3. If it had been over every time we said it was over, it would be over.

It's not over.

It won't be until they roll his lard-encased carcass into some kind of container, and bury it under five feet of concrete.

5. I think he's taking a few days to adapt to his new lame duck position

He doesn't have any victories yell about, and every tantrum he throws about Epstein hits him back twice as hard. I'm sure he'll get hysterical again just as soon as he becomes accustomed to losing more and more political capital.

7. His lack of verve over the shutdown's end certainly merits notice

I wrote a post titled "Trump won the Shutdown," but now I'm wondering.

In any case, it seems pretty clear that Dems have handled the shutdown's end very well: releasing the three Epstein emails on the same day as Grijalva's swearing in and finalization of the Epstein discharge petition was a stroke of genius, you ask me. It provided another news item next to the shutdown's end, and muted the GOP crowing. Pretty good.

Maybe the Dems are finally learning about contemporary media cycles?

8. He's cooking up something terrible

to distract attention from Epstein.

He's like a cornered rat (no offense to rats)

9. His delemma is that he doesn't know which lies to tell

He knows what's in the DOJ Epstein files so he can lie about those, but he doesn't know what is in the files held by the Epstein family and what might drop next from that source. For all he knows they are holding back a thing or two and waiting for him to lie again before dropping a stone on his head.

13. He and his minions are making up lies to deflect from this story

Wait for the “ emails are fake” made up to humiliate him.

I wouldn’t want to be the cleanup crew in his private quarters. Probably a case of ketchup full of!

14. Last two posts on Truth Social 23 hours ago called it the Jeffery Epstein Hoax

And trying to say we are using this to distract from "our failure with the shutdown". But it appears his team may have grabbed his phones or TruthSocial is delaying his posts.

15. Scrolling through my FB feed: Trump has been quiet on Truth Social for 17 hours. LMFAO

It's a new world's record! Cue the usual "he's done, stick a fork in him!". Until his dirty minions come up with some new horror.
