OK so Trump's name is on the List. According to the WSJ Bondi told him this some time ago. A fairly common reaction I'm seeing though is why does it matter? I'm seeing this at some conservative blogs I peruse from time to time like the Left is using this against Trump and that's all it is but the Democratic chef at work yesterday who hates Trump with a passion also said he's tired of hearing about Epstein and everyone knows he cheated so what does it matter? There's some serious conflation going on here. People are putting this on the same level as if Trump made numerous visits to the Playboy Mansion and played polo ponies with Hef and made business deals in the grotto. Epstein/Maxwell involved sex trafficking of underage girls on a mass scale which by definition involves lack of consent. It's like I remember some comedian I forget the name and he made fun of what he called Japanese creepy porn and said they look like they're not enjoying themselves. So with Epstein we were not dealing with high-priced consenting escorts but very young girls probably under duress.
Tired of the Epstein Files? You risk looking like a perv. It matters. The Left had nothing to do with it. The deification of Trump is weird and cultlike. We like to deal with facts here.
The strategy seems to get a 'all clear' statement from Ghislaine, who will receive a pardon. Seems gauche, but typical. I'd hold out for a few hundred statements from the young women victims. BTW, here in Idaho, they put Kohberger in the slammer for 4 consecutive life terms, he deciding the firing squad was a bit scary.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Idaho has a low crime rate but they have crime that is more strange. That Lori Vallow end times prophecy case for example. Over in NYC they just push people off the subway platform.
DeleteOne of our presidents had 3 wives - 2 were immigrants from behind the Iron Curtain. Same guy deports immigrants by the thousands. Wanna guess who? Who will take over Homan Team 6 Commando Team, now that Hulk is underground?
ReplyDeleteIs he gonna have SCUMBAGS on his tombstone?
DeleteYall, it's just too hot here. Apparently some of the maga faithful are turning on Trump but as I was told by a devotee, "if you are TRUE maga, it doesn't matter". That's some scary stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou see that I don't understand. This is not about consenting adults, let your freak flag fly. Serious crimes were committed. MAGA is getting that Jim Jones kind of vibe to it. Will probably be listed as a cult someday.
ReplyDeleteTrue believers bought the Hillary pedophile operation in a Pizza place basement. So they will believe the Epstein Assistance For Troubled Girls, just like they believe 'Masterpiece Theatre' on PBS is a communist plot. If you try to think like they do, the side effects read like a drug commercial.- tinnitus, gum destruction, blindness, vomiting, paralysis, angina and frequent death. But they see the light.
ReplyDeleteThey would have worshiped Jim Jones.
Some people still believe in Pizzagate BB. To this day. Not being that familiar with it I brushed up on it one day. At best always seemed weak and vague to me. Somebody ordered a pizza with anchovies or mushrooms and it was supposed to be a code for something. Never fully understood it.
ReplyDeleteA conspiracy theory taken very seriously -

Wanna bet the masked ICE men refused to wear a mask during covid?
ReplyDeleteCovid is coming back around. Get a booster before RFK makes them illegal. Then if measles doesn't get you, covid will. Its like that book or song or movie, I don't know which, 99 ways to die.and most of them easily preventable. Personally I can't wait for polio.
ReplyDeleteProbably weren't into the covidian shuffle either of standing 6' apart.
ReplyDeletePizzagate - more open-minded than you about conspiracy theories but if it's very low on the plausibility scale it's a non-starter for me. I'd sooner believe the government has a Bigfoot doing custodial work at an army base in SC.
ReplyDeleteCovid has consistently had a less than 1% mortality rate as per the CDC. It's just that because of its high contagion rate when you crunched the numbers the deaths turned out to be high. Basic math but it's not Ebola. Also basic epidemiology a virus will eventually mutate over time to become more contagious but less virulent so as to not kill the host. Then again I don't have stock in Big Pharma:)
ReplyDeleteI dont know. I worked with people who died. When a million people are dead statistics don't matter.
ReplyDeleteI read a theory about that early on. Many health care workers did die but they were around covid and people with covid far more than the average person just by the nature of their jobs. The explanation goes it's like they were shoveling covid into their mouths. It wasn't like somebody passing somebody else on the train but it was day in and day out. Like I don't know let's say you're around somebody with the flu vs. you're around ten people with the flu. I love these medical discussions. Could start a medical blog Stranded in Civilization MD.
