This Epstein stuff, as bad as it is, is just a diversion. His cult will deny all of it no matter the proof in front of their faces. The gop will never confront him on this or talk of resignation. The dems have been so focused on this for so long and I think it will all fizzle out in time. We all know the truth and how much he was involved but it won’t make a bit of difference in the long run. We have to get the mid terms right next year. Our only way out is at the ballot box, and even that is suspect.
