may turn back to Acosta. I look for him to continue babbling about the citizenship question, even though it's not gonna happen.

we won't even be talking about Epstein, or anyone related to him. As you point out, the ICE age is coming, and that will absorb our thoughts and words.

The only reason we talked about Epstein today is because he put his house up for collateral to seek release from prison.

When will Acosta be grilled by the House? The House has subpoenaed 80 people and or documents and gotten zero responses.

When will Barr shut down the SDNY investigation? Barr is one evil mofo. just as bad as Pedo45.

handles bad news, simply replace it with more bad news. So much bad news, that the folks in the mushy middle shut right down, and enter the zone of "Trump Scandal Overload Syndrome", and shut it all out.

He doesn't want any more talk about his buddy Epstein, and Acosta is going to be a constant reminder.
