    Ask him his opinions on how the looks of teenage girls change as they approach drinking age, and he’ll answer enthusiastically before realizing he shouldn’t have.

    Trump, though, has shown little interest in discussing either of his former friends, and on Tuesday rambled on for seven minutes and 41 seconds, generating 1,281 words, about Obama and his top aides, claiming that they had illegally begun an investigation about the help he received from Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 presidential election.

    LOL. :)

      the help he received from Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 presidential election

      I kinda wonder if they’ve reached a point where they think their control over the political situation is so unassailable that they can just openly admit everything they’ve done. Unfortunately, I’m not sure they’d be wrong if they did think that.

      I took a screenshot and came here to post this lol. I wish more coverage of Trump was in this this style.

      Reporter: asks a question about Epstein.

      Trump: [18.32min, 5.7k words redacted: not relevant] “…I barely knew Epstein. Now Obama…” [6.87min, 1.1k words redacted: not relevant]

      Reporter: …you say you barely knew him?

    The House Oversight Committee, however, agreed in a voice vote to ask Maxwell to provide a deposition.

    So sad to hear of her upcoming suicide.

      Watch as she and Bondi miraculously name the same names as fall guys. If that doesn’t shut people up (all the mainstream media will accept the cover story, but social media harder to control the narrative) by the time Congress is back from recess the regime will give us bigger problems to be concerned with.

        But unfortunately during her suicide the camera mysteriously turned towards the wall. Very unfortunate technical issue.

      It’s the dementia. If you go back and read some of his birther nonsense for instance, it was clearly complete bullshit, but there was at least a thread of pseudo coherence to it that people who really really wanted to believe because they were racist could grasp onto. This is just complete mush.

        The steep irony of birtherism is that, had Obama lost and McCain won the election, it would had to have been legally adjudicated whether or not McCain was actually a viable candidate based on the circumstances of his birth.

        McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone the year before people born in the PCZ were automatically granted citizenship at birth. The same rule retroactively provided people like McCain citizenship, but he was quite clearly not a citizen of the US at birth as is required by the constitution. Arguably he would have never been allowed to be president because of that fact. But everybody was too distracted with racist birtherism to care about that reality, and ultimately the actual born citizen (Obama) ended up winning. So the issue never was settled formally

      Lying is one of those things where you generally get worse at it as time goes on, due to having to lie to cover up previous lies and so on.

      SAD!

    That didn’t happen. (He denied any involvement) And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. (He denied been any part of the trafficking) And if it was, that’s not a big deal. (It was a long time ago) And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

    Eventually, we will get to hear why those children deserved to be raped.

      Pfft. You must be looking at things like “evidence”, “victim testimony saying that Trump an Epstein played a sick child rape game”, and “Epstein saying he was Trump’s best friend for over a decade”. All meaningless stuff that doesn’t exist, except it does exist, but it was written by Hillary Clinton and Obama even though Bill Clinton is in there, and also they won’t release the files because child porn or something. Also something about the Deep State that totally exists and is not controlled by Trump.

      Please don’t look behind the curtain. Nothing to see here.

        If someone’s going with the assumption it wasn’t Epstein who did it to himself, Donald would logically be the number one suspect. Here we have Jeff Epstein’s best friend, who admitted he had the same “On the younger side” tastes (in addition to on his own time bragging that if he found someone attractive he sexually assaults them and he’ll get away with it because he’s famous, but you aren’t allowed to use that confession against him because he was in a locker room when he said it), and was in charge of the prison where he died, wished the woman who trafficked for Jeff, sometimes from Donald’s shithole club, well, explicitly said he probably won’t release files on Epstein because of “false accusations”, and is now doing everything he can to make good on that not releasing them.

      Not a doubt in my mind…

      If nobody has, read it now, before they pull it from the house website…

      I was Donald Trump’s closest friend.

      In 2002, Trump told New York Magazine of Epstein, “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side

        Looks like we know what the public hasn’t seen:

        Wolff also said Thursday that the pedophile showed off photos of Trump with topless young women sitting in his lap.

        Haven’t heard this anecdote yet:

        He alleged that he and Trump would pick up women by combining to split them from their male companions. “We always used to go to Atlantic City to try to find girls in the casino,” he said. “And if there was a guy, I would say, ‘I’m here to invite the guy to go out to dinner.’ And he’d say, [to the woman], ‘Let me show you the casino.’ And as he walked out, he put his arm around the girl’s shoulder, and the bodyguard would walk up and Donald, whoosh, take the girl away.”

        People forget that Epstein was arrested for this in 2005 too but federal prosecutor (under Bush and Obama), Alex Acosta gave him a sweetheart deal of a non-prosecution agreement if he plead guilty to a single charge of soliciting a prostitute in 2008. Alex Acosta was then made Labor Secretary by Donald Trump years later when he became president.
