We all know that Donny likes to give the game away. He says the quiet part out loud. Inevitably, he tells us what he did, even the criminal things, especially the criminal things. The left likes to portray that as stupid, like, maybe, he doesn’t realize he’s telling on himself. As the Trump/Epstein file thing plays out, though, I’ve started to see it differently. I don’t think he’s accidentally “telling on himself” like the moron we know him to be.

I think he’s bragging. I think he’s letting us know – he’s done something again, he got away with it, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Hell, his entire legal odyssey has been about getting away with crimes using the money he has. Most people simply don’t have the resources to buy their freedom by buying the judge. (I’m pointing at you, Aileen Cannon.)

We all know the wealthy elite live a life of privilege. I suspect we all know they get away with crimes the rest of us don’t, too. After that, the only question for them is, “How far can we go?” I think that’s the whole point to raping the girls. He (they) did it to prove they could. Raping our children is the special little “treat” they get because they’re rich and powerful. I’ve come to believe this is, very much, a “Let them eat cake” moment.

There’s no evidence Marie Antoinette ever actually said those words – she was ten years old the first time the phrase appears – but the phrase was illustrative of the attitude of the French nobles to the masses, who were starving at the time. It reflected the fact that the gentry were living high on the hog, enjoying all of the finer things in life and doing what they wanted to do, while the masses were increasingly starving and desperate. Does any of that sound at all familiar in today’s context?

There’s a story in history known as ‘Droit du seigneur’ (‘right of the lord’), also known as ‘jus primae noctis’ (‘right of the first night’). During feudal times, the idea was that the lord of the manor claimed the right to deflower any young woman on her wedding night. Although there’s no evidence of anyone actually doing so, stories like it go way back in history. Those stories reflect the power and privilege of the “haves” while reinforcing the subjugation and lower status of the “have nots.”

In both of those cases, the message is clear: If you’re rich enough and powerful enough, the law doesn’t apply to you. How better to prove that than get away with otherwise illegal things? And that brings me to the worst part. I think 47 brags that he gets to rape our children because of who he is, because he DOES get to rape our children because of who he is. We, the desperate masses, are being told right now, in real time, every day and to our faces, they get to rape our children if they want to.

Despite his lying claims, the Trump/Epstein files contain tons of incriminating evidence against the guy. Lots of other people, too. But I’ve come to agree with Jon Stewart who says nobody else in the files is going to jail. Jeffrey Epstein went to and died in jail. Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting, comfortably, it seems, in a minimum security prison still enjoying many of the finer things in life, though, admittedly, it IS still prison. But certainly NOT what most people envision when they think of prison.

We KNOW other people appear in the files. Rich and powerful people. We’re watching all of this garbage play out, “Ooh, whose name appears in the files and how many times?” So far, trump holds the record. I guess because he’s the biggest raper, the best raper. But all of that distraction is starting to feel like corporate media protecting rich and powerful people, possibly themselves among them.

It’s just a waste of time to learn that Roy Wood, Jr or Micheal Ian Black appear in the files in the context of television shows they made. I don’t CARE who was using Epstein’s plane to get around, so long as they were just using Epstein’s plane to get around. It’s noise and innuendo and as long as it IS noise and innuendo, both sides can use the vague reports to insinuate wrong-doing on the part of their political opponents. But it doesn’t have to be vague.

There is (was?) recorded evidence against these wealthy, privileged elites committing their crimes with these young ladies in the form of DVDs. Each disc was labeled with “[rich guy]+[victim]” and the date. So, you pick up the first DVD, type the name of the [rich guy] on a piece of paper, and set the disc aside. Then you pick up the next disc and type THAT name. You keep doing that until you’ve gone through all of the DVDs. (Don’t skip Donny’s.) Then you release that list of names. Easy, right? Straightforward, right? It might not even be all encompassing but it’s a great place to start prosecuting.

But nobody is doing that and nobody is going to do that. It’s infuriating. I find myself wondering what the masses are going to do about it. When they say, “We get to rape your children,” do we just shrug? ARE we going to let them get away with THAT, too? There are clearly no cops on the beat to turn to. The cops are protecting the rich, not the kids. What do people do when the cops can not, WILL not act?

The French people rose up. Marie Antoinette found her royal head rolling regally down the street. Perhaps there’s a clue in that. John F. Kennedy said that when you make peaceful revolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable. I’m now waiting and watching to see if the American people are really just going to accept what we’re being told, begrudgingly or otherwise…

“I didn’t make a mistake.” More truth. He didn’t make a mistake. He did it on purpose. He posted the video that depicted the Obamas as apes, a classic trope of bigots everywhere. He knew what he was doing. He’s trying to distance himself and blame others today only because the reaction was so bad, even from his own evil people. But this is just more Donny, telling you a truth about who he is. It wasn’t a mistake. It was intentional…
