In a Truth Social post, Trump denied writing a letter to Jeffrey Epstein more than two decades ago that reportedly included an outline of a naked woman. In a separate post, Trump ordered AG Pam Bondi to seek the release of all 'pertinent' records from the Epstein grand jury. nbcnews.to/3GwtS5B

Trump's lawsuit will never get to discovery. His lawsuits never do. TACO.

Trump and Epstein's 'wonderful secret' in this letter becomes obvious now.

Please sue Trump, the letter and all the details will have to come out.

"I need to see the drawing of the naked woman with Trump's signature as her bush."

"Woman", in the 14-16 year old sense of the word.

I believe the WSJ allegation. It has Trump's long history as a pedophile backing it up.

Leaks are coming from the FBI. Because they still have integrity and honor hidden in spots within their ranks. www.dailykos.com

Remember the Access Hollywood tape and how Pres Trump described how he viewed women because of his ~star status?~

In his own words.

And your current alias' comment seems to equate Pres Trump's behavior with the Democrats your current alias seems to abhor?

That seems to be the case here.

Yup.

But, just look how far the MAGA folk have had to go back in time to attempt to rationalize what seems to be occurring in the GOP of late.

I mean, when I post YouTube links to songs from the 60's and 70's, I get grief for being ~ancient.~

But, as you note, whaddabouttedkennedyism seems to have an afterlife ...

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
[Verse]
Is there a fire in the sky?
Is there a moon up there?
Is there anything alive now?
This darkness is what I hear
This is a breathless silence
A moment out of time
I see your face in the shadows
The telltale signs are in your eyes

[Chorus]
More than I can hold in my hands
Running through the gaps like water
Aching with a passion inside
Deep as the river
All desire, the ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside and the light from you

[Verse]
Is there a flame in the dark?
Is there a bright hard star?
These creatures look the same now
We freeze wherever we are
We wake alone in the blackness
We sleep wherever we fall
One dream all around us
This big hush infects us all

[Chorus]
Holding up on animal fear
Soaking up the waves underwater
Turned to music no one can hear
Forever in this half light
All desire, the ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside and the light from you
All desire, the ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside and the light from you

More than I can hold in my hands
Running through the gaps like water
Aching with a passion inside
Deep as the river
All desire, the ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside
All desire, the ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside
Turning this night inside
Turning this night inside and the light from you
...
