Trump’s attorney met with Ghislaine Maxwell yesterday
-
It seems to me it’s not enough to do some ham-fisted attempt at exonerating Trump. The fever swamp won’t buy it. She’ll have to throw a bone to the Qanon folks and name some powerful people, by happy coincidence all democrats and never Trump republicans. And the sentence commutation would have to come much later. But prison until 2028 beats prison until 2037.

Well, if you can't trust Ghislaine Maxwell to tell the truth, I don't know what to say.

It's ironic that Newsmax doesn't even see the irony of saying the media are vile.

And they say ‘the Biden justice department’ when it was Trump’s justice department that prosecuted her, Trump’s DoJ that oversaw the prison where Epstein perished, Trump’s agriculture secretary who gave Epstein the sweetheart deal in Florida that caused an uproar by his victims, and Trump’s AG’s father who gave Epstein his job teaching at Dalton (a prestigious private school in Manhattan) even though he had no degree.
I’m beyond ‘why’ now. HOW are magats??? Explain please.

Because motivated reasoning to believe what one wants to believe is such an obscure and incomprehensible facet of human nature. So rare to observe it in the wild, and so easy to forget it exists. Good thing we can rest assured that that foible is isolated to Trump supporting talking heads. If we can isolate it, then we can study it, and then we can fix it.
Education is extremely important.

This right here is a fine example of bank-shot whattaboutism. Not everyone can pull this off so smoothly. 89, I’ll think this will have to fall into your realm of responsibility during Horace’s absence.

Oh you wanted an explanation of the universe in your head where Trump supporters really are fundamentally different from Trump haters, psychologically. You can’t explain how that childish fantasy universe could possibly be true. Any actual explanation violates the premise that they really are different and unrelatable and incomprehensible. You want a coherent explanation for the rhetorical universe in your head, and since that’s an impossibly unlikely universe, you’re at your wits end to explain it. I can empathize with your frustration, but I suggest that you spend less effort trying to understand your out group,, and more effort figuring out yourself. That would be a much more solid foundation for understanding others.
