    Very good, Vic.

    Conspiracy theory morons like NYC, Tina and Bunu will always believe there are more “books to be opened” because they already “know” what happened, and will never be satisfied until the smoking gun (real or imaginary) is uncovered that validates their “theory”.

    These “files” have been around for years. If there were any real bombshells in them they would have been leaked long ago. As Buck Sexton says, the government is a terrible keeper of secrets.

    There is no “secret ledger”. Epstein was a sick pervert and pedophile who is now dead.

    Time to move on.

    Trump and Bongino and Patel and Bondi have to realize no amount of “releases” will ever satisfy the NYCs, Tinas, and Bunus.

    The reason Dershowitz wants everything released is personal. He was accused by one of the women (now dead) and he thinks releasing the files will vindicate him.

    Fine, but the witness had already recanted. This is not about Dershowitz.

    And Esptein got a sweetheart deal in FL years before anyone knew the true extent of his crimes? Happens all the time, especially when you can afford top lawyers like he could.

    Oh, and finally this gem:

    “Those who don’t think it is important – covering up child trafficking isn’t a big deal for you?”

    It was uncovered. The victims were interviewed.. Epstein was arrested and charged.

    In regard to increased tariffs on a particular good – if other inputs for the price of that good goes down (energy cost, transport costs, corporate tax rates, etc etc) allowing the price of a good to stay the same, which then allows our nation to collect tariff revenue while the consumer doesn’t pay more for the purchased good, is that GOOD or BAD?”

    Oh, and let me address this convoluted garbage.

    The answer is BAD.

    The purpose of international commerce is not to “collect tariff revenue”. Tariffs inhibit and reduce international commerce (the protectionists know this, that is why they want them) which is BAD.

    Reductions in components of international trade such as energy, transportation and taxes should be reason to INCREASE the flow of goods, not reduce them.

    But thanks for serving up that soft fat pitch over the plate.

    This is from NYC, a man for whom principles are something to be conveniently discarded and sold out at the nearest opportunity. If we know something about NYC over the last 15 years is that he has the most “flexible” principles of anyone at HHR.

    But remember, the Internet is forever. This guy that is outraged by “child trafficking” is the same guy who adamantly opposed statutory rape laws here and said Rs would lose elections if they tried to uphold them. He went as far as stating that statutory rape was a matter of “personal discretion”.

  17. Apparently the very best ways to voice your disapproval of the enforcement of constitutional laws is to

    –block highways and bridges thereby infringing on the constitutional rights of others to have free movement and imperil routes of ambulances, firetrucks etc. to transport sick people and put out fires.

    –take over and shut down colleges thereby infriinging on the rights of others to get education

    –looting stores thereby violating the property rights of owners and others who work at those places to have a job

    –damage and destroy police cars and other public property thereby violating the rights of taxpayers

    –taunt and assault police officers with bottle rockets and other fireworks thereby violating the police officers rights

    My suggestion of how to deal with violent protesters:

    –tazers

    –colored paint balls

    –water cannons to clear the streets

    –seize the funds of any and all organizations who in any way have provided funds to the rioters.

    Epstein named his jet the “lolita Express” and put this label on the side of the plane where everyone could see it out in the open.

    Let me remind you all the plot of the famous Lolita novel by Vladimir Nobokov

    Lolita is a 1955 novel written by Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov. The protagonist and narrator is a French literature professor who moves to New England and writes under the pseudonym Humbert Humbert. He details his obsession and victimization of a 12-year-old girl, Dolores Haze, whom he describes as a “nymphet“. Humbert kidnaps and sexually abuses Dolores after becoming her stepfather. Privately, he calls her “Lolita”, the Spanish diminutive for Dolores. The novel was written in English, but fear of censorship in the U.S. (where Nabokov lived) and Britain led to it being first published in Paris, France, in 1955 by Olympia Press.”

    Yeah, Tina. talks a lot about “binders”.

    But actually Bondi never said anything about the contents of any binders or files.

    She said they were on her desk for review.

