Trump just gave MAGA a million reasons to walk away

With apologies to Lady Gaga (who managed to be overshadowed by Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl), Donald Trump’s million reasons are a lot different than hers.

Seems pretty sus to me, but then again, I’m not in the world’s dumbest death cult.

And yet MAGA is still finding ways to avoid that truth. It’s honestly impressive that they’re still able to hold their phones in their hands, considering they’ve twisted themselves into the tightest conspiracy pretzel yet.

Trump’s pet AG, Pam Bondi, lied under oath yet again on Wednesday during a House hearing. I don’t know who arrests her for committing that federal offense, but since Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) said she lied under oath, she should be impeached immediately.MAGA knows the truth. They just don’t want to have to admit to anyone, but especially to themselves, they were wrong about Trump. I don’t know when being wrong on the internet became a fate worse than admitting your Dear Leader might have done very bad things, but again … I’m not in a cult.

Instead, I’m a magnet for one. Lucky me!

The MAGA morons got triggered by a tweet of mine about the Million Mentions, and now it’s getting a lot of troll traffic. They MAD! They want to scapegoat and harass me into spoon-feeding them details to dispute. They want to send me on a wild Google chase. Tara don’t play like that, my friends.

Yeah, if your name isn’t “Jeffrey Epstein,” but you’re mentioned in the Epstein Files MORE THAN A MILLION TIMES, it’s probably not for a good reason.

Steve is an actual person, not a bot. He’s a perfect example of how MAGA operates on Twitter. He went from that dumb take to the typical goalpost move of “Why didn’t Joe Biden release the files,” while calling me “Karen,” because they think dumb bullying will hurt my feelings.

MAGAt, please.

After a decade and a half of their juvenile trolling and distraction tactics, there’s nothing a MAGA cultist can say to derail me. They can try it, but they fail every time because I have this pesky thing on my side called the TRUTH. The “Eff Your Feelings” Red Hat Death Squad is a case study in projection language mired in spineless snowflake self-victimization. They’re mad that Bill Clinton is mentioned about 1,000 times, but there hasn’t been anything about Bill with young girls.

(Quick Clinton sidebar: Whatever arrangement Bill and Hillary had/have in their marriage isn’t our business; what they each did when voters tasked them to serve our country is all that matters. Regardless of what Bill did while in office, he never stopped doing his job or threatened our national security. And while I know this isn’t the strongest argument, Bill Clinton likes women who look like WOMEN, not girls. Check his blemished track record for yourself: the man has a type. None of them resembled little girls or his daughter, did they? Even Monica Lewinsky, who was 22 and therefore capable of giving consent, took a lot of hits from the press (and Saturday Night Live) for being a healthy, curvy woman. So enough with the “But Bill Clinton” or “Why didn’t Joe Biden?” when Trump is mentioned OVER ONE MILLION TIMES, FFS.)

That Steve guy trolled me under my reply to Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), a self-describedrape survivor who’s the worst woman in Congress now Marjorie Taylor Greene has self-deported back to Georgia. Nancy simply doesn’t use Trump’s name in literally any of her tweets about the Epstein survivors she claims to stand with. It’s like Trump simply isn’t a person who’s been alive for nearly 80 years. (Oh, if only.)

If you read any of Nancy’s tweets about the Epstein Files (which I don’t recommend, but you do you), you get a narrative that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell did all the bad things, and Trump is just an innocent victim who had no idea what they were up to when he accidentally crossed their paths.

What bad luck, huh? Between the “witch hunts” and the “fake news” lying about him, he just happened to accidentally be friends with a couple of international sex trafficking rapists, one of whom claimed to have introduced him to his third wife. (Who has threatened to sue over the claim.) Those million mentions? Just anecdotal, hearsay, or whatever the Putin Propaganda of the Day might be.

I’ve tried all of the ways to get an answer out of Nancy, but no one in any of her offices will give me one. They don’t respond to emails. They say they can’t answer my questions when I call, because the comms director just can’t be located. She’s never going to reply to my tweets. I guess someone will have to make Mace stand on the House floor to declare her loyalty to a rapist pedophile cult over America, and then be forced to resign so she can go right to jail. Protecting a pedophile rapist cult while pretending to care about its victims is re-traumatizing for Epstein survivors and the worst possible way to throw away your life, but the MAGA cult is clinging to every last shred of hope that the Epstein Files are somehow Biden’s fault.

Trump has lied to his minions about everything, but especially Epstein. The timeline of lies began with a campaign promise to release them. We still haven’t gotten all the files, fully unredacted. Perhaps a million more mentions are on the way, but they still won’t be enough to convince the diehards who need to keep living this lie.

This is the MAGA cult today, and it will remain who they are until they decide that being decent human beings is more important than “owning the libs.”
