Appears guilty... Right, its unlike him.

Glenn Beck did a piece on the possible theories, some I had not thought of.

I don't think guilt is the motivator here. Coercion of some kind maybe. Or he got blindsided somehow and backed off, which doesn't seem like him. He's doing quite well with much else, but this is different. Side show to the big show? He may surprise us yet. Lots of confusion here. Maybe he's doing a "Nixon" and is protecting some people?

Not if he's been porking kids, no...

I get it and I agree with you on one hand... On the other, he is looking really guilty...

"You immediately act to put those who would harm children behind bars"
You must have the evidence and being on a list likely isn't enough.
I'm unhappy and disappointed, too, but still willing to pay out a bit more rope to get the most powerful offenders.

To answer your question...You immediately act to put those who would harm children behind bars, or hanging under a tree. There's no dealing with these types. No bargaining. If we need to keep waiting for the right time then the system is f'n broken and it's time for action.

so you do not trust the guy who took a bullet for us???

it is very, very simple

either you trust Trump on this
you know, the guy that took a BULLER for us all

or you do not

so far Trump is batting close to 1,000

If the 'list' is a valuable tool to use against perpetrators, do you make it public before you have
the chance to put the screws to some perps and get cooperation against more protected perps?
Or do you publicly bury it while privately building cases against traitors?
Hey, I don't know if that is happening, but maybe a little slack on the line is more likely to hook the fish.
Funny how the media was fine to bury the 'evidence' until Trump said it's buried.
Now the media demands it be made public. Just what we all wanted to hear a few months ago.
Time will tell ... eventually.

It is likely that Trump had a talking-to by the men behind the curtain and that's why he's not only covering up the Jeffy story but has started bombing Iran and sending weapons to Ukraine. Hey...I guess you gotta go where you're bread is buttered....children be damned. What does confuse me is here's a guy who took a bullet through the ear, stood up with blood on his face, held his fist in the air and yelled "fight" three times to the crowd. How in the hell does a guy like that all of a sudden not stand up for victimized little girls? Amazing. Oh well....I just hope we can get some kind of world peace and maintain some level of liberty in the US for a while. Good luck everybody...

Which might explain why the 'list' suddenly doesn't exist.
Is using the list to bring criminals to justice significantly different from
offering cooperating criminals immunity for testifying against bigger criminals?

He looks guilty, we'll hang our own man if he did something stupid. Unlike the other side simply says nothing and waits for it to blow over.

It's forbidden fruit - makes him complicit

After all we've seen in the past 8 years, how can we ignore (and not even mention)
the possibility that Trump has recognized the power that the Epstein files give him
over the perpetrators.
I do acknowledge that there is no current evidence of this.

Already on life support, IMHO. Could go either way.

When I voted for Trump I knew I was not voting for Jesus Christ, but I figured the Trumpster, after all he's been through, would hold up better than this. IMHO he caved and none of us will ever know why. Could this be a case of, "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss?". Trump is certainly not the old boss, but this?

We must stand for the rule of law, if we allow this, our country needs to die...

He is avoiding this and blaming stupid people - pathetic
