MAGA Logic: If Trump Did It, It Wasn't a Crime

By now, most of us know there’s no bottom for Congressional Republicans—or Senate Republicans for that matter. There’s not even a basement. “Grab ’em by the pussy” didn’t do it. January 6 didn’t do it. Hell, the “One Big Beautiful Bill” — a legislative fever dream that gutted Medicaid and gift‑wrapped the country for corporations—didn’t even get a side‑eye.

And now, after years of performative outrage, floor speeches, and hashtag fury about Epstein and child trafficking, they’ve suddenly gone full mime the second Trump’s name slips into the picture. For a party that claimed it would “burn it all down” to protect children, they’re now acting like David Blaine made the Epstein files disappear mid‑exorcism, then asked them to pick a card and forget the victim’s name.

The hypocrisy isn’t new — but the cowardice? That’s hit a new low.

And the irony here is nuclear. This was their chance. With the MAGA base fracturing — evangelical drift, independent fatigue, suburban disgust — this moment could’ve been the break. They could’ve turned the tables. They could’ve said: “Enough.” They could’ve cut Trump loose and walked back toward relevance.
