The felon-in-chief has asked the DOJ to investigate Democrats mentioned in the Epstein scandal files. Surely, most of the DU community recalls the DOJ's FBI memo from July 7, 20025:
We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.

It is unlikely that corporate journalists will as anyone in the administration more probing questions than, What changed? yet we all know that the scaredycat-in-chief is desperate. Notice his attempted attack on Marjorie Taylor Greene in the wake of this week's Epstein scandal saga. This behavior is, in my opinion, interesting to consider in the context of human evolution.
A grasp of human evolution requires that we recognize that modern human beings are animals. As a group, we are as savage as our primitive ancestors. Our species, like every other one, was brought forth by the sun and earth. We share a vast number of similarities with numerous other life forms, past and present. There are examples found in our language that recognize this. The felon wants to be the top dog. He wants maga politicians to respect his version of the pecking order. In my day, teenage males sometimes provided solid evidence of their stupidity by playing chicken.
Rather than my going into an annoying detail, let's just recognize that many animals engage in ritual behaviors involving potential sex and potential violence. Though it is something I never would have thought or said in my own life, let's skip sex for this discussion. On to violence, and for sake of discussion, focus briefly upon violence within members of a species. I advocate same-species sex for humans, too, an opinion that accelerates when viewing the maga population.
Humans are social creatures, and thus, like with many other animals, tend to live in groups. Everyone who watched Chimp Empire knows that this tends to include two forms of violence. The first is in the context of a territorial dispute with another group, in which actual violence often takes place. The alpha male leads the group into a battle with the opposition.
This is distinct from the violence within the group to establish who is the alpha male. In many species, including human beings, this connects with what we are witnessing today with our beast fiend, the felon. It involves a display of size, strength, and intensity that intends to intimidate any potential challenger. We have likely all seen films of an alpha chimp or gorilla pounding its chest, smashing things around it, and issuing a challenge that translates to come experience the fangs of a more powerful foe. These behaviors tend to maintain the alpha's status within the group, as democracy is an option limited to only the most civilized of human beings.
While we have witnessed the felon bluffing strength by attacking vulnerable targets in the past, I can say with 100% confidence that this is different. I base my opinion on over sixty years in the great sport of boxing. There are two instances where the two fighters will meet before fighting: at the weigh-in, and during the referee's instructions before the first bell.
These days, weigh-ins are the day before the fight. Both fighters attempt to gain a psychological advantage, which can include stare-downs or pushing and shoving, or even throwing a punch. Back in the day, Sonny Liston won fights before the first bell rang, with an intensely hostile stare. He did not need words or gimmicks. Years later, a prime George Foreman or Mike Tyson did the same.
Now, I'm not foolish enough to compare myself with these great champions. But I have been a participant in numerous weigh-ins and referees' instructions. Out of 329 fights, I could list on one hand the number of opponents who did not show some type of fear or doubt before the first round. It's like a dog smelling fear on an opponent who will submit when they can not maintain your stare, or change their behaviors in that brief moment as the referee speaks.
The felon's stance on the Epstein scandal might be compared to a pin ball bouncing about. It has included lies of course and bluffs of being the roughest, toughest alpha ever. At the weigh-in on newly released Epstein documents, we see threats to investigate Democrats and an empty threat aimed at Marginally Taylor Greene. Add this to his having his corner men's pressuring something known as Lauren Boebert to create an avenue for him to avoid this fight. He is afraid.
It is not that the Epstein scandal alone will knock his ass out. It is the synergy of several issues, such as the economy, and his status as a lame fuck.
