    There. Are. More. Important. Things. Than. The. Epstein. Files. Fucking hell, I swear some of y’all will have a gun to your head and say “nice distraction from the Epstein files.”

      My current stance is: they released ~1% of the files and we immediately got damning evidence on Trump, so they had to redact even more. Releasing all the files will give us untold information. Lawsuits gum up the machine.

      The epstein case WAS the distraction.

      They’re criminals, they don’t give a fuck about criminal investigations, they’re just trying to break as much shit as possible so they get a bag when the whole thing collapses. Every last one of the dipshits in office right now is just trying to get theirs from a national-level bank heist and know their time is limited.

      You’re not wrong and your frustration is clear. I think a lot of people have pinned their hopes on the contents of the files being so heinous that they will be the one thing that can dethrone trump and alienate him from his base. I’m not sure they’re right but I can’t fault folks for seeking something to keep their hope alive.

        Trump could be actively molesting the children of his cult and they would still make excuses for him and vote for him. He could rape their 14 year old daughters and they would claim their daughters led him on. He could molest their teenage sons and they would claim their sons were misled but sinful. These people are in a cult and their brains will always find a “good reason” to find for their choices. These people are mentally and morally weak people. So yes, they are stupid or evil or both.

    Is this the same Georgia where, after the 2020 election, Trump pressured secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes” in order for him to win the election?

    If he finds those votes, does it mean he won in 2020?

    Does that mean, ipso facto, he was ineligible to run for president in 2024, and thus Harris wins by default?

      No, that would mean the constitution is wrong, old, and outdated and we shouldn’t be listening to what a bunch of guys 250 years ago had to say just because they wrote a letter to England…

      /S

        So Roe v Wade gets reinstated, because the ruling that said older (and thus outdated) laws take precedence was incorrect, right? Right?

          Aww… How cute! You think there’s “reasoning” and “logic” involved here, and not just a vibe coded system of “beliefs” that somehow got political power

    More Epstein file distractions!

    I’m still waiting to hear what happens the day after the Epstein Files get released.

    Because the Renee Goode and Alex Pretti slayings put hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans into the streets. The on-again/off-again tariffs have been reshaping international trade relations. Mass arrests and deportations are rewriting the composition of entire cities and states.

    What’s been the upshot of the Epstein releases? Anything? Is it a mobilizing event in any tangible way?

      According to the one survivor, it’s super bad.

      So they’re gonna slow-roll that until the Cheeto kicks it; then it’s open season.

    Gonna find that rascally Biden cheated evidence that’s eluded them for for 6 years even if they have to make it themselves!
