“Maxwell told Blanche that during her time with Epstein -- which ranged from the early 1990s to the mid-2000s -- she never witnessed nor heard of any inappropriate or criminal activity by President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, nor any of the well-known men who associated with Epstein, according to the transcript.

Trump, Maxwell said, was cordial and a "gentleman in all respects" in all of her interactions with him. She described Clinton as a "truly extraordinary" man and a "fantastic ex-president," according to the transcript of the meetings, which took place at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Tallahassee, Florida.”

https://abcnews.go.com/US/ghislaine-maxwell-provid...

So now what? Will the name calling of President Trump associating with Epstein end?
(I won’t hold my breath waiting)
Noted no one here condemns President Clinton with his palsy association with Epstein....
But we all remember zipper gate,
Wait, wait! they were consenting adults....
So why didn’t they do the right thing and get a motel room instead of dirtying the Oval Office
and bringing shame to the White House and America?

I won’t mention there are double standards at the shrewd’m board, don’t want to upset anyone.

They move on to their next substance and fact free drive by shooting. It’s not like they have a lot to add to the national discourse on a single topic anyway.

It was like this under Bush also. Unhappy people screech and yell.

Ghislane is WAY smarter than Spankee--as proven by her statements. She is, by definition, WAY smarter than any Spankee follower. Enough said.

Will the sloppy, clueless cover-up ever end?

Trump should have taken classes in “cover-up” from Richard Nixon.

As it is, Trump had a pedophile, twice charged with perjury, human trafficker answering softball questions posed by his personal attorney, then moving her to a low security Club Fed as a reward for giving him the answers he wanted.

Where is the testimony of the victims? Where are the Epstein Files?

You were hoodwinked again, LM?

LurkerMom: “Maxwell told Blanche that during her time with Epstein -- which ranged from the early 1990s to the mid-2000s -- she never witnessed nor heard of any inappropriate or criminal activity by President Donald Trump...


At trial, Maxwell said: “I never, ever saw any man doing something inappropriate with a woman of any age. I never saw inappropriate habits,” despite the mountains of evidence presented at her criminal trial and in numerous civil cases.

This is simple: if there's truly nothing incriminating against Mad King Donald Thee Pedophile, then simply redact the victim's names and personal identifying information and release everything.

Easy peasy.

Also, if the Epstein files have evidence that Bill Clinton was having sex -- or other inappropriate contact -- with teenage girls, then prosecute him. The same goes for any other man, liberal or conservative.

Anyone with a moral compass should want the complete Epstein files published... not these lies from a woman who is a known liar who was rewarded with a move from a rough federal prison to a Club Fed for saying Donnie and Epstein are squeaky clean.

Seriously, protecting possible sexual predators of teenage girls in pretty pathetic.

Come on LM...are you simple?

Obvious Quid Pro Quo.

Plus Maxwell did and saw plenty of heinous things so what would she really consider inappropriate?

Convicted child sex trafficker.

Twice charged with perjury.

Exactly the kind of person LM used to hate.

Now she takes her word over the word of the victims.

LurkerMom: possible...go away with your speculation witch hunt.

I'm giving the pedo president the benefit of the doubt. Let's remove all doubt and release the files.

You know the "tell" here? If these files exonerated the pedo president, he'd release them in a New York minute.

I also said that plenty of evidence was introduced in the civil suits against Epstein. That's not "speculation" so if it makes you feel better, I'll edit out the word "possible".

Clearly, those teenage girls were raped. The question is, by whom?

Why do you want to protect child rapists?

Why do you want to protect child rapists?

For only one reason- their number may well include Donald Trump.

Given that nine years ago, LM was sure there was a pedo ring at the DNC that also consumed human sperm in Satanic rituals, her selective defense of Donald Trump (believing the words of a convicted pedophile and child trafficker who answered softball questions posed by Trump’s personal attorney in exchange for an upgrade in her prison environment), I really can’t think of any other reasonable explanation.

It’s sad how the morality and ethical principles of so many Republicans prove to be nothing more than a sham.

She undoubtedly treats those in her circle fairly. I think I know that much about her from what she’s said over the years.

But when it comes to the life of the nation, she consistently stands up for monsters, while condemning anyone who dares to say “fuck”.

doing something inappropriate with a woman of any age.

