At this point, why would they even care about the epstein files? No one's actually doing anything about it. If pedo's were getting [redacted] and they were afraid for their lives, this whole "distraction" narrative might make sense, but I have not seen an instance of someone suffering real consequences for being in the files. I would love to be wrong on that bit.
Because raping kids isn't the worst thing they could have been doing to kids...
As much as Mr "I could shoot someone on 5th ave" thinks he could get away with, he's terrified about the Epstein files being released.
It's some fucked up weird shit in there. Shit that would make anyone hate him.
That’s what’s genuinely unsettling about the files. He’s terrified of what’s in there, and I seriously don’t think it’s because of the child rape. This is the asshole who has openly talked about walking into the dressing room of Ms. Teen USA while they were all undressed. He doesn’t give a flying fuck if people know that he raped a kid. There’s some other shit in those files that completely scares the shit out of him if it saw the light of day. I have my ideas as to what it could be, but something tells me my imagination isn’t nearly fucked up enough…
Mmm pizzza. Fuck you for making me wont though.
there’s plenty of other extremely valid reasons to despise D the John
It's the elections, trumps poll numbers finally started tanking so he bombed iran to raise support.
He held a rally today where instead of signs about deportation, the audience was holding “bigger paychecks” signs
OH suddenly we’re running on affordability? I thought that was a Democrat hoax!
Also, destroying the world’s economy and killing innocent schoolgirls is a choice.
Although it’s odd how he had to be like “I hurt American girls but look I hurt Iranian girls MORE so you love me again” and they all sucked his fucked up little knob
He's desperately looking for pretexts to rig or completely cancel the 2026 election.
That's simply not going to happen. We held elections during the War of 1812, the Civil War and World War II, FFS.
A lot of things trump is doing that simply never happened before
The idiot was calling himself the "peace president" and anyone dumb enough to buy that is probably not thrilled about another war. And anyone smart enough to see through his nonsense wasn't going to vote for him anyway.
There are some spectacularly incompetent morons in this administration, but I think even they could figure out that starting a war with Iran wasn't going to win people over.
The Epstein files are the distraction. The United States government, particularly but not exclusively Trump and his appointees, is committing a new crime every week but everyone keeps going back to the probable suspicion that Trump was involved in the sexual abuse of minors years ago. There is no way that Trump will be removed from office because of the Epstein files when the Department of Justice is running an illegal coverup for him. Complaining that the DOJ is withholding files that probably exist about something that Trump probably did is too abstract for anything to happen in Congress. Get them out for the recent crimes that aren't just probablies first and then talk about the Epstein files when over half of the government isn't trying to cover them up.
Yeah this angle makes way more sense.
