The House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released a trove of evidence regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation, against President Donald Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the Department of Justice. The 50-page report, released Monday, contains testimony from 11 women who either accuse Trump of…

    Shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

    Someone who was listed over thirty thousand times in the trumpstein files-- I mean the Epstein files-- and who was proven in court to be a rapist, raped more than just one person??? Shocked…

    These people need justice.

    the question is NOT whether he is guilty or not. it’s how many Americans can work together to stop MAGA, it’s like a foreign invading army, but it’s just other Americans who DONT give af about the constitution or playing fair.

    However: Trump is not the cause, do NOT focus on only Trump or His Family, though they also deserve scrutiny.

    Trump/Maga are symptoms of something much more toxic and cancerous and indecent lurking with every American. Trail of Tears, The Mylai Massacre all was ordinary soldiers, same with Abu Grahib. Every century since it’s inception the USA: rape rape rape, century in century out. cant even say the word on youtube to speak openly about it. Americans like to JOKE about "dont drop the soap" in the shower in prison, like prison rape is supposed to be funny or PART of the punishment!?!? the fuck is that shit. .

    A lot of Americans are really sick. they pretend this stuff is normal… Prove me wrong America.

      American here, and while somebody could righteously and pointlessly make a “not all americans” argument, you are spot on about the culture as a whole.

      The rape history is valid but even that is a subset of the larger cultural issue where helping others is seen as weak and for suckers, while shameless greed and punching down are what the smart and the strong do. Look at none other than the president. He’s a rapist and a scammer, sure, but he also brags about how he doesn’t pay taxes because he’s smart and his supporters eat it up.

      Keep in mind that while the USA makes up 2% of the world’s population, it has 25% of the world’s prison population.

    Holiday season coming up. Remember to let your traitorous family members know they willingly supported a felon rapist pedophile just to piss off half of their fellow Americans because they can’t peel their dipshit eyes off of propaganda networks.

    Never let them live this down. Or at least not for as long as we’ll all be paying for their stupid fucking decisions.

    I would be surprised if anyone was on the fence about Trump’s sex crimes.

    You either have people who realize that he looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and are willing to treat him like a duck…

    …or you have people for whom no amount of evidence could ever convince them.

      He bragged about grabbing women which is assault, and we know he did worse than that, but lots of guys think they should be able to do what they want and brag about it, they’re abusers and worse. It’s part of their old boys’ club and hide crimes of each other, frats, sports, military, supernatural groups, all hide crimes of sex and others.

        A lot of people are attracted to trustworthy positions of power because of the opportunity to commit crime and the low odds of being caught and prosecuted.

      I read it as either 11 more, or more evidence for 11 that are already known about.

      At least the victims haven’t given up in the face of a game that is rigged against them.

    That is the tip of the iceberg. Wait until we find out how compromised he is because of people who know this fact and is blackmailing him with it.

    There are rumors of skeletons buried in golf courses. Only 11?!?!?! If one is mentioned over 38,000 times, the number is much higher.

      Rumors? We now for a fact he buried his ex wife on his golf course to get a tax deduction for being a cemetery.

      No doubt he’s done more than that with skeletons.
