"Nobody is buying what Trump is selling on Epstein. His net approval on it is an absolutely dreadful -39 pts... Far worse than any other major issue.
It isn't improving over time.
Even among the GOP, just 45% (!) approve of the job the Trump admin is doing on the Epstein case."
~ Harry Enten quoted by Greg Dworkin
“A'll he wants is a ballroom, stadiums named after him, the Arc de Trump, to party with his rich friends, and for billionaires to kiss his ass.' She added, 'He doesn’t care about anybody who voted for him—and neither does his party!'”

"Looking out for the top .0001 percent: Donald’s presidency is not about governing. It’s about extracting as much money and power as possible for himself and his inner circle of grifters. It’s all a big grift."

"A new document shows Jeffrey Epstein asking his lawyer to look into Donald Trump’s finances in 2012."

Ask yourselves a simple question: What is the most reliable way to divert the American media’s attention from the Epstein files? You go to war.
"In a sane world:
The voters would never elect a pathological liar, malignant narcissist, sadist and sociopath who hates most of the country’s people—a broken man who is chiefly interested in enriching himself, getting attention, creating havoc, savoring violence and seeking retribution against his perceived enemies."

"It’s ridiculous that we have to protect these wealthy, insanely powerful people, while at the same time having Donald Trump deliberately sabotage our economy. You look around, there’s layoffs everywhere. You know, everything is not just a little bit more expensive, it’s significantly more expensive than it was even three years ago, say. And why? Where’s the money, man?"

What will the release of the Epstein files reveal? What surprises might we be in store for? Here are some possibilities.
"Where’s the money? It’s not like there’s no money. It’s there somewhere. Who has it?"

"We are watching the ideology of the far-right MAGAs smash against reality, with President Donald J. Trump and his cronies madly trying to convince voters to believe in their false world rather than the real one. ...
MAGA has been at least partly demoralized by the information coming out of the Epstein documents, with right-wing influencer Dinesh D’Souza, for example, defending Trump by saying:"

"'Right now, we don’t have anyone else.' Trump media ally Stephen Bannon told supporters: 'Trump’s…an imperfect instrument, but one infused by divine providence. Without him, we’d have nothing.'”
"The convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein apparently served as a behind-the-scenes adviser to the former Trump official and Maga influencer Steve Bannon during an August 2018 media campaign to defend Trump and his agenda, and to promote Bannon’s media ventures."

"Text messages released by the House oversight committee on Wednesday detail a six-day exchange between the men from 17 to 23 August, and show Epstein coaching Bannon on television appearances and political messaging."
"The Epstein Files are a case study in what happens when a society loses the will to tell the truth, or worse, when people decide the truth doesn’t matter unless it benefits their side.
We are living in a moment where truth feels optional for the powerful. Where conspiracy outshouts clarity. Where myth-making overwhelms moral imagination. The Epstein files aren’t just a scandal; they’re a warning."

Why Truth Matters Even When Power Pretends It Doesn’t
"The recent spate of Epstein reporting also fails to inform readers that Trump has been accused of sexual harassment and abuse by at least 25 women, from the 1970s through the early 2000s—including the time when he and Epstein were friends. Nor do the reporters mention that Trump was caught on tape in 2005 boasting about sexually assaulting women."

"The mainstream media is constantly trying to find ways to cater to an imagined centrist reader—and constantly trying to find ways to bring in right wing readers who they’ve lost to the conservative media bubble. Epstein is the rare story which allows them to do that while vociferously criticizing Trump."

"The mainstream Epstein stories, then, are essentially being written for an imagined MAGA reader, even if MAGA readers aren’t the ones most likely to read them. And I think that shapes what details are considered important and which ones aren’t.
Or, to put it another way, the mainstream media is not actually interested in Trump’s character, or in his judgement, or in his fitness for office. They’re not even really interested in whether he is a sexual abuser."
It's obvious from ten years of coverage that the MSM doesn't see Trump's character, judgement, dodgy ties or sexual assaults to be newsworthy ...unless providing bothsides coverage of a scandal.
Never, ever, a big picture overview and analysis... Unless couched as an OpEd or Editorial, but not factual.
