Now we understand why Trump didn’t want [the Epstein files] released.
Just a week before the midterm elections, which are already shaping up to be a bloodbath for the GOP, Democrats have dropped a bombshell. “A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s,” states a just-released report from the Democrats of the House Judiciary Committee.
Additionally, they claim that Trump has leveraged his FBI and DOJ to cover up the evidence, and have now called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate any potential wrongdoing.
We didn’t know it before? I thought it was pretty obvious.
So the Democrats had the power to release this evidence but chose to just hold onto it until right now?
Yeah, because up until this moment we had no idea that Trump was linked to Epstein.
People are stupid, and unfortunately sometimes political manouvering is a strategic game.
Given the complete lack of consequences for Trump so far, this release timing has a better shot of impacting the elections, thereby having consequences for Trump.
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.
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.
No other reason …
He and his buddies make a fortune when the gas prices dip then go up.
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
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?
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.
Been saying this for so long. The US is my country too. It’s better at propaganda than North Korea or any dictatorship. They’re all through force. We don’t need to force our population to believe in oppression. We put oppression on the menu and allow average citizens to experience applying it to others in bits and pieces from time to time.
You have to break the country to shut down the propaganda machine. It truly does need to be split into several pieces. The corporate media propaganda machine, the monopolies, the political parties who grip onto power…it’d all go away and we’d have a chance to fight for something new.
Oh gosh, we need to do the exact thing that the people running the country into the ground want to do?
trump was pushed by the tech oligarchs specifically to fuck the country up so much it would have to be parted out. The thing that has happened to every company he has ever run.
The US is so good at propaganda that you are even repeating its propaganda in a comment that is calling out their propaganda.
What can I dom?
Do you know any subs?
No, this just isn’t new information. He literally ran an overt, above board “sexy little girl bodies” business, with other convicted pedophiles. It was even on TV.
Sorry, what is your position here?
That the reaction here isn’t the result of “flooding the zone”. It’s the result of “lack of consequences”.
Until they are all punished, this is pointless.
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.
This won’t change a thing. Republicans know Trump rapes kids, they’ve decided that it’s not a deal breaker.
It absolutely will change things
Just not until after Trump, and everyone politically reliant on him, is dead or out of power
Until then the divisive propaganda will continue, and roughly 1/3rd of the population will believe it. Not necessarily because it’s actually believable, but because believing Trump did nothing wrong is convenient for them personally
and so do his voters
Why would you share that as if it’s a serious comment?
The guy’s handle is literally BadFaithAct
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.
Exactly
They know, some enabled, and a lot of them, while not involved in the island, did some diddling themselves
Um…we all pretty much got it…like years ago…decades even
Finally? This has been known for years, wtf???
What’s nice about this report is that it puts the slow drip of info over the years together one place, all connected.
“But but but! He said he was exonerated! He said this HIMSELF!”
Epstein’s Mossad role is also why we’re in a war with Iran. Netanyahu has video and other proof, and possibly the pee tape.
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.
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.
It’s been pointed out elsewhere, but it wasn’t his decision unilaterally. AG would have had to sign off. So, both of them, at minimum.
What?!?! Not Donald Juvenile-Fucker Trump?! There must be a mistake.
