22. Shameful acts of murder to distract from Epstein.

Wed Sep 3, 2025, 12:11 PM

Wednesday

This kind of like when Reagan got >300 Marines killed in Lebanon because he got us involved
in a Civil War with multiple different sides and to distract from that he invaded Grenada to
attack some Cuban construction workers.

BTW Trump said the 11 killed were all Tren de Aragua drug smugglers who were threats
to American citizens…. that so doesn’t pass my smell test.
