    Who’s releasing these? Why so slow? Doesn’t trump control what’s released?

    One of the most interesting things about Trump supporters is he did nothing to earn the level of devotion people have for him.

    Even with the emails and his own actions withholding SNAP his cultists are still hanging on. The end result of his run will be enriching himself and billionaires.

      The one bit of credit that I can give him is that he’s good at making people feel seen. At his rallies, he’ll ramble on about how awful things are, and then he’ll say something like “I see you, I see that you’re hurting. I’m going to fix it”. It’s hardly the peak of rhetoric, but it’s super effective when so many people are struggling but the system is constantly gaslighting them because “the economy is doing great 👍”.

      I find it sad, because the people most likely to latch onto this are people who are most being fucked over by the system. Often hatred starts as a seed of fear for one’s circumstances. I wish they would see that Trump is just exploiting them all the more.

        It’s like an evangelist. They say it, but they don’t do anything real about it. Reminds me of John Edwards.

    Gentlemen. We got 'em.

    Now to just put our feet up, kick back and watch all the sweet, sweet consequence unfold. I’m sure we’ll finally all get to see justice and law prevail. Surely this time.

    It continues to baffle and disappoint me each day that EVERYONE isn’t demanding the Truth, no matter what it shows. Why that isn’t a red flag to every single American is sad.

      There will be hard evidence shoved directly in people’s faces that say 100% outright exactly what happened. They will still claim it’s a hoax.

      It’s part of American values. Part of patriarchy. Churches always hid sexual crimes. What happened isn’t anything different, so their reaction is the same - make excuses and shrug.

    I think what I “love” most about this entire saga:

    Every time people bring up “The epstein list” I just think: Why the hell would he keep a list of every single customer and who they raped and when? It is going to involve needing to look at the evidence and draw connections.

    And then we get shit like this where it is in 100% plain text. So… there probably actually is a single PDF file that lists every single rapist and who they raped and when and the SSN/passport number of each person involved and even what the weather was on each occasion.

      Their only comeback is “what about Clinton”.

      They’d be calling for legalized pedophilia a week after the Epstein files were released.

          That’s what the anti-porn laws are for. Literally. That’s in Project 2025. Define anything LGBTQ as porn, outlaw porn, hey presto, being gay is illegal.

      Unironocally, the line they’re going with is this

      “[O]f course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop.”

      See? He asked Ghislaine to stop cause that’s the kind of stand up person he is. He wasn’t involved.

        Definitely what a stand up person would do when discovering a child rape ring, of course. Wouldn’t want to be rude and take it to the police.

          According to all the dumbasses that believed that “The Storm” was something that was going to result in nearly all Democrats being arrested for the Pizzagate trafficking, I guess Pedonald was waiting until sometime in 2017, no, 2018, no, 2019, no, 2020 [1] to expose all the pedos.

          In the updated Q Cinematic Universe, I guess he’d need a time machine to go back to whatever the latest time when “The Storm” was supposed to happen and do it back then?

          [1] I wish I was joking, but there was a very stubborn Q/Storm believer on the DP forums that, when people such as myself would ask them why they believe what they believe in relation to “The Storm” still being a thing, even after all the many, many, many failed predictions they were quite sure that Pedonald would probably do it/would have done it, if the 2020 election wasn’t rigged, LOL. The guy only had four fucking years, and this stupid “Storm” never emerged, but apparently was only waiting for a second term.

          DP shut down their comment section just before the 2024 election, so I have no idea where that poster skipped off to and if they still believe in these ridiculous narratives…I sure hope they have friends/family asking them what happened.

          The cons are very much like end-times cults and their predictions…when their silly narrative is proven obviously false, they don’t abandon it, they just rewrite the fan-fic/Cinematic Universe and carry on.

      Their excuse is pedophilia is somehow fine and dandy now but we can still somehow condemn LGBTQ people for it
