Midnight Meme Of The Day!

by NoahPut it in perspective: How many child molesters do you know? Do you hang out with people like Jeffrey Epstein and Alabama Senate candidate Judge Roy Moore? Who would you nominate for the Supreme Court? But, like I said the other day, birds of a feather flock together. Epstein is Trump's "terrific guy" and "a lot of fun." I can tell you another thing: If I worked at the Trump White House and had a teenage daughter, I would never bring her in on "Take Your Daughter To Work Day" but then, what are the chances that a patriotic American like me would ever work for Trump? I don't even like Putin or Hannity. By the way, why does Kellyanne dress up as a toy soldier and Ivanka as a Barbie?But what of outside the west wing and the oval office? Since Jeffrey Epstein and his "Lolita Express" party plane hit the headlines again, the Washington "elites" have been predictably silent about the matter, with one exception that I can think of: The office of Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-V.I.) has announced that she intends to keep the money that Epstein has contributed directly to her campaigns. A frequent contributor to both parties, Epstein and his cash have all the bases covered, not just the lawyers and the courts. Epstein's kind of filthy money can buy a lot of silence and looks the other way. Alex Acosta, Trump's recently ex-Secretary Of Labor got the boot for protecting Epstein but so what. Acosta's forced departure was only made in an effort to get us to stop talking about the whole miserable thing as Washington slapped its hands together and said, "Well, that's that. Time to move on and please don't look under any other rocks around here."Over the years, from time to time, we've heard brief murmurs of members in "our" congress abusing their teenage congressional pages; murmurs that nearly always get covered up in nanosecends. Boehner and Pelosi discontinued the House page system in 2011, citing the arrival of social media messaging systems as making the need for pages redundant. But the Senate, with the same technology available to them, and home to far fewer politicians, kept their pages.With any other whiff of scandal, our politicians would be knocking each other over to get to the microphones in their efforts to express their (faux) outrage, but now... crickets. Apparently, if any one politician of either party spoke up, it might put them all in the spotlight and, hey, we wouldn't want that now, would we? This goes straight to the figurative top, to the oval office. So, what are we to think? I know what I think. The silence is deafening.
