All of the above has happened, and is happening, each and every day in the United States. None of the above is normal even with our less than perfect systems.

Trump/Epstein Files Hit a Nerve
As much as the Trump administration and his cabinet want the Epstein files to fade into the good night, they aren’t going to fade away.
