There's another option which I posted before - try to make his actions seem not that bad. And guess what path they are taking: Which puts them here on the political compass:
Well... I remember some folks were actually already joking about the notion that the GOP and the Trump lackeys in the press would end up here years ago, reaching a point where we had to witness them minimizing the rape of underage girls and asking "is it really pedophilia?" I guess I still underestimated the lows they would sink to, since I had imagined that chapter at least would remain the domain of dark jokes made at the expense of the U.S. conservative movement.
As the father of a 14 year old girl, I can promise you it's still rape. And it's still ********ing disgusting. And the law across many, many Western countries agreed. As does society, thank God. ******** you Megyn Kelly. ******** you.
Speaking on Megyn Kelly, NBC paid her $69 million, which was embarrassing at the time but has only gotten ever more startling since.
Whenever I read that Maxwell might be released, I recall the remark she made about the girls Epstein and his friends raped. The people who minimize the crimes against them clearly also consider the victims 'trash'.
I'll say it again. Unless Trump admits to blowing Bill Clinton on Epstein's island, he'll be fine with his base.
If one sees the Trump movement as a movement dedicated to reestablishing white male entitlement, their caucus’ reaction to the Epstein files makes it plain that it’s not just about white men being entitled to political power, and to money. It’s also about them (us) being entitled to women’s bodies. This is of a piece with how Trumpism treats white collar crime, lawbreaking on Trump’s behalf, even abortion. Global warming. COVID policies. Memorials to black veterans. Everything.
Remember, there is no bottom to how low they will go. They're now embracing child rape, Nazis ... If you think they can't go lower, they will find a way to prove you wrong.
Now I wouldn't put past them impaling babies on spears and roasting them over fires as long as the babies are brown.
To his base, he's similar to Warren Jeffs. But that is not the point, we all know this. This is about going after those 10% to 20% of voters who are non-cult.

It totally falls in line with their view of how society should work. Not only are white male patriarchs entitled to almost everything, queers should not exist, POC should live to serve them, and women should just be vessels for procreation, starting as soon as biology allows.
So Trump spent the first Thanksgiving as President at Mar-e-Lago with one Jeffery Epstein https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...pstein-emails-trump-thanksgiving/87251228007/
Jeff got the wishbone that night: "Man, I wish that I don't get imprisoned for my extensive pedophile ring. But if I do, I hope an assasin doesn't whack me in my cell as the guards conveniently go for a midnight stroll. That'd really, really suck"
So a Maddow producer claims he spoke with a congressional staffer that stated once the discharge petition passes the actual vote to release may pass with a veto proof majority https://bsky.app/profile/stevebenen.com/post/3m5jgcjvki225
FB friends are either having a meltdown or staying silent. That reminds me, when did Trump say he broke off their friendship? The late 2000s?
You mean to tell me he's been lying about it? Seriously, I doubt he could tell the truth about anything even if his life depended on it.
I had only seen the Megyn Kelly clip where she says 15 year old girls being raped is not such a big deal as 8 year old girls being raped. I didn't realize there was more. She then went on to say that Epstein only shared them with his friends after they were a bit older. Oh, so I guess it's fine for Trump to rape a molested, trafficked girl a few years into her ordeal. Assuming Kelly's completely insane and morally void picture even remotely resembles the truth. I'm sure the world wasn't always this nihilistic and hateful, once upon a time this kind of stuff would have been career ending.
I'm pretty sure the next step is for Trump to claim the "Trump" in Epstein's emails is Uday aka Don Jr.
