Read an interesting editorial off of Drudge today, and does a good job setting the context for Trump and MAGA.
It's a short read. Nothing terrible groundbreaking or new, so if you don't read it you're not missing anything that the rest of this post won't convey. But, it does encapsulate the existential crisis within MAGA, and prognosticates (maybe indirectly) how it will end.
https://www.thewrap.com/epstein-emails-conspiracy/
The gist is this. There already was a mountain of evidence around Trump and his relationship with Epstein that would, and should, doom his presidency legally, and certainly doom him as a credible moral figure around a MAGA audience that staked so much of their belief system on the idea that a cabal of elites is beyond the reach of the law. The trove of emails released recently confirm this. The Epstein files, if/when they are released and if/when they aren't scrubbed will remove all doubt.
Except...
If you're of the mindset similar to the elites, which is that all manner of sins are contextualized and explained away to maintain the cohesiveness of the cabal.
And, this is exactly what MAGA is doing, and will do.
They're looking for a tree among the forest. In this case, a literal "crime" against the backdrop of a relationship and broader context that in any other circumstance would be the Rubicon. That broader context being Trump is a wealthy, amoral elite from New York with proven, undeniable ties to the very cabal MAGA specifically [as in Epstein] drew a line in the sand over.
BUT...
The relationship and broader context (forest) simply don't matter if they never see a crime (tree). Because the broader context and relationship with Epstein can all be rationalized away as "Democrats stirring up something," or in the case of Kiwi "photoshop." Manac (sorry brother got to pick on you here) would be washing his hands of anybody or anything else given similar evidence. But he's sticking by Trump to maintain the cohesiveness of the MAGA cabal because the greater good (and personal benefit) of MAGA rule far outweighs a political reality without Trump, and they can assuage their conscience by the idea that Trump hasn't been accused of any specific sex crime (and likely never will).
This is all within the same way that Epstein and his cabal were allowed to operate in the shadows before, during, and after Epstein's convictions.
It's a point lost completely on MAGA though, especially in here. This is peak MAGA hypocrisy; a hyperbolic example come to life. MAGA can deflect any way they want -- Biden didn't do anything; where is the evidence Trump is guilty of a crime; the documents are doctored; etc. But they ignore that by their very own standards, they should be calling for Trump's resignation because if it were anybody else, they would be. So none of the hand waving and deflections really matter without a tree, because they have their eyes closed as they're driving through the forest. They know it. They just don't care.
Gotta protect the cabal. For the greater good.

For the MAGA crowd you're welcome to post a retort but I'm most likely just going to make fun of you and not post a true reply.

Spot on.
So what if he was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein and knew he was “stealing” young girls to molest and is actively covering up the files, show us the proof that he actually raped a minor!
It just completely misses the point, I mean just think about that for a second, we’re talking about the President of the United States here. Are there truly no standards anymore? To the MAGA folks credit, the Dems have rolled out Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton in the last 10 years, not exactly paragons of virtue, but I mean… come on.

Nope. And that's populism in a nutshell. It's not what is principled, and it's about what gets you closest to your goals. Works politically and morally.

that any of these emails would provide definitive proof that Trump knew crimes were being committed.
I heard this string of logic on the radio this morning and it makes sense.
The Democrats had access to these files during the Biden years. I am highly skeptical that anything that is truly criminal could be attached to Trump because I cannot fathom that they wouldn't have released it during the campaign. They consider Trump evil, and if he provably abused minors, or provably knew about the abusing of minors, then they are right. More is the shame then if that comes out and they DIDN'T release it.
I am more of the opinion that other people important to each side of the aisle are condemned by these files. Which...again...shame to all.

If Trump is found to have engaged in sexual activity with minors, do you think he should resign?
If Trump knew that Epstein or Epstein’s buds were engaging in sexual activity with minors, but didn’t report this to law enforcement, do you think he should resign?
If the answer is no to either of these questions, why do you take that position?

That would take some backbone from the GOP, which just isn't happening.
Otherwise, Congress needs to usurp the power stolen from it by the White House. Except that not only does this run into the issue like the above, we're asking a morally/politically bankrupt Congress to reverse a general, decades-long trend. So, that too, isn't likely.
I'm mostly in the John Roberts ACA boat, when he said it's not SCOTUS' job to protect the nation from bad but legal legislation. Trump won the election fair and square, and we're going to pay for it until his term is done.

Couple with completely partisan team politics on both sides in a narrow Congressional majority each time, and it will be near impossible to remove a criminal president from office. And people like Trump know it.

They don't have to do anything except pass big "emergency" bills. The gridlock that comes from not wanting to expend the effort at reaching real compromise gets projected back onto the President. All the while they can pretend for the folks back home they're a principled warrior unwilling to bend on the issues that really matter. And, the policy they actually want can come from Executive fiat with no work, and no risk.
It's peak laziness, of which they are richly rewarded.

and opened the door for Presidents like Trump to extend their powers and actions. They are not without tremendous blame for where we are now and where we (I fear) will be going in the future. They may not have wanted to put their thumb on the scales regarding healthcare, but they sure seem to have changed their tune when it comes to Trump.

YOU are the one who cheered on Jan. 6 in real time on this board and wanted politicians executed.
I've never said I want anyone dead nor have I insinuated it, especially with law enforcement. You're a big baby. I want ICE agents imprisoned (and they will be).
But since you're one of this site's biggest pu$$ies (both on this board and off), I'll make this bet with you. Let's bet $1,000 that you can't find a single post where I said I wanted someone from law enforcement killed.
I'll keep reminding you and tagging you about it because I know you're going to run away.
Let's go, tigermanac®. Prove your claim.
