    1. You’re a buffoon! The Epstein files ARE bad…for Dummycrats! One thing is for sure: There’s no evidence Trump was ever on the Democrat-travelled and favored, “Pedo” Island or that he raped little girls. That’s not true for your boy Clinton…or are you finally disowning this serial abuser of girls?
      Apparently, the Epstein files are sooooo bad that your corrupt moronic senile Biden didn’t give a damn about releasing them!

  1. John S

    Trump is all over the Epstein files. Plus Jack Smith testified under oath that he had enough evidence to convict your life-long criminal Trump in both the 1/6 and classified docs case.

    If Clinton is guilty then throw him in jail. Dems don’t support any pefos.

    Biden didn’t release the files because they were sealed under a judges order until 1/2025 because of appeals.

    1. Don’t bother. Trumpsters go deaf and blind any time a truth comes out about their self absorbed, greedy, convicted felon, pefo, idol.

    2. Jack Smith is in line for prosecutorial mis-conduct so stay tuned, buffoons! I guess sniffing the first ladies panties wasn’t sufficient legal predicate for his hack! As for watching is testimony on Fox News, you won’t see in on CNN either bc IT WAS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS!
      LET’S SEE IT ALL!

  2. Back to the news at hand. It will be interesting to see if this administration has any more luck of creating a stable government this time around, as recent history has proven otherwise. It will also be interesting to see how many of Trump’s oil friends jump on this “opportunity” and how fast. It is a big enticement to get what is left of their assessets back, but also a risk that history will not repeat itself and another dictator comes back into power and once again nationalizes the oil “for the people”.

    1. What invasion???? Doesn’t an invasion require an occupying force??? Don’t worry, your corrupt commies are still in place in Venezuela…you’ll just have to get your stache elsewhere!
