Upcoming Release Of ‘Damaging’ Jeffrey Epstein Report Leads Terrified Trump To Lash Out  

Speaking to supporters at a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday, failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump began attacking Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who ended his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination in January.

“I hit him hard, I hit him low, just like we did to ISIS…We hit this guy so hard,” the ex-president said. “He’s a shell of the man…We have to hit our enemies hard.”

Why continue to attack a defeated foe, especially one in a state the GOP desperately needs in November? DeSantis is no longer a political threat. Could there be an ulterior motive in what Trump said Saturday in Ohio?

Consider for a moment an action DeSantis took late last month, which was reported by Politico.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign legislation in Palm Beach this morning to release state grand jury records of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender and financier who killed himself in jail.

Liberal news outlet MeidasTouch Network noted on Twitter that Trump’s latest anger at DeSantis is likely tied to the upcoming release of those state grand jury records, writing:

“Trump began attacking DeSantis again right after DeSantis signed legislation to allow the release of grand jury documents in the Epstein case.”

Peter Henlein, an Iraq War vet, concurred.

“If you had any doubt that the release of the Florida Epstein grand jury files is going to destroy Trump, remove that doubt. Trump and his political operation are suddenly spending an equal amount of effort attacking DeSantis as they are Biden…..which makes no sense. They aren’t attacking Haley at all, who refused to endorse Trump and stayed in the race much longer than DeSantis, but they are passionately attacking DeSantis, who dropped out after Iowa and endorsed Trump……which makes no sense. The ONLY possible explanation is that Trump knows the release of Florida Epstein grand jury, which DeSantis paved the way for, is going to be extremely damaging to Trump. Trump is angry that this has happened, and he needs to discredit everything about DeSantis to try and blunt the impact of those files.”

With the steady drip of news stories each day highlighting Trump’s alleged criminal actions in any number of ongoing cases, being directly tied to Epstein and his disgusting crimes could prove devastating for the disgraced ex-president. Granted, his fanatical supporters won’t care, but it would give independents and non-MAGA Republicans yet another reason to not cast a ballot for Donald in November. And that’s how you lose in a landslide.

GOP Impeachment Joe Biden

‘Demoralized’ House Republicans Trying To Recover After Their Biden Impeachment Debacle

Six months ago, House Republicans announced they were starting an impeachment inquiry into alleged “high crimes and misdemeanors” committed by President Joe Biden which they claimed would result in his removal from office.

Now, however, it appears Republicans have nothing to show for their efforts except a hell of a lot of egg on their faces, with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) making it clear this week that he has no interest in bringing the matter to the floor of the House for an impeachment vote that would fail in humiliating fashion.

According to McKay Coppins of the Atlantic, the mood of GOPers in Congress has grown exceedingly dark.

Coppins was a guest on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” earlier today, and he explained,  “I think the White House smelled blood in the water, right? They saw Republicans were losing their will to continue with this.”

“I mean, you talk to Republicans on the Hill and they know that this is over, right?” he continued. “A lot of them knew it was a farce from the beginning but they were going along and saying what we can we dredge up? It was a fishing expedition on how to hurt President Biden during an election year but their star witness has fallen apart.”

Coppins added, “The impeachment has fallen apart in pretty embarrassing fashion. That’s why you see people like Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) just kind of completely demoralized. By all accounts, the [GOP] House conference was especially demoralized and embarrassed. You see Republicans wanting to retire and leave. I think the White House saw that.”

Just like everything they do in lieu of actually governing, today’s Republican Party is nothing but a vehicle for petty grievances, political payback, and childish whining. In other words, they’re just like the clown they’ve allowed to hijack their party and are preparing to nominate as their presidential candidate for the third time.

Congress Elections GOP Voting Rights WTF?!

GOP Congressman Pilloried For The ‘Worst Analogy In History’ On Voting Rights

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) proved his complete lack of understanding on the issue of voting rights in the United States during an appearance on the Fox Business show “Mornings With Maria,” suggesting that since you have to show an ID to rent a car, you should have to do the same when you cast a ballot.

Responding to comments made recently by Attorney General Merrick Garland, who vowed to fight attempts by “states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome and unnecessary” voting restrictions such as voter ID, Reschenthaler told host Maria Bartiromo, “It’s quite remarkable. You can’t rent a car in this country without showing an ID.”

