    Ain’t no-one more politically exposed than one Donald J Trump.
    So, probably, and as far as we know,
    Ain’t no-one more redacted in the Epstein Files than that Donald J Trump.

    I’d put the word president in front of his surname, but he’s not worthy of the honour, and he’s not worthy of the presidency.

    I didn’t think there was anyone in the world who could make George W Bush look statesmanlike, well-informed, wise, responsible and honest. I was wrong.

    This is such a crazy timeline. Everyone knows our president is an ephebophile (pedo into teens). He has flat out stated it. No one is unaware of this fact anymore.

    And yet we live in a system where good people are being deported or tortured in prison camps. We can’t have government that actually works because our laws are so fucked up that good people get hurt while we all know a pedo rapist is running the country.

      It’s time we realize as a species that this world is ran by pure evil. We need to begin responding differently. I don’t know what that means, but even after a revolution there are still charismatic psychos that come along and fuck shit up again. People are just too dumb and fall for it over and over and over. How many times does this process need to be repeated before we evolve as a species?

        It is that damn moral highground the left wants to stick to. They will shoot themselves in the foot over and over and while bleeding out ask “what could we have done?”

        There no longer is a slippery slope. Outlaw the shit republicans do and lock them the hell up. Cuz you know what, they are tryinging their hardest to do the same.

            honestly i don’t know if humans can.

            when you look at stories of (semi)utopian societies there is this drive in nearly all people to be good to a fault. people want to work and learn and do things for the betterment of society. real humans will find a way to be shitty no matter how good they are.

            i think the only way to get things to work is to define a good but rigid stance on all thing shitty. shame the fuck out of stupid religous and political views. anti science and anti facts should cause your voice to be silenced. this wave of stupidity and hate needs to be treated like cancer.

    And what are you going to do about it? Until bullets start flying in large numbers nothing will change.

    This is a big surprise. I’m sure it was a mistake and they meant to redact something damaging in a different document.

      He will do nothing! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! The judges in the Untied States are like the parents who say they’re going to count to three, and the Trump administration are the kids who have figured out that nothing happens when they get to three.

        At the end of the day, the folks who actually enforce rulings are beholden to Trump and his cronies, so they kind of can’t enforce shit

          Judges can deputize people to carry out their rulings if need be. So that’s not strictly true.

          If only there were a way to separate the judicial and executive branch… why didn’t the founding fathers think of that?!

    Did anyone really expect them to release documents that implicated republicans or their puppeteers? These assholes are blatantly corrupt. As long as they are the gatekeepers, nothing can be trusted.

    They were never, ever going to release the files with Trump in them or anyone Trump adjacent.

      At least we know without a shadow of a doubt the dumb pedophile rapist piece of shit is unmistakably in those files… this completely seals the deal. Legally nothing will be done but, yeah… the childfucking piece of shit is DEFINITELY in those files. For sure. No doubt. Undoubtedly. No contest. The President of the United States of America is a disgusting pedophile rapist piece of shit.

      Just look at him… ugh! [shudder]

    I think I love Trump and his government purely because they are so blatant at corruption, they expose all of those before them and will surely make everyone question those that follow.

    If not… Then I guess that’s it.

    If there is an option for Americans to disrupt the republican - democrat party swap, then please, please disrupt the hell out of it in the next election.

    The whole point of releasing these files is to make them politically exposed. It’s literally the exact thing we want.

    Hopefully their windows are exposed, too.
