    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.

      Wouldn’t even need a pen, it would just require complying with the law.

      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.

        I’ll tell you what: that they are being defeated, charged and punished, and that they see nowhere they can run. Until then, it’s all bullshit.

        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.
