venezuela wasnt about epstein, it was about jack smith.

[mopinko]

and it worked. testimony dumped on nye, then this insanity. not a coincidence.
cuz all we’d all b talking about today, on the anniversary, wd b jack smith’s testimony w/o this colossal distraction. instead, it’s an after thought, even here. even in stories about that day.

it worked like a fucking charm.

eta- since folks r missing the point- i’m talking about the timing here.

[jmbar2]

1. i think it's about Putin

In exchange for help getting elected, he has agreed to the Russian and Chinese concept of "multipolarity" - dividing the world into 3 regions, controlled by each super power. Russia gets Europe, Chinese gets Asia, and the US gets the Americas, Canada and Greenland. They can only achieve this by overriding democracies.

That was the original concept behind Putin's 2014 invasion of Ukraine, and China's strategic claims throughout Asia.

Not sure how they plan to divvy up Africa.

2. i think it is a deal w putler, but the timing is about jack smith.

[Justice matters.]

5. Russia can't get Europe.

Can't even get Ukraine since four years.

France has "independent" nukes... although they should never have to use them.

3. Oil, always follow the money

4. It's even more blatant than that.

Trump revealed that the attack was planned for a few days earlier. Someone forgot to tell Jordan to hold the release of Smith's testimony when the attack was delayed. The intended timing was to be simultaneous.

6. Either/Or Still the same shit bag.

7. They can walk and chew gum at the same time.

They can cover up two scandals at once.

8. Adam Kinzinger would agree. He says Trump is trolling us about Greenland.

An excellent analysis here:

13. headline sponge. great term.

[summer_in_TX]

16. Trump may not be really serious about Greenland - yet.

I have little doubt he will eventually try. But right now? Probably not.
Greenland is no Venezuela with a criminal dictator. Even many in his own party strongly oppose it.

9. It's about all of the psychopathy in the administration.

[UTUSN]

10. K&R

[Redleg]

11. I think the timing of it might have been about Jack Smith's testimony

But the actual intent goes back farther.

[mopinko]

12. they have a stack of plans, like they have a stack of eo's.

ready to pull out when they want to change the news cycle.
each worse than the last.

[Kid Berwyn]

14. Trump is a traitor.

Stupid has a shit-ton of co-conspirators who do the thinking and carry out the screwing. May the day soon come when Jack Smith reviles his indictments.

Guy is clearly an excellent prosecutor. May Smith also get the opportunity to expand the People’s investigation of trump to include criminality with Epstein.That’d be Justice.

[mopinko]

15. hopefully he prosecutes him

when he finally gets dragged to the hague.
