One image released Friday shows what appears to be a bowl of novelty condoms with a caricature of Trump’s face; the bowl has a sign saying, “Trump condom $4.50,” and each condom bears an image of Trump’s face with the text, “I’m HUUUUGE!”

Lmao, then release all of them, let's see them all Republicans. You can do that.

“We received over 95,000 photos and Democrats released just a handful. Democrats’ hoax against President Trump has been completely debunked. Nothing in the documents we’ve received shows any wrongdoing. It is shameful Rep. Garcia and Democrats continue to put politics above justice for the survivors,” the spokesperson said.

C'mon, you know theyve already quarantined the good stuff. They'll release a few salacious details, but conveniently, nothing will be actionable.

Only if the American people keep having this same reaction and don't realize that a government run by and for the rich pedophiles will only ever operate this way. It's meant to give you just enough, not to make you think something is being done, but to cynically remain passive and going to your job.

New war, country run by pedophiles, genocide reaching it's final solution, neighbors being rounded up and disappeared, nothing is affordable, your boss is an app, and the phone you're reading this from you don't even own, it's on a buy now pay later plan.

Like, I think history will have a hard time explaining the doomerism and passive inaction of Americans during this time. Usually populations that remain so inactive to their own oppression are driven by some material benefit over others or at least a false narrative of one. But Americans are just literally eating shit and going "damn, guess we'll have to hope the shit eating machine lets us vote for a reduced rate of shit in 2026".

Heads are usually rolling at this point of ruling class oppression.

Which means when the dam breaks, it's going to get real ugly, real fast.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sadly. I disagree. I think the issue is that people view history as a collection of sudden moments. Mostly because of how history is taught that way. But the reality of living through them is much different.

The dam does not break. There is no dam. The sea level slowly rises and consumes the shoreline. Those on the edge are the first to go to the streets and demand justice. But most people will not be effected enough to be forced into action.

Generally you are right, but now and then there is a historical spasm that makes a relatively quick historical change - the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Fall of the Iron Curtain, etc.

I think the fall of MAGA could be like that. If they rig the 2028 election for him to win again, then America normality has ended and it's time to get to some serious revolution.

"Heads are usually rolling at this point of ruling class oppression."

Looks around the world and back in history I beg to differ. Heads rolling is far and away the outlier. People can tolerate way worse than the average American lifestyle.

Actionable by who? Against who? Summers? Clinton? Congress decides when to impeach and for what reason. That's the only mechanism of enforcement against the president. They don't need to wait for the files to be released they could impeachment today for any reason.

Nothing in the files will be acted upon, in all likelihood. The action the files prompted was Epstein and Maxwell's prosecutions. This is all about public image.

That's what I said, with a lot more syllables.
