If only someone could release the Epstein files in their entirety with a wave of a pen, this whole thing could be sorted and put to rest.

    What do you think is going to be revealed that:

    1. Will stop MAGA trash from making excuses for him

    2. Will be enough for the media to stay focused on it

    3. Will enable the “opposition” (such as it is) to enact any meaningful consequences

    4. Will have any effect at all on the culture that created Trump in the first place

    You’re absolutely delusional if you think there’s some hard evidence hidden away somewhere that would be sufficient to change a single American mind

    1. Don't give a flying fuck what MAGA excuses.

    2. There isn't much media that isn't a propaganda mouthpiece for billionaires, corporations and the politician's the former owns. There are still independent sources and reputable journalists that would make it important enough.

    3. The more information people have the more accurately people can make their decisions. An ignorant populous is an easily controlled populous.

    4. I think it could.

    5. Wow, nice troll! Tagged.

    Yes, there is no path to resolve the problem of the USA that does not go through all-out civil war. Half the country is completely convinced of an entirely fictional reality and are more than willing to die and to kill to defend it. They are well past the point that evidence of any kind can affect them.

    The day will come when their god-emperor tells them to kill and die, and they will.

    It won’t be a civil war.

    Literally nothing will get the other half off their sofas to fight back. They’ll just take whatever MAGA gives them.

    Yep! If there were, the Democrats would have released it during Biden's administration. Ain't no Democrat gonna resist releasing dirt like that.

    Narrator: He was in fact a pedophile

    60 Minutes has been such a fucking propaganda outlet since CBS got bought by Trump's billionaire buddy, Larry Ellison, and EVEN STILL, it's not enough for him.

    Literally the most soft-ball interview imaginable, the interviewer read a short excerpt from the alleged shooter's manifesto about fighting pedophiles - it didn't even directly accuse him!!! - and he freaked out, started saying "I'm not a pedophile" and whinging about how disgusting and disgraceful the interviewer is for bringing it up.

    It's the most self-reporting behavior imaginable.

    The worst imo is still the question asked during lockdowns that basically just asked him to say anything comforting to scared citizens, and he went off the handle accusing the reporter of being rude and mean, etc. Pretty much the easiest question for a sitting leader to just bullshit through for some easy PR and he couldn't help but make it about himself.

    Right, but he was never a leader. He's a boss. And the type of boss who expects people to just do what he says, without any questions. Simply asking a question is a sign of disloyalty!

    Isn't this how most people get caught? You say something in general then the accuser defends themselves. If he's not a pedo then release the files

    I mean if you're constantly being accused of something you're sure of is false it's understandable you get ticked off if journalists keep throwing it in your face.

    That being said, his response was completely out of line and I agree very telling. You'll notice everytime the guy is pushed into a corner he'll start attacking anyone in his vicinity. He always tries to discredit while himself spouting the most wacko unsupported claims.

    How anyone can listen to the guy for more than 5 minutes and still think he's capable of running a country is beyond me.

    Not only a pedophile. He’s also a rapist of children.

    The Epstein Files aside, I have long ago stopped being surprised at the level of depravity he will stoop to. No matter how outlandish something is, he will surpass it, every time.

    So when they start talking about dead babies and such, my Critical Thinking Skills no longer say "That's too crazy to believe," they say "Well, he's turned out to be guilty of every other outlandish thing that he's been accused of, so why shouldn't we believe this?"

    And don't forget all his other crimes. War crimes, crimes against humanity, white collar crimes, extortion, corruption, etc.

    That is white collar crime if I'm correct. And it's not "probably" but "certainly". Kushner, some of his sons and himself have bought and sold stocks right before he publically announced something which buffed or tanked the value, then to sell or buy again before publically changing his mind on the subject normalizing the stock prices again. This isn't hidden, this is publically available data but he got immunity from the supreme court and he will pardon anyone else.

    Nixon: “I am not a crook!”

    Was a crook, after all.

    trump: “I am not a pedophile!”

    …multiple, repeated allegations and testimony.

    But they said he was several times.

    He never sued once ? Captain litigious can deny all he want but he hasn’t sued anyone who called him a pedophile.

    That’s weird

    If you're not a pedophile then remove all redactions of your name from the Trump/Epstein files and release them all. After all, the saying is "the Truth shall set you free" right?

    Geez, I wonder why would anyone want to kill such a nice old gentleman.

    such a nice old gentleman

    I honestly don't know if he said outright at any point that he went to kill trump...

    There was one person he explicitly wasn't targeting:

    “Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest,” Allen allegedly wrote, referring to FBI Director Kash Patel.

    No, just too delusional to accept that forcing a 14-year old girl to suck your weird mushroom dick is actually rape and pedophilia.

    I'm uncertain of the specifics, 14 may be shooting high idk.

    Just ask yourself what the Russians or mossad have on him? They must have something real juicey, that he is willing to sacrifice 1000's of lives to protect his reputation. Although, for most, his reputation is already disgusting and corrupt.

    I'm assuming it's very incriminating Epstein related videos. It seems plainly obvious that Epstein was running a honeypot for somebody, specifically to get blackmail on the rich and powerful. (At least, IMO)

    Like Patton Oswalt. A bunch of pedophiles went to see a movie he was in and he gets mentioned. So… he is technically in there.

    Mm. Medically a pedophile is someone attracted to prepubescent children. Usually due to underlying brain malfunction.

    What trump is is a child raping abuser who does it for the thrill and power.

    Well to him he’s not. These people don’t view girls who have started getting their period as a kid anymore. That’s their bar. Epstein told this to Virginia in her book. None of them think they did anything wrong.
