    I would say this is embarrassing if he wasn’t doing things so much worse, like crashing the economy, alienating allies, trampling civil rights, punishing minorities, and abandoning those invaded and starving.

          International sex trafficking rings have been Hollywood fodder for movies like Taken, for as long as there have been movies. As a human population, we all believe that something like this goes on somewhere.

          Now we find out that it was going on for real, and people like Trump, Epstein, Casablanca, Brunel, and others were operating it. Instead of demanding that all of them be rounded up and prosecuted, MAGAs just dismiss the whole thing, even though it was this child sex trafficking ring that inspired their involvement in the first place.

          It’s like they got to the bottom of the rabbit hole, and decided “Eh, fuck it, I’m cool with it. Carry on.”