A "woman" would be a female age 18 and up. Under 18, she would be a juvenile and should never be there without real chaperones.

As I have stated elsewhere, Ghislane is WAY smarter than Spankee could ever be.

lol@pastorbill.

Remind me again who is president and who is not..

Remind me again which political party is bleeding its membership and
joining up with the Republican party.

Remind me again why Americans are so utterly sick and tired of the
non ending witch hunt of President Trump and angry
over the wasted millions of tax payers money on the dem Trial nonsense.

Remind me again the American people don’t care about Epstein ancient history
yet the dems keep harping on it hoping some bit of dirt might be found.

Remind me again who keeps going on his Merry Way with no care of what the dems
think or say.

I’ll remind you again the American people are happy with President Trump, except
of course the few democrats left to rant their TDS.

A whole country believed Adolf Hitler’s promises and voted for him. That didn’t make them smart. It made them “hoodwinked”

At least that was the consensus among Germans when 1945 rolled around.

Don’t be too late to get “unhoodwinked”.

I agree with the idea of your post, but not the details. Hitler (and the National Socialists Worker's Party) only got about 37% of the vote. They got the most, but still had to form a coalition as it was a parliamentary system. Not really a proper coalition, but more one of a collaboration with the conservative right. A not-detailed description here. Hindenburg appointed Hitler as Chancellor, where he remained until Hindenburg's death (where upon he seized total power).

But the NAZI party never got a majority vote (i.e. over 50%). The majority voted for other than the NAZI party. It didn't matter, ultimately, as -with the help of the right- Hitler seized power, burned the Reichstag, and consolidated power with his SA bullies and local "law enforcement". Eventually, he didn't need his SA, and eliminated their leaders.

Ya, right, Hitler made a lot of promises and so did President Trump on the campaign trail

Americans voted for President Trump because of promises made
SNIP
“President Donald J. Trump campaigned on a list of “20 core promises to Make America Great Again” — and in just six months, he has unquestionably delivered. From lowering costs to securing the border to enhancing public safety, President Trump has done more to make good on his promises than any president in modern American history, and he’s just getting started.
The list goes far beyond these promises. President Trump has successfully forced hospitals nationwide to abandon their so-called “gender-affirming care“ and chemical castration programs for kids, defunded biased PBS and NPR, ended woke DEI programming across higher education and corporate America, weeded out nonsense “climate” initiatives, made English our official language, and so much more.
Promises Made, Promises Kept:
Seal the border and stop the migrant invasion: “We will close the border. We will stop the invasion of illegals into our country.” (10/12/24, Aurora, CO)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: Under President Trump, the number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border are at historic lows and border wall construction has resumed. Last month, illegal border crossings were the lowest ever recorded, while this fiscal year is on track to see the fewest illegal crossings in five decades. For two straight months, zero illegals were released into the country’s interior.

Carry out the largest deportation operation in American history: “We will begin the largest deportation operation in the history of our country.” (10/21/24, Concord, NC)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: Every single day, the Trump Administration is removing illegal immigrant killers, rapists, gangbangers, drug traffickers, and other violent criminals off our streets — and sending them back.

End inflation, and make America affordable again: “Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again.” (8/17/24, Wilkes-Barre, PA)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: Core inflation is near its lowest level in four years, prices for everyday goods continue to fall, and Americans are growing increasingly confident about the economic outlook. Jobs numbers have trounced expectations for four straight months, gas prices are at their lowest level in four years, blue-collar wage growth has seen the largest increase in nearly 60 years, and Wall Street sentiment is surging as the stock market reaches new record highs.

Make America the dominant energy producer in the world, by far: “We will stop the Biden-Harris war on American energy … American energy is such a big deal. We will drill, baby, drill.” (8/3/24, Atlanta, GA)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump has unleashed American energy independence like never before, approving record numbers of drilling permits, lifting burdensome regulations, exporting to foreign countries, and expanding pipelines — and as a result, U.S. oil and natural gas production has surged, driving down global prices while creating hundreds of thousands of high-paying energy jobs.

