Trump is stuck with Epstein forever. There will be always be a belief that more stuff is hidden, and you can't prove a negative. No way out.
@chris Bill matters not now. It's all Trump all the time. I will not be disappointed.
I always think back to the mid-2000s when it turned out that the United States was pursuing an official policy of torture.
At that time, rather than accept that torture is evil and not something that liberal democracy should be doing, they just double down. "Yeah we tortured people, and it was the right thing to do and we would do it again."
Shockingly, it worked. Nobody really seems to care anymore that the government tortures people or violates Fourth amendment rates en masse, or does any of the things that they do. Things like MK Ultra turn out to be true and responsible for radicalizing homegrown US terrorists like the Unabomber, and that doesn't seem even worth the discussion.
I feel like if anyone was really in danger we'd be seeing that taking place, a huge campaign to minimize the damage that occurred and effectively turn it into background noise. It's all just political games at this point. Nobody thinks they're really in danger on either side of the political spectrum, they're just hoping to score some points before the ride stops.
