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.
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. Otherwise they might do something stupid like vote for a 3rd party.
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
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?
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.
Ain’t no war like the class war
Think not Democrats with this mindset. It’s the ruling parties picking and choosing on when it’s most convenient for them, the ones who thought finally now it’s convenient for them to have their congressional pawn to “motion” to have now be the time.
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.
yes the entire democratic party held onto evidence the president is a pedophile right until ayyy logged into lemmy to get his morning chuckles
When did I say that? Be specific.

Wow it’s pretty incredible that you’re able to diagnose serious mental health issues from one internet comment. You should be volunteering at your local university hospital.
Also, are you from the past or something? I haven’t heard someone use “you’re neurodivergent” as an insult in decades.
wasnt an insult, it was an observation moron
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?
Edit: seems like your context window expired?
dear fediverse users: you are not the audience this headline is trying to reach.
But, but… Epstein didn’t kill himself
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.
There’s knowing it and there’s knowing it
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.
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.
he hasnt been not a pedophile
He could stand on 5th avenue and shoot someone.
Until they are all punished, this is pointless.
They can’t be punished (within the system, at least) as long as the president controls the DOJ and enough of congress supports pedorape.

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.
What?!?! Not Donald Juvenile-Fucker Trump?! There must be a mistake.
There already was a special counsel. He shut it down when he got elected again. Bcz presidents are special or something…
FiNaLlY
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.
ex-fucking-zaccly.
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
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.

the rapist’s child has to be carried out
Why would you share that as if it’s a serious comment?
The guy’s handle is literally BadFaithAct
@badfaithact
Hmm
Exactly
They know, some enabled, and a lot of them, while not involved in the island, did some diddling themselves
It’s a mix of that and their astounding ability to just ignore things or make themselves believe (and/or be convinced by others) It’s “fake news”.
It wouldn’t even matter if videos were released of Trump being in the act of pedophilia, once people like them have made up their minds about something there is nothing that can change that.
