Trump supporters are not the problem when it comes to those who have been desensitized by way of over-saturation. The ones who are relevant are huge number of people in the middle.


On the contrary; Trump supporters are more often than not low information voters who buy into everything Trump says when legitimate news outlets try to tell them otherwise.


Trump supporters who are not hearing about the scandal of the week are obviously not the ones who have been desensitized by over-saturation. Not the ones comparing it to the boy who cried wolf.

Low on emotional intelligence i.e. react to Fox news based on "gut feelings" rather than rationale/critical thought

In my experience that has hardly been exclusive to Fox news viewers.

But it's hardly "the boy who cried wolf." This current President has embroiled himself into a sea of trouble that no other before him has. Just because you dismiss it hardly makes it untrue.

I am not talking about me. I am talking about an effect regarding the public in general. I know that you don't want there to be millions of people who have become desensitized but that has happened nonetheless. Right now it is the Epstein scandal. A little time before that it was something else. In a relatively short time it will be some new scandal.

Yeah, fake scandals to stop Trump again as shown by the undercover worker for Google.

Yet there are millions more who are not desensitized, but are outraged by Trump all the more by each scandal piling on top of the last.

These days who can tell what is real or fake. Unless whatever includes an actual indictment it just ends up looking like more of the same.

One can almost guarantee as soon as this scandal goes nowhere like all the others, something will replace it and then something will replace that and so on ad infinitum.

A bit more friendly than Donny wants to admit. And what the hell was going on with his eyebrows back then?

New video emerges of Trump partying with Epstein and underaged cheerleaders
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/201 ... e-surfaces

In the video Trump can be seen laughing and telling Epstein how hot one of the girls is. Further in the video Trump can be seen grabbing one of the girls while dancing and fondling her.

This seems to contradict Trump's claim that he "was not a fan of Epstein"

Please explain how professional cheerleaders for the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins professional football teams are underage girls.

So far this seems completely ridiculous. 26 years ago a celebrity mogul cavorted with grown adult women in a very public setting and somehow that is supposed to be scandalous.

He schmoozes with Epstein along with a number of other people literally in a past century and somehow that is supposed to be a scandal.

How does this work, is everyone who ever socialized with Epstein in any way guilty of something?

I have this problem where I end up "defending" Trump becuse I object to what I consider to be absurd nonsense. While I do not particularly like Trump I can not pretend that I do not find this sort of thing completely preposterous * softly chuckling*.

Simple....He said he was never a fan of Epstein...obviously he was...

The video is doing the rounds on all the major news outlets so I imagine it's yet another page in the Trump "liar" journal
