One thing for sure, Trump is much too stupid to know what to do, which is , "Just shut the fuck up."

If Trump had said, "Let's wait for the complete investigation of Epstein's death.", then maybe he would have gained some respect, because that is what a sane person would say. And I think he was told that by some advisors, or someone. Maybe? But Trump does the worst thing, accusing someone just to blame someone and he can get more publicity or whatever. Stupid is indeed stupid.

Trump accuses Clinton of killing Epstein, that is "Proof for Impeachment"

Trump is nuts and needs to be removed. Proof?. Accusing Clinton of being involved in murder. Did Trump really do that? Then that is the proof the country needs for impeachment.

Hard to believe?...here is a link from the Atlantic:

The Shame and Disgrace Will Linger


On Saturday, President Trump spread a conspiracy theory accusing the Clintons of murdering Jeffrey Epstein.

Of course, that never happened. Obviously. How could it, how dare it? But had it happened, such an accusation—by a president, against a former president—would have convulsed the United States and the world. Today, President Trump accused his predecessor, Bill Clinton—or possibly his 2016 campaign opponent, former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton—of complicity in the death of the accused sex-trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein.

Many seem to have responded with a startled shrug. What do you expect? It’s just Trump letting off steam on Twitter.

Reactions to actions by Trump are always filtered through the prism of the ever-more-widely accepted view—within his administration, within Congress, within the United States and around the world—that the 45th president is a reckless buffoon, a conspiratorial racist moron, whose weird comments should be disregarded by sensible people.

A discussion about Ghislaine Maxwell is in order. Epstein's confidant, procurer, and friend

It seems that Maxwell helped to find and bring girls to Jeffery Epstein's island..( It has been said that some were underage girls) I have no proof of anything, these are just pictures at the link. )

Hit the link to see lots of pictures of Ghislaine Maxwell and some others too. Yes, you will recognize some men in the pictures. No, I do not know what the men in the pictures did and with whom. Just pictures for discussion.

McConnell Wants To Consider Gun Background Checks In Fall, Won't Reconvene Senate

Source: Huff Post

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Shifting the gun violence debate, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday he now wants to consider background checks and other bills, setting up a potentially pivotal moment when lawmakers return in the fall.

The Republican leader won't be calling senators back to work early, as some are demanding. But he told a Kentucky radio station that President Donald Trump called him Thursday morning and they talked about several ideas. The president, he said, is "anxious to get an outcome and so am I."

Stakes are high for all sides, but particularly for Trump and his party. Republicans have long opposed expanding background checks -- a bill passed by the Democratic-led House is stalled in the Senate -- but they face enormous pressure to do something after mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, that killed 31 people. McConnell, who is facing protests outside his Louisville home, can shift attention back to Democrats by showing a willingness to engage ahead of the 2020 election.

"What we can't do is fail to pass something," McConnell said. "What I want to see here is an outcome."

McConnell said he and Trump discussed various ideas on the call, including background checks and the so-called “red flag” laws that allow authorities to seize firearms from someone deemed a threat to themselves or others.

“Background checks and red flags will probably lead the discussion,” McConnell told Louisville’s WHAS-AM. He noted “there’s a lot of support” publicly for background checks. “Those are two items that for sure will be front and center as we see what we can come together on and pass.”

Trump went to Texas, but the people in El Paso didn't want him to come to El Paso.

Trump has proved to Texas, that he is an "asshole." Proven beyond doubt. When someone doesn't want you to come to your home, for whatever reasons,( and this was a good reason,) and, you are the one asked not to come to a place, then don't go there. Trump is much to arrogant to figure that out....

GOOD!!!...WHY??

Hard to believe, and it is only a chance, but Trump may lose Texas because of this. A lot of people do not like it when someone is told not to come to a place (for good reasons, people are feeling sad about a terrible incident), and that person comes for his reasons, not the feelings of people who live there. It is a long shot, but people are very sensitive about death and who visits mourners.

Donald Trump is all about Trump. He could have waited. He could have not come at all. But he decided to do what he wanted to do, not what the people in El Paso wanted. I sure hope that costs him Texas in the election if he runs.

Was Trump's El Paso a Truning Point?: NYT

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/08/opinion/el-paso-trump-racism.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage

EL PASO — If consoling the nation in a time of desperate need is a vital and yet simple task of the American presidency, Donald J. Trump failed miserably this week.

From his flight on Wednesday to Dayton, Ohio, to this sprawling high-desert city on the Mexican border, the 45th occupant of the White House not only littered his consolation tour with petty insults — but just to rub salt in the wound, doses of renewed racism. Yet most striking was how alone and outnumbered the president was: rejected, ostracized and told to go home.

The people who streamed the scene of the terrorist attack here — brown, black, white and every hue in between — defiantly defended the nation’s diversity. With no public appearances, the president seemed to shrink, ever more alone as he clung to his white nationalist politics and governance. But he and his supporters were grossly outnumbered. For perhaps the first time in his angry, racist and cruel presidency, the tables were turned in smoldering, righteous popular anger — and he was on the receiving end.

You have to give this to Mr. Trump: He never backs off. He doubles down like a wild gambler in a casino, raising the stakes one more time demanding just a few more chips. . Leaving the White House on Wednesday morning, he said, “I think my rhetoric brings people together,” adding he was “concerned about the rise of any group of hate. I don’t like it, whether it’s white supremacy, whether it’s any other kind of supremacy.”

As if there was some other kind of violent political ideology that has killed people — blacks and whites, Jews and Latinos — from Charlottesville, Va., to Pittsburgh, Dayton and El Paso. Leaving Dayton, Mr. Trump insulted the mayor and a senator from the safety of Air Force One and, of course, Twitter.

Trump even jabbed a racist poke at El Paso, ridiculing the former Democratic Representative Beto O’Rourke’s Spanish first name, though he is of Anglo descent: “Beto (phony name to indicate Hispanic heritage) O’Rourke, who is embarrassed by my last visit to the Great State of Texas, where I trounced him, and is now even more embarrassed polling at 1% in the Democratic Primary, should respect the victims & law enforcement — & be quiet!”
