*That "one particular person" you were referring to happens to be the most
powerful man in the world, so I think it's rather important to know if he
has done bad things. Apparently he did; that is to say he did bad pedophile
sex things, we already know all too well that he has done very bad things. *

*If that was true he would've released the unredacted version of the files
and the entire Epstein controversy would've come to an end 6 months ago,
but he has refused to do that.  Epstein said more than once that for over a
decade He Who Must Not Be Named was his best friend and he is mentioned
38,000 times in the Epstein files, but in the released version of the files
whenever POTUS's name comes up then immediately afterwards, where you would
expect to get details about what was going on, there is nothing but several
blacked out pages. POTUS ordered that, and that is not the behavior of an
innocent man. *

*Loss of interest, hmmm that reminds me of something, did you ever see the
movie "Wag The Dog"?  It's a clever and amusing 1997 satire about a
President of the United States who starts a war in order to distract
American voters from a pedophile sex scandal involving him. You might find
similarities to the current situation, although the fictional POTUS did not
have a history of sneaking into the changing room of the Miss Teenage
America contest when the young girls were getting into their bikinis. The
current POTUS bragged about doing exactly that, not to mention that "when
you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything... Grab ’em by the
pussy. You can do anything" business. *

*That one guy came closer to destroying the Constitution (which you claim
to love so very much) than anybody since Robert E Lee.  *

*Wow, you are an optimist! I am more pessimistic. Unfortunately the man
seems to be pretty healthy. In my nightmares I envision him remaining in
office till he's in his 90s, when I wake up in a cold sweat I tell myself
he's not going to live that long, but then I remember that only the good
die young. *
