Pope Donald and the Pedophile

Forgive my comparison but the Trump administration is a little like the Catholic Church which spent years trying to bury it’s pedophilia problem. First irate denials, then pay off the victims and hide the perp(s) —Epstein to jail and alleged suicide, Maxwell to jail. And then rope-a-dope legal maneuvers to protect Epsteins’s very close friends. And of course then try to change the subject and forget about it, though the church doing the same arguably lost a pope in fallout from the scandal.

One would wonder whether the so very religious (sic) evangelical leaders and our politically bent legal system has room for a dear friend (at one time) of a well known pedophile as our supreme leader was/is or will they do the right thing. Don’t hold your breath waiting for guys like Franklin Graham, they really don’t care about anything but money and power. They have a lot in common with you know who.

Medicynical Note: The Republican Party as such no longer exists so expect nothing from them. Our once independent Department of Justice is under the close scrutiny of Epstein’s friend and led by a sad excuse of an Attorney General.

I’d get out the popcorn but the situation is too fraught with risk to our democracy and the lives of law abiding citizens to get much pleasure out of the chaos.
