The proofs that Cheeto is a raging pedophile are circling so close to him, it's amazing that he hadn't been impeached yet. A tenth of a hundredth of the outrageous pies this guy has had a finger in would have been career-ending for any other POTUS. He really is made of teflon...

He has been impeached, twice. And yet he's still President.

Because republican senators did not have the balls to convict him

repubs probably waiting until 2 years and a day into this term to impeach trump so that Vance could have a shot at 10 years in office.

Nah, they’re waiting for him to die so they can start talking about how much they never really liked him

It's because Fox News is a hell of a drug.

My Dad thinks the Epstein thing is dramatized. He posited, to paraphrase, "the girls weren't really that young."

And I want to be clear, my Dad is highly intelligent and an upstanding person.

It's just that all news in the US is bisected.

I gotta say, most of these “news” channels are awful. The pandering to either side of the isle is crazy. Fox especially - they just straight up lie.
