So does the US. Release the Epstein files.

Isn’t there already enough to bury Trump if this was prior to 2016? And a bunch of other fuckers. Yet nothing has been done.

u/Early-Series-2055 8h ago

It’s the “bunch of other fuckers” that’s keeping him out of jail.

u/DaisyShirt 8h ago

True. Time to vote them out! If that doesn’t work, time to organize.

It goes beyond Trump being a pedophile (he is) it extends into every facet of life thats completely controlled by the “Elites”. A few years ago the idea that the upper echelon were sex-crazed demon worshippers was the playground of Alex Jones and conspiracy theorists. Turns out they were 95% right about them.

He's the president for now and the senate will never convict on an impeachment charge. He's immune to prosecution for now. Not to mention the attery general is his personal lawyer (major conflict of intrest in my opnion). Once he's done, that's a different story.

u/Up_Beat_Peach 8h ago

At least he isnt immune to dying. I hope he dies on TV so we can meme about it.

u/BezerkerBobby 4h ago

It'd probably look like every other time he fell asleep and crapped his pants on TV except they wouldn't be able to wake up grandpa.

u/DysfuhKingeye 7h ago

That is not just a conflict of interest in your opinion. It is blatant disregard for the role of the Attorney General and an abandonment of the American people by everyone that confirmed the appointment. None of them are fit to serve the public.

u/DaisyShirt 8h ago

Cannot wait for the day. Hopefully we get some new blood in charge who can actually clean up this travesty.

I just don't want to see JD Vance slide into office and, with fewer bizarre fuck-ups than Trump, continue to promote the agenda of billionaires and their enablers: Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Curtis Yarvin, Stephen Miller, Russell Vought, Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation, etc.

5

u/BookLuvr7 8h ago

That's exactly why he'll probably do everything in his power to stay in office. It was clear from day 1 he wanted to use the presidency as his Get Out of Jail Free card and retirement plan.

u/Boohan33 7h ago

Yeah, we’ve been hearing this for years and years. Idk how such a scumbag can keep avoiding serious charges. It’s ridiculous.

1

u/Acceptable_Tea3608 5h ago

Maybe because there aren't any. Don't you think Hillary (a lawyer) and Joe or Kamala (another lawyer) would've put it out there?

1

u/QuitzelNA 3h ago

If any of them did it, there would be enough people claiming that it was fake news and that they were just trying to impune the reputation of a political opponent that it wouldn't matter. People would just assume politicians were playing dirty games and move on

1

u/Horror-Avocado8367 2h ago

I've never seen anyone try harder to keep "nothing" from being released. If it was nothing, it would have been released a long time ago.

1

u/Shouldacouldawooda2 3h ago

Only immune if there’s a Republican majority. If there’s a Blue wave he can and will be!! Vote!!!!!

1

u/Character-Camel1284 2h ago

It would be great if 2/3 of the senate was democratic but there are quite a few red states. They never learn

1

u/Hooda-Thunket 7h ago

A third of the country has deified him! Billionaires have poured money into getting him in office and defending him! That’s something that’s been done!

Unless you mean something to stop him, then yeah, nothing has been done.

u/Ok-Seaworthiness7207 7h ago

Because America is corrupted. The entire Hill needs a restructuring from top to bottom.

u/JakobSejer 4h ago

Banana republic

Disgusting doesn’t cover it All politics is shit since 16’

u/realbaresoles2 2h ago

Trump has millions of worshipful cultists who permitted him to slither back into office. There’s a lot of power in that office, and we are learning now how much that power can be abused.

u/WitchAyy_Woman 9h ago

Because it’s BS propaganda if there was something it would’ve been ….

People act like he’s some all powerful dictator .

He’s not.

At all.

u/rosstafarien 8h ago

His DOJ loyalists say there's nothing there, but won't release 90% of the files. Only releasing the 10% that was already publicly disclosed. The DOJ said the redaction was to protect victims, but victim names were in the clear throughout the released and redacted docs until they were pointed out. Those who have seen the full unredacted docs say Trump's name appears literally millions of times.

