One of Trump’s innumerable toxic legacies will be his frequent use of “bad people” as a description. He also recently deployed it against the CBS reporter in Texas for asking a question, and coupled “bad people” with Shylock in Iowa to describe bankers.

It’s also projection—on some level narcissists know what they are and accuse other people of being those things.

I’m sorry you have had that experience, Julie. You know well that accusations are confessions.

Me too…almost 15 years to a covert narcissist! Nothing more toxic and evil! Took me years to recover from the trauma! But, it also helped me recognize who and what tRump is early on. Glad you got out of that situation and I definitely sympathize. 🌹🫶🏻

Exactly what you said about recognizing the crazy of it all!!

Sadly I stayed tooooo long, so it’s been a slow healing process, but I’m getting there!

Sorry you went through that too…

I was completely lost when I finally left, just an empty shell of whoever I was before him. Finding myself has been a journey in itself! You take as long as you need. 🌹

“Only bad people want the Epstein files released.”

Translation: Only bad people want the truth.

Thanks for the confession, Donnie.

Let it burn.

Let her testify.

Let the roaches run.

He made the bed and now he has to sleep in it. Let him have a taste of his own medicine. It will be very salutary for our democracy and our country as a whole. I have popcorn for the thrilling spectacle and an expensive bottle to uncork for the day when he becomes a political dead body…it may take a while, but it will come.

There was a Truth Social Post from Donnie Boy yesterday that said 14-year-old girls are almost women. In my opinion, this is admitting that he did rape young girls. The TS post was in a Meidas article yesterday. The walls are crumbling for old Donnie Boy.

When I came to this country the Republicans were the ones acted all censorious and outraged around the time of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Now they don’t bat an eye when their president pays for the silence of a porn star, let alone al that came after that. They have changed, but so have we and the whole world. I still have some nostalgia for those old time Republicans who were fiscally responsible conservatives…..

So true Ana. I feel the Republicans are cowards. To allow America to be destroyed will come back and haunt them one day. I feel the reckoning is coming. I'm from that time as well, when being Republican meant something other than racism and perversion.

I hope that Trump's MAGA base are starting to realize that they are following a clown who makes them look as stupid & foolish as he is. I hope they are getting tired of Trump's BS and find out that this jerk is going to destroy their lives. I think that Trump's not funny to them any more because they are starting to realize that the last laugh is on them. All MAGAs will wake up to this eventually.

i don't know if they will. they are in a cult, and it can take awhile to come back to reality. the leader showing he has no clothes is a good start!

It might take some reprogramming for his cult members to realize that Donnie Boy is not a good person. For those Republicans working for Donnie who don't realize that he will not be in office forever, they are harming their chances of being elected to a future office.

I was at the table today with the in-laws and once I got going, I was stunned to here I was cogent, coherent, and had receipts. I have never been the most informed person in the room, it was odd. But Lev helped me slam it over the net. I couldn’t believe what I have been devouring here actually made me sound like an effective communicator. Maybe I am. Now, we need so many millions more if. To borrow a quote about the Pacific theater in WWII, “One Damn Island at a Time”

Yes thanks to Lev we have facts and credibility. Ahead of the curve always. Will keep up the pressure. MAGA’s outrage will grow the more Trump resists and Bondi sticking to her position is further screw you to MAGA.

Have Maxwell testify before Congress because she knows everything about Trump and Epstein! EVERYTHING!!!

Julie Smalley's avatar

But maybe she’ll lie and say that Trump isn’t on there! She wants a pardon and she knows he’s the only one who can. She couldn’t have made a deal with the DOJ. That wouldn’t fly! So why would she call him out on it? She wants out. And if she is charged with lying to Congress, again he will

Pardon her. But in the meantime, hopefully she’ll watch her back!

How do we know she will tell the whole truth? She’s looking for a pardon. I want the entire files released.

Transparency. Let the chips fall as they may. Justice for the girls!

