There is a simple reason President Donald Trump should not have been impeached by the House, and the Senate should acquit him: Epstein didn’t kill himself.
In writing this, I don’t mean I am convinced that the billionaire child sex-abuser was murdered by one of his many wealthy and powerful acquaintances to keep him quiet — although I wouldn’t rule that out. Rather, I mean it in the sense in which “Epstein didn’t kill himself” has become a pervasive cultural meme, as a general assertion of cynicism regarding the incompetence and moral degeneracy of our elites, which has produced a crisis of credibility for our leaders and institutions.

On the Five, Gutfeld suggested he was strangled with a belt from PIAPS' bathrobe. That sounds as plausible as any other explanation. Vets for Trump 2020

It's too early to attempt to make any sense of this logic. I'll try again after coffee.

The more of the article I read, the more it perturbed me. The author falls back on any Trump flaw he can pick at calling him an oaf which really got under my skin. If we are trying to balance the scales of Presidential decorum, let’s put a Kennedy, Clinton, and Obama up there and see how they fare against this President. We all have flaws but what the left cannot abide is that Donald J. Trump is proving to be a more effective CIC than any other modern President. He is also not shy about calling out corruption by the media and political class. His detractors cannot abide the truth. What Americans have known for decades is being revealed right before our eyes. Our government is corrupt. Our justice system could be fatally flawed a fact that will be determined in the near future. Our political class is rancidly arrogant. Our media is the enemy of truth. President Trump is exactly the guy we need to take this mess on. Whether he is politically spit shined with a flowery turn of phrase is inconsequential. What sets him apart is the fact that the American people trust him and you can’t manufacture that or buy it. In this putrid political climate, he is a breath of fresh air. Truth is like that for most of us who value integrity. Maybe he would not have been a good fit in years past, but right here and right now, he is exactly the man for the job. Now more than ever, Trump 2020.

Sigh....it’s obvious I don’t live in the same rarified heights as this character. I find President Trumps go-for-the-jugular style of attack wonderfully refreshing. He doesn’t have the time or the temperament to suffer those corrupt Weasley fools that infest Washington DC. He’s for sure not going to roll over and show his belly to every snot-nosed wanna-be Marxist pretender we have in government or media who thinks it’s his turn to sink the knife this week, unlike Bush, who, I don’t know, thought he was above the fray or something?
I for one was praying for a junkyard dog who would rip out throats, and by gosh, we got one!
It’s been so much fun watching President Trump take them down and leave their nasty carcasses for buzzard feed.
And he isn’t through yet.

Here we go again. Why must every article about President Trump contain a slap in his face? Blake refers to President Trump as "being an obnoxious oaf." I don't find him an oaf, and certainly not an obnoxious one. Nor do I find him "cruder and less refined in his communications."

Along the lines of #’s 1 and 2, I prefer “Make Them Cry Again 2020!“

#6, Spiro Agnew had it right when he called the media those "nattering nabobs of negativity". Blake is a member of that organization. And making them cry again is what we are going to do. It makes me so happy to see those videos of the coven members wailing and gnashing of teeth when the election results came in. Can't get enough of them.

The inner core of elites has been exposed, the circles in which the Clinton's run, the royals, the upper most upper crust. They are corrupt vile people willing to participate in child sex trafficking, pedophilia, all forms of perversion, or protect those who do, because they are in the same circle and their membership in the cult matters above all. Epstein and let's not forget Weinstein, members in good standing. Did you ever see the sick murals in Brussels? I suspect the movie Hostel is a documentary.
Trump, at best or worst depending your perspective, was at least one concentric circle away from that core and has moved well out over the last four years.
Yet I'm irredeemable and deplorable. It's for my maker, the creator to decide on my redemption, how dare lady Lucifer assume that throne.
We humans are flawed creatures; original sin is very real. Nothing illuminates the need for God in our lives and his salvation as much as the behavior of those for whom the likelihood of consequences of any sort, for anything are infinitesimal.

