While Trump is putting out all the distractions that he can right now, the threat of the Epstein “client list” continues to loom large. Surprisingly, the heart of that problem for Trump is connected to the anti-trans hate campaign that he has stoked among MAGA Republicans.

A group of Republicans who have previously been very loyal to Trump have built a large part of their platform around protecting children. While that’s an admirable political position to take, too often, rather than making moves that will lead to real support for children in dangerous situations, it has amounted to an excuse for bigotry and hate targeting the LGBTQ+ community.

    You forget that Vance is up next if Trump goes, and despite having the charisma of a tub of melted icecream, he’s got a whole panoply of yes-men who want nothing more than to see Vance’s version of a white, Christian America come true.

      He doesn’t have the rizz to beat the couch fucking allegations. I’m not worried about him. These fools only have power because they’re riding Trump’s coattails

        Trump only has power because the oligarchs are using him to 1) Distract people away from class consciousness and 2) Use fascism to shore up their power for when distraction fails.
