Keep him talking about Epstein.
Yeah, this is the point in the police interrogation where the detective shrinks back, shuts up, and lets the recording soak everything up.
The demented rapist might perjure himself more critically if he keeps it up.
We have like 50 separate life sentences on this dude already. We don't need more evidence, we need someone to take action on the already cartoonishly large mountain of evidence that is on public TV.
There is also the slim chance that him worrying causes a cardiovascular event that fucking kills him. Slim, but probably more likely than anyone tangibly holding him to account.
Yeah, but then we have president JD. What we need is for Vance to snap, strangle Trump, get caught by Mike Johnson who he then uses his special anti-pope magic on to keep him quiet. Then in the power vacuum, America discovers we didn't need a president this whole time, and we spend the next few years getting to know ourselves.
It's the fantasy political thriller rom-com that could save the American movie industry.
If JD gets to be President, it'll be two weeks before an intern finds him sobbing in a closet.
The difference is that there's a section of MAGA that really, really cares about this. Not all of it, but enough to fracture the base.
Also, I don't think it's just Trump. This is an actual worldwide conspiracy of billionaires, and it's the one thing that could get eat the rich to cross political boundaries.
I mean I'm all for it, but from what I've seen, that's just now how it works. They've already got the legal pull to do what they want, including not having to actually answer for another election. This shit is over unless they are imprisoned or die.
