The Epstein Class, the self appointed aristocracy, who buy the elections, rigged the laws, and launder the money for sex trafficking , are still running the nation.

When it costs over $2 million average to elect a congressman we get an Epstein class of politicians. Is that not so?

Indeed, extortion is the life blood of Trump's consciousness. It is the only social currency he is comfortable and capable of using.

Trump is proving to be an archetypal human monster, thoroughly psychopathic, capriciously sadistic, and ever stoking his insatiable narcissism, avarice, and lascivious primordial instincts.

Lacking the most basic moral compass, he anoints his every utterance as a new gospel, spoken with reverence, firmness and shared revelation. Only he can be our savior and redeemer. Only he can separate truth from fiction, and only he can save his nation from the damnation of infidels.

Yet, permeating through his kaleidoscopic menagerie of pomposity and false virtue, the fetid stench of his corruption, sexual abuses, greed, and stupidly bleeds through a vanishing veil of authoritative power.

As the consequences of this administration's drunken fascist orgy, the reality of its destruction is squarely upon us, left in free fall, absent any sober adult in the room. At long last, reality will be the final arbiter of truth. Donald Trump, it is now time for you to meet the American People.

I hate that Schumer et al folded but I hate that people were starving, cold and alone. I hate that the shutdown was used to hurt people. Reopening the dysfunctional government got the petition signed, yes, but it also got services put back into place for the neediest. Now, as the caravan slowly get on its feet to meet the desert winds, we enter another new Epstein chapter. Let's make sure we get all the rats, all the men who blithely abused young girls, someone's daughter, helpless young people who found their worth was in their bodies, not in their essence. Virginia Guiffre pretty much sums up the men who came through the Epstein world: lots of academia, politicians, tech bros, scientists and money movers. Epstein was the devil tempting men to see how many he could load onto the bus to hell. Let them rot there. All of them. No on should be above this behavior. No one involved should be protected. Protect the children, how about that?

Trump lies in an interview with Fox. Where's the Democrats' response correcting these lies? (Crickets)

Patience is a virtue. TY for the protests ,consistency is required. Strive for truth always.

Is the lesson learned? How many new lies will it take for the Art of the Steal to hang on while gathering yet more ‘math’ before he/they ‘skip the country’ -skipping the prison terms, skip and slip the noose they made?

The list to correct , to “straighten out” … loopholes and liars ….is long. Painfully pointed out over many years and such a sly slow setup it was..not the first/hardly the last ..as ‘we the people’ want hope ..and it sells silently covered in cloaks of deception and buries the innocent by the thousands…so thou$and$ can be garnered for the moored ..the greedy. Our history as so many other’s eventually ‘comes out’ .

Has it ever been any different?

TY Mary for the eloquence-posts putting proper perspective- on such an old game.

BRAVO 👏
