      So ignore everything else and talk about well horrible stuff. Nothing is going to come of it. The Epstein files have done absolutely nothing to them.

    His base will lap it up. Plus, it feeds the outrage machine that sustains him.

    Should knock Epstein out of the news cycle for at least a day or two.

    And the whole of our civilization slides further towards the Doom…

      Yep straight out of the P2025 playbook. It’s a shame we know that and yet every newsroom will still play into it.

    Michelle and Barack have both always polled much more highly than Trump. Sure it amps up his core base of bigots but what else does it really do?

    Edit: Oh of course it distracts us from his brownshirt thugs and Epstein files. I should know this play by now.

      The only common people left in MAGA are the people who would gleefully laugh at this.

      This isn’t their bottom, it’s their top. We need to act accordingly.

    Every press question to his regime for the next few days should be do you condemn the President posting a blatantly racist video against a former president. Every question to Trump should be are you a rascist, why did you post the video. Don’t actually care about the dementia ramble Trump will spout. Watching the rest of his regime bend over backwards to defend one president but not another will just be evidence for their future trials

      And by doing this, journalists would be taking the focus off:

      • The Epstein files
      • ICE
      • Election meddling
      • etc.

      That’s the plan.

        Everything is a distraction form everything else.

        There needs to be a hardline where pushback begins. Out and out racism seems like a good one based on the other things.

          I feel like that is very much the case, and yet its horrifying that it seems to work. Like, how does the average American hear horror story after horror story and not care. Each incident just makes him look worse and worse to me.

        Real journalists would be concentrating on the Epstein files instead of promoting the lies of a serial liar.

        I don’t follow TV media much, but every time I glance past it, I see stories about that one news readers mother being kidnapped. This country deserves everything it’s getting.

        Americans have been executed for so much less. I don’t even think this is a controversial statement.

        That would just be the justice system working as designed.

        Trump is a criminal who has committed first degree murder, is a traitor to the constitution, has raped children… the only reason it’s considered controversial to suggest the state should execute him is because he’s in charge, nothing more. Ethically and logically it’s a totally fair statement.

        Arrest him, have a trial, and if the evidence shows he is what we all think he is, then let him serve the same punishment as any other American would. And that would be treating him better than he deserves.

    In other news this page removed my criticism of Israel for “antisemitism” . I’m going to argue that racism is a much bigger problem in this country and criticism of Israel is not antisemitism because Israel is a country not a religion
