Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

Yikes. And they called Biden a creep

A House Oversight subcommittee has approved a motion to direct the full committee chairman to issue a subpoena for Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. 

The motion was offered by Republican Rep. Tim Burchett.

I am still worried by how the lack of understanding of consequences leads to this.

He basically glorified his views…now he is crying foul. What a moron.

so Trumps big card to play is to pardon ghislaine maxwell ? Midas Touch speculated that it is her that leaked the trump Epstein birthday letter and is applying pressure for a release.

David Frum on Twitter… I said something similar on the thread a few days ago.

The Trump administration is so corrupt they are well capable of this:

Next acts of the drama:

1) Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell

2) Maxwell affirms Trump's version of events

3) MAGA is astonished and offended that non-MAGA suspects a quid pro quo

she will go to congress and say it was all Clinton and Biden and Obama and then Trump pardons her…. The DOJ are all Trump loyalist, this is a scheme

A question (or two) that might seem strange; It seems to me that a lot of us believe that a lot of U.S citizens do not have passports needed for foreign travel, have never been outside U.S borders and are therefore insular in belief. If that is true, would that not have an effect on their voting habits, seeing as they have not experienced foreign travel, have not lived with the locals abroad and not experienced living abroad which would have broadened their horizons literally.

Would a limited experience to foreigners living styles have left them at the mercy of their politicians like Trump, who has been abroad and knows the weakness of an insular upbringing?

I am excluding U.S citizens who have served abroad in various functions and employments and the average visitor to the auld country their forebears came from in Europe in the hope they'd have had their eyes opened.

One thing that I keep seeing is the unpleasant chance - for some-one - that there's a locked box somewhere which is only to be opened in the case of an unusual demise, life insurance as it were. One has to look towards whomever is more likely to be caught in the media spotlight if something were to happen to Maxwell, ala Epstein, something with more power than an oddly worded birthday greeting card. Epstein died before Maxwell went to prison.

REPORTER: Gabbard has submitted a criminal referral. Who should the DOJ target?

TRUMP: It would be President Obama. And Biden was there with him ... the leader of the gang was Obama. Barack Hussein Obama. He's guilty. This is treason.

Two things. Every time he says Hussein, it shows he is a racist piece of ****.

Secondly, more distraction BS. He's hoping his base hates Obama more than they hate paedophiles.

After his latest charge against Obama accusing him of treason, and Gabbard accusing Obama and others of treason and sedition, I have no doubt whatsoever that Trump is terrified of losing hold of the presidency and facing retribution for his varied crimes.

The question now is who is going to take the big step and gut him by releasing incontrovertible proof to the media and the internet of Trump's guilt; a Republican or a Democrat?

Speaker Johnson appears to be scared shitless as well by refusing to allow the Epstein affair go to a vote on the floor for an investigation. It's time to cut loose and start a run on Johnson by asking, on the internet: Mr Speaker, what do YOU KNOW about the Epstein file?
