'Exonerated My Ass' - jojofromjerz

"If Donald Trump has been 'totally exonerated' by the carefully hand-selected scraps of Epstein files his own so-called Department of Justice was dragged kicking and screaming by subpoena into releasing, then I’m a natural fucking blonde who never fucking swears."

"Monday night on Air Force One, Donald Trump waddled out to the press cabin and announced his total exoneration from documents he had not read — with the glazed, self-satisfied certainty of a man who had just been told by his favorite doctor that he remains the most vigorous, metabolically gifted specimen ever to inhale oxygen. He had not read the files. He had been 'briefed,' he explained, by 'very important people' — the full-time, on-retainer, federally funded taint-licking chorus of yes-men, sycophants, and professionally supine ass-kissers whose singular job function is to keep their lips so firmly pressed to every available surface of this man’s saggy underballs that reality cannot wedge itself in."

"He declared himself cleared by evidence he had not seen."

"Schrödinger’s innocence. Perfectly preserved so long as the box stays closed."

"This man has been 'exonerated' so many times by so many things that did not exonerate his gold-plated grievance-gobbling ass that the word itself should be chain-smoking outside a long-dead Beefsteak Charlie’s under a flickering parking lot light, wondering how it became the emotional support crutch for a man who has been criminally convicted more times than he’s been faithful to a wife."

That’s especially true when it comes to Epstein: www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
