Distraction. Noise. People are twisting more than a room full of teens at 1950s sock hop.
This is what the Left is trying to get folks to focus on. Pressure needs to be kept up for a full disclosure, but the Left warts (like Mamdani) need to be focused much more.
When I saw Trump’s reaction two things were obvious. Trump is not part of the Epstein cesspool. Trump has no clue how important exposing the truth is to us.
Watergate was a stupid break-in distraction that ate Nixon’s lunch.
That's charitable. I don't think Trump is that dumb.
Sounds like Trump.
Isaiah 10:1-2 highlights God’s displeasure with rulers who exploit the vulnerable and turn a blind eye to evil doers. Wicked rulers can bring national suffering and divine judgment.
It’s not bigger than the elimination of vote cheating, the codification of immigration restrictions, DOGE spending cuts, a ban on environmental extremism, and a statutory repeal of DEI.
Good post—agreed on both points.
Epstein is more important to some people than others.
I am in the camp that thinks it is critical to everything that is wrong with government and must be dealt with—and that means brutal transparency and accountability.
In other words I take the position that used to be held by the President, VP Vance, AG Bondi, FBI Director Patel, FBI Deputy Director Bongino, White House Counsel Alina Habba.
...but there are many folks around here who disagree and think it is a “distraction” and “old news” and “keep your eye on the policy ball”.
Good list—what is our status on those anyway?
The DOJ multitasks well.
It can do a thousand things at once, but hay, I guess this one thousand and first thing is just not important enough for some reason.
They aren’t trying to sweep anything under the rug. There are bigger fish to fry and they suddenly don’t multitask well anymore /sarc
The bottom line:
The unequal can’t tolerate the ignominy of being the unknowing.
....Especially when they can openly criticize their more attractive better
Bonding should appoint an independent special prosecutor, and one her critics would applaud.
Then a year from now after that critic-prosector examines everything in the files and examines witnesses, and in the end concludes Bondi is today not wrong, what will the critics say?
Tbey’ll say it’s another coverup.
The government is translucent.
Secrecy is a necessary function of government. Therefore, full Transparency is not required
You won’t find a better explanation and summary of how the right feels about Epstein than Liz Wheeler’s appearance on Megyn Kelly’s show yesereday. Everyone should watch it - if for no other reason than to understand what the “binders” meeting was actually all about.
Liz explains is perfectly: this is not just about Epstein, it’s about the need for JUSTICE. For everything, all the damage and harm that’s been inflicted from Obama on (and even before). We’ve been fed one shit sandwich after another and the common factor is - the worst evil doers NEVER get held accountable, and are NEVER punished.
Now it feels like we’ve being fed the same diet by Trump’s own Attorney General and that’s what this is about. Justice!
Trump is very well tuned-into his base and if he doesn’t understand what this is really about and get ahead of this debacle, it will be the biggest misjudgement of his career.
Your point is totally valid.
Unfortunately when the survival of the administration is at stake a few rules may need to be broken.
The anti Bondi crap is jealousy personified. Many can’t stand the fact she is not bending low to satisfy their low priority demands
Yeah, he used to tout Operation Warp Speed until someone pulled him aside and told him the clot shot did a lot of damage and touting it wasn’t helping him. His son convinced him to do Rogan. I think this is another case of him not getting it.
He’s been teasing JFK, MLK and other types of transparencies. Nothing really so far. Average people have been lied to and played for so long and Trump dangled hope that maybe we could get right with our governed for a change.
He may come around this weekend. Who knows?
Good summary.
The left used to have a slogan: “No justice no peace.”
Some on the right have adopted it this week.