“There’s office buildings in Washington, D.C., you can’t get into unless you show an ID. But then, to vote, you don’t need an ID?”

Talk about apples and oranges! The congressman seems to think that renting a car is analogous to casting a ballot, even though the right to vote is clearly enshrined in the Constitution. Virtually NO ONE has a right to rent a car if someone decides not to rent them one.

As for showing ID to get into a building, those laws were enacted for public safety, because government buildings make ideal targets for would-be terrorists, i.e. the truck bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building by domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh in April of 1995. McVeigh was later executed by lethal injection for that horrific crime.

Online clapback to Reschenthaler’s comments was immediate and righteously harsh.

Democrat Who Sat Next To MT Greene At SOTU Exposes Her For Unhinged ‘Muttering’ During Speech

Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) arrived at Thursday’s State of the Union address later than she expected, and about the only place left to sit was right next to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who she says muttered and complained during the entire speech.

Moore revealed the bizarre things Greene said as President Joe Biden was speaking during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” noting that no one else was willing to sit next to the Georgia Republican, and she soon found out why.

“I was trying to draw — bring out some empathy and to see if she had any, you know, and to recognize that, you know, instead of spending all of our time, you know, being surprised and shocked at Donald Trump having these supporters to try to listen to them.”

“For example, this is a really good example,” she explained. “When he [Biden] talked about Bettie May Fikes, who I have met on the march to Selma to the Edmund Pettus Bridge, when he talked about her being there and voting rights and John Lewis. She said, ‘1965?’ She was really truly surprised, I think. ‘Nobody is having their —being prevented from voting.’ Now, that was 1965. ‘I said ‘no girl, they tried to take my vote from me,’ because I voted and used a drop box in the last election.”

Greene got even more agitated, Moore said, when the president mentioned Covid.

“She was muttering about how we shuttered businesses and so forth during Covid. I said, ‘Girl, well, Covid was a real thing. My eldest son almost died from Covid and was in the hospital on a ventilator for a week.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a blight on the U.S. Congress and this country. She needs to be expelled from the House for her outrageous actions and utterances. And she also needs to explain to the American people why she reportedly begged failed former president Donald Trump for a pardon shortly before he left office.

Capitol Insurrection Congress GOP January 6 Uncategorized

WATCH A Democrat Shred Jim Jordan For Defending Jan. 6 Rioters: ‘They’re Criminals!’

Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) verbally excoriated Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and his Republican colleagues at a House hearing today as they attempted to downplay the horrific January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

During a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, Plaskett responded to opening remarks from Jordan.

“At the end of the day, the purpose of this hearing is to minimize what happened on January 6th and the lawful prosecution of individuals who were engaged in that practice,” she said. “The chairman wants us to believe that people are being persecuted for their political conduct rather than their criminal behavior.”

“So basically, he’s trying to tell us that everyone who’s been indicted and prosecuted for January 6th did not engage in criminal conduct,” she continued. “That’s the logic of what he’s saying, and we’ve just come so low in this House.”

However, Plaskett was just getting warmed up, noting that many in the GOP don’t view Jan. 6 defendants as criminals, although they have been charged and sentenced as such.

“When it’s people who fit your political agenda, they’re not criminals anymore They’re patriots. They’re victims.”

“They’re not! They’re criminals! And a jury of their peers found that when so many of them have been prosecuted in our court of law, not by brown shirts, not by Nancy Pelosi, not by Biden’s Justice Department, by a jury of their peers.”

Plaskett concluded her remarks by suggesting that the hearing was little more than a sop to failed one-term former president Donald Trump, who has also been charged for his role in Jan. 6.

“Unfortunately, many of my colleagues on the other side know the truth, but they’re still seeking shelter from Donald Trump’s hordes. They’re still seeking shelter from the truth.”

“They want to protect not just themselves, but their political careers, their jobs. They’re hiding behind lies for that.”

January 6 will be an issue in the November election, and it damn well should be. The man who urged his supporters to march on the Capitol because he lost in 2020 will once again be on the ballot. Here’s hoping he’s rejected the same way he was four years ago and eventually put behind bars for what remains of his pathetic life.
