Will this distract my base from Epstein?
They should offer to rename themselves the Washington Epstein Files
Honestly, that’s a fucking brilliant idea. That’ll make him avoid that shit like the plague.
Have John Oliver make a giant dancing folder mascot name The Wonderful Secret.
Expect more Jazz Hands like that every day for as long as the Epstein scandal is of interest.

I never stopped calling it the gulf of mexico
Edit: typo
Wrong.
yeah.
If I hear some one use the other term, my plan is to confront them about using "pedo" language. If they insist, I'll shift to questioning their support for a pedo.
There is a cognitive dissonance that's been set up where their love and obedience to Trump is tied in with an alleged "hate" of 'pedos'. I mean it's obviously bullshit but you can skewer someone who can't disambiguate the two using this approach and create a situation in their mind they can't handle.
Oh, I like this. A lot.
See you on the cattle cars
Better a victim than an accomplice
People, we can not waste time focusing on the fact that President of the United States, Donald Trump, was best friends with the world's most notorious pedophile, Jeffery Epstiens, for 15 plus year and is currently trying to cover up the fact that he was most sertently a client if one looks at even the most broad meaning of "wonderful secrets".
We must focus on the more important things like... checks notes
Bringing back real sugar in Coke
Hillary Clinton's Emails despite Trum admins actually sharing OPSEC details with a reporter
You know the important stuff of the things that really matter to the people
Is this the new copypasta? No more Hector, LA speed check, or Mankind?

I will second this motion of changing the name from Washington Commanders to Washington Epsteins.
Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen.
Seems to me they're more into Cricket, but what do I know?
... oh, he means the other Indians. Huh.
The other Indians are also probably more interested in Cricket than this.
🤣🤣
Indians are far more concerned with the speed of the pitch; and spin v pace...

Lets go, return it back to the Washington Football Team
I frfr loved this name and logo and everything.
There goes Orange Chicken Little again, trying to pop ninja smoke in light of the Epstein files. God dammit who fucking cares about a football team's name. You can name them the Washington Red Nutsacks and it still wouldn't affect their performance. Quit fucking getting distracted!
Child rapist grasps for distraction from his role in a sex trafficking ring.
i'll have to agree they need to return to their old name. Washington Football Team was great, they should return to that
🤦
Every day that you think you couldn't be more embarrassed is a lie.
The degree of overreach is astounding.
We could split the difference. What’s the middle ground between the US military and native Americans? You guessed it! Your newly renamed Washington Genocide!
Everyone would actually remember they are from D.C. and not the state of Washington if you called them that.
Edit for fun fact: Washington D.C. is more than 300km closer to the equator, than it is to the capital of Washington.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
It’s time for the GOP to change its name to the Nazi Party out of respect for their historical fascist predecessors
Why didn’t he command them to rename themselves to “Donald trump definitely didn’t rape kids?”

He probably wants to force them to sell the team back to Dan Snyder, too. Trump and Snyder do seem to be men cut from the same cloth.
Snyder only sexually harassed adult cheerleaders, though, so he's not quite in Tump's league
