The Epstein File

It’s fair to say he’s pushing the envelope, quite often too far, and with varying degrees of success.

[Mik]

It’s largely a symptom of a feckless Congress. All recent presidents have pushed the envelope.

But not all recent Congresses are such pushovers.

The cult of Trump was apparently not culty enough to keep the cultist congresspeople in line regarding the Epstein files. But this particular cult is often like that. Sort of culty and frameable as culty, except when it’s not.

So is Trump(CF) acting as a dictator?
Is he a dictator?

Yeah as Jon said, he pushes the envelope. IMO as much as I think he's abhorrent on so many levels, he doesn't really get close to the dictator thing. Now, if he defied the judicial branch and told them "ok now enforce your ruling with no army" or began using the military for more than parades and raking mulch in DC, I could see the threat.

I'm glad he's as old as he is. If he was 20 years younger I think his behaviour would be a lot more concerning.

[jon-nyc]

The entire 119 page grand jury testimony was redacted.

[jon-nyc]

Redaction complete.

[Mik]

It will all be a big nothingburger in the end and no charges will be filed.

[jon-nyc]

No charges will be filed but there will be reputational damage. Like what happened to Larry Summers.

[Mik]

And Coldplay Woman.

But still, this has been a tempest in a teapot all along.

[jon-nyc]

[jon-nyc]

Well, well.

[jon-nyc]

Im shocked.

[jon-nyc]

I suppose they view anything that could embarrass Trump and his team as falling under the ‘national security’ exception in the law.

[89th]

My surprised face.
