President Biden on Monday night issued a plea for supporters to donate to his campaign in the wake of former President Trump’s victory in Iowa.

“Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” Biden wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“But here’s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday and it’ll be true tomorrow,” Biden added, posting a link to a fundraising page.

    Okay so like circumstantial, proximal attribution.

    I get it, I just don’t think it helps to assert suspicions as fact until those facts are less malleable.

    I have not read that first book, have you read that book?

      I did specifically note the word “theory” when I posited my assertion.

      Additionally the book is called “Epstein: Dead men tell no tales” and I can’t make a 100% confirmation that the books integrity has been maintained as I read a translated version (overview here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48720807-epstein), the overview presented by the book is, in my opinion, extremely watered down and appears to have been censored, either in context or content, to provide a minimally invasive view of what happens behind closed doors.

      The book could be used as a foray into questioning authority, but not as a reason to riot or scream, more as a thought provoking and reflecting work to allow others to look more seriously at those they’ve allowed into power.

      It’s not as though it’s terribly ‘eye opening’ as I’ve worked with various governments and government related organizations so not a lot phazes me any more, but it isn’t something I would recommend against reading.

        Yea, fair.

        If any circumstantial conspiracy deserves to be looked at, it’s the one where the multi-millionaire friendly with presidents is arrested for his private island pedophile ring, put on suicide watch, and still commits an unrecorded, unwitnessed suicide before he has the opportunity to make any statements.
