Here’s how it should have gone:

  • People start to believe the Qanon BS, and likely was spread as a primer to shift the blame away from the “right wing” figures in the network.
  • Epstein’s compromat on Bill Clinton leaks mysteriously.
  • Clinton gets jailed, then he either would have been forced to admit not only his actual crimes, but everything Epstein did, or gets mysteriously suicided in his cell.
  • Epstein leaves the “left”, becomes a hard right conservative.

What likely happened is that the friendship between Trump and Epstein have broken down at one point, and then…

    That’s a massive miscalculation though. This strategy is based in red team/blue team thinking and would only work on red who protect their own no matter what. The majority of blue team would happily send Bill on his naked shame walk from the palace to the citadel. That’s because they want all people in the files guilty of crimes brought in front of a jury.

    I think Monica Lewinsky in a blue dress should get to walk alongside Bill with the bell and yell shame right into his ear until she got hoarse.

      you heard thatjoke right? drumpf at the flaming gates. Devil says were pretty full but we can find you a temporary spot for a couple of centuries. You’ll have to free someone else to get a spot. We’ll let you choose which of three rooms. Door 1 opens and Obama is shoveling gravel into a wheelbarrow and dumping it at the top of a hill only to roll downhill again. Classic Sisyphus. Drumpf says “too much like work”. Door 2 is Biden filling a pool with a hole by buckets. Pool never fills. Drumpf says “too much like work. I couldn’t do that for centuries - my bone spurs”. Door 3 has Clinton lying on a bed. Monica L is doing her thing. Drumpf says “this is more like it. She’s underage too so its even better. I’ll take this one”. Devil says great and turns to Monica “ you’re free to go Monica.

      Why would Monica shame Bill? I mean, I guess you could make the claim that Monica isn’t in the Epstein files, and as far as I know that’s true. But it still doesn’t explain why Monica? Almost everyone on the planet meets the criteria of “Not in the Epstein files”. As far as I know Hillary isn’t in them either. Or you could get Jack Black to do the shaming. Or you could get whoever Frances world leader is. Lots of people not in that list.

      So, why Monica?

        Do you know the TV series Game of Thrones? The nun lady walking by the naked queen in there in one of its most famous scenes is yelling “shame” and ringing her bell to underscore the shame of the naked queen on her walk from the palace. As if being walked down naked wasn’t indicative enough of that.
