      Trump’s been spending a lot of time and effort to have us not look at these files.

      At the very least when gifted the files he’s been trying to distract us from, we should take a look.

      And then perhaps take some time to revel in their contents ;)

        Y’all are so occupied by this whole Epstein thing that you forget to riot every week because your government is literally dismantling what is left of US democracy.

        Okay a couple rich people raped children. That’s horrible, but does it really matter now? Do you think the MAGA regime will just stop their fascist plans once there is hard evidence? Trump is above the law and his followers only believe what he says.

        From the rape and pedo stuff – absolutely. The outcome of focusing on Clinton is politically neutralizing and has likely made everything else contained irrelevant background news. It is humiliating to Trump, but not actually politically damaging at all. That is a perfectly calculated distraction to focus the public on by design.

          Nah, it’s a great booster meme for the popularity of this scandal, at least on the left side. It keeps it going in people’s minds and that’s all that matters in the long run because Trump and his cronies were hoping people would forget, and it hasn’t. Many former Trump supporters cite the Trumpstein files as one of the issues that drove them away from MAGA.

          Just as an example, JD Vance fucking couches has done jack for anything other than people making a fool out of him. Do you really respect him after that meme came out? I sure don’t. And I still think he’s a menace.

          Not politically damaging? Have you met his base? They are going to snarl at this, and he’s powerless without them!

            Have you met his base? They are not going to care about this. Or the pedo proofs. Or anything for that matter.

              Not from what I’ve seen. Granted, it’s filtered through leftist sources, but the heart of the matter is that he has been losing popularity and some people like MTG have done a 180 solely based on this. You can tell some yokels are uncomfortable and I say that’s a small advantage you can’t overlook. It’s a crack in the shining armor.

            It is not a crime and will blow over in time. His base has no depth or memory. This will be, Bill asked for it and how could he say no.

                Dogma is scary blind.

                I can’t even begin to explain how long I let the duality of religion fester with reality before I was motivated to action. To tell the truth, it was primarily the lack of quality friends and people to talk to about my curiosities and interests more than it was any epiphany of logic. I knew the facts and reality but the partition did not care in the slightest. The only way to change someone like that is being openly welcoming and accepting; to be a better tribe to join.

      Social media is propaganda distraction… All of this.

      People should turn off their phones and devices but at this point, we cant go back.

      Most people here were probably not even born before smart phones. They have no memories what life was like before all this. So this is “normal”.

      Duh. Problem is it works very well.

      Sorry if I seem rude but things have gone far past stating the obvious.

      Trump giving anyone a blow job, let alone bill clinton, is hilarious. If the epstein files are worse than this, it’s going to be one hell of a ride if/when they’re released. I bet there’s video of him raping children and possibly pics/video of this. It would explain why they’re fighting like hell to keep these private. The raping of the children will lose the women magas and the “gay stuff” will lose the men magas.

          Will they? I guess we won’t know until they actually say something about it. I feel like it’s been pretty quiet.
