault I was in the Epstein files, I didn’t mean to rape children.

    If i did mean to rape children, it’s all of your faults.

      If i did mean to rape children, it’s all of your faults their fault for “dressing that way” or whatever

      FTFY. 100% think he’ll go the “asking for it” route like most rapists.

        “Very mature for their age”

        “It’s legal in some places.”

        “All throughout history…”

        They’ll lap it up, too. I’ve seen footage of the H man so geeked out on pervitin (legal methamphetamine in Nazi Germany) he was shaking like a leaf and chewing his mustache. While viewing one of his military parades. Fascist leaders can do no wrong. It’s just interpreted as proof of his power and that he can do whatever he wants and can get away with anything.

        Fortunately for the US, there is not as homogeneous of a population as in the European fascist countries of history. He is still vulnerable to being ousted until the whole project 2025 is enacted.

      He genuinely believes that everyone that he associates with are inherently “good” people who occasionally do bad things.

      Anyone who is dissimilar to him and others in the ruling class are inherently “bad” people who may do good things but also of course usually do bad things.

      Bad people must be punished, or at least subjugated so they can earn the right to participate in a society supporting the good people. Good people shouldn’t get caught up in the occasional bad things they do.

        He genuinely believes that everyone that he associates with are inherently “good” people who occasionally do bad things.

        You really think his thought process is this deep? He just sees people as tools to be used and discarded.

          Nah. Thinking of people as tools to be used is the deeper thought process.

          He’s just stupid enough to think that he’s “good” and the people he likes are “good”.

      Nah, I don’t think Putin is that stupid.

      I mean I’m sure Putin is a scum bag just like the rest of them, but he’s not going to fly to a Kompromat farm controlled by his nation’s enemies.

      Probably one of the few people I’d expect not to be on the list. I wouldn’t be surprised he’s a child abusing pedo, but he doesn’t need to go halfway across the world to find vulnerable children the entire post soviet bloc is filled with them.

      Few weeks back the GOP led house oversight committee voted to subpoena the Epstein files. DNC members won the vote with GOP members who had publicly demanded the files release. The POS GOP chairman tried his slimiest to ignore the rest of the committe but was eventually brow beaten into submission -like the pathetic worm he is.

      This week they received the first batch of files and are reviewing them.

        Thanks for the synopsis, my fellow lemming.

        I wonder if them knowing the list of names makes this less likely to come out. If they see some big donor on there, it could be they start pretending there isn’t a list, too.

      Right? Headline should really read “Trump admits Epstein list is real, defends some of the people on it.”

        He is really worried about it - for sure. The amount of cover fire insanity has increased dramatically. I just can’t believe that out of all those FBI guys no one yet has leaked anything.

        Trump admits Epstein list is real

        1. List or files?
        2. How will we know when they are released? Is the claim they haven’t been released falsifiable?

        I think the list was really the fly log, and black notebook.

        Those already were published.

        But FBI has 700GB of files that trump promised to make available. Now that he closed the investigation workout charging anytime (Maxwell had trial during Biden) then there shouldn’t be problem to release it, shouldn’t it?

      They appear file-like.

      It’s a matter of interpretation.

      I was helping at a restaurant when I asked “What does C.C. mean on this order?”

      The waitress said, “Coca-Cola.”

      The hostess said, “Credit Card.”

      The cook said, “Chocolate cake.”

      The bartender said, Canadian Club."

      The accountant said, “Carbon Copy.”

      I always thought it meant cubic centimeters.