    What Tina doesn’t like is the RESULTS of the review, because they don’t fit her stupid conspiracy idiocies. There is no, and there was never, a “client list” and there is no evidence Epstein was ‘blackmailing” anybody. It there was, it would have been leaked long ago.

    I could have told you (actually, I did tellyou) that the conspiracy morons would be disappointed with the JFK files, the RFK files, the MLK files, the Epstein files.

    But when you are a conspiracy theorist moron, NO amount of information will ever satisfy you, because what you want is to corroborate your theories, and you can’t deal with anything that goes contrary to that.

    It wouldn’t be such a big deal if Trump did not give credence to releasing Epstein evidence during interviews and rallies during the election.

    And I realize “Gaslighting” is an over used phrase.

    But Trumps TS Epstein post was off the charts gaslighting if you are a loyal MAGA …expose the deep state corruption in DC MAGA cult member…who believed every word he said about transparency.

  102. Clinton isn’t running for office anymore. Bill Gates is winding down all his foundations and getting out of the philanthropy biz. Etc etc etc. Not one IOTA of information connecting them to Epstein is going to make a difference in the midterms or in 2028. Zero. NAda. No one who didn’t vote for Trump is going to miraculously vote for the R ticket in the mid terms or 2028 because of anything to do with Epstein.

    Let it go. BTW, you (plural, not talking to anyone in particular) do not have the right to know every detail about every matter. Epstein committed the crimes, was arrested and is dead. Done. Nothing good will come of dwelling on this.

    Jeeeeezz. There are much GREATER things to be worried about in the country right now than Epstein. I mean, seriously.

    None better than watching my son at the Youth World Cup of Soccer in Barcelona in April. They beat Australia, Turkey, Japan, UAE and Canada, and only lost to France (who had a kid 6′ tall. I am not joking. WTF!!! at U10) and Argentina (who had a player sent off for taking off his shirt after a goal…..this is what we are teaching our kids btw.)

  111. DW – Mets are .5 games up because the Phillies stopped hitting. Their starting rotation is great but they lost 2 games 1-0 in Houston. They don’t play well on the West Coast where they are spending the final week before the All Star break. I still say the NL East may not be decided until the final day of the season.

  112. Bitter – I think I agree with you. It’s definitely going to go down to the last week of the season…where the Mets generally blow the division. I think both make the playoffs. I think both can beat the Dodgers. I think whomever wins the NL will crush the American league in the WS

Even the loser Philly pitchers Swarez and Chumpez deserve to be there over someone with five starts…who btw got roasted by the Mets.

    Jeffery Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein told the press:

    “Jeff & Trump were friends.

    Jeff told me he had so much dirt on Trump and Clinton that, if revealed, the 2016 election would have been cancelled.”

  116. Backing that up, other than the amazing deGrom, who had a 0.69 ERA through 14 starts in 2021, Senga finished the first half of the season with a 1.39 ERA, the lowest mark for any pitcher with at least 15 starts since Bob Gibson (1.06), Luis Tiant (1.24) and Don Drysdale (1.37) all entered the All-Star break in 1968, per ESPN Stats & Info.

    So the second best ERA to another Met in 57 years, and no all star bid. ummmmmm WTF

  125. I will never forget 2007 (and 2008) when we blew leads in each year. I remember watching a game against Washington, and Delgado hit one to right field which everyone thought was gone, which would have clinched a tie of the division with seven games left, and then the ball died and was caught at the wall. I knew it was over at that moment…we were cursed.

    That entire team, which could have won two or three WS, died with three Wainright curve balls that froze Beltran. Most people forget that right before that, Reyes hit one to the wall that was caught. Would have been a grand slam and the World Series.

  126. The Phillies should have won at least 2 WS titles between 2008 and 2011. Won it in 2008. Went back in 2009 and lost to the Yankees. In 2011, they won 102 games. The 102nd win was meaningless but eliminated the Braves and let the Cardinals in the playoffs. They lost the NLDS to the Cardinals. Cardinals won series 3-2. Ray Halladay (HOF) gave up 1 run. Ryan Howard tore Achilles tendon hitting a ball. Phillies lost 1-0.
