I agree regarding the importance of the Epstein scandal. However I don't believe growing fascism to be a "distraction," Uncle Joe Aug 2025 #2
Interesting development for internal GOP war. The reasoning is pure Trump fascism but I can't say I'm sorry to see it LT Barclay Aug 2025 #3

Will the media bite or concentrate on the real story, which is Trump Epstein? Trump is clearly terrified that his past is catching up to him.

whether it's the current administration weaponizing the justice department and going after their political enemies, the increasing militarization of civilian life or the elimination of "due process."

When *rump was convicted of his felonies in court they bent over backward to give him due process.

I remember one analysis that said *rump came to power again because people voted out of anger instead of hope. Now *rump and his GOP comrades are trying to shift the primary emotion away from anger to fear, and I believe the only counter to that is for all the American People across the political spectrum; whether conservative, moderate, liberal or progressive to unite against a growing fascist threat to the nation.

I also believe that the corporate media is quiet capable of covering more than one story at a time if they choose to do so.
