Enough Epstein, Already

It would help if Trump would not keep making it worse. It has actually started to quiet down until he relit the fire blaming his supporters.

I agree completely.

His best strategy would be just let the fire die by not giving it fuel.

But Trump lives on immediate gratification which explains his obsession with poll numbers.

I think his emotional outburst today was triggering by some polling which he came across.

Pretty clear that the Biden DoJ created some fake Epstein records implicating Trump and other GOP officials and the fakes can’t be distinguished from the real ones. No choice now but to try to make the whole thing go away, no matter how suspicious it looks.

That's not "pretty clear." It's pure speculation.

“The mob defending Trump’s Epstein coverup on this forum the last few days has been very disappointing.”

The mob supporting democrats trying to derail his MAGA agenda has been very disappointing.

Public campaign speeches. Several times. Draining the swamp. Ending corruption, and specifically disclosing the Epstein records. Yes, he said those things.

I have never seen Trump with an obsession with poll numbers, but I have seen the media obsessed with poll numbers.

Trump is long term goal oriented.

Horrible point. We don’t have a democratic republic with Congress, et al, blackmailed. We need to get to the bottom of and end those practices with both our and the other/lead intel agencies involved.

“We told no video existed of Epstein’s cell. Then, we get one with a one to three minutes missing (depending one what source one believes).”

That looks like a copy/paste from your previous.

There is no video of his cell.

You never saw a video of his cell.

You’ll get a chance to vote for Kamala or Newsome next time.

The mob supporting democrats trying to derail his MAGA agenda has been very disappointing.

Both are problems Trump planted last spring, cultivated in the fall, and are now expecting to be harvested.

[TexasGator]

“Public campaign speeches. Several times. Draining the swamp. Ending corruption, and specifically disclosing the Epstein records. Yes, he said those things.”

He never said he would get all that done in his first six months.

His platform is his priority.

Quit trying to upset his MAGA agenda.

Life is not binary, my friend. False choice paradoxes are nothing but high brow temper tantrums.

[SaxxonWoods]

Gossip hounds hardest hit.

[Ge0ffrey]

Conservative bloggers are starting to become a collective hive mind.

[TexasGator]

“Life is not binary, my friend.”

Your posts are binary.

[blackdog]

Never trot out a binder. Mitt Romney proved that first, repeated by Trump. This mess is entirely his fiasco and his tantrums don’t change that. He put his agenda at risk.

[TexasGator]

So your excuse for being duped by the dems and disrupting Trump’s agenda is that Trump made you do it?

[TTFlyer]

Oh yes it is “binary”. Of these two candidates you may select only one:

Kamala Harris

Donald Trump

IF you REALLY want to know, FCI Tallahassee inmate number 02879-509 knows ALL.

[clintonh8r]

I agree. Setting aside the substance on this issue the communication has been amateur hour. Cleanup on Aisle 47.

"I believe it is a known fact that Trump has personally reached out to “influencers” and asked them to help make this go away. Asmongold mentioned this."

A World of Warcraft Twitch streamer? LOFL. Are you "influenced" by Deez Nuts or any of these other "influencers/gamers/attentionwhoremotards"?
