If you lie down with dogs ...



If you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas, truer words never spoken when it comes to Trump and Epstein, best friends forever in the 2000's though Agent Orange said he didn't even know the guy. 

Cult loyalty is blind until it isn’t. Donald Trump’s populist truth test now seems to be at hand. Whether or not the “Epstein files” exist is secondary. Trump and his leading henchmen stoked a frenzy about the cover-up of material relating to the late convicted sex abuser’s allegedly complicit circle of friends. Now they say that they have nothing to show. “We will bring justice to the pedophiles!” has been replaced by: “Move along, nothing to see.” On this occasion, however — and for the first time in a serious way — the Maga cult is not obeying orders.

Indeed, it looks even worse than that for Trump. For years he insisted there was a deep-state plot that only he could expose. Many of his leading backers, notably Kash Patel, who now heads the FBI, and the attorney-general, Pam Bondi, presented the Epstein files as a defining example of establishment depravity. Now they say it was fake news. But Trump is messing up their U-turn. Last weekend he claimed that the Epstein files did exist after all but had been concocted by Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden — as well as former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and other familiar suspects.

So what are the odds of Jeffery & Ghislaine having a list along with videos to detail the horrors of child sex trafficking. Pretty high IMHO as evil as these people were and are, stupid is not part of their equation. Like toothpaste, the truth eventually comes out. For the Donald, the hope for a quick fade away can't come soon enough but child abuse is the one crime not tolerated in prison or in the minds of folks like yours truly and ... of course, the MAGAs.
