"Epstein files become a fiasco of Trump's own making"

[kane_magus]

So, to recap this recap:

1. Trump damaged his already in-the-toilet reputation in the first damn place by associating for years with a child sex trafficker. (And, aLlEgEdLy, almost certainly raped some underage people during those years.)
2. Trump and the Trumpublicans, in the lead up to the 2024 election, loudly beat on the drum of "releasing the Epstein files" because they knew it would fire up their Trumpanzee base, and it absolutely did do that.
3. After Trump became *ugh*shiver* POTUS again, though, he decided nah, he wasn't actually going to do that.
4. Surprisingly, his rabid base, for once in their goddamned lives, actually remembered one of the very, very many promises that Trump vacuously made on the campaign trail, and demanded that this one, at the very least, be kept.
5. Trump started telling baseless lies about how the whole "Epstein thing" was just a "Democrat hoax" or whatever bullshit, same as he always does when some truth about himself gets out and makes him look bad, because of course it does.
6. This, again surprisingly, did not instantly make the Trumpanzee rank and file all fall in line like good little dupes.
7. These emails were released, with probably (hopefully) even more damning shit on the way, despite Trump's continuing efforts to plug the spreading cracks in the dam with his infinitesimal hands.
8. As a result, the "Epstein files became a fiasco of Trump's own making."

So, yeah, this is another article that basically says we don't know for absolute certain that Trump raped any kids because "no real smoking gun" and all that, but we're sure readers will agree that all of this shit definitely looks hinky, right?

And, yes, it does definitely look very, very hinky, at the very least.

Anyway, in conclusion, to hell forever with Donald Trump, as usual (and for far more than just all this Epstein shit). May he join Jeffrey Epstein in being "skewered from eye socket to bunghole and then placed on a spit so that their flesh could be roasted by the searing gale of flatus which issues forth from the haunches of Asmoday," among other such delightful things. (And, of course, The Onion has some recent stuff about the Trump/Epstein thing itself, too.)
