The Republicans are once again dragging out the Clinton bogeyman to cover up Trump, who appears thousands of times in the Epstein files. Same worn-out recipe, invent a scandal to distract attention, hoping the public looks elsewhere while the real filth splashes all over them.

Half the world is now investigating Epstein, while America is covering it up. When the truth comes out (it will), Republicans are going to scatter like the pedophilia-protecting cockroaches that they are.

Don’t wanna tax the rich? Ok, then this whacko👇 takes your money and buys $100M supercar collection:
- McLaren F1 $25M
- Lamborghini Veneno Roadster $5M (1 of 9)
- Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita $4.8M
- Lykan HyperSport $4M

-> $10M for 5.3 acre estate
-> $45M for estate next door
-> $4M for estate across street
- NY: $80M for 3 adjacent apts

In other news, WE won’t apologize after we dominate the polls this fall and his ample ass is ultimately impeached and finally convicted and removed. I’ll even be happy to beat my pasty white chest like an ape just to rub it in to the orange guy’s face who abhors anything black and brown.

“It’s blindingly obvious that the Trump administration has no interest in our learning more about Epstein. It’s also blindingly obvious the web of corruption and complicity around Epstein was large and intricate, and that there is much more we deserve to know.”

In the US, they slink away while Trump admin deflects & delays

The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass.
As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

We need to start treating the Trump Epstein files like what they are, proof of the largest international sex trafficking ring and the vast expanse of conspiracy, complicity and coverup of the crimes against children by the richest, most powerful men and financial institutions in the world.

Okay ?

If you still support Trump and his administration, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.

I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity.

I judge you for your support of pedophilia, racism, treason & fascism.

So will others. So will history.

8. But the American people might.
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
