In the UK the Epstein scandal has brought down Prince Andrew

and their ambassador to the U.S., Peter Mandelson.

But here, in the land of the plea (bargains) and the home of the knaves, nada, not this year.

…though it’s anybody’s guess how much longer she’ll serve.

Also, and this is important — Trump and his pals, especially Speaker “Li’l Pervy” Johnson, are all real nervous whenever Epstein’s name is mentioned. I wonder why that is?

A few minutes ago.

We all thought trump ran for president because of Barack Obama. What if, even way back then, he was threatened by his past with Epstein and wanted to make it go away by becoming president.

They had two recent "summits" to bargain over them. Putin keeps raising the price.

There must be an Epstein component, but it eludes me.

As the Epstein Event Horizon approaches, Donald is going to pull more and crazier stunts.

Andrew is the first domino to fall.

ETA. Trump probably was a business partner with Epstein.

Good thread here. Keeping it kicked.

It never made any sense for Trump to get into politics. He was able to live a life where the world bought into the myth of his financial genius while his shady dealings were well hidden. He NEEDED political power and, of course, he chose the sleazy GOP. He said in the past that he was “mostly a Democrat.”
