I read today how Laura Loomer, one of Trump’s female “influencers,” is, in essence, accusing Thomas Massie, republican who is key to the releasing of the Epstein files, (although I’ll believe it when I see them released) of killing his wife. Of course, she doesn’t come right out and say it, (in Trump tradition) she is just saying “it’s bizarre” and it’s a “serious question” regarding the passing of Massie’s first wife. “How did Massie’s wife die? Is there a police report? Is there an autopsy report?” She asks before adding, “Why is this such a mystery? I’d like to know. I find it to be bizarre and I always have. Now there’s a much younger woman in the picture.”
Well, actually, it’s NOT a mystery. Massie’s wife, according to the coroner, died due to “respiratory complications of chronic autoimmune myopathy,” Do you think this has come up now because of the impending House vote on releasing the “Epstein files?” So, I’ll do Ms. Loomer one better. How did Jeffrey Epstein really die? Do you really believe the missing 3 1/2 minutes in the video surveillance at the jail where he was held was a coincidence? Do you really believe Trump, in the words of Epstein, didn’t know he was the one who could bring Trump down? And, do you really believe it would be beneath Trump’s “moral clarity” to, you know, – OK, not accusing anyone of anything, but, was there an autopsy? If so, where are the results? (and, who performed it?) “This is such a mystery.”
Trust me on this. Trump will continue doing whatever he can to prevent the release of the total Epstein “files.” Remember, there’s a “treasure trove” of photographs and video evidence. I’m reading Virginia Giuffre’s memoir and Epstein was video taping the “stuff” going on in his homes – apparently so he could potentially blackmail people. (Trump? Just asking) I’ve seen more than one report regarding at least one photo with Trump and several partially clad YOUNG girls sitting on his lap. If you’ve been reading any of my posts of the previous 10 years you know I find Trump “deplorable.” That said, it’s even worse after reading 3/4 of Giuffre’s memoir.
It’s true she (at least to this point in the book) doesn’t make direct accusations regarding Trump although she references “Billionaire #1” – which I took to mean Trump – my inference. She only names a very few of the people who she was actually “trafficked” to because she was afraid. She was afraid of Epstein and Maxwell – Epstein had warned her (like he apparently did with all his victims) about his connections to the authorities and that something “bad” would happen to her if she told anyone about what was going on in his house. He said things like he knew where her little brother went to school. Of the people she did identify the one which sticks out the most to me, of course, was Prince Andrew.
Based on Trump’s actions in trying to prevent these files from coming out the logical conclusion is he’s a lot deeper into this SORDID mess than is even known at this point. The photos of him and Epstein, the comments attributed to both of them (Trump saying they were good friends for 15 years, Epstein saying they were “best buds” for 10 years), the “birthday card” from Trump to Epstein in 2002, and NOW the FACT Trump’s name has shown up over 1500 times in the recently released emails of Epstein makes it clear there’s more to this mystery – and, we all know Trump is going to do whatever he can to deflect or deny that he even knew Epstein. It’s almost like watching a movie about the mob.
There are those saying, according to Giuffre, she never saw Trump doing anything with any of the girls. Well, remember, Giuffre wasn’t introduced to Epstein until late 1999 and Epstein and Maxwell’s control over her ended sometime in 2002. Their horrendous conduct began something like 10 years prior. In the interim she was raped who knows how many times and there’s just one report of Trump spending a couple hours at Epstein’s house with “one of the girls” – the name redacted. However, since that email came out there are reports that girl was Giuffre. Well, what do you think Trump was doing with Giuffre for those two hours? Your guess is as good as mine. Talking about the success of the Trump Organization?
Virginia Giuffre isn’t the only person who has shared that the walls in Epstein’s homes were covered with photographs of YOUNG naked girls. It’s hard to imagine anyone spending much time there without having a clue what was happening. Go into a main room and right in the middle is a massage table. Huh? Even Trump’s Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, whose home shared a wall with Epstein’s in Manhattan, says he visited only once and that was enough.
He said as soon as he was in the room with the massage table him and his wife left immediately saying to one another this is “CREEPY.” Of course, there are no reports of Trump doing the same during the FIFTEEN years he claimed to be friends with Epstein. And the internet is full of photos to confirm their friendship – which started somewhere close to 1990 based on Trump’s original comments. (I have to believe Trump was in BOTH of Epstein’s homes – the one in Palm Beach and the one in Manhattan – at a minimum. Talk about CREEPY!
So, here’s the “64 thousand dollar question:” What is Trump going to do in order to save his ass? What is going to be the distraction? When the issue wasn’t as “hot” as it became once Adelita Grijalva put the 218th signature on the House’s “discharge petition” which will FORCE an up or down vote on whether to release the files Trump brought the National Guard into Washington DC. Well, that didn’t work. I’m going to bring up something I’d be better able to understand if I was a lawyer – but, if you noticed at the end of last week Trump ORDERED Pam Bondi – his subservient Attorney General (the biggest disgrace in the HISTORY of the Justice Department) – to investigate Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and some other democrats regarding Epstein’s files. He seems to think people like me care about “party affiliation” when exposing the creeps who were raping these young girls.