If there is one thing President Trump understands, after his many years of negotiating, is that you can't negotiate with irrational people. It can be attempted, but when it becomes obvious that it can't succeed, no more time should be wasted. There comes a time when you just have to stop negotiating and let them be wrong. If you can't work with them, you have to work around them. Just make sure you're right. President Trump has been right so far.

Donald J. Trump may have his peccadilloes, but they're out in the public, amid the watchful eyes of the media. What the Clintons, Obamas, Bidens, Kennedys, and assorted others do is sneaky and disgusting. The left practices at hiding their true colors, which makes them very untrustworthy.
To put this in perspective, let's say you bought a used car from these people, what would happen? With Donald Trump a day after the car arrived on your driveway you'd feel you paid too much, because you did. Buying from a Clinton you'd find out the car was actually stolen, and they've gone out of business the next day. Barack Obama would sell you a car with an odometer that's been rolled back, sawdust in the oil to quiet the knocking, and all the emissions stuff disabled, so you can't pass inspection next month. Biden would sell you his neighbors car, but he's keeping your deposit. Kennedy would sell you a car used in the commission of a crime, and needed as evidence in 3 States.

According to a quick internet search, "oaf" means "a stupid, uncultured, and clumsy person." Call Mr. Trump what you will, but none of the adjectives in that definition apply to him.
"Stupid" people do not build an international real estate empire that spans the globe.
"Uncultured" is in the eye of the beholder. What culture is the man lacking? DC culture? Elitist culture? We could do with more politicians who are uncultured in those respects. But again . . . I say . . . "uncultured" people do not build international businesses worth billions. You have to have some sort of "culture" to do that -- even if it isn't the culture approved of by the Hollywood or DC elitists.
But what about "clumsy"? Let's look at recent past presidents and would-be presidents. President George H. W. Bush threw up at the head table of a state dinner. Bill Clinton was so clumsy with is aim that he spewed all over Monica's blue dress. Hillary Clinton kept falling over, tripping on the curbs of New York City. George W. Bush was known for his malapropism. (He was always reviewing plans to fight terror, trying to get the right "strategery" while others worked on strategy.) Obama could not carry on a conversation without a teleprompter -- not without putting crowds to sleep with his "ums." And Al Gore couldn't get a massage therapist to give him a "happy ending" in a hotel room. By Bill Clinton's standards, Al was hella clumsy. So . . . "clumsy" and "Mr. Trump" don't belong together . . . unless "clumsy" belongs with a whole long list of names of pols.

Blake, you ruined your piece with the snarky references to the President. Too bad for you. Getting real tired of this "well if it wasn't for Trump's flaws". Give it a rest, pal.

How do you know that someone considers themself a member of the "Media Elites"? Their every argument falls back on Moral Relativism.

The article tries to create a "moral" equivalence and says Trump is no worse than the rest of then.
No, I would say that, except for some obvious slips, Trump is far better than most of them. None of us are perfect. Trump is blunt and in-your-face at times. Considering the mess he is facing, that is not a failing. It's a job requirement. Trump privately said something crude about women. Yes. Ouch. But his public posture and policy has been nothing but respectful. We know it's there inside him but he know too and knows it's not a good thing. Trump is a risk taker. Yes, and that scares the heck out of the majority of people who leave their money in dismal interest CDs or savings account because they are scared they will lose it. But taking risks is also the only true way to get ahead, for yourself and as a nation. Bold people found companies and create new products and jobs and wealth for MANY people. Bold people face down countries and get better trade deals. Bold people ACT (instead of talk) and move our embassy to Jerusalem. Bold people eliminate terrorists. Bold people get massive tax cuts passed and turbo charge the economy. Trump also stays within ethical, moral, and legal limits. How do we know? Because NOTHING they have gone after him for has ANY evidence to support it. Over 4 years of attacks and they have NOTHING tangible.
And THAT is why impeachment is a sham, because Trump has done NOTHING impeachable and the dems KNEW it going in. Their vote was predetermined and completely partisan. They voted as a hateful mob, disparaging themselves in the process.

A vacation home payoff won't suffice for Bernie this time, but he's got a bad ticker, you know, and the PIAPS knows how to use it!
