What a whiplash of a timeline!

On February 27 Bondi whipped out binders that she claimed were “declassified” Epstein documents, then turned out to all be documents that were in the public record already. A day later she claimed there were thousands of pages more, but Kash Patel had them. And then in March, she told Fox News that Epstein’s client list was sitting on her desk that very minute.

And THEN on July 7, the DOJ released a memo saying there was no client list after all, and Epstein killed himself. Bondi’s office released some video footage, which Trump’s previous DOJ had claimed did not exist, that she claimed was raw footage, but Wired said was not, did not show Epstein’s cell, and had a minute missing.

And THHHEEENN Trump took to his royal platform this weekend and made things worse for himself, as is his way.

[snip] . . . In conclusion, now the files do exist and the Black guy and the woman created AND planted them all, during Trump’s own administration, with their witchy Deep State magic.

This was all enough to make Alex Jones cry, and send Dan Bongino, human butt plug and Kash Patel’s deputy at the FBI, reportedly into full meltdown, and as of now he has not been at work or heard from since last Wednesday. Not even Trump is sure if he is still working in his DOJ anymore, though he told reporters on Sunday, “I think so.”

. . . But let us cut the crap here: during the Biden years, courts unsealed thousands of pages of Epstein documents. Trump was president and Bill Barr, the son of the guy who gave Epstein his first teaching job, was AG when Epstein was prosecuted and died in jail. It’s long been public knowledge that Trump and Epstein were friends — Epstein himself said BEST friends — and neighbors in Palm Beach and New York for more than a decade. Trump openly admired buddy-Jeff’s love of ladies “on the younger side,” and the two hit the clubs together, ogled underage beauty contestants together and even shared more than one girlfriend. And, according to court documents filed and then withdrawn, one alleged 13-year-old rape victim.

Trump and Epstein traveled together on his plane, and so did Eric, Marla, and then-baby Tiffany. Being a gross, pimp-vibe pageant-owning pussgrab creeper was a key part of Trump’s persona, and he went on Howard Stern regularly to hornily drool, even over his own daughter.

This was well-known long before the first election.

But Bondi has been busy with other stuff. She fired 20 prosecutors and staff at the DOJ who worked with Jack Smith to prosecute Trump. And she fired her ethics chief Joseph Tirrell with a one-page letter; his response on LinkedIn darkly hinted at the backstory:

It's good to see Wonkette still around after all these years, still fighting the good fight!

Just ask Musk for his copy. He wouldn't know what was in them unless he had seen them, and I doubt someone gave them to him for a quick skim through

Pam Bondi has no need for ethics! The rules for her attorney-ing are so simple: be a GrokBot for Dear Leader’s mission to weaponize the government, rain down vengeance on everybody who might oppose him, and don’t gain any weight.

All of Trump’s cabinet members are extensions of his Diet-Coke-pickled brain, and they would never say or do anything without his approval. Step out of line, and go the way of Tulsi Gabbard, still the Director of National Intelligence, who got disappeared in plain sight after posting a non-approved video that contradicted his then-burning desire to bomb Iran.

But even the best bot-people get confused when the prompt from on high keeps changing with every short-circuit panic-shart from Dear Leader’s rusting mainframe. And he’s getting more panicked! His approval rating has dropped six points from last month, and now even QAnon is starting to wonder if they’ve been had.

The story doesn’t seem to be going away, either. What shall his next distraction be from his other failures? War with Greenland, perhaps? Or Rosie O’Donnell?

As of today, Charlie Kirk revealed that they’ve shoved a Trump-flavored pacifier in his mouth about Epstein “for the time being,” but Alex Jones is still very much wilding out.

Keep popping popcorn!

I dunno. I have been seeing a lot of conservative influencers all turning heel. I think this one might be done for now.
