Don’t you just love it when you watch horror flicks when the wrongdoer is either lying on the ground or sitting in a chair or lying in bed that, to his abject horror, he sees a disconnected hand grabbing him and trying to pull him to his grave.
After all, it is only poetic justice that the wrongdoer gets his just desserts at the hand of the person who did or may have had a part in his demise.
If you ever watched the eye movements of the late great movie actor, Vincent Price, he was the master of creating horrified facial expressions when he was caught in his acts of bedevilment.
Vincent Price could roll those eyes and curl his mouth so that you knew that he was about to meet his doom and nothing could save him.
In my humble opinion, we are about to witness Donald Trump transform before our very eyes into a reincarnation of Vincent Price, complete with rolling eyes and pursed lips because, the “gig is up!” regarding the stalking hand epitomized by the Epstein Files.
Jeffrey Epstein is crying out from his grave that Donald Trump should be implicated in both the Epstein Files and possibly his premature death at the hands of “persons unknown” although it is being termed a suicide…more on that later.
Oddly enough, it was Trump who only months earlier called for full transparency of the files until…he was notified by the DOJ head, Pam Bondi, that his name appeared in the files.
In a twinkling of an eye, Trump went from, “Release all of the files, to it’s a hoax perpetuated by the Democrats!”
If that was not enough, he then slammed the hundreds of victims of Epstein and Maxwell as being in on the hoax! Imagine if you would, hundreds of women conspiring in unity for months and years to bring their charges of being victims in a pedophile ring.
Whenever Dear Leader gets caught with his MAGA shorts down, he utters the same old tried and true canards of “It’s a hoax,” or a “Conspiracy by the left wing Democrats!”
Trump knows that his low I.Q. base of loyal voters will, like a bunch of baying coon dogs,
catch his scent (or his drift) and follow his red herrings.
Works every time…or does it now?
It appears that Trump and company tried to put the thumb screws to Laurie Boebert ( House Rep. out of Colorado) to remove herself from the House vote that would send the Epstein vote to the GOP Senate. The pressure tactic did not work, so Trump is starting to sweat MAGA
size droplets of angst at the thought that this Epstein File issue is far from over.
Even Speaker Mike Johnson cannot stop the bill from getting out of the House and
causing more deserved pain for his Dear Leader.
With the House being called back into session, the GOP have had a pleasant five weeks vacation (fully paid of course) and now they face intense media scrutiny about what their take is on the Epstein Files bill being passed.
As more evidence slowly dribbles out or is leaked out about the antics of Trump and his then best bud, Jeffrey, cavorting with minors; with the procurer Ghislaine Maxwell sitting
comfortably in a country club federal prison in Texas, it is only a matter of time before
damning evidence is revealed about the true proclivities of Dear Leader.
Trump has ransacked the cupboard of public confidence one time too many on this highly volatile issue of pedophilia possibly touching both him and the uber powerful and rich.
It is disconcerting that any member of Congress would vote to prevent such information being made public or from being investigated, lest they be accused of protecting and harboring alleged pedophiles.
From the vigorous fight that Trump and his lackey cohorts are raging against this impending firestorm, one has to think what all their fuss is about if Trump is innocent as he
proclaims?
Simple. If it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump and others intentionally covered up this rotted and fetid smell of pedophilia in high places, heads will roll…and roll…and roll! And rightfully so!
The silently moving death hand of Epstein vis a vis his files, is reaching out to lay a claim of
vengeance on those who have attempted to cut their losses and have him take full blame
for unlawful sexual acts with the minors (now adults) who are still clamoring for a smidgen of justice.
As an aside, I do not believe that the full and unadorned story of Epstein’s suicide(?) has been fully vented especially so when other inmates who were at one time in that same
prison jail cell said that committing suicide in that cell would be impossible.
I further contend that once the full story of the Epstein Files is fully vented, America
will be shocked and numbed by the names of the participants and the amount of money that was transferred, to and from, by complicit banks.
No, my friend…Trump is not draining the swamp as he promised because he is now the personification of the swamp: corruption, excess, fear mongering, disdain of the rules of law and a cult of personality wherein those around him are fawning sycophants, doing the master’s bidding without question.
Any GOP member of Congress should be earmarked for being primaried by a Democrat opponent if he or she votes not to release the files!
If we want to continue to boast that we are a nation of laws and not of men, time will either tear that motto to shreds or it will redeem itself by pursuing all leads, both near and far, in coming to factual conclusions as what really happened to whom and by whom. No exceptions and no exemptions.