ReplyDeleteSo many things to worry about. Now apparently it's my social and civic duty to step on the Spotted Lanternfly.
ReplyDeleteThere is a debate among virologists whether the pests are even living things. They are complex molecules which can only reproduce in a host cell, unlike prokaryotic bacteria and immune to penicillin etc.
ReplyDeleteOne good defense against virus is the vaccine, Otherwise we are stuck fighting with the symptoms - not the cause. (Unless you are RFKJr or a witch doctor.)
I swear you sound like Dietrich on Barney Miller.
ReplyDeleteSo the former Kennedy Center is now the Melania Center. Will opera and ballet be replaced by WWF wrestling and roller derby? Unbelievable, how low we have stooped.
ReplyDeleteWhy is he against the Kennedy name being on stuff? If it was the Anthony Wiener Center for the Performing Arts yeah I could see.
DeleteSo if Ghislaine mentions in her interview with ex-Trump lawyer turned
ReplyDeleteDOJ exec that Trump was a noble choir boy and totally innocent and gets an immediate pardon, you gonna buy it?
Already she was offered limited immunity for giving up 100 names. Then I read Trump never went to the Island. Isn't sex with a porn star enough? The gravy is thickening here. Something's going on.
Delete"In November 2022, a group of physicists claimed they’d simulated a wormhole for the first time inside Google’s Sycamore quantum computer. The researchers tossed information into one batch of simulated particles and said they watched that information emerge in a second, separated batch of circuits." Next, Z-Man will utilize the cubit worm hole to turn grass clippings into Fancy Feast. Cats can't wait.
ReplyDeleteQuantum physics. Nobody can understand it. Kind of like that other blog.
DeleteThe BBB defunded PBS -$2 Billion and added $170 Billion to create by far the largest 'law enforcement' agency in the country. Any idea of what that huge Homan assault force will do when all the criminal immigrants are gone? Street mimes? Raid childcare facilities? Start their own PBS? Just pondering.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the hot dog wagons come next especially with anything about quesadillas or tacos on the side of the truck.
ReplyDeleteWe eat at a place called El Sombrero quite often. Should i carry my birth certificate? Camarones Aprepocados -bacon wrapped shrimp with melted cheese downed with a mug of Estrella Jalisco. Is that even legal? Would ICE block the emergency exit? Holey Moley Guacamole.
ReplyDeleteWonder how many migrants have registered with the Homan app. Is it on Google Play?
ReplyDeleteUp in Spokane, all Summer Latino Festivals have been cancelled. These folks must feel like the bunnies thrown into the lion cage at the zoo.. There is something mean and sinister about the good ol USA.
ReplyDeleteThey have to register with the government app first so they can leave and come back or so says Kristi Noem. Don't understand what that means.
ReplyDeleteThe same local farmers are fine with rounding up immigrants as long as it's not THEIR immigrants out there topping the tobacco. Have you heard about his solution to the homeless population? Build facilities where you can involuntarily commit people even though they aren't a danger to self others. Can you see where that's gonna go?
ReplyDeleteI generally agree with you but my views have changed slightly. Sometimes the homeless do cause problems. In White Plains a homeless guy sleeps under a big blue tarp at a major bus stop right on the bench where people sit. Winter spring summer and fall. Cops have bent over backwards for the guy. Doesn't want to go to a soup kitchen or shelter. Trump takes things to extreme levels but what you and BB don't understand is many people see liberalism as letting society unravel and that's one of the reasons Trump won.
DeleteKristi shot her puppy cuz it wouldn't stop barking. Prime requirement for head of Homeland Security.
ReplyDeleteYou talkin' smack again BB?
Delete'Smack' seems to be the current vernacular. No?
DeleteI have to check with Kanye West.
DeleteHomelessness generally is high where population is high, but not always - https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/homeless-population-by-state
ReplyDeleteIn most states it is going up and some it has gone down. Are Alcatraz and Alligator Alley available? Would it be an ICE project?
Tough one.
Isn't Florida closing Alligator Alcatraz or so my phone said.
