Epstein's Ghost :: Trump's Nightfall Moment

The Ghost of Crimes Past Won't Leave Donald Trump in Peace

Predators’ Ball

I’m not one to jump on bandwagons. I’m even less inclined to be part of the “BREAKING NEWS!” cohort that has blossomed like Trump-shaped mushrooms after a rainstorm.

Jeffrey Epstein’s reappearance as the Ghost of Predators’ Past brought me into the fold (for today anyway.)

Donald Trump has lied 450,045,600,030,201,456 times since he came down the gilded escalator a decade ago. The falsehoods have run the gamut from inane to deranged and, as history has shown, he’s gotten away with them.

Epstein is a different beast, however. Not because of the numerous photos and videos of the two predators partying together. Not because of the dozens or hundreds of young women who were trafficked and irreperably harmed.

No, Epstein’s ghost haunts the White House because he is the foundation myth of the MAGA Movement. Stealing a page from Vlad’s Political Playbook, Trump-era Republicans cast Democrats as pedophiles, child-traffickers, and the drinkers of Christan babies’ blood.

This wasn’t just belief in a criminal conspiracy, but of supernatural evil. The fight against Democrats, with Epstein as Perpetrator #1 gave the Trump’s movement the ultimate moral and religious superiority over their godless and evil opponents: The Libs.
