Unfortunately, Trump's Operation Shiny Object Appears to have Worked

[Sam I Yam]

The media has been obsessing over Orange Julius Caesar's nothingburger of a "summit" with his boyfriend in Alaska while relegating the Epstein cover-up to the back of the line. Personally, I'm not worried about Donnie taking away our Freedom of The Press, because the Press itself has traded said freedom in for ratings and clicks.

1. Yep, too many reporters think they are now the star of the show especially on TV

[Hornedfrog2000]

9. Because they are

Look at their bloated income. Why would they want to mess with their jobs as drug salesman, i mean propagandists, i mean, news reporter.

[Walleye]

13. They have forgotten that their job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict comfortable

[Ohioboy]

2. Look at how many distractions he had to use this time

He had to do everything from blaming it on Liberals and threatening Rosie O'Donnell, to invading DC and publicly kissing Putin.

He usually doesn't have to work that hard.

3. And, it still is not working on people with brains.

Release the files!

[tavernier]

4. I think actually

GOVERNOR SUPERMAN of CALIFORNIA has rolled over Rump’s operation quite successfully. Even Fox Noise is hollering loudly about the audacity of Newsom to troll fatso’s shtick!

5. If the WSJ has more Epstein dirt,

It’s time for them to stir the pot by releasing more.

7. It is rather curious

The fact that the story WSJ dropped, the birthday book, was about something that Maxwell created.

It stirred up the hornet's nest, got her a transfer to club fed with work release and maybe a pardon later on.

Now, the WSJ has nothing else to publish?

Who is pulling strings here?

16. And National Enquirer, they have protected this pedophile for decades.

[Javaman]

6. only because congress is in recess. they have to deal with it when they get back.

this is very far from over or it no longer being in the press. there is still more to come.

[Ohioboy]

11. Yes, they still have to deal with what they ran away from

I can hear the Republicans- "Are we still talking about Epstein?"

[malaise]

8. Epstein is not going away

Take that to the bank

[orangecrush]

10. Welcome to DU

And no, it didn't work.

He is furious at CNN.

12. #Epstein Files

I'm not distracted. One can do several things at once . . . Just like Gavin Newsom.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

14. This morning's episode: John Bolton and Alligator Alcatraz.

[LymphocyteLover]

15. the media has failed us SOOOO BADLY

[NJCher]

17. Comer said yesterday

They are getting files today. I don’t know if it’s some or all. Watch for a statement from him.

Then there two other Congressional actions when Congress returns.

Does it matter as long as Congressional action proceeds? Because his constant tantrums are creating even more enemies and ill will.

[Volaris]

18. Its temporary. Wait till congress gets back to session, and

Bondi's total incompetence in running the cover-up is put back on public display. It's kinda like watching them dig their own grave, EXCEPT they're just hitting themselves in the head with the shovel, because they don't understand how either holes OR SHOVELS actually work.

[NJCher]

19. trump's doing a great job of

teaching them how to dig their own graves.

20. Not on Social Media .
