- My guess is Trump

Not sure I even knew Barnum was a politician until TFDNihilist brought it up.

Thanks for filling in the blanks; seems like he was a mixed bag of contradictions.

- Congress should server the people who elect them?

Congress now serves the Billionaires and Corporations that buy elections for them.

Until that changes, Corrupt Gov biased towards the Bosses is our future.

MAGA splitting. They were all in on the Pedo Pizza Ring run by Hillary, and they are all pumped up to be anti-Pedo, because that's an easy call.

No way they can fold now... ok, maybe way. They are still in a Cult.

"The late Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre claimed that she was forced to have sex with Dershowitz on Epstein's private plane.

While he denied the claim, he did admit to getting a massage while at Epstein's house, although he stated that he kept his underwear on and did not enjoy it."

Dirty Dershowitz.

"Emeritus Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz entered the latest public spat around the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his friendship with President Donald Trump by arguing that Epstein wasn't all that bad.

Speaking with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation on Friday, Dershowitz thought it prudent to clarify the nature of Epstein's crimes.

"The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile," Dershowitz complained to Cuomo.

"[Epstein] pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That's not a pedophile."

;;

"While Epstein is alleged to have committed far more numerous and wide-ranging crimes, the case Dershowitz is referring to is that of his 2008 plea deal, under which he served 13 months (of an 18-month sentence) in a work-release program.

However, that investigation began after accusations were made about his interactions with a 14-year-old girl, and federal officials identified 36 similarly aged girls whom Epstein allegedly abused.

Epstein pleaded guilty to the two relatively minor crimes of prostitution and soliciting a minor for prostitution in Florida in order to avoid federal charges.

A 2020 Justice Department report into the case found "poor judgment" was made in giving Epstein a sweetheart deal at the time."

: 'Quiet Piggy'

The hog calling the pig fat... hog that never shuts up himself.

eberly in action as Mr Republican tweener is pretty funny to watch.

He's left of Trump and right of the Lincoln Project. That's what passes for a Centrist in the GOP these days, lol.

#2 Absolutely.... and the rest of the country and the world see him getting away with and so they do the same.

War is a Racket.

So is MAGA.

- guilty by association

Trump has a very very close association with a lying, raping, fraudulent, criminal traitor... and the murderer of 600,000 people this year, 2/3rds of them children; himself.

The idea that he is someone who would have taken advantage of his close association with the Pedo Pimp isn't any stretch of credulity, especially considering that he IN FACT FAILED TO TURN EPSTEIN IN WHEN he 'knew about the girls' and didn't 'bark'.

I don't know if you are more a religious hypocrite or a Trump Cultist, but both is a very disturbing combination.

I take my cues from JC, who fed the poor and the immigrant stranger, and saved his vitriol not for sinners or the Roman Gov, but for religious hypocrites who's morals were non-existent and who misled the people about God.

It's only 'garbage politics' because your Cult Leader's name is all over it... if it were Hunter Biden, you would be calling for his castration.

You really shouldn't lie to people here, BJ. You are nowhere near bright enough to get away with such pathetic shilling.

As bad as Trump's Best Friend was, Epstein said that Trump was, 'the worst person I've ever known.'.

Imagine how bad that must be.

"The Russians are using 6000 glide bombs per month," Serhiy Kuzhan, a Ukrainian defence analyst, told the BBC.

"It would be important to have a French air to air system, with a 200km range, because Russians have their own system with a range of 230km."

It's a long term deal with limited immediate help, but better than nothing.

"Shares are down almost 70 percent since the beginning of the year, and down over 80 percent since hitting a record high following the merger last year during the runup to the election. The firm merged with blank check acquisition company Digital World Acquisition Corp. in March 2024, allowing it to be publicly traded under the ticker DJT.

The value of the stock is hovering at just $10.73 at the time of writing, barely above Digital World Acquisition Corp.'s October 2021 initial public offering.

The company has spent tens of millions of dollars on building out its ailing social media business while revenue has flatlined.

According to a recent statement obtained by Bloomberg, TMTG lost a staggering $55 million over the three months ending on September 30, as well as abysmal net sales of less than $1 million over the quarter. It has yet to return a profit."

Ha... losing money in the Casino bidness was good training for losing money in the media bidness.

And just look at how much money the country is losing... it's crashing on about the same trajectory.

- Or are they just waiting for the highest bidder to sell the rights to their story?

Things a piece of barely human garbage would say about a 1,000 sexually violated young girls and women.

Disgusting Cult behavior, and the furthest thing from any religious belief.

- Or are they waiting for the highest bidder.

Obviously the Christian thing to say.... OK, the White Nationalist MAGAnite thing to say.

- the progressives hated of Trump that's pushing this

Apparently House Republicans beg to disagree... and Thomas Massie and MTG (Rs) led the charge.

- lying all the time

Anyone concerned about people who lie all the time couldn't be a Trumper... here's a quick example, two recent whoppers out of over 30K documented lies:

"Jocularity!"

"Insisting "I DON'T CARE!" in a late-night Truth Social post, Trump was bowing to the inevitable " a broad House Republican mutiny on a vote that was only scheduled because Massie forced it.

It was the result of Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) launching a discharge petition aimed at sidestepping senior GOP leaders who desperately wanted to avoid bringing the issue to the House floor.

The campaign to avoid the vote got remarkably ugly in the days before Trump finally conceded, with the president personally attacking Massie for recently remarrying after the sudden death last summer of his wife of more than 30 years."

;;

Much more at the thread link... Trump is funding a replacement for Massie in his Red District, but that's not going well either.

Dotard is just confused again... he keeps thinking these are Piece Prizes like he used to get at Cheerleader Model Shows.

"The exchange took place nearly three weeks after Trump's first inauguration on Jan. 20, 2017.

Epstein told Summers in the alleged email, "Recall ive told you,, -- i have met some very bad people ,, none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body.. so yes- dangerous,"

Heartbreaking video... and then to think of what the Pimp Perp Epstein said about Trump, 'he's the worse person I've ever known'.

#12 was for #10 aka FPus

You mean the things you hate?
