Of course I have no direct evidence of Epstein being allowed to be killed other than common sense. I thought of this analogy to surmise what I see happening on these very big issues.
Imagine Trump the real estate developer who has done extraordinary things probably often in the face of very difficult odds. Well he sets his sights on buying The Empire State Building and has it all but sewed up when he sends his number one closer in to finish the deal.
That night the closer and Trump meet and Trump asks the closer if he now owns the Empire State Building. And the closer replies, “No, but I did get you a 7-11 on the next block”.
How would that fly with Trump? Well, Barr is his closer on the coup attempt and the Epstein case. And it looks like we are getting a 7-ll instead of the Empire State Building and this time Trump is okay with it for some reason. I hope I am proved dreadfully wrong and feel free to come back and riddle me with harassment if so. It would be one time I would welcome harsh words.
I never doubted for a moment you would be voting for Trump, FRiend bramps.
I don’t think your analogy holds up, however. It might if the Epstein case was the only thing going on in this bizarre and convoluted drama of “swamp draining.” But as you surely realize, this war is being fought on multiple fronts.
That’s why I wasn’t terribly upset when DOJ passed on prosecuting Comey for leaking. FISA abuse promises a more interesting trial and more chance for a conviction that could carry some serious prison time while providing an object lesson to the public. I’m willing to wait on this one.
And I should note that as pleasant as it is to contemplate James Comey hanging from a lamppost, there are other things happening that surely must become higher priorities than prosecuting Leftists.
Above all, Trump must complete his hostile takeover of the GOP and transform it into a populist-nationalist-traditionalist coalition.
Free-market purists and establishment time servers will be welcome to get with the new program — thanks for all the judges, Sen. Mitch — but the GOP must become emphatically the party of middle-class Americans. In other words, the party of the people who do the work that keeps this nation going.
The USA is a big shiny stockpot, and the good, strong broth is all in the middle. That leaves the commieRAT party to represent the scum at the top and the dregs on the bottom.
And the second overriding goal must be to neutralize the commieRATs to the point where their numbers in Congress, state legislatures, and even local administrations, are depleted to the point where all they can do is bitch, moan, and blurt out sound bites.
That’s one reason I love it when Trump attacks some Leftist traitor either from the podium or on Twitter. Not only is he educating Joe and Jane Citizen, he’s more often than not practicing misdirection on both the RATs and their media allies.
Ask yourself: What’s more important, the emotional satisfaction of seeing traitors like Comey imprisoned, or building a durable populist-nationalist-traditionalist coalition that can keep this nation safe for generations to come?
If I had to choose one alternative, I know which one I’d pick. Of course, I’d like both, but we don’t always get what we want in this life. As adults — and especially as mature conservative adults — we surely must realize this.
