1. Just like the Reagan administration

He has dirt on all of the people under him. It's his leverage to make his minions do his bidding.

It's the same mechanism that gave us Dan Quale because he was caught up in Iran-Contra, too. Everyone thought Bob or Elizabeth Dole would be the VP under Bush the Greater.

2. Republicans are incapable of living amongst civilized society

and all of it's laws. That's why the billionaires want the Felon in office. He's the #1 law breaker and these guys all know he's their best chance of changing the America that exists into the America they want.

Capitalism has allowed them to come to our Country and corrupt our systems and make it possible for these child predators to flourish. The Republican party continues to facilitate the existence of these monsters.

Instead of freely and passionately demanding the release of the EPSTEIN files they continue to block their release because they know there is incriminating evidence implicating leaders and members of the Republican part.
Suffice it to say pedophile is synonymous with Republican.

7. I say make them wear the shame or leave the party.

WTF are they waiting for. They wanted this, they voted for it, either own it or leave it. But NO they get no quarter from us, no forgiveness. If they're not part of the solution then they're part of the problem. Oh, btw, that wouldn't exclude them from being called right-wing fascists as a descriptor.

3. So, is it that sexual predators can't seem to resist standing next to him?

Or, do people BECOME sexual predators after standing next to him, like he's some kind of super-speader (Typhoid Donnie)?

10. who was that preacher who was televised in church crying "Oh, Lord, I HAVE SINNED!"??

I think he was caught with another woman not his wife and he had to make a public apology and ask for forgiveness. He was bawling and red faced...ugly SOB iirc....
