What could be worse for Trump than the Epstein files? I dunno. Maybe using the United States military to murder innocent people in a foreign country under false pretenses?
Yeah. I think maybe killing innocent people qualifies as worse than being a pedophile. But who wants to balance those scales, especially when the one orchestrating the killing is the pedophile? To be clear, Trump has not yet been convicted in a court of law of either alleged crime, and yet the evidence keeps stacking up.
In the case of the Epstein files, which haven’t even been made public yet, we already know that Jeffrey Epstein was a billionaire pedophile who procured young girls to be his personal sex toys. We also know Epstein says he and Trump were best friends for years, and there is more than enough visual evidence suggesting they were billionaire buddy boys who hung out together quite a bit. It has also been reported that the two buds had a falling out when Trump discovered Epstein was recruiting young girls from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago playground, which apparently was a violation of some sort of billionaire buddy boy code of reprehensible conduct.
As for the murder of innocent civilians, I’ll let Heather Cox Richardson describe the scenario from her December 2, Letters from an American Substack post:
“The news of last Friday, November 28, that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told a Joint Special Operations commander overseeing an attack on a small vessel carrying 11 people on September 2 to “kill everybody” is shaping up to be a fight over control of the United States government.
“A missile strike shattered the boat and set it afire, but two men survived. A second strike fulfilled Hegseth’s order. According to Alex Horton and Ellen Nakashima of the Washington Post, the commander, Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley, said “the survivors were still legitimate targets because they could theoretically call other traffickers to retrieve them and their cargo.” In a report, the Joint Special Operations Command said the second strike was not to kill survivors, but to remove a navigation hazard.
“There had already been significant pushback in the first place over the strikes, which legal experts say are unlawful. But the so-called double tap is illegal and a war crime even under the Trump administration’s flimsy justification for the strikes.
“Lawmakers of both parties have pushed back on what Senator Angus King (I-ME) yesterday called “a stone cold war crime.” The Republican chairs of the House and Senate Armed Services committees, Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL) and Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS), have vowed to launch investigations of the incident, as well as of the larger operation.”
“The Trump administration says the military has killed at least 83 people in 21 known strikes in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean since early September. Trump has justified the attacks as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the United States and asserted the U.S. is engaged in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels.
Don’t look away. Facing it is the only way we defeat it.
