Epstien is the cover for the GOP to turn against the Clown King.

They can't continue supporting him without losing, so they are jumping on the band wagon to take him down via his past sins. They can't win future elections with him, but this gives them the perfect excuse to say they supported him until all hell broke loose and were shocked like everyone else.

The economic policies, social agenda, etc. will be quietly swept under the rug under the guise of a sin. That's all they can do to save their own ass.

Planned to be replaced by Vance and tech bros.

And all that horrid legislation? "oh that's (the late) Trump's fault" Nothing to see here.


ON EDIT.
Would be interesting if Trump Agnews Vance on the way out.

Added:
Would be interesting if friction develops between Trump and Vance as Trump deteriorates and as he might resent someone taking his place, (not Junior) and since Vance is IMO allied with the tech bros, falls out of favor with maga.

Especially with the Trump/Musk spat over economic policy, and with Vance asking for the release of more Epstein material.

The following is representative of the fascist nutjob branch of Silicon Valley.

These posts contain, or link to, important understanding of the twisted mentality of Elon and company. It's not the same as the violent race hate of maga. More subtle and sneaky.

Roots in some twisted philosophy. Curtis Yarvin is the main one.

I’m familiar with Spiro Agnew and the scandal that drove him out but can’t figure out what you mean. Thx

I was being too cryptic. Sorry.

I just meant that Vance (by some unknown means) exits before Trump.

He's probably hated by much of MAGA for his un-Trumpian manner.

And the fact that he demanded some Epstein material might be a wedge.

Odds? Low, but with crazies on the loose, you never know.

I can rewrite that, and now that you mention it, I will. Thx.

Make it so!

For him to lose his job for this subject would not only be some sweet justice, but he'd forever be known as PEDO-FAIL POTUS (well, to me anyway) which will chap his ass good.
