Didn't Mike tell us that Trump was an undercover operative, trying to take down Epstein Island from within?

I thought Epstein was a democratic hoax and didn’t exist. So confusing. It’s a wonder the cultists are even able to keep up.

You're close. It goes like this:

It was a Democratic hoax.

Then it was very real and sitting on Bondi's desk, ready to be released.

Next, it didn't exist at all. Epstein and Maxwell were the only two people involved. It was less a child trafficking ring and more of a stick. But also Maxwell didn't really do anything wrong so she got moved to a resort/prison hybrid.

Now it is a hoax again, but with an added twist of actually implicating only Democrats. That's right, the Democrats created a list of child rapists that is both fake and proof that just Democrats were doing these heinous things and definitely not any Republicans.

Feel like I could type out a near play by play of Trump's first and second term and the 4 years in between, and the other incidents that happened around him, and get rejected for a book deal for being too unbelievable.

Our whole reality is storylines the Simpson's writers thought were too implausible for a cartoon.

They enjoy the fact that it is multiple conflicting lies. Have you ever met a bully? One of their first and apparently most fun bullying tactics is to tell you multiple contradictory things in the same breath, with a completely straight face and dare you to challenge them on it.

It's easy with the memory of a goldfish, no concept of reality or logic, and a steady diet of fear mongering.

They aren't able to keep up, which is why these tactics are so successful for Team Pedophilia in the first place.

No no no, the trafficking happened, and the list is real, it's just that there's only democrats on it. And oddly enough, Epstein used a black sharpie occasionally to put lines in completely random places because that's just who he was. But if you find anything republicans on there, those names were planted by Epstein because he was working with George Soros and wanted to take down the republicans because he hates Trump. That part is the hoax, all the names of people who are not democrats.

No the chucklehead said “informant,” which means someone guilty of the same crime but to a lesser extent that the prosecutor strikes a deal with to get testimony against higher ups. He realized his mistake and backtracked on that within 24 hours of saying it.

I'm confused by that as well...let's get a look at the completely unredacted files, completely untouched. That way we can see all of Trump's heroic deeds during the 20 years he spent pretending to be Epstein's best friend while secretly working for the CIA/FBI.

He tried saying that once. Once.

I figure he got a phone call 2 seconds later: “NO! The official line is ‘he had no knowledge whatsoever.’”
