    It’s a warning shot to the administration. Trump is outliving his usefulness. The only one who doesn’t know that is Trump. Fox News needs to sell that to the base.

    This is what the build up to an article 25 will look like. Fox has to lay the ground work. First they need to make it ok to criticize the president.

      I wonder if trying to find redcap gear after donvict exits the stage will be like trying to find a Nazi uniform right after the fall of Germany…how many sudden “independents” will suddenly pop up everywhere? People that if they even remember Taco at all, will claim they didn’t really like the “tweeting”, LOL?

      I wonder if those betting sites are offering a bet on the likelihood of a new “movement” that is astroturfed and given to all these sudden “independents”, too.

      I’m actually wondering if the epstien bomb may be an additional part of it. IE if trump goes down, less focus goes on the files and they can be burried again.

      I’d say a second hypothetical… obviously will be a conspiracy theory, but what if say in the near future trump is assasinated. Vance takes the throne… epstein file coverage goes down now that the primary implicated person is out.

      Hell that could be the main driving force of the media backing trump. He was meant to burry them, but he made them a center focus

        Congress just (almost) unanimously passed a law, one of very few this Congress has passed, that the Epstein Files must be released by this coming Friday.

        The extremely welcome and greatly anticipated death of Donny 2 Inches, does not change that law…!

            Oh, I’d bet there will be shenanigans, but as I understand it, everything unclassified must be released in a searchable and downloadable form. Obviously, they will “classify” everything they don’t want out, and I bet there will be a metric ton of redactions.
