    The word patriot has lost all meaning. It is a word used to excuse the scum of this country from the most heinous of acts. This moron somehow spun Epstein into a patriot as if he was doing some grand operation to get “dirt on US adversaries” . “Who else gets this prison deal?” Every fucking criminal billionaire including Trump! They all deserve the chair along with anyone that believes their bullshit.

    Reposting a comment I made on a similar post about the 180 mental gymnastics MAGA are displaying.

    What you’re witnessing here is described in When Prophecy Fails, a study on cults and how they justify continued belief after experiencing events that should disprove their belief.

    Cult members will simply invent new reasons to continue their belief and remove the cognitive dissonance they may feel, which oddly results in a further entrenched belief, instead of a weakened one.

      QAnon was a public exhibition of how this happens with MAGAts. I doubt it does but none of this should surprise anyone

        From the beginning too. remember the deep state bullshit?

        They really believe AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and the like are the deep state not the born rich New York scum bag who literally befriends everyone powerful

    Why are Democrats not going on the news and taking every opportunity to call the Republicans pedo protectors?

    Epstein was CIA under deep cover. He was infiltrating the pedophile ring and he got too close. What a patriot.

    Classic propaganda tactic. Speculating about alternative answers after you already know the answer or when everyone knows where the answer is.

    He speculates why did all these rich and powerful people not abandon him? Because he was secretly a good guy? No, you liar, it’s because they were his clients so he could blackmail them if he wanted to.

    He speculates why did he get favorable terms from previous trials? Because he was secretly a good guy? No, you propagandist liar, it’s because he was ultra wealthy and well connected.

    If he was secretly a good guy, he wouldn’t have offed himself in prison, so there’d be a giant investigation over that.

        I’m not saying whether he did or not. I’m saying that if he was a good guy, he definitely wouldn’t, and all of his “chivalrous” friends would be dying to get to the bottom of it.

      There is no list… After the Trump administration removed all of his rich peers from the list, no names were left…so no list.

    the amount of mental gymnastics here.

    there’s a huge gap being skipped from being skipped.

    epstein would be complicit and still part of the gang if he’s doing what he was told.
