    And the government knew about it. There isn’t just an issue with a pedophile running the country, the whole government is rigged as fuck

    It continues to baffle and disappoint me each day that EVERYONE isn’t demanding the Truth, no matter what it shows. Why that isn’t a red flag to every single American is sad.

      There will be hard evidence shoved directly in people’s faces that say 100% outright exactly what happened. They will still claim it’s a hoax.

      It’s part of American values. Part of patriarchy. Churches always hid sexual crimes. What happened isn’t anything different, so their reaction is the same - make excuses and shrug.

    No one fucking cares!!!

    The only people who can do anything about it are the ones DOING it!

    Either those files have completely been sanitized by now or the whole world will know about all the pedophiles and nothing will happen to them.

      normally I’d agree, but they really shot themselves in the face this time - conservatives have been bleating about them files for so long they can’t let go now. and I suspect there’s lots of other revealing shit:

      IE: Goldman Sachs and others flagging transactions from Epstein (nearly a billion!) as potential fraud but processing them anyway, for years.

      And now that thousands of FBI agents had to comb through that shit, i wouldn’t be surprised if there are further leaks of unredacted materials, pics, video etc.

      The distractions have been working like a well oiled machine. This whole Epstein thing is their finest work yet.

      The secret police are disappearing people. The government is shut down. All anyone cares about is something right now completely inconsequential for aforementioned reason.

    Epstein asked Wolff what he thought an ideal response from Trump would be. “I think you should let him hang himself,” Wolff responded.

    And the ironic statement of the decade award goes to …

    Gentlemen. We got 'em.

    Now to just put our feet up, kick back and watch all the sweet, sweet consequence unfold. I’m sure we’ll finally all get to see justice and law prevail. Surely this time.

    The MAGAts are denying this, too. They deny everything. Nothing will change their mind. Ever.

    I love the republican response. They are cherry picking discolosures to make him look bad. Well then realease it all and save face.
