Whydunnit?

 I believe I have mentioned this before, but it would seem it bears repeating. 

The Epstein Files are no longer the core concern we should have regarding the convicted felon in the wreckage of what used to be known as "the People's House." The evidence that may or may not be found in the accounts and lists and documentation regarding one of the most notorious sex traffickers of all time is all just a part of the problem of having elected, as previously introduced, a convicted felon. 

The most recent release of pictures from the estate of Jeffery Epstein show such luminaries as the former Prince Andrew and former President Bill hobnobbing on the private island where so much ugliness took place. The current "president" can be seen in a number of photos as well, including one of his face on a package of souvenir condoms, available in the gift shop for the low low price of just four dollars and fifty cents. One can only estimate the value of such a prize what with inflation and all. 

If you catch my meaning. 

So my concern is that no matter how many timess we go to this well, impeach him twice, convict him for thirty-four felonies, catch him lying on a daily basis, we seem to live in a world that refuses to be through with him. Those die-hard supporters who obviously need him to continue to stuff their bank accounts are one thing, but the idjits who can no longer afford the red baseball caps they used to wear because of the tariffs imposed on them who cling to him as if they believed every salacious and/or ridiculous thing that slithered from the gaping maw beneath his nose. 

"I wasn't there." 

"I never knew him." 

"I stopped eight wars."

"My economy is the greatest the world has ever seen."

And yet, here we sit. Expectantly watching for the release of a bunch of information that has most certainly been scrubbed of all its worth and meaning. Waiting. For someone else to die in custody. For victims to be re-traumatized by the "alleged" stories of abuse. For the tanks to roll into our streets. 

In many ways, it's too late. Our standards have been systematically and ridiculously lowered to such an extent that the rest of the world has pretty much given up on us. "America? Oh, they used to be great." The longer this ugly facade is maintained, the longer it will take to build our country back to what it once was: A nation full of contradictions and disagreements. 

Time he was put out of our misery.
