Don’t let this explosive story disappear.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Let’s keep this front and center EVERY DAY.

Michael Steele, the first African American chairman of the RNC, tells tRump that he’s “a vile, disgusting man, petty and pathetic.”

Lots of good stuff like that. Maybe this will be the last straw?

Not trying to be judgmental here, but does a new horror film open nationally every damn weekend? Look, I am old enough to remember when spy movies were sometimes playing in at least half the downtown New Orleans theaters. But geez…