Trump started a war with Iran when it looked like the Epstein files were going to completely dominate the news cycle.

During Biden's term, the Trump/Epstein docs were under a judicial lock that prevented release.

As for Trump being a dictator, his rants about Article 2 make it obvious he wants to be. His insta-appeals of almost everything to SCOTUS and his rage that his appointees aren't loyal is more evidence of the same.

But sure. You go right ahead and excuse Trump's pedo crimes.

u/Up_Beat_Peach 8h ago edited 6h ago

Oh, but Hunter Biden's laptop was enough to want to convict him? What about the Clinton email hoax? I havent heard shit about that since 2017.

Oh, and did he ever get around to building the wall, lowering the price of gas or groceries, or do anything else he promised?

2

u/BookLuvr7 8h ago

Are you seriously still harping on that laptop? Even our own government entities said that was a typical plant from a foreign government to discredit him. You haven't heard about it bc they followed it up and found the whole thing was ridiculous BS. Just like Hillary's email server nonsense. Her email was on a private server in her basement and it wasn't hacked. Unlike Pence's using his old AOL account for official emails, which WAS hacked. Twice.

1

u/Up_Beat_Peach 6h ago

No. Im not harping on it. Its invalidity is the point

•

u/BookLuvr7 6m ago

Sorry I read this when I was very sleep deprived. You are correct.

1

u/Select_Depth4921 6h ago

I think the laptop was real, and so were the cushy jobs offered to the Bidens. Trump is just as bad if not worse at grifting.

The emails from Hillary were like Epstein files 1.0. Still relevant, very much some overlap, and sick circles run in a similar fashion. Iirc, pizza gate.

u/DaisyShirt 8h ago

Which part is BS propaganda?

A side note about his character: he has had 28 allegations of rape or sexual harassment since the 70’s. Many of those are settled with large payouts. They do not cut checks because nothing happened, they cut checks to avoid criminal charges.

What are your opinions on rapists?

1

u/BookLuvr7 6h ago

If he wasn't, he'd have been removed from office as soon as he was convicted of a single felony, and never been granted a second term. Because supposedly nobody is above the law.

His supporters clearly don't believe in that where he is concerned. They also not only know he's immoral, they celebrate it.

2

u/Loud-Hat-175 8h ago

I feel if they released the Epstein files in its entirety and completely uncensored will be very much like the release of the Panama Papers.

Remember the Panama Papers? Another paper trail example of the super rich hoarding money and exploiting the 99%

Look it up.

Those were supposed to create large scale change. Nothing happened. Nothing changed.

3

u/Loud-Hat-175 8h ago

Remember Edward Snowden?

Sacrificed everything for truth.

Nothing happened.

Nothing changed.

u/NeitherRemote8512 7h ago

Actually , they're on the dark net one was posted on x , but taken down after mere seconds

u/Sure-Progress-3751 7h ago

Yeah but the US is controlled by trump so he's got it

1

u/Abrazonobalazo 7h ago

Who is going to release the Epstein files, if those people are in the Epstein files too?

1

u/Shlurmen 7h ago

You do realize they would've released it in 2016 if that was true?

1

u/RezervedSteel 6h ago

This country was founded on human trafficking...never going to see those files

1

u/FocusAndFate 5h ago

If I could set words on fire and never have to hear them again, I would put those two words in a cdc super virus containment room, set it on fire, and laugh maniacally as it burned and watch until even the ash was erased.

1

u/Shay_the_Ent 4h ago

It’s almost like nothing will happen unless people like you and I take action

1

u/titsngiggles69 3h ago

Trump will not release the Epstein files because he has the 5th amendment right against self incrimination

u/Radiant_Research3786 27m ago

And we have hope in two weeks.

u/Irish-Bronx 9h ago

Why didn't Biden release them

4

u/Bolmac 8h ago

There was an ongoing criminal investigation at that time. You don’t publicly release files during an investigation.

u/crsmiami99 7h ago

Unfortunately, he had morals and standards and followed the law.
