Be careful what you wish for.

 

It is really hard to write political journals or blog posts (whatever you want to call what I do) in the age of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. It's one outrageous thing after another, and scandals are so much the norm that you become numb to all the madness. 

Now comes this sordid Jeffrey Epstein mess. MAGA world all have their collective hoods and sheets in a bunch, because...shocker...Trump and his administration lied to them. They campaigned on exposing the "deep state" and wacko conspiracy theories, and now that their "dear leader" is a part of the "deep state" himself, he is telling them to move on, nothing to see here.  Pam Bondi promised to release the Epstein files, but I am quite sure that when she saw that her boss was (allegedly) on some of those lists, she changed her tune. Funny how that works. Careful what you wish for MAGA world, you might not like what is behind the curtain. 

Now Trump is threatening to sue the Wall Street Journal for an article which further outlined the friendship between himself and Epstein. The Journal is sticking to their guns, and I am pretty sure that the they dotted all of their i's and crossed their t's before going to print. Besides, let's not lose sight of the fact the owner of the Journal, Rupert Murdoch, helped to create Donald Trump with his FOX News propaganda machine.  Why turn on him now? Well,  I suspect that the truth is just smacking them in the head and there is no escaping it. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses and move on.

The thing about this latest scandal with Epstein is that there is nothing here that we did not suspect about Mr. Trump all along. America knew about his sordid past with young girls and his despicable behavior towards his former and current wife, and still they elected him. This Epstein saga is just reminding us of who this guy really is. A lot of the people who voted for him are probably just wishing that it goes away. 

Please don't remind me that I voted for this creep just to keep the black woman out of the highest office in the land.
