Merciful Heavens, I Believe That I Have the Vapors!

In an attempt to divert attention from the fact that he was f%$#ing kids as a part of the Epstein sex trafficking conspiracy, Trump has demanded, and Attorney General Pam Bondi has initiated an investigation into Democratic ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

If Bill and Donny share a cell I will be happy. 

President Donald Trump called on the Justice Department on Friday to examine the relationships between deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and several prominent Democrats, including former president Bill Clinton, and Attorney General Pam Bondi quickly tapped federal prosecutors in Manhattan to take on the job.

It is not clear how the New York prosecutors will respond to the assignment. In a post on Truth Social, Trump pointed to three men — Clinton, former treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, who is a prominent Democratic donor. All three had long-standing relationships with Epstein, which have been reported on for years.

So, we are talking about a former President crucial in the founding of the now defunct DLC, an economist who has always taken the right wing position and been wrong about everything, and a rich guy who dumped a lot of money into supporting "Rat Faced Andy" Cuomo in the New York Mayor election.

If the end up in the dock, I will be unhappy in the least.

………

Hours after Trump’s request, Bondi said on social media that Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, would lead the investigation. She called him “one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country.” 

I'm fine with this.

Anyone pulling at any of the loose threads is eventually going to unravel the whole thing.  Good. 

Epstein and Trump And Clinton and the Democratic National Convention

Seriously, if Clinton gets taken down, or embarrassed, or just hauled into court, as a result of the Ghislane Maxwell trial, more power to the prosecutors.

So reports that there are photographs of show Clinton apparently receiving a neck massage from alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim Chauntae Davies don't bother me, though I think it is mind bogglingly stupid to have them as featured speakers at the Democratic National Convention.

It is worse than a crime, it is a mistake: (Not actually a Tallyrand quote)

Hours ahead of former President Bill Clinton’s appearance at the Democratic National Convention, the Daily Mail published photos Tuesday that show Clinton apparently receiving a neck massage from alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim Chauntae Davies following a previously-reported flight that Clinton and Epstein took to Africa together in 2002, with Davies telling the Mail that Clinton was a "perfect gentleman" on the trip.

………

Donald Trump Jr. tweeted a link to the Daily Mail article, and suggested that if Clinton brought it up during his Tuesday DNC speech, it “would be a lot more interesting then garbage we saw last night.” His father, President Trump, was also once friendly with Epstein and Maxwell. After Epstein’s 2019 arrest, however, Trump said he had not spoken to Epstein in over a decade.

I get that you need to throw some bones to the Clintonistas at the convention, but the prominence being afforded to Billary is counter-productive and stupid.

Today in Language

Tim Anderson asks what to call former Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama hanging out as a group.

I offered a suggestion:
