Gotta have a war going so no one talks about Epstein.

One of the gems of the latter simpsons episodes is grandpa mocking the complaints of an iraq war vet "It was too hot, the USO show was rob schneider, US objectives were and remain incomprehensible."

The same will apply here, except the uso show will be kid rock.

Without blowing another big hole in our budget, people might get the idea that we should start taxing the Epstein class to fund things like childcare, healthcare, education, scientific research, feeding, clothing and housing all our people, and updating/fixing our infrastructure here at home.

There is always going to be money to pay for bullshit like this in "defense" of 'merica, but anything done for actual people IN America will have to be means tested and always up for getting cut by the likes of idiots that thought "doge" was a good idea.

"WOOO! 'merica!"

-red hatted idiots, probably

Not to mention giving the crazy xtian fucks their pipe dreams of having Jayzus come back on a cloud and rapture all these morons up while they get to watch other tortured horribly.

I mean, what a perfectly normal ethical system. It doesn't sound at all like a dream of a total psychopath, getting front row seats to others being tortured and reveling in the notion that they'd be tortured forever. By a loving god, because they didn't accept the highly-dubious truth claims and demented ethical system offered up in "the" bible....

Pretty sure it's Fortunate Son.

No, not for nothing. For imperialism, for the Trump-Epstein files, for pork barrel politics, for the MIC, for oil.

This shit makes Vietnam look like a well planned and thought out war.

National emergencies don’t require popularity when elections are canceled.

I wonder if "JD" "Vance" supposedly being a doubter is part of the playbook.

If PEDOnald has to step down to health reasons, "JD" "Vance" looks like the "sensible" one by firing Hegseth and ending this unnecessary war. His poll numbers skyrocket, since he'll be the Republican that won't do all the excesses that PEDOnald had (except he will, he'll just be less stupid and brash about it. It will be much quieter but twice as devious).

In parallel, they stop talking about Epstein at all and won't even take questions about it...maybe one or two fall guys take the hit - perhaps Blondi. No one really big like PEDOnald sees any punishment whatsoever.

They're definitely going to film them putting up a flag somewhere but it won't open the strait of Hormuz.

It's not the only tool he has, it's just the only one he wants to use.

But here's the upside. They're so incompetent that if they encounter armed opposition first it'd be like the SS going up against the Dutch or Norwegian military remnant resistance cells, that is to say abject slaughter.