And what if she pleads the 5th? Does she get immunity?

Maxwell has a plea before the U.S. Supreme Court. Any attorneys out there know whether the Supreme Court can give her immunity to testify? An Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics here and whoever sexually molested these young girls broke the law and should be punished to the full extent of the law!!!

listen to the victims that have spoken out - there’s your proof - they all have the same story of what happened to them in the hands of Trump and Epstein . Zev’s reporting is eye opening 😳😩

"It meant more to the base than tax cuts. More than immigration. More than walls. It meant justice."

Because MAGA were led to believe that DEMOCRATS THEY HATE were all over that list. That was the justice they want. They want people they have been taught to believe drink baby blood along with a slice are the pedos.

I'm along for this ride, ya betcha. This all soon will be over. For Trump. And then we can start the massive rebuilding we need to get us back to Square One, which is January 19, 2025.

I would be shocked if there weren’t plenty of Democrats in those files. The QAnon conspiracy is mostly antisemetic bunk, but likely there’s elements of truth to it. Those of us who truly want justice and transparency want the whole truth, whatever political damage it may cause on both sides.

I’m telling you, Lev. They’re covering up for pedos. In a deranged and unhinged post on social media yesterday, Trump called for the prosecution of Senator Adam Schiff in order to divert attention from this.

And as Trump gets even more desperate, he is going to double down on the political repression and retribution. But as you have been saying, Lev, Democrats must not let up on this issue. Trump lied to his most devoted adherents about it.

And also as you have repeatedly pointed out, MAGA is rooted in these conspiracy theories. So, this coverup may very well cause MAGA to unravel.

Don't forget the victim who has a video tape, done by Epstein, of trump sexually abusing a minor..... it's on tape!!! So, just imagine what ELSE is out there. I just read that the client list was just released on the dark web.... I don't know if that's true or not, but if it is, hot damn! The orange Mussolini must be sweating bullets. Maybe the stress of this will do him in?? 🙏🙏🙏

I hope you saved all your MAGA swag and merch, Lev.

There will come a day when those red hats, those shirts, especially “blacks for Trump” and “Latinos for Trump” will be worth a TON of money as historically important collectibles. When the MAGA fanbase finally realize he is a monster, all his followers will destroy them and deny they ever owned one.

It will be exactly like when a teen pop idol becomes “uncool”- one day they are selling out stadiums in NYC, a week later they can’t fill an arena in Kansas or Montana, and end up cancelling their tour. Does anyone remember Tiffany, the singer from the late 1980’s - maybe 1989, 1990? Like within a month she went from the cover of BOP! And Teen Beat and 16, every issue had to have a new tidbit or poster… to NO ONE would admit they ever heard of her.

New Kids of the Block? Yeah. Trump will be the NKOTB president. All those MAGA chubby dudes who have been doodling “Mr Donald Trump and Mr Chuck Trump” in a heart, out in their garage… drawing little hearts and flowers on their gun case, with the letters of his name in the centre of each one…

They will hide or burn or trash it all, and pretend their family and friends are crazy when they bring it up.

So save those hideous red hats and shirts and trump statues and bobble heads and diapers, Trump flags, Trump mugs, Trump glasses. He probably sells a 36 piece set of Trump MAGA dishes- including serving bowls, gravy boat and a cream and sugar set! Yours today for only triple the retail price of any similar item!

Trump brand drills, hammers,

See trumps retail operation isn’t making him cash because he has no clue what his base actually buys .

They don’t buy a fancy watch. They don’t really READ Bibles or BUY them.

They would BUY a status symbol like a fancy Lazy Boy, in leather with “MAGA king of the castle” embroidered on it.

They would buy Trump tools- Trump screw drivers, hammers, socket sets…

Too bad they are all reaching that “set fire to it” phase.

We could have made bank on bootleg TRUMP MAGA tools and lunch boxes, work boots… thermos bottles, coolers, fish hooks.
