If we determine that Donald Trump's involvement in sex trafficking was part of an official act as a future president, then the Constitution demands that he face no consequences.

Meta snacks! What will they think of next?

Josef Mengele would've had a simlar take on Trump.

Well, after all....that decision IS your call, isn't it? Just sayin'.

NPR confirms that Trump’s name appears over 1,000 times in the Epstein emails.

Remember, these are the emails they allowed to be released.

They’re still hiding most of the documents.

Only 5% of religious leaders who support Trump would respond, and they would all be the same anyway: "Forgiveness..blah, blah, blah..let he who is without sin cast the first stone..blah, blah, blah..these unfortunate acts were before Trump found God's grace..blah, blah, blah...Hillary is a lesbian."

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document—

"I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

Next month's jobs report issued by the White House:

"Hey everybody. Did you hear that Circle K is hiring part time clerks? Whooo hooo!"

Can you find the mistake?

EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.

*There is no mistake. EPSTEIN.

During Hillary's POTUS campaign, Bill Clinton met with Atty General Loretta Lynch for a few minutes on her plane. There was no evidence whatsoever that it was anything more than a social call. But the press excoriated Bill, Hillary and AG Lynch. Trump's Epstein damage control meeting? Page 19 stuff.

Maybe he'll write a book about West Virginia. He could call it, "Wheeling Through Wheeling".

"We've been outgrifted by our fellow Republicans in the other chamber? Egregious! Outrageous! And why didn't we think of this first?"

I could have watched and listened to the interactions between those vets and President Obama all day. Honest. I wish that there were 1,000 being greeted.

Except his dignity, of course.

Yes. Yes I do, as a matter of fact.

Schumer wanted this. How else could his own whip, Dick Durbin, vote with the Republicans? Schumer's whip. The man responsible for strongarming votes for leadership. He can't control his whip? If Durbin went against Schumer's wishes, he can prove it by dismissing him and appointing someone else.

When I was a kid, my dad took me to a wrestling match. When the dastardly villain George "The Animal" Steele climbed into the ring to wrestle the beloved Bruno Sammartino, Steele was booed mercilessly! But it STILL wasn't as loud as the booing that crowd gave to Trump!

💯

Your sources had it 100%. And Schumer caved. He engineered this. To anyone who doesn't think so, this: The one vote a Senate Leader can count on is his whip. It's the job of the whip to cajole/strongarm votes in line with leadership's wishes. Schumer's whip, Dick Durbin, voted with Republicans.

You've never heard a POTUS booed that bad? When I was a kid, I went to a wrestling match and the Iron Sheik was not booed this loudly.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

The old "We must destroy the Affordable Care Act in order to save it", eh Senator Shaheen? No sale. I've heard that one before.

This capitulation is all Schumer's doing. The Senate whip has a specific function. The whip cajoles and strongarms party members to vote with leadership. The one person the Senate Minorioty (or Majority) Leader can count on is their whip. Schumer's whip is Dick Durbin, who voted with the Republicans

This was Schumer's baby. The Senate whip (either party's) has a specific function. The whip cajoles and strongarms party members to vote with leadership. The one person the Senate Minorioty Leader (or Majority) can count on is their whip. Schumer's is Dick Durbin, who voted with the Republicans.

I’m not surprised that they caved, but I am surprised that they waited until after gaining electoral momentum to do it.
