I was checking on what the Freepers thought of all this (aside from the “we’ve finally got something on Bill Clinton” stuff.) The story line is that Trump found out about Epstein approaching a girl at Mar-a-Lago and banned him from the property. As far as they are concerned that was the appropriate action. Case closed.

It occurred to me this is probably a consistent conservative view. The alpha male protects those under his control from others. He of course gets what he wants, but that’s different. Society at large (police, courts) don’t have a legitimate role and if those outside his fiefdom don’t have effective protection, well, that’s just too bad for them.

It’s an ugly world view.
