    They’re being so blatant with the “but look over there” dead catting, surely literally everyone can see through it now

      You’re underestimating the stupidity of the average Trump supporter, and don’t call me Shirley.

      The thought that’s been brewing in the back of my mind is what if they just decided to axe Trump for the Couchfucker and Epstein is the distraction while they’re doing God knows what. At least for the first time since the inauguration I feel like nobody’s interested in “what the other hand is doing”. Maybe I’m just paranoid though. Hard to gauge what’s within reason these days.

        I’ve been too lazy to post a comment like this for a week or so.

        (edit:) I wonder do the files matter? Those of us who have seen enough already to know Trump does heinous things won’t be more appalled, and the chance those who worship him will finally realize their error is tiny. If he’s in the files, I don’t think that’ll be the thing that makes the GOP throw Trump away.

        There’s also the possibility that there are no distractions. Everything this administration is doing is shitty. They are doing so much at once, overwhelming us, and hoping enough of it sticks.

          Yeah, honestly I don’t think Trump raping kids is enough to take him down. Even if it fully came out, I think his supporters would just shrug. If that was all that was in the files then I don’t think they’d be fighting as hard.

          I really think Trump was much more heavily involved. Not simply a client, but an active supplier and trafficker. That’s why they can’t release it.
