Give it two weeks and we’ll see if Trump can wish this story away. I’m feeling JVL-ish today, I guess. I suspect this being the largest of Trump scandals means it goes away in 2 weeks rather than 48 hours.

3+ times a week, Trump does something that alone would sink any other presidency. Trump will distract us from Epstein—it’s just that this scandal is a little more fun for the unserious American people. But Trump does play by different rules. No rules, really. Ever since he came down the golden escalator, the #1 rule in American politics is: Trump always wins. Even when you think he’s lost, he wins.

Sure hope I’m gonna prove wrong. I need more caffeine.

If it doesn't go away, look for the redacted version from DOJ that like the altered video will be touted as only the "credible" information.

While I have always subscribed to the "What idiotic thing can I say or do today to distract the libs and make them forget about yesterday's nonsense while chasing today's shiny object" theory of the Felon's go-to-tactic, this is one we can not let go. We Shall Override should be our motto this time around.
