So the Epstein survivors will sit in the balcony, no one except a few people who know who they are will notice them or know their significance.

They need to stand up, wave banners; Democrats should stand up, shout, drown out Trump; force him to face them and address them.

But that won't happen. Democrats are too goddam nice. And we say, well, shit, if we do that, what will they do to us? who gives a fuck what they will do to us BECAUSE THEY WILL DO THAT NO MATTER WHAT WE DO.

Democrats need to interrupt Trump, the survivors need to stand up and call out their names and what Epstein did to them, be dragged out by the Capitol Police. Drown out Trump -- interrupt him, drive him crazier than he already is, force him to drop his script and show the world what a deranged old fool he is.

But it will never happen.
