MAGAs are really pissed at Bondi and Trump.

Alex Jones made a video from his car and he slobbering from his mouth like a mad dog, with tears welling up in his eyes, was not happy that he was lied to.

Tucker Carlson said it was the worst thing he had ever seen.

If these MAGA propagandists have any influence, they may be calling for resignations? Bondi and the guys at the FBI may be walking on shaky ground?

What are we gonna do, release a bunch of files that don't exist? Prosecute innocent people who have been dragged into this dumb conspiracy?

At least it's an issue that'll suppress turnout of the GQP.

3. They are not very good at politics involving credibility

Trouble is that isn't worth much in the absence of a free press to call them on it. The questioning has been weak, it will last into Sunday's news shows, then disappear.

stuff posted here, this is one that is actually true. I've been hearing them (in person) for the past few days and they are not happy about the spending bill, and they are certainly not happy about the Epstein thing.

that MAGA holds leaders accountable, rather than being a cult in thrall to one man, and that Elon does things to help Democrats*.

Imagine being so deluded as to think Republicans are fiscally conservative, give a shit about the debt, or give a flying fuck about "family values".

Imagine being so deluded that the thing you get upset about are the Epstein files not being released rather than say the fact that like the Nazis before us, America is now sending innocent people to foreign concentration camps to be tortured until they die.



* intentionally, that is. Eloon does do things to help Democrats by being such a loathsome putz, but those things aren't intentional on his part

8. I think the plan is for enough deserters to Elon Musk to swing the next election, one way or the other?

The question is: How much do the MAGA like Elon? Would they ever dessert the movement for someone like Musk?

it's retaining his ultra loyalists no matter how incompetent they are. They were never picked for their abilities, only for their loyalty, so it doesn't matter one whit how they actually perform.

Which is to say, none of them are on shaky ground, so long as they continue to excel at kissing orange ass.

Like they’re pissed that Bondi is a female or they will claim that the Epstein file is not being released to protect Clinton.

Maybe they’re pissed because the BOHICA Bill doesn’t immediately claw back the Medicaid money and turn the recipients into slave labor if they can’t pay it back.

You never know. It’s always worse, tho.

Ow, now my brain hurts.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Island Visitors Exposed by Data Broker
A WIRED investigation uncovered coordinates collected by a controversial data broker that reveal sensitive information about visitors to an island once owned by Epstein, the notorious sex offender.

Archived at https://archive.is/7Igu4


NEARLY 200 MOBILE devices of people who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious “pedophile island” in the years prior to his death left an invisible trail of data pointing back to their own homes and offices. Maps of these visitations generated by a troubled international data broker with defense industry ties, discovered last week by WIRED, document the numerous trips of wealthy and influential individuals seemingly undeterred by Epstein’s status as a convicted sex offender.

...



Near Intelligence, for example, tracked devices visiting Little St. James from locations in 80 cities crisscrossing 26 US states and territories, with Florida, Massachusetts, Texas, Michigan, and New York topping the list. The coordinates point to mansions in gated communities in Michigan and Florida; homes in Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket in Massachusetts; a nightclub in Miami; and the sidewalk across the street from Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The coordinates also point to various Epstein properties beyond Little St. James, including his 8,000-acre New Mexico ranch and a waterfront mansion on El Brillo Way in Palm Beach, where prosecutors said in an indictment that Epstein trafficked numerous “minor girls” for the purposes of molesting and abusing them. Near’s data is notably missing any locations in Europe, where citizens are safeguarded by comprehensive privacy laws.

19. Too damn bad

They have salivated for years, IT IS ALL ABOUT CLINTON! Along with other Dems.

They just got slapped upside their dumb MAGAt asses.

1. They believed all the lies
2. They were promised by Bondi and others, this is going to be good, within the last six months.
3. They get smacked!

So they all claimed it was a conspiracy and cover up by the Dems.

Then they get, nothing to see hear move on.

How many of us have been berated by MAGAts about Epstein? The ignorant MAGAts now have to look us in the eye and try to explain their ignorance.

"It was sleazy Dems, Clinton is a pervert pedophile," and on.

So Epstein was given a sweet deal on his first conviction by a dude who then got a job in the tRUMP DA?
So Epstein died shortly after an Attorney General visited him? Who was that?
So the video provided by team tRUMP doesn't actually show Epstein's cell, just an entrance point. With that, there is ONE FUCKING MINUTE missing from what team tRUMP provided, why?

This is actually an issue that can make a difference. They were heavily invested in Deems and Clinton's are Pedophiles! They hide evidence, they are bad people! Many realized they were played. The hurt, kick them in the fucking nuts while they are down.
