1. One basic ability every politician, magician, and parent must learn is the skill of diversion. The old, “Look here, but not there.” Today’s version is “Look at the Iran War; don’t look at the Jeffrey Epstein Scandal.”
2. I contend that Donald Trump started the Iran War for the singular purpose of hiding further Epstein evidence and testimony.
3. Too big a pill to swallow? Of course, it is.
4. The war makes no sense, and nothing about it has shown any level of competence, realistic planning, or logic in negotiations. Timelines seem to start with a coin flip. Here’s an honest question: Do we want the war to end or not? Can’t tell. One point is certain: The cost to the American people is staggering. The cost to our allies is shameful.
5. I think we can assume that when a war is started to hide incriminating evidence regarding the highest level of government, that evidence, if released, would be beyond devastating to the White House. Think government-toppling.
6. We can only conclude that the start and continuation of the war were planned. And perhaps the only way to conceal a government-ending problem is to wrap it in the butcher-block paper of war, until all those in charge hear the words, “Stand Down Until Replaced.”
7. Whether the Congress, whose courage is rarely out of reach of the unemployment line, will help or hinder remains to be seen.
8. So, we slog along with with war displacing proper investigations, media scrutiny and accountability. All of this with the nation’s biggest sinkhole underneath. Call it beyond possibility. It is. But is there anything in Trump’s past that indicates he wouldn’t start a war to save his skin? Narcissism works that way.

Yes. He thinks it will work out, but in reality, nobody will forget.

Trump started a war, kidnapped Mudaro, will drag the entire world into a recession just to try and distract from the Epstein files.
But Trump literally ran on releasing the Esptein files, and then congress managed to make it a law to release the Epstein files.
At this point, I’m not sure anything short of an earth destroying asteroid would keep people from shouting „RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!“

Whether he did or not, there is no reason the Epstein scandal should have stopped being reported. Do your jobs, reporters and politicians, focus on more than one thing at a time.

Netanyahu did the same thing, did he not? I think this tracks.
General_Sea3871 on
Yes
MalHeartsNutmeg on
No. He isn’t now, nor will he ever get punished for that. His followers also don’t care. Not everything he does is because of the Epstein files. This is clearly motivated by two things – one upping Obama because he wants to have or do everything Obama did but better because he’s an insecure racist, and also for money. He’s clearly making a killing manipulating the market.

Stop voting for Anyone who accepts AIPAC money. This war was built on a total lie. There was no immediate threats to the US. This was in support Israel and distract from the Epstein files and the genocide in Gaza.

No. He started the war because Israel wanted it and Netanyahu convinced the orange asshole that was easy and a great thing to do. You’re all giving trump way too much credits. There is no 4d chess. No 3D chess. No chess at all. A prime minister massaged his ego,that works, that’s pretty much it

Trump would burn down the world in order to have his crimes go away. This is what we are seeing today

Why is this still a question? That is absolutely what happened. I can’t believe we are living in this timeline.
badger906 on
Yeah of course he did. The same way he pretended to get shot at, to get people to vote for him

Don’t you think he looks tired?

Yes. Quit asking.

Oh, I’m sorry
I thought the entire planet was already on the same page with this.

And staged another assassination attempt to get a ballroom. Yeah.

Yes. Next question.

Yes. How are people even questioning if that is why?