Seems stupid and”tit for tat” on the surface. But, I believe it may be more sinister than that. I’ve heard a couple lawyers point out that the release of the files could potentially be blocked due to an “existing investigation.” Do you believe that will calm all the republicans who are planning to vote yes on the petition? Now he’s encouraging the House to vote for the discharge petition. Do you really believe he means that? My take is this “investigation” will somehow block the files from being released.
That discharge petition will cause the House to have an up or down vote on whether or not to release the files – all of them – and there are LOTS of files. (Apparently, when Epstein’s home was raided, the FBI confiscated several computer hard drives, several phones. lots of photos and videos, and who knows what else. Epstein was clearly a pervert. According to the old saying, “birds of a feather flock together.”
Now, I can’t bring myself to believe the reason Trump is working overtime trying to prevent the release of these files – which, just a few months ago AG Bondi and Kash Patel were assuring everyone there was no “there there” is because he’s not in them. (Flash alert: Now he’s saying “release the files” – which I take to mean he knows there’s going to be a “hitch”) Do you think they didn’t know how many times Trump’s name was in the files before the recent “tranche” of emails came out? Of course they knew – they’ve got them all.
One of the places where I miscalculated was believing Trump’s name was being “scrubbed” from the files in the possession of the FBI – but, I wasn’t aware that the Epstein estate was sitting on a “treasure trove” of evidence. For example, the “birthday book” was in their possession – and they’re not hiding anything from anyone. (If you haven’t seen Trump’s “birthday card” to Epstein, well, look it up online.)
Here’s the worst case scenario from my standpoint on what Trump is likely to do in order to change the narrative dominating the public airwaves – and, of course, the internet. He’s already given the order to blow up close to a couple dozen boats off the coast of Venezuela killing what is now close to 80 PEOPLE. Trump and Hegseth accuse these people of being drug smugglers – without evidence. And, even if they were “drug smugglers” – taking (maybe) cocaine to Trinidad – their boats couldn’t possibly make it to the U.S. – the LEGAL way to confront them would be to stop the boats (In U.S. waters), board them, and if they had the drugs Trump and Hegseth says they had – confiscate the drugs and arrest them if that would have been appropriate. (I’m not sure the U.S. has any LEGAL authority to police drug smugglers in international waters)
Next step for Trump – is it going to be starting a war with Venezuela? Will all the MAGAts in America just look the other way? What on earth is it going to take before Trump’s hard core base figures out he could care less about them. Especially, those in his base who rely on SNAP benefits, the ACA subsidies to be able to afford health insurance, or Medicaid for their health insurance. Are Trump’s supporters going to make the connection as the rural hospitals start closing? Are they noticing the declining Job market? I don’t think they can miss the increase in the cost of living – higher now than at the end of Biden’s administration and OBVIOUSLY prices have not come DOWN – not on “day one” or on day 250. What about the no wars policy?
Trump claims to have stopped EIGHT wars – and some in his base may be gullible enough to believe him – although he gets mixed up with the country’s names and, I’m sure, he has no idea where they’re located. He didn’t end the war in GAZA on “day one” and, sadly, his peace agreement there lasted just a few days – until Israel started BOMBING again. And, what about Ukraine? I’ve always said Trump is going to go down in American history right next to Benedict Arnold – but, in world history he’ll be compared (and possibly in a worst way) Neville Chamberlain due to his appeasement of Vladimir Putin. Many in Ukraine are DYING due to Trump’s inability to bring himself to send to Ukraine what they need to defend themselves. Sadly, I don’t believe he’ll choose to help Ukraine as a way to change the narrative he fears so much. He blames Ukraine on his first IMPEACHMENT. Let’s face it, it’s just a matter of time until “we the people” know the truth re: Epstein and Trump! Trump will fight this to the bitter end! Stay tuned!
Final Thought: Another HORRIBLE part of Trump’s “legacy” is going to be the number of people who DIED needlessly under his “watch.” We all knew about the bungling of the COVID-19 pandemic where, according to estimates I’ve read, anywhere from 200 to 500 THOUSAND Americans died because of his botched response. Hard to top that, right? Well, soon after Trump 2.0 was in it’s early stages Trump’s (at the time) co-president (f)Elon Musk disbanded USAID – America’s “Agency for International Development” – the agency which was feeding the poorest people around the world, that ran the PEPFAR program providing HIV medication saving THOUSANDS of lives in Africa (countries Trump refers to as “shit holes”), and many other life saving programs costing America far less than what was gained from the programs. The last estimate I read said over 600.000 people (mostly children) have DIED due to the shuttering of the agency and many estimates suggest the number of lives lost will surpass a MILLION by the end of the year.
Three more years of this is unthinkable to me, but “we the people” voted Trump and JD Vance (who may be worse) into a miserable four years and, if you’ve read Project 2025 as I have, you know their plans are for a lot more years than four. I know I shouldn’t call Trump supporters “MAGAts” – because likely most of them are hard working Americans who simply have been exposed to Fox “news” and other right wing media (remember, right wing corporations control about 90% if America’s media – and, it’s getting worse on the internet) These right wing outlets (as I’ve been pointing out here for years) use the propaganda techniques of the Nazi’s of the 1930’s. Why? Well, because it clearly works. Tell your LIES over and over until people believe they’re true. (Trump’s masterful at this) AND every accusation is an admission. (Projection) Lord help us! Yikes!!!
