Sometimes it's helpful to step back and restate the obvious. Trump/JD Vance spin on Epstein falls apart because they're saying two things at once: 1) What's in the Epstein files will exonerate Trump and show it all to be a Dem/media hoax 2) No we won't release the Epstein files

It doesn't fall apart for MAGA. Fascists see double standards and contradiction as virtues, not logical fallacies. The purpose is dominance. To enjoy for themselves what they deny others, brings them pleasure. A rejection of "all men are created equal". They support and defend tyranny.

It’s the Roy Cohn thing - never admit guilt, always double down. It allows one to operate without conscience, which makes one feel so powerful.

You’re exactly right. It’s like when a theory is disproved, that means it must be true! I see it all the time. It’s not logical. They don’t care if they get caught; they just don’t like getting punished, and they pretty much never do.

This impugns those who coddle, forgive in advance, and continue to invite them to the usual social functions. That is permission. It helps normalize the depravity by accepting their dominance and our submission to it, through no accountability.

The brave do what needs to be done, kick Trumpers to the curb where they belong. Not to dominate them. They are equals. Nevertheless we must completely reject their bullshit, or else submit to it. Even at the permanent expense of relationships.

If you are as corrupt as the Trump administration you can "corrupt" your way out of anything, or at least try. I think at some point they'll release something they sell as "the Epstein files" and magically, there will be no mention of Trump in any of the documents. This is why the R's are taking /1

Aren't they insinuating that the Epstein Files will be damning to Trump because they're a Dem hoax? It's an admission that they make him look bad the same way the Steele Dossier did. There is more ground to be gained here by pointing out that the Epstein Files are the work of his own first-term DOJ.

And #5: (See #3 and #4 below) The only way Trump could maybe get out of this, is by releasing Epstein's full clients list. Anything else would be like goading a Great White with bloody chum, then offering it apple pie. You better have a seal handy, or else you will have a pissed Great White.

The sad truth... It's confirmed that Pam Bondi told Trump that he appears in the Epstein files multiple times. Watch Trump release list of names from Maxwell but omit his own, despite confirmed inclusion. The media will fail to challenge him and will likely concentrate on the names Maxwell provided
