It's out there now, it's one of those "alternative facts."

So...

We don't need any alternative facts.

and for people who want me to trust them. It is this:

If you deliberately lie to me about anything important, you lose my trust. At best, I will fact check anything you tell me. At worst, I will completely discount anything you say from then on.

I don't have time to deal with lies. I'm not interested in dealing with lies. It is that simple and that rigid.

It's possible to regain my trust, but only if you admit that you lied deliberately and tell me you will never do that again. And I'll check every time until I'm satisfied. If you're a public figure, you get no second chance with me. Period.

If people believe Trump blew Clinton, I don't care. Its totally unimportant to me and if it hurts Trump a little then all the better.

Once a spouse has lied, it becomes very difficult to ever trust that person again. The older we get, the less we become tolerate of willful deceit.

we all wonder

The senator from South Carolina fits the bill

I'm bracing myself for the "saulsbury steak" memes

The internet got a little silly.

However, I think this hurts Trump and the Republicans much more than it hurts Democrats.

We want all the names released. We are willing to let the chips fall. Trump is desperately hiding things.

Associating Trump with Clinton - especially suggesting gay sex (gasp) - hurts Trump in the eyes of MAGATs. I'm sure Bill Clinton is laughing about this. Trump is obviously not laughing.

We know it’s not Clinton.

The point is that it humiliates Trump. It makes him an object of ridicule.

Bill Clinton will be fine. Trump will not.

But I’m just here for the memes and jokes at Trump’s expense. I love seeing MAGA squirm.

It could be a person (C.R. "Bubba" Saulsbury Jr.) to be specific.

My take is that "Bubba" is a drug and that he was blowing AKA taking/snorting drugs.

During his first term, I saw white stuff fly out of Trump's nose on three different occasions while he was on TV. I'm not kidding, I actually saw it for myself. I should have wrote the dates down that I viewed this.

Friend to Vance and Patel.

But I've found that the Epstein matter is prime breeding ground for hysteria and illogical thinking on all accounts, rivaled only by a certain unnamed political issue or two.

He's been rather forthcoming on other things involving his brother....

which just further humiliates him. And that, to me, is a good thing.

in fear of mockery

There are other highly incriminating things against trump in the emails

If Mark Epstein is to be believed, he wasn't joking, but was referring to a different person...

that Bubba was the name of Maxwell's horse...

That isn't quite the defense they think it is.

Pretty early on we knew that the couch story was not real. But we still use it to make fun of Vance. I see no reason to not make fun of TACO and spread memes far and wide. We know both of these things are not true, or at least unknowable. But making fun of them ? Hell yes!

It's trivial and incorrect. I can think of at least 100 reasons not to support Vance. Truly, I would not care if the couch thing were true.

That is the problem with mass document dumps whether that is anything from JFK, Saudi Cables, etc. There are tens of thousands of files with information that lacks context. You need a skilled investigative journalist to dig through each file fact check them and try to find the context for the text.

Most of it is pretty useless if you dig through it and try to figure it out on your own. With the Wikileaks dump of the Russia hacked DNC emails the right and others made up conspiracies out of very mundane files so that can be a problem.

However, when it comes to sociopaths there is nothing really that would surprise me. They don't think like regular people with empathy.

Though wouldn't that be special?

men of my father's generation (Boomer) and mine (Gen X) who were called "Bubba" as nicknames.

Between "Bubba" and "Butch"...that covered half the older men I knew and this was in Wisconsin.
