Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

Until I see actions I take most stuff with a grain of salt, I take many things the media report as possibly fake, any wordplay about Barr-Epstein is just too comical to be serious! 
Most of the accusations and assertions are as valid as blaming a fat ar5e on racism.
I try to assess people based on past behaviour not rumors, what they did before tells me far more than anything they promise for the future, and also in the context of what is possible because most rumors about this or that action are fundamentally impossible to implement without bipartisan collusion. Not just in the USA but anywhere.
Media and followers rarely consider the long term risks and ramifications of the fixes and fudges that get rumored, they are too focused on the now!
When politicians and lawyers start colouring outside the lines, they are creating precedents that opponents get to make use of in the future. They know full and well in the long term they get investigated and judged by the very rules they make.
Trump and his crew might be ar5eholes but they are not idiots, they are not going to load a gun that gets pointed back at them in retirement! Someone has to pay though, and the long term price might be applied indiscriminately to Trump's opponents and followers, who are mostly the little people.
