Is that smell burning flesh?

 A clown tweeted an out-of-thin-air suggestion that Bill and Hillary Clinton were behind the death of  Jeffrey Epstein. The President of the Unites States retweeted it here and also here.
  In short, the President of he United States has accused leading members of the opposition party of murder. From The New York Times:
 

 Hours after Mr. Epstein was found to have hanged himself in his Manhattan jail cell, Mr. Trump retweeted a post from the comedian Terrence Williams linking the Clintons to the death. Mr. Epstein “had information on Bill Clinton & now he’s dead,” wrote Mr. Williams, a Trump supporter. In an accompanying two-minute video, Mr. Williams noted that “for some odd reason, people that have information on the Clintons end up dead.”

 There is no evidence to substantiate the claim, which derives from groundless speculation on the far right, dating to Mr. Clinton’s early days as president, that multiple deaths can be traced to the Clintons and explained by their supposed efforts to cover up wrongdoing.

 This is not funny. This is also beyond traditional Trump. I know: He told the Boy Scouts "man to man" to get rich so they could get laid, and hardly anyone got excited. So far, this retweet seems to be getting the" ho-hum, there he goes again" reaction all the rest of it does. But this is different.
 He is talking the way Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela was talking about his rival, Juan Guaido, when Vice President Pence, John Bolton and Mike Pompeo and the whole State Department went stark, raving bananas and threatened war. Historically, talk like this leads to action, and action leads to loss of life and liberty. It isn't enough to say Kim Jung Trump is "like that." He has never been this much "like that," and others who are like that have caused pain and suffering to their own people and others.
 Trump just dodged a bullet himself, since if Epstein had gone to trial he would have been asked every day if a presidential pardon was on offer.  (My gosh! The neighbors we have down here!)  And he, unlike Clinton, used to give Epstein rave character reviews.
 The proverbial frog never noticed the heat being turned up under the pot, and that is why he became frog legs.
