The Trump-Epstein-Clinton Triumvirate

IF YOU COME AFTER ME,
I'M COMING AFTER YOU!
Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were bosom buddies for decades.  As the truth about the terrible crimes Epstein committed came to light, MAGA cultists concocted a whole fantasy of Trump actually trying to bring Epstein to justice as opposed to the truth;  that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein probably raped the same little girls.

But Bill Clinton, every Republican and Rightwinger shouts in unison, in a coordinated effort to distract from how despicably evil and now senile Donald J. Trump is and always has been...

What was born of this cognitive dissonance was the entire QANON movement andiron-stop various other attempts to claim Republicans fight for children instead of the stark awful truth which is Republicans fuck children, literally and figuratively.

New Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen, followed Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds in turning down federal food assistance for over 150,000 poor children.  Nebraska got rid of Pete Ricketts but, Pillen wants to make sure Nebraska children still get rickets... because fuck them kids...  It's sadly ironic Nebraska was settled by radical Czech immigrants fleeing reactionary oppression by the Austro-Hungarian Empire only to have their descendants turn into very same anti-democratic villains their forefathers once fled.

Last year, The Sound of Freedom movie was a conservative phenomenon!  A Summer Blockbuster like no other!  Or more correctly, exactly like every other conservative book or musical phenomenon in which rightwing organizations buy hundreds of thousands of copies to inflate the "box office" and promote the total fiction that conservative beliefs are the majority.  But, like all things rightwingers profess to believe in it is utter bullshit and a total fabrication.

First off, Tim Ballard is something of a modern day Ashida Kim or Frank Dux;
While promoting the film in an interview with Jordan Peterson in July 2023, Ballard claimed to have recently raided a West African "baby factory" where children are sold for organ harvesting and "Satanic ritual abuse", echoing another QAnon myth. In July 2020, in a video post, he lent credence to a QAnon conspiracy theory that falsely accused furniture company Wayfair of laundering money gained from child sex trafficking.
It makes sense that conservatives would flock to a film which makes them feel like the child saviors and not the child abusers they in fact actually are.  And Conservatives love to feel virtuous because that feeling allows them to support Republicans who specifically adopt all manner of policies and laws to harm women and children.

So, the Epstein "documents" are going to be used by duplicitous conservative propagandists because they know their rightwing drones won't bother to read anything.  Already we've seen QB fraud A-A-Ron Rodgers claim Jimmy Kimmel would be on the list to which Kimmel responded with the threat of lawsuit, I sure hope he does and takes all the wines Rodgers posed in front of for his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.  And predictably, Elon Musk's X Platform is overflowing with rightwing garbage of claims about liberals and Democrats on the list.

Trump's perverted relationship with his daughter, his finding of culpability in assaulting E. Jean Carroll and his continued defamation of her, and his criminal activities on Epstein's Island are well-known and well-documented. 

He bragged on multiple occasions of his sexual antics with little girls.  This has done nothing to diminish his appeal to the MAGATs and has heightened their love and fawning admiration of his strength.  Trump does and gets away (for the most part) with venal sins and criminal conspiracies that they wish they could.

They believe what they have to believe to justify what they would like to do.
