Yet we didn’t hear trump criticize his buddy Epstein for his crimes. We did hear him criticize Paul Ryan, amongst many others.

It really was quite the rant. It's hard to remember sometimes we're watching a President of the United States say so many stupid, false, disparaging, unprofessional, inappropriate, and ludicrous things. He even threw in their that no one has been tougher on Russia than President Trump. No president has gotten more done in this amount of time, than President Trump. Sleepy Joe...Omar shouldn't legally be a congress person, Paul Ryan's weak, etc., etc. Simply amazing.

Who are you agreeing with about this "clintonesque"? Not me. You can't even post a short rebuttal that's accurate.

Joe Biden earned $15 million since leaving office, tax returns show - Los Angeles Times

How much has Ivanka earned from the many trademarks she was presented by China because of her father? Jared Kushner got billions of dollars from a foreign government, possibly the Saudis to bail out the Kusnher failing 666 Fifth Avenue building that was about to go into default with the bank? How much money has Trump made on his golf club resorts by doubling the prices on all condos or other fees? How much millions has Trump profited off the Trump hotel just one block from the White House where foreign ambassadors and dignitaries are encouraged by their own government to use when they're in Washington in order to garnish favor from Trump? The list is endless and if you want to compare a paltry $15 million dollars EARNED by Joe Biden through speaking engagements, then you have a pretty skewed idea of what profiting off ones name actually means.

I don't know. It doesn't seem especially germane to anything, though.

Good to see that you understood my point.
You were talking about those who leave office and make tons of money when they write books. Remember?

Part of Trump's appeal. **** up in such volume that it would take people devoting all their time and energy just to keep his list of failures current. I have tried..I can't keep up. Maddow tried, her board of names of people who left/fired/resigned/indicted had such small text by the end...I think she just stopped doing it.

Agreed.

For example, why did the Democrat DA in New York try to have Epstein's sexual predator classification lowered in 2011?

There is far more to this story than the public has been allowed to see.

Shame Acosta got caught in it's web.

The bottom line is Epstein is up to his ass in democrat politics, and also rubbed elbows with anyone with money. The second bottom line is people knew, people suspected, people participated, and people were compromised. We just don’t know who yet.

To the poster who asked about the SDNY, we have a new AG that quite possibly turned focus on Epstein if for no other reason that he has been getting away with it for so long.

What? Can you expound "Clintonesque"? Jeffrey Epstein isn't simply 'up to his ass in democratic politics' and if that's what you think then you have little knowledge of how deeply disturbing this should be for anyone, politics aside.

I don't know if there's any other high-profile man in history that can even come close to Jeffrey Epstein for shear arrogance on full display by a billionaire who most likely paid someone off to escape a long prison sentence for sexual crimes against underage children that had been going on for decades and was well-known by many men in influential circles who may have even participated in all of this.

Agreed. And then there is Epstein's buddy and major Dem donor/Bill Clinton buddy, Ron Burkle, and his "Air **** One" Bill Clinton and Epstein generated frequent flyer miles on.
 
Resign or be fired... It's good that Trump gave Acosta the easy way out.

That's your bottom line? What was your opener? "stupid things said by stupid people"? Epstein is a bad guy. He and his named, and unnamed co-conspirators were given immunity by Alexander Acosta, Trump's pick for Labor Secretary. SDNY took it up and used conspiracy to bring this guy, and possibly others...to justice. That Labor Secretary now resigned, shortly after he tried to explain his actions, by saying a bunch of nonsense. But you're here to tell us the bottom line is about Epstein and Democrats. Good lord.

Yeah, I tried to watch it but I had to put it on mute. He's nothing but a lying troll. Geez I hope America is smart enough to vanquish that disgusting prick in 2020.

I think the aforementioned had better lawyer up about now... Creepy Epstein will give up all attempting to lighten his sentence.

Trump announced to the press that Alex Acosta is stepping down. There is no link to the story yet since it's just breaking.

This shouldn't be a surprise to most. His explanation of the Jeffrey Epstein deal just didn't hold water, particularly with a former prosecutor in Miami who rebuked Acosta's explanation.

I didn't think Alex would survive this mess.

I kind of doubt Trump will either.

Perhaps, but it's also important to remember how close Trump was to him as well.

Trump's and Clinton's close relationships with Epstein look equally awful.

No, I was specifically talking about nobodies that get fired or quit and try to eek out a living by writing bull**** 'memoirs'. I was not referring to an ex Vice President that has every right to make speaking engagements because he's in demand.

No, but the deal was brokered by Federal Prosecutors.

Not a lawyer here; how does the Federal Government broker a state plea agreement?

Time will tell.

You know people are scared when their media immediately pivoted to the President when news of Epstein's indictment hit.

LOL! That's what I said about Trump more than 2 years ago. Boy, was I ever wrong! The only way Trump would get into a mess over this Epstein thing is if someone took a photo(s) of Trump getting a bj by a 13 year old girl and it would have to be a photo taken by Fox News. (yeah, that's possible). Even then, he would still have deniers of the photos (fake news) and possibly even gain a few votes over it.

I don't know. It doesn't seem especially germane to me, though, since law professionals universally recognize this as a Federal issue.

At one time. Haven't had any contact for years and years. You know this. Right?

What do you think your buddy Billy should do? How about his buddy Ron Burkle? Lawyer up, or wait to see if another Democrat in the DA's office in New York can provide some cover for all of them?

I’m currently watching what trumpcons are watching and listening to. It’s the only way to know what they’re processing. ‘His’ farmers and ranchers are currently working, unless they get this on Sirius radio in their vehicles, which they do.

NASCAR, Rodeos, especially county fairs in July, state fairs in August, Harvest days in September are some of the places to see ‘his’ people. I watch a good deal of RFD TV — the farm channel — these days.

I also catch FOX with Smith, Cavuto, and Baier when I can.
