CliffsNotes of the Zeitgeist, 112th Edition. Clinton calls Trump's bluff.

One of the things about the release of some Epstein materials recently is that Bill Clinton was in them, to nobody's surprise.

One of the things about Trump Derangement Syndrome, the real deal, not the MAGA claim that the vast majority of people on earth are demented as they realize Trump is demented, is the odd ability to take anything that's bad news and claim its good.  Here, the bad news was the massive redaction of the files.  MAGAs immediately claimed; "look, the left is burned as Clinton is in the files".

M'eh.

Nobody cared about that.

But it did cause Bill Clinton to come in and demand that all the files be released.

So. . . . you have Clinton never really saying anything about them, Trump as a candidate supporting their release, his acolytes demanding they be released, then Trump desperately trying to keep them from being released and claiming they're a hoax, to Massie forcing their release. . . to the Trump administration not complying with the legally set deadline, to MAGA's trying to claim that Clinton was in them was a big deal, to Clinton demanding they be released, with Trump once again claiming they don't amount to anything.

Just release them.

Something is in these that really hurts Republicans somehow.  We don't know how, but it must be bad.

And one thing we've learned is that the American BS about wealth being super good and helping everyone is just BS.  People can be too wealthy for their own good.
