forgotten, i doubt. more likely, Donald comes up with some completely inane way of explaining how the whole thing is really someone else's fault, and they'll accept it like the gospel.

Yep... the whiplash is hysterical and goes something like this:

* Romney was right about Russia.
* Oh, wait. Putin is now our friend.
* Oh, wait. Trump has decided after a decade of being Putin's Puppet that Vlad fooled every President except him. *whiplash*
* Today we are hating on Putin.

Joe Biden invented all the stuff about Epstein. *hysterical*

Okay, not to be nit-picking or anything... scratch that since it qualifies as rather nit-picky, but "péter" means literally "break wind" while "pétard" means firecracker or small bomb. Other than that, carry on.

Oh, no!? You don't mean Trump and the right-wingnut bullshit brigade lied by pushing false conspiracy bullshit to the QAnon rubes and the gullible MAGA morons? Say it ain't so!

They'll move the goalposts (again) on the QAnon crowd and appease the gullible right-wingnuts by doubling down on the stupid, and they'll eat it up like the low-info morons they are and have always been. Lather, rinse, repeat. #SSDD

Having said that, Democrats should definitely continue to demand the release of every single document regarding the issue; Trump is involved with Epstein up to his eyeballs, and it's kind of obvious why he's now claiming there are no files but the Democrats wrote the files that he claims don't exist.

I know, right!?

And then to shut him up, the Clintons (or maybe some other Democrat, who knows?) had Epstein murdered in his jail cell, cleverly staging it as a suicide.

The handwriting is right there on the wall so how can people not see the FACTS!? Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on federal charges of conspiracy and sex trafficking and was being held in prison by the Federal Bureau of Prisons during the Trump administration so obviously, it's all the fault of Joe Biden or Barack Obama or the Clintons (take your pick)... duh! /sarcasm

Also, the deal Epstein was given in Florida was obviously given to him by a Democrat during the Obama administration... hello! /still sarcasm

Epstein's sweetheart deal was given to him in 2008 by Alex Acosta (Republican) during the administration of George W. Bush (Republican) and Trump (Republican) also subsequently appointed Alex Acosta (Kirkland & Ellis) to be his Secretary of Labor and (Republican) Bill Barr (Kirkland & Ellis) was Trump's Attorney General when Epstein was killed in prison, but also Epstein was hired by Bill Barr's father Donald Barr (Republican) Headmaster at the Dalton School in Manhattan who had also hired Epstein to teach math and science to children.

So as anyone can see, all the facts point to a ginormous "Democrat" coverup. /sarcasm

Obviously, it was already revealed in Maxwell's sex trafficking trial that Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, et alia were listed multiple times on the flight logs of Jeffrey Epstein so I cannot fathom why the QAnon nuts and gullible MAGA minions buy into the utter asinine idea that Bill Clinton is some kind of pedophile while their icon and cult worship however totally adjudicated rapist felon is somehow totally blameless. The ignorance is bone deep.

"Transparent" Trump and his administration of bullshit artists should release the files like they claimed repeatedly that they would, and if Democrats have any brains, they'll demand it.

But if - as you say - this story is actually news to his MAGA base and is potentially the actual 'last straw' for disillusioning them about the Trumpster, facilitated by Democratic Party shenanigans in asking for compromising votes from GOP members, then I for one will sit back and enjoy my popcorn.
