* I usually wouldnt post anything by either Krass bro, but it is backed up by Julie K. Brown. Coincidentally, I just put her book about Epstein on hold at the library.

of the fascists. Nothing will come of this that even leaves a dent in Trumps armor. The fascists need to be cleaned out, first, and watched as they leave the building. Stopped this time if anyone is carrying any boxes.
With all the fascists gone, DC will be a sparsely populated, lonely place.

(4,400 posts)that they obtained actual video of the creepy way tsf was acting around the contestants at one of the beauty pagents. He said it will be released later today from Media's Touch.
I hope at the very least, it will erode his support. No doubt the Cult will scream it's fake, or that he's changed, but the more that comes out, the higher the chance at least some more people might see tsf is exactly the creep we've been telling them he is.

(24,421 posts)For 10 years or more, maga has been lead to believe it is Clinton and a cabal of cannibalistic pedophiles on the 'list'. This is what they have been drooling over. This is why they are so enraged. If it turns out there are mostly republicans on the list? Everybody duck.

(37,790 posts)You can just tell from the videos they put out that they (the Trumpniks*) think we're as cultish for Clinton as they are for Trump. They can't wrap their heads around the notion that Clinton may have viewed Epstein's orbit as "concentration of megarich = fundraising feeding ground" but if he was actually a "customer" we're fine with the legal equivalent of roasting him alive. We backed him once over a blatant hypocritical hit job, but that ship has sank.
*I've come to think that we need to start always associating them with the Soviets, not the Nazis. They're starting to openly embrace being Nazis, but treating them as Soviets is triggering.

(4,400 posts)than Hitler. Stalin had narcissistic personality disorder too, and was easily manipulated by people who would fake fawning over him. His disdain for those who were critical of him and paranoia was also used to provoke him. My European Studies, history professor, said Hitler snuck phony intelligence into Russia,through double agents, that Stalin's best Generals planned to assinate him. Stalin apparently had them executed, thus weakening Russia 's defense against Germany.

(24,421 posts)"I'm going to get all the communists out of government" then turns around and praises communist and authoritarian dictators, calling them "powerful leaders". While China is still ruled by communists, most of the countries are not technically "Communist" anymore, but they are considered very low on the human rights scale. Hungary, Russia, Turkey.

(6,016 posts)That's why it's blowing up so big on Trump. Trump exploited such theories to get elected, but now he is not keeping his promise-- primarily because the conspiracy theory is wacko and not going to be supported by evidence, the smoking gun his supporters want doesn't exist AND because he was a good buddy of Epstein perhaps with something to hide.

(26,515 posts)Guessing the diamond encrusted bat signal went out to signify it was time to take him out. Lord knows they'd rather deal with someone more competently corrupt like Thiel and his lapdog Vance.
Trump is too embarrassing and the extortion of their sect cant be going over well. Thiel and Vance on the other hand will wire the US Treasury reserves and the Medicare/SSA Trust funds over to their WS casino accounts within the day.

cliffside
(1,047 posts)I was trying to remember the name from that time at DU, there were so many threads.
Now this from a DU search of Fitzmas and a couple of decades later.
"AI Overview
On the Democratic Underground (DU) forums, "Fitzmas" was a term used around 2005, primarily in reference to the investigation led by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald into the outing of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative.
This term is essentially a play on "Christmas," expressing a hopeful anticipation among some DU users that the investigation would lead to indictments and reveal wrongdoing within the Bush administration. Some posts even used phrases like "And a very merry Fitzmas to you too" and discussed "the night before Fitzmas".
