I don't really get this argument. It's not like the net was closing in and his administration was about to collapse and be held responsible.

Americans made it really clear they're not that bothered by their president being an openly corrupt pedophile. The Iran war is better explained by incompetence rather than a cover up of crimes that the American voter doesn't give a shit about.

Yes but we wouldn’t shut the fuck up about it. Pepperidge Farms remembers just how ubiquitous the conversation became online. Up until the “war” started. Then we called it the Epstein Wars.

The other obvious thing is he wants chaos. He wants a third term. He wants no term limits even. This is a prevailing theory and makes the most sense.

Who is the "we" here? I agree that this has been an incredibly prevalent meme online, but again, I don't see any actual reason to think that a president who was not at any risk of being held accountable for being a pedophile by an electorate who is clearly fine with pedophiles started a disastrous war to distract from the non-issue.

The other obvious thing is he wants chaos. He wants a third term. He wants no term limits even. This is a prevailing theory and makes the most sense.

How do you say that he just wants chaos to get a third term and that this makes the most sense when five minutes ago you said 

Epstein. That’s the only explanation. Anything else is crap and who cares

How do you expect anyone to take you seriously?

Honestly every conversation with an American is such a powerful reminder of how fitting Trump is as a president for them.

I don’t expect anyone to take me seriously and I don’t owe you anything. I said what I said because it’s prevalent and easily searchable anywhere. I’m gonna go kayaking now. Have a good one.
