Trump’s handling of the Epstein case might be the greatest political scandal of our lifetime

1. And yet MAGA won’t care if Republicans are named. Remember when polls were suggesting upwards of half of Republican voters wouldn’t support Trump if he were a convicted felon? Then came the “I’m voting for the convicted felon!” swag. He lost practically no support and even gained, sadly.

2. *Might*?! How about “is”?

3. And yet, he’s still the President of the US. And here I am on the other side of the world, wondering how the hell that’s even possible. And I still have no clue

4. The Epstein scandal is a far bigger deal than Watergate ever was. The fact that Trump isn’t facing a fraction of the backlash that Nixon did over Watergate is a testament to the extent to which Fox News and other conservative propaganda have warped and twisted our society. Trump should have been impeached and removed the instant his connection to Epstein was revealed.

5. Republicans are already defaulting to the “Well… a 13 year old isn’t *that* bad”

   Our country has lost the plot. 

6. It already is. This dwarfs Watergate, no question.

7. He hasnt tweeted in 24 hours, not a good look for someone who is under scrutiny and normally tweets non stop

8. This is up there but I think when they tried to overturn the election and stormed Congress qualifies as the greatest political scandal since the Civil war.

   Pretty much the entire Trump era has been a giant political scandal or criminal conspiracy depending on your point of view.

9. Trump’s presidency as a whole is the greatest political scandal of all time. It’ll never be topped.

10. Really puts RFK’s oddball comments about young girls and mature men into a very concerning contrast now.

11. The greatest political scandal isn’t Trump, but how the media and politicians contorted known lies into believable falsehoods. The scandal is the ease of manipulation of the American Public through media. This problem has been happening since the Twin Trade Towers at least and until it is addressed there will be no discontinuation of this circus.

    People have to primary bad politicians, even it if it means voting off-party. Pelosi, Schumer, any of the billionaire grifter loving Republican / Democrat politicians need to go and they need to have been gone yesterday.

    Anyone in favor of Citizen’s United needs gone, yesterday. The Patriot Act needs to have been gone. Privacy needs to be ratified into the Constitution as a Natural Right. Disinformation wars need to be done. Platforms need to be held accountable for moderating their own information space.

12. Trump’s got like the top 18 scandals to himself, Watergate is way down the list.

13. Funny how stealing state secrets for personal use and obstructing from getting them back or agitating a crowd to illegally enter congress to stop it from working is so normalized now

14. Mainstreaming pedophilia and child rape as conservative values is my favorite part so far.

15. A sitting president being called out by a dead pedophile and sex trafficker, and nobody bats an eye.

16. My mother, who lived through Watergate, actually tried telling me that this will all be over when Republicans finally give up on Trump like they did Nixon. I had to remind her that if Watergate happened today, they would prosecute the whistleblowers and protect Nixon at all costs.

17. Trump’s handling of it??! I’m going to go out on a limb and say the greatest political scandal is Trump actually raping kids and participating in a child sex trafficking ring, with the handling of it being second.

18. A greater scandal than Jan. 6 and the fake electors plot? I don’t think so. At least it shouldn’t be.

19. MIGHT? Are you kidding me?

    Trump has had 10 scandals 10x worse than Watergate. Our government is fucking ridiculous.

20. Eh. The Epstein scandal is just popcorn. It’s not something I even care about besides as a means to an end.

    The deep corruption at all levels that have been enabling Trump as a dictator is what pisses me off to no end. Every check and balance of this democracy has been compromised, and so many fucking people are on board. We watched as Trump tried and failed at an insurrection, and that didn’t even invalidate him, legally or socially, from running again and **winning**.

    That’s the fucking scandal. Trump and his enablers are monsters for what they’ve done to this country. I dont give half a shit that Trump has been a monster all along. That was already my assumption in the first place with what came out in his 2016 campaign.

21. It’s cool Megyn Kelly said Epstein only fucked 15 yr olds and not 8 yr olds.

22. World leaders should refuse to meet with the United States until he steps down.

    There are some crimes that need to be investigated

23. I remember when Bill Clinton getting a consensual blow job from an adult was the biggest political scandal of my lifetime.

24. In Trumpworld, bills pay themselves, debt disappears, he’s 6’4” and 220 lbs, the hair’s real, the tan’s natural, and the Bible wasn’t upside down. The walls got built, Mexico paid for them, COVID vanished, the economy boomed, and the election was stolen again. He hires only “the best people,” right before they flip, plead, or get indicted.

    He definitely didn’t dodge the draft, he didn’t call John McCain “not a war hero,” and he totally stood in the rain at Arlington. He doesn’t have a favorite Bible verse because it’s all so special. He’s definitely not a sexual predator, didn’t assault E. Jean Carroll, and never said he just grabs women by the pussy because he’s a star. January 6th was totally patriotic and not an attack on the Capitol.

    In Trumpworld, bleach cures viruses, windmills cause cancer, coups are peaceful tours, tariffs make us rich, and Putin’s a genius. Everyone who leaves is a “loser,” every indictment’s a “witch hunt,” and every lie is “truth the fake news won’t tell you.”

    He’s the most persecuted billionaire in history, loved by Jesus, feared by dictators, and adored by patriots who totally aren’t stupid or racist, just coincidentally angry at all the same minorities. And of course, he’s definitely not in the Epstein files, just ask the DOJ redaction team.

    And through it all, one law remains: everything and everyone he touches turns to shit. But in Trumpworld, that’s called success.

25. Trump being allowed to remain as president after a laundry list of criminal offenses is the biggest scandal. How so many so called “patriots” can stand by and watch as he destroys everything that made America what it was is beyond me. MAGA is truly a cult.
