Tucker Carlson must be desperate for attention again. Maybe the Kremlin has no more use for him.

Did they ever find the bullet that clipped the edge of the bulletproof screen and caused a shard that scratched Trump's ear.

A FRIEND

I agree.

It needs to be amended for clarification and modernization.

"Now he's up creek . . . and running for his life from the ghost of Jeffry Epstein.

Trump was just trying to pull a fast one to cover the cost of extending tax breaks to his wealthy friends.

It's not working. That means he has to lean harder on cutting Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, all with the sure-fire loss of both the House and Senate in the midterms.

Yes, he really is that dumb. He had no Plan B. Now he's up creek.

Trump withdrawing support doesn't seem to carry much weight these days.

Even some red states are refusing to gerrymander their maps for him.

Trump has opened up a can of worms with his demands and threats.

He'll brag about this nothingburger for weeks.

He creates a problem and then pats himself on the back for solving it..

If Trump ever started to tell the truth, his poll numbers would probably go up.

People understand to err is human. But not lying about it.

Of course, in Trump's case, telling the truth would be too little, too late. He's too far gone.

Greene isn't being entirely truthful. Now that she has abandoned her plans to run for Governor of Georgia (or President in 2028) she's well aware that continuing to support Trump will destroy her chances of holding onto her 14th district in Georgia for the U.S. House of Representatives.

If she can market herself as anti-Trump in Georgia to get re-elected, chances are she'll flip back for Trump, post-haste.

Once a flipper, always a flipper.

With Trump's poll numbers reaching impeachment levels (negative 33%), withdrawing his support for anyone is doing them a favor.

Trump is gearing up for the Insurrection Act.

The whole idea sounds ridiculous and dangerous.

Good article. Great insight of Epstein's methods to lure important people into his web.

Interesting, too, is how many of those "important people" were smart enough to avoid getting caught up in Epstein's blackmail trap.

Good Grief! The Trump administration must be getting desperate for distractions from the Epstein files.

I recall making a similar observation at the same time. Something along the lines of "Somebody is going to have to die. I just don't know who."

Well, now we do. In fact, when Epstein made that statement about being the only one who could bring Trump down, I think he signed his own death certificate.

CLOWN

"This shouldn't be news to anyone paying attention, but, Trump had Epstein killed "

After reading Epstein's statement that he was the one who could "take Trump down," I'm inclined to agree that Trump certainly had the motive and probably the means. So no, I wouldn't be surprised either. Trump is a NYC mobster at heart and that's what mobsters do.

EBERLY

Up to now I haven't been convinced that Trump had ordered Epstein killed. But after reading
Epstein's comment that he was the one who could "take Trump down," I'm changing my mind. Simply because (1) a very strong motive; and (2), Trump acts like a New York City mobster and I think he is certainly capable of murder.

"Trump is "very proud of the work the FBI is doing under Director Patel's leadership,"

Of course he is. Patel wasn't hired to be the FBI Director. Much like Pam Bondi, he was hired to answer the booty call every time Trump wants to screw the pooch, so to speak.

EBERLY

"Many women in fact do give their permission for it if it's handled with some discretion."

I agree with that statement. Trump's wife AND mother used sex for social climbing. But we're talking about servitude of minors here, not adult prostitution.

I can understand why affluence and friends in high places would be tempting. However, adding minors to the equation is another whole criminal risk factor called Pedophilia, the lowest of the low.

There's more to Epstein's enterprise than meets the eye. Perhaps even blackmail, something Trump is not above using himself after Epstein's death.

TRUTHHURTS

In your scenario, how does that apply to the House Oversight Committee's subpoena for unredacted documents directly from the Epstein Estate . . . which the House is gradually receiving, reviewing and disclosing any mention about Trump to the public?

Trump's usual response is "Hoax" like he thinks that settles everything.

Lack-a-nookie at home?

REDIAL

What I can't imagine is why intelligent professional men with so much to lose, allow themselves to get caught in this trap. Does it have something to do with a second childhood . . . redirection of blood supply . . . boredom . . the thrill of not getting caught? What am I not getting?

Fear is a tool that Trump has used consistently all his life.

REDIAL

If some of these "donations" are a result of blackmail, Trump has himself a permanent cash cow. Those who are guilty of dicky-dunking will stick to him like Gorilla Glue.

I can imagine the ripple of fear that runs through these VIP dicky-dunkers at the mere thought of disclosure. They'd be ruined.

JOHNNY47

"I'm eager to see the files and photos released. Wee-weese Epstein!"

You and everybody else who wasn't dunking his dicky in places it didn't belong.

The other list seems to be comprised of some VIPs who are paying Trump huge amounts to money to keep their lives from being ruined by disclosure.

Take that ballroom, for instance. Strange that so many VIP's are suddenly (and inexplicitly) donating $Millions$ to build a "ballroom" that is of no personal use to them. This could even lead one to suspect that Trump is resorting to blackmail.
