This dude is throwing everything to try to pretend he ain't a fucking pedophile in Epstein's list.
They're trying to insinuate that the accusations on them are of the same legitimacy of those they've been throwing at everyone for decades.
If their claims are rebuked as baseless, they'll call the claims against them baseless as well. If the claims against them are said to be substantiated, they'll point to their claims and suggest the same. It's the "tails I win, heads you lose" of a political scheme.
conservatives are more likely to believe fake news, and cons more. eventhough AI is fake, its just affirmation to thier beliefs.
He's flailing so hard he is speed running through all of his tried and true distraction techniques. It's like watching Jordan Peterson on the Surrounded thing on YouTube. He's a one-trick pony, and it becomes obvious when you do it that fast.
I mean .. even MAGA caught on. Now, are they going to see the pattern, or are they going to go back to the mental gymnastics and become furious about a book in a school library in a state they don't live in? Unfortunately, we could safely wager our life savings on which option they will choose.
you noticed the threat of Tariffs are having no effect anymore as a distraction even from the magats, and News are just moving on after mentioning it. he used it so much people got tired of listening to it.
Yeah, but the people know. They know he was involved.
Ang Maga will cheer him for that
Sure but aren't these the same people who need billboards to tell them not to have sex with their daughters.
obama broke the minds of tea party crowd, and by extension MAGA.
Maga is pretty fucking pissed about this Epstein walk back.
Not.Pissed.Enough.
