It's actually from 2016. But until we see all the Epstein files anything about Trump's pedophilia is still topical.

What's newsworthy is that Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and still was president thanks to the Electoral College. Our efforts to bypass are ongoing: www.nationalpopularvote.com

I hope a lot of MAGA people are weighing the same concept.

Apparently they're trying social media scare tactics too.

I too wish you were wrong, but from what I see of the few MAGA people in my circles, you're spot on. Their selfishness, more than their gullibility, is what made them MAGA in the first place. That is not going to change, it will simply push them in a new anti-Trump direction. The GOP will stay.

This is just the perfect encapsulation of the GOP's place in the world: A violent waste of time, made to made to sell worthless entertainment to vacant eyeballs.

Too bad his time in politics is not a "short term experience".

You still read the WaPo? It's a Fox News wannabe at this point.

Thanks for sharing it though. I keep hoping to see it self correct, but little sign of that yet.

Funny, they hardly ever mention the Trumpstein files.

It sounds like something DJT Inc would come out with: stupid and counterproductive.

Congress is functionally the Duma now. Putin controls Krasnov, and Krasnov controls Congress.

The list of impeachable offenses keeps growing Nixon couldn't have dreamed of all of Trump's abuses of power.

Nixon could not have dreamed of such a revenge-fest.

IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE, IMPRISON

The GOP will protect him until the bitter end, and Trump will do anything to stay in power. We're all in the crosshairs of NSPM-7 and the militias are going to go wild. But it's the fight of our time and we better be up the task. Like Jan 6, this is a trial run.

350,000 peoples’ lives hang in the balance. A majority entered the U.S. legally and have never been in violation of any immigration law. They’ve had to go through multiple background checks. And yet they’re hanging on by a thread, even though the situation in Haiti hasn’t gotten any better.

“Stand down and standby” are the scariest things I’ve ever heard of President say about a militia.

We are addicted to shock and awe. Never mind the environmental and human consequences.

That’s what we get for electing a fascist, racist, pedophile.

Even without a terror event, the GOP will allow martial law and ICE agents at poll stations. The SAVE act is just the beginning. Voter suppression will prevent mail in ballots, lines in Dem areas will be many hours long. Trump will stop at nothing to stay in power and out of jail.

I think Iran has been planning this since Trump was elected. They knew he would do something evil.

This crossed my mind as well. It would also explain the appointment of a complete neophyte (Markwayne Mullin) as Secretary of Homeland Security.

Exclusive | Epstein prison guard googled him minutes before his body was found — and made mysterious deposit days before his suicide: DOJ Tova Noel was one of the two Metropolitan Correctional Center workers accused of falsifying records to say they checked on Epstein throughout the night before his suicide.

Nothing to see here!

We might not be able to nail him on taxes, but the Epstein files still give me hope.

I want Obama to go on the attack full time. FFS, it was the Birthers that gave Trump his start in national politics.

That’s what happens when you put the president above the law. Of course only GOP presidents need to be above the law.

A scapegoat in the making.
