i say let a thousand crank conspiracies bloom, but actual lawmakers do not themselves need to be the cranks and it doesn't really help anyone if they are. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Counterpoint: MAGA doesn't care about other scandals. They care about Epstein

You don't need to be a conspiracy theorist to say Trump promised: to lower the cost of grocery on day 1 - he didn't to lower the price of gas - he didn't not to touch Medicaid - he did keep us out of foreign wars - he didn't and to release the Epstein files in full - he didn't Trump always lies

The painful lesson many Americans have learned is that there are enough cranks that organize, vote and spread the crankdom that they have sufficient political power to elect cranks. Education was always seen as the default remedy, but the cranks are aimed at that, too.

Alternative take: Dive headlong into making this the case of the century by holding Congressional hearings to discect every aspect in the open and with neither fear nor favor to all involved. Yank the mask that billionaires have used to keep this hidden and expose the rotting Dorian Gray underneath.

The party that stands up to what is clearly a demented and sociopathic collection of extreme wealth huddling to save their cannibalistic appetites will show themselves to be willing to fight the larger war against the plutocracy.

Let me get this straight. You want people to ignore trump raping little girls because we can get him on the emoluments clause? One of the dumbest takes heard in a while.

i want powerful people to not run with flimsy claims that he did that, yes. you can think what you want but no one's going to "get him" on this.

You’re the problem. You’re a (I’m assuming unintentional) trump apologist. There’s a video deposition from a woman who trump raped when she was 13. He had a long friendship and much time spent socially with Epstein. 1/2

He has discussed pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell. There was a client list and address book that had been referenced many times in media and in court documents that trumps admin suddenly says doesn’t exist. One more…

And that’s a partial list. At BEST, he is obstructing justice to protect a pedo with strong circumstantial evidence he’s doing it to protect himself. Not only that, this is one thing getting traction among the MAGA crowd, who say “I voted for that” when you list all the things you hate about trump.

I despise Felon47. I want to see him in prison. I believe he may have raped little girls, but in your own words the evidence is circumstantial. It won't stand up to a grand jury, much less a trial. We have to go full force on the crimes where we have irrefutable evidence.

the fact that the attorney general completely invented a piece of smoking-gun evidence that she now can't produce and acknowledges does not exist should be hugely damaging and something the opposition can work with...but you don't need to also pretend the evidence existed to do that.

but again, having said all this, it's very funny that they keep doing the equivalent of putting not just Allen Dulles, but also Sam Giancana, on the Warren Commission.

That raises the Courts' & Bar associations' giant failures: they have tolerated lawyers' public statements that are completely different in Court. The public rarely hears what's said in Court. It's the disconnect between trump losing 5 dozen lawsuits and election denial. Ethics discipline needed.
