    Cult. Endless denial. Forever rejecting reality. What more would it take to have these people given straight jackets?

    In a bare minimum rational world, Mr. Kelly would never see the broadcast side of a teleprompter ever again.

    Trump really painted himself into a corner by promising the QAnons all of the dirt on Epstien, and I’m very curious to see if a narrative like this can dig him out. They’ll usually twist reality into knots to keep their narrative alive, but, “Epstien was a white hat,” might he a bridge too far, even for them.

      Doesn’t matter.

      Remember that “I could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave” line? Turns out he meant “I could rape a child,” and these people would STILL love him.

      This is their loyalty test now. This is how low this sleeze will take them this week.

    Epstein was CIA under deep cover. He was infiltrating the pedophile ring and he got too close. What a patriot.

      There is no list… After the Trump administration removed all of his rich peers from the list, no names were left…so no list.

    the amount of mental gymnastics here.

    there’s a huge gap being skipped from being skipped.

    epstein would be complicit and still part of the gang if he’s doing what he was told.

    Classic propaganda tactic. Speculating about alternative answers after you already know the answer or when everyone knows where the answer is.

    He speculates why did all these rich and powerful people not abandon him? Because he was secretly a good guy? No, you liar, it’s because they were his clients so he could blackmail them if he wanted to.

    He speculates why did he get favorable terms from previous trials? Because he was secretly a good guy? No, you propagandist liar, it’s because he was ultra wealthy and well connected.

    If he was secretly a good guy, he wouldn’t have offed himself in prison, so there’d be a giant investigation over that.

      This is just one of the Republican insiders being honest for once in their life, claiming Epstein for one of their own like he always was.

    Why are Democrats not going on the news and taking every opportunity to call the Republicans pedo protectors?
