We all know that they're going to make a big deal out of Kirk's funeral. It'll be Triumph of the Will all over again. I think our side ought to have a big Release the Epstein Files rally. Have the victims speak. Let any Republicans in who want to join.

(17,521 posts)that they might have a break for Lee Greenwood to sing. He'll keel over on top of Charlie's casket. Then Trump will get up and give the eulogy, not mentioning Charlie at all and going on about himself. He'll rile up the crowd about killer trans people and they'll all run out and round up anybody looking androgynous. Then Jim Jordan will have a select committee to investigate the trans threat.
It's entirely possible that all of that can happen. It'll probably be worse.They're going all out with that funeral. They have the Secret Service there already. I expect it to be like a Nuremberg rally.

(17,521 posts)Would they do a sieg heil at a funeral? That bunch probably would. I expect it to be a call to arms, at least if Trump speaks.

FORGET ABOUT EPSTEIN!!! distraction of the day 17 - A Viking funeral will be held at the White House.

We're building a 10 foot high, 10 acre pool on the White House lawn for the ceremony.

(17,521 posts)This all has a strange feel about it. It all feels like one of those dreams where your powerless to stop something and.no one will help. Or maybe that's a memory. Trump is acting like a Roman Emperor and no one is stopping him. Why did we ever make the mistake of having a President who is beholden to no one?
But back to the Epstein files, I think we could also do a very good thing and put a spotlight on human trafficking. People are living in slavery in this country, right under our noses. Jeffrey Epstein was more than just a pedophile or pimp, he was a slave trader. Anyone who is close friends with such a person is in my opinion ineligible to be President.
Who are the other Epsteins out there today? You know there are more. They probably aren't all as rich as Epstein, but they have lots of slaves doing various menial jobs. Where do these people come from? Are they some of the people who go missing every year? People want answers to questions like this, and maybe we can find answers. It's a much more healthy thing to explore than anything Trump wants to do.

Because it works. Hate is powerful, easily created, and well-taught. The "old brain" at work. (Limbic system, you might say Limbaugh system. )
Coverups for greed, power, debauchery ...
It all meshes. This "white privilege" bullshit yearns for the days of slavery, and pre civil rights.
Here is a Korean perspective. They see it.

Anyway, I sense that the escalating rancor is a sign that the "Epstein Event Horizon" is near. I will continue to compose songs until one sticks

I see twin forces, and maybe TWO piles of videos, Epstein and Putin, that may be one. They seem to be the root cause of everything since about 2016, IMNSHO.
IT MUST BE EXPOSED.
