        The Epstein Files seem to be an excellent distraction from the facists takeover however.

    He might be able to get away with it in DC, which has always had second-rate status in America, with nobody watching out for them. He won’t be able to do that in states with hostile governors who are not only NOT afraid of him, they are itching for a fight.

      I hear you, but also:
      Literal Dictator shit happening here. This is worth paying attention to.

      If Trump starts ordering the military to shoot you and your family I doubt you’d appreciate people saying “but what about the Epstein Files?”

      The Epstein Files aren’t news. They aren’t going to change anyone’s opinion. They are the distraction here.

    Of course he will. This is just a the lithmus test to see how far he can push the envelope and seeing what new laws need to be instituted or changed to get his desired outcome. If he doesn’t get much push back from DC, he’ll move on to a larger city, new state. Not New York or California, too big, too soon. But maybe something smaller like New Mexico, where you can add on the border as an issue. I’m not familiar with New Mexico any of their cities having immigration problems? You’re hardly ever hear anything about New Mexico, they must be pretty chill down there.

    And I understand a DC provides certain specific powers that he doesn’t have in other states.They’ve already overturned a few of his decisions, but it doesn’t seem to slow him I’m down much anyway. So I got a feeling they’re only going to keep escalating.

      Depending on how that mayoral race turns out he just gearing up to take control of NYC. Hell I bet it’s one of his wet dreams to rule that city.
