So, apparently MAGA world is up in arms about the Epstein files.

After claiming she had the client list on her desk in Feb, Bondi now claims there is no client list.

And there’s more. They released the surveillance tapes from outside Epstein’s cell when he killed himself, to prove that nobody entered the cell. And the tape has a missing minute.

At today’s cabinet meeting Trump was irritated that people were asking questions about this.

So folks are starting to notice the Trump admin is looking like it has something to hide here.

I’m betting it’s either on Hunter Biden’s laptop or in Hilary’s emails. Maybe both!

After he smears that shit all over his face, does he wash it off every night? If not, does it stain the pillows? Does it require a substance to remove it? He must see the pictures of himself with bright white ears, temples and other spots of haphazard application. Did he have a professional do it when he was making his little reality show? Did he lose their number?

TL:DR: How can a semi-functioning adult go out in public like that?

Trump figures some blackface might make him more popular like Obama was.

…He’s doing it wrong though.

Especially since he is so obsessed with how everyone else looks, as in he picks his advisors by how good they look on TV. But I think he has the same issue that many anorexic people have where they don’t see reality when they look in the mirror. He looks in the mirror and sees someone beautiful, perfect. And _no one_ will ever tell him otherwise.
