The difference between Republicans and Dems?
Republicans demanded the release of the Epstein files when they believed the lie that it was all Dems in them.
Once they learned that Trump is probably all over them they started blaming the victims.

It’s not true that Trump only pardons rich white guys. He also pardons rich foreigners who put hundreds of millions in his pocket through his crypto company.

Three cognitive exams in in one year?
It’s not normal and it’s not routine care. Most likely, it’s risk management. But management of what?
It’s either:
• Inconsistent results — always “borderline” scores
• Medical event — a minor stroke or TIA
Trump is impaired and needs to resign.
