"A Spaniard in the Works"

Since it is unlikely anyone on DU is wondering, “What might H2O Man think of the felon's saying that he broke up with Epstein for 'poaching' teenage girls from mar-a-lago?” I will write a brief note.

Earlier, the felon said he kicked Epstein from his orbit because Jeffery was a “creep.” His lawyer told him that is not what he should say, because it shows he knew Epstein was a sex offender who went after children. That is not a good look. Hence, the lawyer told him to go with the poaching bit.

Also, I had confirmation that the members of the administration are convinced the 50th birthday note was provided to the Wall Street Journal by Maxwell's brother. Republicans are said to be telling the White House that Maxwell is far too toxic to be pardoned or otherwise released. Apparently, Bondi has suggested that Maxwell be sent to either England or France, as she has passports to both.

Finally, for those who do not recognize the title I used here, please read John Lennon's second book. I don't intend to use things that cause great confusion for anyone here to struggle with, as in the case of my last OP. It means I do not have time today to make my usual long and tedious post …... but I shall soon.

The contents of the book consisted entirely of such malapropisms.

a copy of it with his first book, "In His Own Write," with an introduction by Paul McCartney, from Simon & Schuster (1981). Were John alive, I am convinced he would have called it a foreskin by Paul. The art work in both books is wonderful.

Been better for us now had traitor Dimdonnie been prosecuted, tried and jailed with extreme haste.

The Heritage Satiety could worry about getting dip out.

as well as bitcoin and golden sneakers.

I hope we can peel off quite a few though.

I would have loved to be in the room when he was advised to say Epstein stole Virgina Giuffre.

By saying that little does he know he is making an admission.

He's so fucking stupid.

is that MTG says she has had more e-mails on this issue than any other. It seems that the magas are focused on seeing the files they were promised by the felon's campaign. I am reminded of Rubin telling me decades ago that "there is nothing more dangerous than tax-payers who know they have been had."

The maga cult is beginning to understand that the Epstein files contain things that must be severely damaging to the felon, or the administration would be putting the cards on the table. Relatively few are falling for the attempted distractions.

Keep in mind the classified documents the felon stole and tried to keep at mar-a-lago.