Stop outsourcing, and turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower: “Together, we’re going to … bring thousands of factories back to the USA, right where they belong — and that will be done through tariffs and smart policy. We will build American, we will buy American, and we will hire American.” (1/19/24, Washington, D.C.)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: As President Trump pursues his bold commitment to an America First trade agenda, scores of companies have announced trillions of dollars in new investment as they onshore workers from foreign countries and create tens of thousands of new American jobs — positioning the U.S. as the dominant player for the jobs of the future.

Large tax cuts for workers, and No Tax on Tips: “We’re going to have very large tax cuts for workers and … No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime.” (10/12/2024, Reno, NV)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: The largest tax cut in history for working- and middle-class Americans — including No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, and No Tax on Social Security — is now the law of the land, along with unprecedented tax relief for small businesses, farmers, workers, and families.

Defend our constitution, our bill of rights, and our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms: “We’re going to bust up the censorship regime and bring back free speech again” (1/28/23, Columbia, SC), “I will defend religious liberty.” (1/19/25, Washington, D.C.)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump signed executive orders dismantling censorship, protecting religious freedoms, and safeguarding Second Amendment rights, and has directed his administration to take all necessary steps to defend Americans’ constitutional rights from overreach.

Prevent World War III, restore peace in Europe and in the Middle East, and build a great iron dome missile defense shield over our entire country — all made in America: “We will build a great Iron Dome over our country like Israel has a dome like has never been seen before, a state-of-the-art missile defense shield that will be entirely built in America and create jobs, jobs, jobs.” (6/15/24, Detroit, MI)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump has achieved remarkable success by employing his Peace Through Strength doctrine around the world —preventing war between India and Pakistan, ending the 12 Day War, brokering a peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, and averting escalation in other areas. Meanwhile, the One Big Beautiful Bill delivers funding for the Golden Dome missile defense system to protect our homeland from 21st Century threats.

End the weaponization of government against the American people: “Biden has worked to persecute political dissidents, including conservatives, Catholics and other Christians, and opponents of his weaponized state … This abuse will be rectified, and it will be rectified very quickly.” (5/25/24, Washington, D.C.)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump has purged corrupt elements from the DOJ and FBI, pardoned pro-life Americans wrongly targeted by the Biden Administration, and launched full-scale investigations into deep state abuses — bringing the era of weaponized government to an end and restoring fairness and trust in American institutions.

Stop the migrant crime epidemic, demolish the foreign drug cartels, crush gang violence, and lock up violent offenders: “The drug cartels are waging war on America — and it’s now time for America to wage war on the cartels” (12/22/23), “We will expel every single illegal alien gang member and migrant criminal operating on American soil and remove the savage gang, Tren de Aragua, from the United States.” (1/19/25, Washington, D.C.)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: The Trump Administration is dismantling human smuggling networks, sanctioning cartels and designating them as foreign terrorist organizations, and deporting gang members in droves — ridding our country of these public safety threats for good and making our streets safer than they’ve ever been.

Rebuild our cities, including Washington, D.C., making them safe, clean, and beautiful again: “We will rebuild our once great cities, including our capital in Washington, DC, making them safe, clean, and beautiful again.” (1/19/25, Washington, D.C.)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump is cracking down on crime with federal support for local police and cleanup initiatives for the nation’s capital. Cities like Washington, D.C., are seeing historic drops in violent crime, safer streets, and renewed economic vitality.

Strengthen and modernize our military, making it, without question, the strongest and most powerful in the world: “We will again build the strongest military the world has ever seen.” (1/20/25, Washington, D.C.)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: With the largest military investment in decades, President Trump is modernizing our forces with cutting-edge technology, rebuilding depleted stockpiles, and ensuring our troops are the best-equipped in history — deterring adversaries and keeping America safe without unnecessary conflicts.

Keep the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency: “If I’m elected, the dollar is so secure. Your reserve currency is the strongest it’ll ever be.” (10/15/24, Detroit, MI)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: Through pro-growth policies and tough trade deals, President Trump has fortified the dollar’s dominance, preventing de-dollarization efforts abroad and ensuring it remains the global standard — boosting American economic power worldwide.

