Why the Epstein Files might finally provide consequences Trump can’t dodge - LGBTQ Nation

While Trump is putting out all the distractions that he can right now, the threat of the Epstein “client list” continues to loom large. Surprisingly, the heart of that problem for Trump is connected to the anti-trans hate campaign that he has stoked among MAGA Republicans.
A group of Republicans who have previously been very loyal to Trump have built a large part of their platform around protecting children. While that’s an admirable political position to take, too often, rather than making moves that will lead to real support for children in dangerous situations, it has amounted to an excuse for bigotry and hate targeting the LGBTQ+ community.

Trump facing consequences for anything? I'll believe it when I see it
- I have seen this shit so many times the last 10 years.
  "this insert illigal shit will finally be the end of Trump!"
  It doesn't fucking happen. He is immune because every single politician is complicit and wants him to be immune. Because to them, it's far better than giving the people any sort of power.
  
  I think you're exactly right.
  A few years ago, we saw a huge amount of mobilization for George Floyd. People fighting cops and winning.
  After that, we saw a submarine full of billionaires implode & people cheered.
  Recently, a health insurance CEO was shot to death in the street, and people rallied around the shooter as a hero.
  Trump has been a uniquely effective vehicle for the ownership class to launch bullshit distractions at a population of Americans who are showing signs of class consciousness. Keep 40 or 50% of people mad at trans people and immigrants and DEI, and the rest busy trying to minimize the damage being done. Motherfucker said Haitian immigrants were eating cats and dogs in a presidential debate, and people somehow still take him seriously.
  But he's not long for this world. Dennis Prager has all the charisma of a bad case of trench foot. Rupert Murdoch is ancient, we're already down a Koch brother, everything Elon Musk touches turns to shit, and I'm crossing my fingers that all the HGH gives Peter Thiel a heart attack.
  The ownership class has got to make hay while the sun shines. Things are primed to turn around on them quickly.
  
  He'd rather issue an order making pedophilia legal than admit that he raped little girls. Which he did.
  
  I see a major difference in politicians. One party impeached him. The other party protects him.
  You haven’t seen that?
