    No idea why you’re in the negatives. Not only that, but it was just one of J.E.'s private planes, of which there are a finite supply of in the country. It’s a nothingburger other than the fact that it maybe illustrates just how big of a guy Epstein was

      It also proves that Trump’s team just doesn’t look into anything that the media might consider an issue and use to attack him. Given his drama-laden reactions to some things, I don’t think that’s a conscious choice but rather incompetence. They just don’t consider what might be used to attack him which is also why they always react liktheyve been caught with their pants down, because they are. All the time.

      It isn’t a real issue, but a lot of media doesn’t give a shit about real issues, they make whatever they can an issue because that brings in viewers which in turn means advertising revenue. It used to be that the staff and campaigns would vet suppliers for this type of thing, no matter how tangential, because it could be used against them.

      If there’s anything the Republicans have mastered over the last 50+ years, it’s how to make something that literally isn’t an issue to anyone, an issue to their base. One would think with that mastery they would try to limit that exposure themselves.
