Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

It's entirely possible that the Epstein files see the light of day, and Trump is only slightly affected. He's Teflon Don for a reason.
Personally I think we'll get the Epstein files a really long time from now, when they're barely politically relevant, and will only serve as a tool for Tankies to say "I told you so", just like loads of other documents that have been unclassified lately, relevant to stuff that was a big deal forever ago.
and even then it will be some weird release of shit that is pretty inconclusive but might imply something.. kinda like the JFK shit.
I do think there's like a 10% chance things get out of hand in the next 10 years and all this stuff gets dumped on the public in the context of various factions of the security state and political establishment flailing against each other. Things will get pretty messy after the decline really picks up pace and it becomes clear that there's no military solution to preserving empire.