Fight for and protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts, including no changes to the retirement age: “I will not cut one penny from Social Security or Medicare … I will not talk about one day or one year shorter, and I will not raise the retirement age of Social Security by one day, not by one year.”(7/27/24, West Palm Beach, FL)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump hasn’t touched Social Security — and has consistently called for rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse to safeguard the programs’ solvency for future generations, delivering on his ironclad commitment to America’s seniors.

Cancel the electric vehicle mandate and cut costly and burdensome regulations: “We’re going to be ending the electric car mandate quickly.” (1/7/25, Palm Beach, FL)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: On day one, President Trump revoked the burdensome electric vehicle mandate — and fortified that action by signing a congressional resolution into law. The Trump Administration has also slashed job-killing regulations to unleash innovation, lower costs, and put American workers first.

Cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children: “I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory … or political content onto the shoulders of our children.” (8/3/24, Atlanta, GA)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump signed an order to defund schools promoting divisive critical race theory and radical gender ideology.

Keep men out of women’s sports: “We will keep men out of women’s sports.” (5/26/24, Washington, D.C.)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump immediately ended the unfair, demeaning practice of forcing women to compete against men in sports — which resulted in the NCAA changing its rules and drove countless states and high schools to change their policies.

Deport pro-Hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and patriotic again: “We will deport the foreign Jihad sympathizers and Hamas supporters from our midst. We will get them out of our country.” (9/19/24, Washington, D.C.)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump has cracked down on campus chaos with federal enforcement and visa revocations for pro-Hamas agitators — restoring safety, free speech, and American values to universities across the nation.

Secure our elections, including same day voting, voter identification, paper ballots, and proof of citizenship: “We will secure our elections — and they will be secure once and for all.” (10/13/24, Prescott Valley, AZ)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump implemented nationwide election integrity measures through executive action, banning foreign nationals from election interference, strengthening voter citizenship verification, prosecuting non-citizen voting, requiring voter-verifiable paper ballot records, and ensuring state-by-state compliance with federal law.

Unite our country by bringing it to new and record levels of success: “It’s time to unite … Success is going to bring us together.” (11/6/24, West Palm Beach, FL)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump’s remarkable success is bringing the country together — with more Americans saying the country is on the right track than any point in two decades and support among Republicans for President Trump and his agenda near historic levels.

In other words, democrats are leaving their turning into commie Hitler dem Party and are joining the MEGA movement with President Trump.

✅ PROMISE KEPT: Through pro-growth policies and tough trade deals, President Trump has fortified the dollar’s dominance, preventing de-dollarization efforts abroad and ensuring it remains the global standard — boosting American economic power worldwide.

Fight for and protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts, including no changes to the retirement age: “I will not cut one penny from Social Security or Medicare … I will not talk about one day or one year shorter, and I will not raise the retirement age of Social Security by one day, not by one year.”(7/27/24, West Palm Beach, FL)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump hasn’t touched Social Security — and has consistently called for rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse to safeguard the programs’ solvency for future generations, delivering on his ironclad commitment to America’s seniors.

Cancel the electric vehicle mandate and cut costly and burdensome regulations: “We’re going to be ending the electric car mandate quickly.” (1/7/25, Palm Beach, FL)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: On day one, President Trump revoked the burdensome electric vehicle mandate — and fortified that action by signing a congressional resolution into law. The Trump Administration has also slashed job-killing regulations to unleash innovation, lower costs, and put American workers first.

Cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children: “I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory … or political content onto the shoulders of our children.” (8/3/24, Atlanta, GA)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump signed an order to defund schools promoting divisive critical race theory and radical gender ideology.

Keep men out of women’s sports: “We will keep men out of women’s sports.” (5/26/24, Washington, D.C.)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump immediately ended the unfair, demeaning practice of forcing women to compete against men in sports — which resulted in the NCAA changing its rules and drove countless states and high schools to change their policies.

Deport pro-Hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and patriotic again: “We will deport the foreign Jihad sympathizers and Hamas supporters from our midst. We will get them out of our country.” (9/19/24, Washington, D.C.)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump has cracked down on campus chaos with federal enforcement and visa revocations for pro-Hamas agitators — restoring safety, free speech, and American values to universities across the nation.

