Saturday Morning

I keep telling people (and myself) that so much of what's going on in politics today will be irrelevant by the time we all have to vote for who'll be President of the United States for the next four-year term. Everything out there is too volatile to stay the same, starting with Trump's behavior. Perfect example? This morning's news that the alleged wealthy/alleged pedophile Jeffrey Epstein allegedly killed his alleged self.

No matter what the autopsy shows, a lot of folks will never believe this guy who was in so much trouble actually killed himself. That's not useful to anyone's cause. It's too tempting to decide he was murdered to protect the secret that [Insert name of person you hate] was deeply mixed-up in with all that rape and debauchery. It could be Bill Clinton, it could be Trump, it could be anyone you wish everyone would believe was evil and horrible and belongs in the cell next to Epstein's. Feel free to stick their name in the accusation and refuse to accept any of that silly "proof" stuff that may come up. Anyone can play.
