The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You guys need to explain how Trump was ratting out the dude who was providing him with underage girls.

It appears, he was "ratting out" Epstein *after* his crimes became public knowledge. Epstein's honey pot had already been exposed, so Trump the Perfect was not telling the Police anything they did not already know.

What do most people, who have nothing to do with a crime, say? "I don't know anything about it, I don't want to get involved".

The amateur perp will think the Police expect the perp to run away and hide, so, by making a big show of embracing the police, they think they divert attention away from themselves. That is what "Dixie" did, in the movie, when she was recognized at the scene of the crime: make a big show of volunteering information to the police, to divert attention away from herself. In the case of Trump the Perfect, he ran to the Police, to plant a narrative that he had always been against what Epstein was doing. Again, the Chief should have asked God on Earth Trump "if you knew about it all these years, and so disapproved of it, and you are as public spirited as you say you are, why didn't you report it years ago?"

The lady doth protest too much, methinks

Hamlet, Gertrude, Claudius, and others watch the play-within-the-play, in which the Player Queen declares in flowery language that she will never remarry if her husband dies.[1] Hamlet then turns to his mother and asks her, "Madam, how like you this play?" She replies,"The lady doth protest too much, methinks", meaning that the Player Queen's declarations of love and fidelity are too excessive and insistent to be credible.
