I am as gleeful as any never-Drumpfer about the pushback-cannibalism from the maga-acolytes and co-cabalists. Let it rain, let it snow, let it lightening, let it storm well beyond the news cycles and eventual scapegoat firings or suicides.

However, I don't align with your multiple declarative statements about there never having been an or multiple Epstein files and dossiers.

Of course there are! His backers and the FBI and Mossad and many gangsters have pieces.

The half-hearted effort to wish them away and blame Con Blondie and the cannibalism from her fellow incompetent but loyal to Donnie cabinet members stinks of yet another spontaneous distractive canard, and one that comes from higher than the chief taco.

No surprise that Netanyahu needed to come have a sit down and lean heavily on the young master asset to shut the conversation about transparency and release down, NOW! We don't give a fuck about how you do it, just get it done. Collateral damage to some of your dug-up-from Fox-and-Florida-underlings be damned. (And they know about collateral damage real good.)That's why they were put there.

The underlying motivation being the files are real, extant, and form a fair percentage of the extortion dossier that has provided the leverage to have their <insert country here> Candidate receive endless get out of jail cards to keep him viable for this major potus/dictator/coup con of all.

Your other points about collapse of the gang I'll enjoy and support and raise my beaker of schadenfreude.

But to give the 'truthy' words of Pamela Bondi any merit of truthiness is beyond palatable, and leans more at apologetic propaganda.

The files do exist. What she might have said is:

"I have never had the actual files - and have been told to tell you that they don't exist."

Now that would be as good a revelation to bring the house down as Christine Keeler did in Canada.

And it could be much more of a contribution from her to the country than the entire body of her career work to this date. Unless your perspective is skirting the law to protect the bigger cosplayer; in which case she done good.

Laissez les bon temps rouler.

Oh, I was more trying to iterate more to the point that the MAGA base both believe and DISBELIEVE They exist and weirdly random times. The article is focused on THEIR beliefs not my own. If you read todays article.....not only do I assert they exist, but I again further assert that DONALD TRUMP is actually in them. And all the deflection and anger and rage baiting that we are seeing is the result of his fear they will get out.

Insightful take!

There are a few paragraphs’ worth that appear more than once, word for word. My guess is that you relocated those words and forgot to delete them at their original location. (Eh *shrug* It happens to the best of us.)

Of course there are many other issues which need addressing, but those issues are not going to be addressed by the regime which continues to create them and inflame them. I'm surprised that you think that evidence of some sort does not exist which would expose many of Epstein's co-criminals and bring some justice to their victims.

Dang-this is an excellent explanation of how the idiots have been tricked and spoon-fed the lies!

BEST of the many takes I've read - your exposition really got me into the MAGA MELTDOWN mindset... I could truly feel their pain! They're pathetic. 😆

Do the Republicans think we have lost our minds? Shit! Don't they remember that Barry Goldwater said he didn't care if a guy was gay or not if as long as this person has his or her back? I am so freaking out about having my husband have to have his citizenship papers with him

Bongino took a MIA day not out of higher principle but because the shit hit the fan and his name tag says "Deputy Director of the FBI." MAGA rodents want to eat his fugly face and he's afraid.

Why do you believe her when she says there is no file, list, etc.? OF COURSE there's a ducking file! She can't release it because her tRumpty-dumpy boss is head of the list!

Unless, of course, she just made it disappear.

Black book, file, list. You can't tell me there's not more than one. Lurking in Shitwad's bathroom; languishing in one or more laptop; lining the pantyhose in Pam Bondi's underwear drawer. Just saying.

Just call me Paula Alquist. There are Epstein files, there are no files. Orange Felon is up to his ass in Epstein (and will skate yet again) but Pam Bondi (who did nothing wrong?) is getting nailed. But she said there was a client list but now not? And anyway isn’t she a lying, corrupt c#*t who deserves what she gets anyway? The video of Eptstein cuts at a crucial moment. It’s doctored - oh my god - but actually it’s not really doctored in THAT way. Or what? There’s so much drama and tension coming from the media that ultimately goes nowhere -my cortisol levels are through the roof then crash - yeah MAGAs are in a spin but I’m a little untethered myself.

The one thing that doesn't quite fit is where His Nibs claims that the files exist and were written by Barrack and Hilary. That suggests to me that the people mentioned in the files that may not exist are Trump and company.

This is pure poetry that I wish was actually happening - literally: “the faithful have turned their weapons inward and are systematically blowing each other's fucking brains out over a dead pedophile and a bunch of files that apparently don't exist”. Such a fucking disappointment the AR’s weren’t pressed into service this weekend. Hell Bondi can immunize me in Purge New Founding Fathers fashion. Believe me, I’d love to have immunity to blow MAGA brains out. Such a quick and easy solution to their very existence. God Bless America - A Nation Reborn.

Refresh...I posted galleries of all the MAGAs on Truth Social who are begging him to release the client list and turn against him.
