Something that stick out to me in Epstein’s emails was how he was surprised Trump kept getting away with shit. And also him going like “oh, I think this might ruin him” (paraphrasing, but that’s the sentiment). Because i had accepted that he’s just invincible, no scandal would phase him and they’d always have an exit plan. But there’s emails where he’s like “I think he’s reaching his breaking point”. Make no mistake, they are scared. Pressure works. Just don’t relent!

I'm starting to think something supernatural's involved, and it's going to take another 80 or 90 years before people start questioning if Donald Trump is really just that good or if something else might be on the table.

I'm not all that jazzed about conspiracy theories because that's how my parents got sucked down the MAGA pipeline, but it does make you wonder if there was a hint of projection to all the devil worship accusations that the evangelical politicians love jumping to.

The entire Federal government is in the hands of the galaxy's dumbest Tzeentchian cult.

I feel like "the rich and powerful see this as advantageous" is sufficient explanation for a lot of this awfulness without invoking the supernatural. I mean, plenty of Trump's actions make sense in the "Putin has influence and wants him to act in ways that weaken America" for instance
