I don't get it. Didn't we already know this? Is this not the bedrock that all of his heinous decisions are based on? What other reason would he start a war with Iran? No other reason than to move the spotlight away form his degenerate pedophilia.

Voters have to be reminded of things, constantly. With hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.
No other reason ...

1-The justice system works off of proof and evidence, not conjecture or presumption, no matter how likely the odds are (ideally speaking that is, different rules may apply depending on your race)
2-Since the President is also in charge of the DOJ, he has the power to tell them to just drop the issue. Now, a super-majority in Congress can bypass that, but currently that just ain't gonna happen
3-Like someone else pointed out, this headline was not written with people like you and me in mind, but rather people who were/are still hesitant to believe what the rest of us know to be true until they have literally no other option, and even then a large number of them will probably just go full-on into denial mode because they can't handle the idea that they were so wrong about something for so long
We now know the things we all knew 2 years ago. Finally, after all this time, accusations are coming to light after spending so long out in the open and fully in the light.
I swear I heard this same headline 2 years ago around election time. "Bombshell" then too.
So the Democrats had the power to release this evidence but chose to just hold onto it until right now?
So the Republicans do everything in Lock step with him, are in total power of all three branches of government, and aren't doing diddly squat except to empower him even more?
Yes. They are Nazis. What’s your point?
Ahh but this is the problem.
Define "the Democrats". We want names specifically who prevented these from being released? Who knew and said nothing.
Joe Biden. Chuck Schumer. Hillary Clinton. All of the top brass.
Exactly. Tons of people running under a dem ticket have no ties to this shit. Don't let them draw political lines.

We didn't know it before? I thought it was pretty obvious.
the media wants the conversation to stick to "look what we found" without moving to "what should we do about it," hence the constant headlines about us """discovering""" trump's connections to epstein.
social media included.

This is no surprise to any rational human being.
I, for one, am shocked. I just thought Epstein and Maxwell were two lone pedos with unrelated connections to teen modeling agencies and other known sex predators. Sure, the FBI found 300gb of data which later turned out to be dozens of terabytes, including video, which were later hacked, but the FBI said the data wasn't compromised, so no foul there. It's a shame he and so many of his clients died of totally natural or self-inflicted causes in such a short time afterward. I bet the discovery phase in court would have confirmed that his associates were blameless and that he was just maintaining a 20-40 terabyte collection of porn for personal use. The whole thing was so unrelated and random that they had to move Ghislaine Maxwell to a low-security prison despite her convictions for some of the worst and highest profile felonies in recent history.
But now there's evidence against another person whose name was all over the files and who has also bragged about inappropriate behavior with minors? Consider me shell shocked. Still, having been born yesterday, this is my first real day on earth, so what do I know.
dear fediverse users: you are not the audience this headline is trying to reach.
But, but... Epstein didn't kill himself
Trump doesn't care about being implicated in corruption, he's already established even in the legal sense to be a criminal and a rapist. Being implicated for more rape isn't going to make any noticable change. But what does a strong man really fear? Being perceived as weak. Being perceived as less of a man than any other. There is something he's burying that is going to make him look really bad to his base, that a sane person with morals wouldn't realize is that notable but will be completely devastating for a strongman wannabe dictator. I'm so curious what that is mostly for the human psychology aspect of what actually does scare trump and keep him up at night?
Probably his bisexual nature.
We have watched him: -Talk about Arnold Palmer's cock -Deepthroat a microphone -Talk about how strong and muscular dudes "hurt his hand" when he taps their shoulder. -Touched an athlete's cock -said he checks out guys' asses.
I mean, he is a soft man that covers himself in makeup and just cares about ballrooms and interior decoration. Normal people have always known he is a QUEEN. Ironically, him coming out would devastate the right, while the rest of us would still just hate him because he is a Nazi pedophile rapist war criminal.
This won't change a thing. Republicans know Trump rapes kids, they've decided that it's not a deal breaker.
and so do his voters
@badfaithact
Hmm
When I say "Republicans" I'm not just talking about politicians. Republican voters have all chosen to support pedophilia, rape, and blatant corrupion.
It's actually not even clear what other policies Republican voters support. It's not small government, fiscal responsibility, family values, or law and order. As far as I can tell, they're only the party of pedophiles.

So many of you in the comments are subject to exactly what the article describes:
"Part of the problem with the stories of Epstein, Trump, and the corruption all come down to the same thing: The bit-by-bit release of information has created a long record of abhorrent behavior, which means that the bar to shock is so high it’s almost impossible to clear. There is a kind of disgust fatigue at play: Yeah, we know Epstein was a disgusting sex predator, and that some of the men around him probably partook too; what’s new? Those who are ideologically motivated to believe Trump at all costs are also probably motivated to believe him on Epstein too; very little seems like it would change the minds of hardcore MAGA adherents."
They said they worked to "flood the zone with shit" and you are all spewing it today. Calm down with the surprise memes. Sit in the hard feelings, shut up or do something about it
or do something about it
What can I dom? It's kind of a trope with millennials at this point that memes are the form of "action" that represents our overall powerlessness to hold such people accountable, despite it being a scandal that redefines the meaning of "watershed moment".
If diddling kids for decades isn't enough to enrage a country into burning it down, what is?
The answer to you're question is literally the last sentence in the message ur responding to - do something means go support change where you can, run for office or support someone who is with the right ideas, directly. If you can't do that, you shut up - shut up and go to brunch, head in sand. And stay quiet about it all, verbally , through typed messages and memes. if you can't do that and be done, then you actively live in the discomfort , confront this horrific shit head on until it drives you to action. Those are your options.
Right? The leader of a country is known for hurting children. Everyone just says, "Yeah I don't like it, but there's nothing I can do about it." because the idea of organizing is so foreign to them that it's not even considered. That's an oppressive society.

At this rate, what hasn't Trump done? The guy breathes criminal activity, walks with intention of breaking something and everything he touches will turn to rigor mortis.

It wasn't because he's in them 30,000 times? I thought it was because he was in them 30,000 times, and also an adjudicated rapist. There's other reasons they don't want to talk about him being a proven racist? Weird.

As if the 10.000 (or more) blacked out mentions of trump in the files weren't evidence of his abundant participation...
Why is this all worded so carefully?
No mention ofcourse of how trump's pageant-business was used for and complicit in epstein's crimes.

Didn't we already know all this?
Democrats are a bit like Internet Explorer. Slow, painfully behind, only listening to the people's demands when a court orders it to, constantly forcing itself on you when you don't want it, and sometimes it's all you got.

This was known after the FBI investigated in 2006. Alexander Acosta, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida made a deal with Epstein in 2007 to bury it. This was under Bush. Since then Acosta has gone on to work in the Trump administration. Whatever happens to Trump, Acosta needs to be brought up on charges for using his office to let a mass pedophile ring off the hook. Someone needs to look at his decision making and then try him and put him in prison where he belongs. We've known all about Epstein for 20 years now and very little has been done. But now theres a long list of co-conspirators and they need to be prosecuted.

US culture revolves around the thrill of gossip. It's not about the thing itself. It's about high stakes drama.
It's like the Mythbusters gif where the truck never hits the bollard.
