It’s going to be the Epstein Files
One of the weirdest things I have noticed over my decades as a political junkie is the ‘thing’ that you think is going to be the ‘thing’, almost never is! It is usually something out of left field, seemingly on the margins, that turns out to be the definitive factor.
I thought Elon Musk was in some kind of drug-induced delirium when he texted that Mr. Trump was in the Epstein files, but he turned out to be correct. The cosmic irony that is unfolding before us is that despite all the cruel, ignorant, harmful, unlawful and unconstitutional things Mr. Trump has done, the thing that is going to bring him down is the Epstein files. I can’t imagine what they contain that makes him so deathly afraid, but it must be really, really bad.

The White House provided Reuters with a list of “liberal groups, donors or fundraising organizations that it said helped finance or plan protests where the violent incidents occurred”:
** George Soros’ Open Society Foundations*
** ActBlue*
** Indivisible*
** Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights*
** IfNotNow*
As a donor to a couple of those groups, does that make me liable for providing material support to terrorism?

Every Democratic candidate, at whatever level, should tie their opponents directly to Trump and deliver this message. “A vote for my opponent is a vote for Trump and the continuance of economic and social chaos.”

And what’s more, the committee’s reasons for choosing her sound like basically “because she’s pushed back against someone just like that orange guy.”
