Strongman Trump's 'Forever Wars' All Come Back to Jeffrey Epstein

ON THE FRONT LINES
There’s nothing the president won’t do to launder his toxic reputation, but the kind of stains that come from a long-standing friendship with Epstein don’t wash out.


(snip)

The facts of what has unfolded to date in these wars make this clear. Trump and his team could not coherently express a rationale for entering into either “military operation.” They offered many possibilities, and spouted many blatant lies, but shifted between them carelessly as if they did not matter.

Because they did not matter.

(snip)

Why go to that trouble if there was nothing to hide? Why take the risk? What could be so grave that it warranted such behavior?

(snip)

This man who literally wraps himself in the flag and who, along with his aides, regularly touts their love of the military, views the entire massive U.S. defense apparatus as a prop, a personal plaything, an entity that exists not to defend the country, but rather to defend the president himself.

Whatever the cost. Whatever the lasting damage done. It doesn’t matter as long as people do not find out any more of the dark truth about who Donald Trump is, what he has done in his past, and why our worst fears about him may not go far enough in detailing his depravity and contempt for the law and human decency.

Why haven't we seen ONE tape of epstein island parties with little girls as entertainment?

Must be quite a show we aren't allowed to watch.

Does the trump have any roles in the films ...show the tapes

We already know Don Jr. met with Russian operatives prior to the 2016 election, that’s public knowledge.

And to top it off, the latest tranche of Epstein files revealed that in the months leading up to the 2016 election, Epstein colluded with Peter Thiel and Russia to rig it for Donald Trump. Then, on election night 2016, Epstein sent a one word email to Peter Thiel:

“Wow.”
