    If Bill was truly involved with all of this, I hope that as a last ditch effort, he drags everyone down with him. To have him called in front of Congress for him to just chirp off names and have it backfire on the GOP would be awesome.

      I hope all he does is talk about all the people he saw on that island, in detail.

    Of course, because right-wing conspiracy theorists are all in over Bill Gates, and they think he’s controlling the world through a shadow cabal.

    Any other high-profile people in the Epstein files that might be a better choice? Sitting Presidents, perhaps? Or even sleeping ones?

      You excuse a monster because they are attacked by other monsters. What does that make you? Not very fucking sharp.

      Bill gates is of the ruling class, regardless of how the dumbass rw reactionaries describe him. He’s a piece of fucking shit, a child raping one.

      I mean, they’ve killed more computing innovation than all other companies combined, so. That’s not nothing.

        Oh I’m not suggesting Gates is a good person. He just shouldn’t be testifying before certain other folks have.

          Gotcha. Yeah I’m sure he’s thinking he’ll get out in front of it. Somehow.

      Not just him, they don’t call anyone from the FBI “prominent names” list (of which he is #1).

      Donald wouldn’t think twice about lying, and this Congress would let him. If we can’t flip Congress in the midterms there’s no point to that farce.

      They should subpoena Noam Chomsky, to shame him and make him pay for his hypocrisy.

              Guess all is forgiven then. Actually maybe that means he can finally run for president

                I think the point is more that he’s not physically in a good enough state to give lengthy testimony.

      They can’t make him testify. I wish I could complete my thought here but legally I can’t.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
