You wouldn't believe the shit he said on stage about the redactions, he said

"I think it's terrible, I like Bill Clinton... and I hate to see photos come out of him. I've always gotten along with Bill Clinton. I've been nice to him, he's been nice to me. I hate to see photos come out of him, but this is what the Democrats, mostly Democrats and a couple of bad Republicans, are asking for. So they are giving photos of me too. Everybody was friendly with this guy [Epstein], either friendly or not friendly. He was all over Palm Beach and other places... and Bill Clinton was a friend of his, but everybody was. Photos released of Bill Clinton included one showing him in a pool with Ghislaine Maxwell. Bill Clinton's a big boy. He can handle it, but you probably have pictures being exposed of other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago. This is a way of trying to deflect from the tremendous success that the Republican Party has."

So he claims that he's innocent and that Democrats are guilty which is why he's redacting all of the documents and withholding some entirely after every Democrat in congress ordered their release. Hell, even Bill Clinton is asking for their release.

Any Democrat in there is guilty. Every Trump-loyal Republican in there is innocent.

I like your comment but the /s is not optional. 77 Million Americans believed that shit in November last year.

Honestly, though... What did you guys expect? To me it was very obvious since day 1 that if the files were released it'd be heavily redacted.

I didn't think it was going to be redacted to this comical degree, but I knew it would be redacted to the point of being useless.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't expect a photo of trump to get released in the trove but here we are. They then went back and removed that single page after it was released.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 14 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Then they told cbs news they removed it to protect the victims. The interviewer than asked the very logical question "was the girl in the picture with trump a victim?" Then suddenly the picture was back.

Its very clear Trump will be redacted in every possible way. It just makes them all incredibly suspect and literally no one is buying it.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

Zero expectations but they have helped form an actual focus point to organize around. Redacted or not they're a rallying point.

The thought of Trump as a secret weaboo terrifies me for some reason.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This art style just makes trump look like a normal human.

I thought it was a joke. It was not. How can people let that shit fly, when their constitution says that they can “legally “ do something about it, is astounding. For a country that has the highest amount of armed citizens, its very surprising.

[–] kadu@scribe.disroot.org 22 points 1 day ago

They use "protect us against tyranny" as an excuse for their gun fetish and masculinity issues. That's the purpose of the guns. They're not overpowering any tyrant.

These people accept the highest military spending in the world, what are a bunch of McDonald's addicted though guys with sunglasses and glocks going to do against a tank?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

what do you want us to do? go out and start killing people because they're corrupt pieces of shit?

it would feel really good to take out the trash, but the repercussions of it would likely cause way more chaos long term.

there is a responsibility that comes with gun ownership.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

what do you want us to do? go out and start killing people because they’re corrupt pieces of shit?

Maybe start with a General Strike... or at the very least one of those No King parades but on a Monday

[–] Best_Jeanist@discuss.online 1 points 23 hours ago

The Adjuster did

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

remind me what the constitution says, using the text of the constitution, the people are able to do about this shit.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm guessing they're talking about 2A and consider overthrowing the current regime to be securing a free state.

But you're right, the US constitution does not have any well defined method for the people to remove an elected official.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

only legal method for the people to remove an elected federal official is wait for an election

Oh totally. I wish we had a no confidence process.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago

Well, they released less than 1% of the files that are required by law to be released, and heavily redacted the ones they did release. So yeah, basically all of it.

And then they also released previously public pictures of people like Clinton and Micheal Jackson with their own children, but with the kids blacked out so that it looks like they're with victims.

Not that Clinton or Jackson are innocent, but the manipulation of the images is blatantly politically motivated.

I'm waiting for someone to turn this into an Epstein Files meme:
