Epstein conveniently committed suicide. Of course any number of Russians have had ‘accidents’. Feces occurs. A congressman in Tennessee has called for Maxwell to testify on the Epstein case, and she is purportedly willing to testify. It would be a shame if anything happened to her. ---

> [@WOOKINPANUBv.2](#): > > Did something new happen? Not really but according to legal scholars at Youtube, Trump announcing that the whole thing was a hoax means that Maxwell could appeal to get her conviction thrown out. After all, if that’s true she got thrown in jail for 20 years because every time someone hoaxes Trump, the dumbshit falls for it. Oops! There was also a recent deadline for DOJ to give an opinion to the Supreme Court as to whether or not they should review Maxwell’s case. After requesting a couple of extensions to think about it, they finally said no, SCOTUS should not review the case. Hmmm, I wonder why? ---

> [@DWMarch](#): > > Trump announcing that the whole thing was a hoax means that Maxwell could appeal to get her conviction thrown out. I’ve seen that meme, but it doesn’t pan out. The alleged “hoax” was her and Epstein providing kids for their client list of Elite Pedophiles to abuse. That could be entirely fake, but she could still be guilty of just finding kids for Epstein to abuse. ---

Saw this post from an anti-Trump troll on a RWNJ site: Donald Trump: We nabbed three illegals yesterday who were guilty of sexual assault! We’re keeping Americans safe from Mexican rapists! Also Donald Trump: Who cares about a white guy who raped as many as 1000 minors? Let it go, dude. ---

The utter irony is, if Felon-ONE were to declare, “ **I did those teenage girls, I did them bigly and longly** ,” his MAGAt base would be all “_Yeah! Awesome! He’s da Man!_” Unfortunately for him, he needs a broader, at least semi-rational base. Yet, if his MAGAt support starts to decay (as seems to happening), that will also erode his broader base. It is like some kind of, IDK, Catch-47. ---

> [@Yllaria](#): > > That’s the way I dance now because my knees and balance are going. If you combine that style of dancing with Irish dancing, you end up with normal dancing. (Irish clog dancing happens totally below the waist, with the upper half of the body stock straight with arms tight to the sides.)