Secure our elections, including same day voting, voter identification, paper ballots, and proof of citizenship: “We will secure our elections — and they will be secure once and for all.” (10/13/24, Prescott Valley, AZ)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump implemented nationwide election integrity measures through executive action, banning foreign nationals from election interference, strengthening voter citizenship verification, prosecuting non-citizen voting, requiring voter-verifiable paper ballot records, and ensuring state-by-state compliance with federal law.

Unite our country by bringing it to new and record levels of success: “It’s time to unite … Success is going to bring us together.” (11/6/24, West Palm Beach, FL)
✅ PROMISE KEPT: President Trump’s remarkable success is bringing the country together — with more Americans saying the country is on the right track than any point in two decades and support among Republicans for President Trump and his agenda near historic levels.


The sad thing is- you believe that horseshit.

I didn’t want to repeat your sewer language, so omitted your last word.

You didn’t include my last sentence with your C&P, I guess the truth hurts, doesn’t it.

I’ll remind you of it..
“In other words, democrats are leaving their turning into commie Hitler dem Party and are joining the MEGA movement with President Trump.”

With that many delusions, please tell us all what you are smoking/drinking/mainlining, or whatever it is you are doing to hallucinate that much nonsense. And don't cite your sources. None of them are credible to the real world. In your world, anything goes (apparently).

LurkerMom: ✅ PROMISE KEPT: Core inflation is near its lowest level in four years, prices for everyday goods continue to fall, and Americans are growing increasingly confident about the economic outlook.

Umm, what now?

All you have to do to know this is a lie is to buy beef, coffee, apples, soft drinks, appliances, a car, or gasoline. Of the nearly 400 items that BLS tracks, roughly 3 out of every 4 items (or 76 percent) increased in price between July 2024 and July 2025.

Core inflation is 0.30%, exactly the same as it was in Sept of 2023 and Sept of 2024 -- it is not at its lowest level in four years.

The national average price for a gallon of gasoline is $3.15 -- I paid $3.39 yesterday at a Costco in Illinois. The national average price for a pound of bacon is $7.11. The national average price for a dozen eggs peaked in March at $6.23. I bought coffee beans from Costco a couple of months ago fo $35 for a 2 lb 2-pack. Today it's $55.

And that's with importers eating most of the tariff increases, which will kick-in at the consumer level by the end of the year and into next year.

Seriously, how deluded must one be to believe this hogswallop?

I mean, we get it.

You love a rapist felon who was best buddies with a child sex trafficker for a decade, who flew on the Lolita Express despite owning his own jet, and who has been accused by more than two-dozen women of sexual misconduct or sexual assault after admitting on video that he could go ahead and sexually assault women because he was a star.

You love a guy who tells you he's ending "the weaponization of government against the American people" while asking his DOJ and FBI to investigate and indict Hillary and Bill Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and Barack Obama, and calling for the investigation of Letitia James, Adam Schiff, LaMonica McIver, Ras Baraka, Andrew Cuomo, Miles Taylor, Chris Krebs, John Bolton, and many others.

And while sending federal troops into blue states despite red states having cities with more murders and violence.

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-intern...

And you love a guy who claims he's "deporting gang members in droves" when he's actually deporting DoorDash and Uber Eats drivers, a guy who delivers strawberries, a father of three Marines, and graduate students who write op-eds, among others -- none dangerous, except to the ego of a pathological narcissist.

Trump is a master at one thing and one thing only: spewing hogswallow¹ to hornswoggle his low-information base. That's it.
--
¹ - I think I just coined this new word. Should be self explanatory: hog + swallow. Similar to codswallop.

Yesterday he looked like Hitler. Tomorrow he may borrow a page from Mussolini or Victor Orban

But yes…. today he looks like Uncle Joe Stalin.

It’s a personality and psychological type. People who have Daddy issues are drawn to it, which makes it all the more pernicious.

When they heard Tucker say “Daddy’s coming home, and boy is he pissed!” They positively swooned.

Fuck ‘em.

You didn’t include my last sentence .... I guess the truth hurts, doesn’t it.


What hurts is that Trump's poorly educated cult, as evidenced in that 'last sentence', are allowed to vote.

Only the most ignorant or obtuse cultists describe Nazis as communist.

Another truth that hurts is knowing that a brain that spews such cultish ignorance is very likely forever mired in, as Steve Bannon put it, "that flooded zone of shit."
