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.
So many of you in the comments are subject to exactly what the article describes:
“Part of the problem with the stories of Epstein, Trump, and the corruption all come down to the same thing: The bit-by-bit release of information has created a long record of abhorrent behavior, which means that the bar to shock is so high it’s almost impossible to clear. There is a kind of disgust fatigue at play: Yeah, we know Epstein was a disgusting sex predator, and that some of the men around him probably partook too; what’s new? Those who are ideologically motivated to believe Trump at all costs are also probably motivated to believe him on Epstein too; very little seems like it would change the minds of hardcore MAGA adherents.”
They said they worked to “flood the zone with shit” and you are all spewing it today. Calm down with the surprise memes. Sit in the hard feelings, shut up or do something about it
We Finally Know Why Trump Has Tried So Hard to Hide the Epstein Files
It wasn’t because he’s in them 30,000 times? I thought it was because he was in them 30,000 times, and also an adjudicated rapist. There’s other reasons they don’t want to talk about him being a proven racist? Weird.
its who else is in the files that are not named, thats whats hes hiding.
I’m so glad this is in the news again. The MSM hasn’t been doing enough of this!
Agreed. Anything to push dumb fuck swing voters away from fascism
I’m hoping more tiktok trends about reading books gets to them and they get a bit smarter. Its truly my hope.
US culture revolves around the thrill of gossip. It’s not about the thing itself. It’s about high stakes drama.
It’s like the Mythbusters gif where the truck never hits the bollard.
I think the allure of gossip is more applicable to general human nature than US culture in particular
Yea. Spill the tea!! My bestie went on holiday to Spain for her bday alone and I told her it was a bad idea. She has been calling me daily to tell me how lonely she is.
Because that has historically worked out well.
Let’s release it too late to have an impact so we can say we did it and not piss off AIPAC
Plus, it’s not like fox news is going to cover this beyond parroting the party line.
Um…we all pretty much got it…like years ago…decades even
Dems were just waiting for the news to have maximal political impact when they announce their conclusion. Right before the midterms hopefully moves some voters and also sets them up to impeach if they win.
You mean impeach the president who had already been impeached?
Yeah… if Republicans lose the midterms, Trump is a lame duck and some Republicans might be ready to break ranks. It’s a long shot, but it’s a chance. Either way, making the conversation in the media about Trump’s Epstein rapes is a good way to control the narrative up to 2028. Whoever the Republican candidates are will be trying to distance themselves from him.
Maximal political impact would be to convict him in court fair and square and when he refuses to show up to his sentencing, bring the firing squad to him.
This was known after the FBI investigated in 2006. Alexander Acosta, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida made a deal with Epstein in 2007 to bury it. This was under Bush. Since then Acosta has gone on to work in the Trump administration. Whatever happens to Trump, Acosta needs to be brought up on charges for using his office to let a mass pedophile ring off the hook. Someone needs to look at his decision making and then try him and put him in prison where he belongs. We’ve known all about Epstein for 20 years now and very little has been done. But now theres a long list of co-conspirators and they need to be prosecuted.
It’s been pointed out elsewhere, but it wasn’t his decision unilaterally. AG would have had to sign off. So, both of them, at minimum.
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.
and so do his voters
@badfaithact
Hmm
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.They know, some enabled, and a lot of them, while not involved in the island, did some diddling themselves
Exactly
Didn’t we already know all this?
Democrats are a bit like Internet Explorer. Slow, painfully behind, only listening to the people’s demands when a court orders it to, constantly forcing itself on you when you don’t want it, and sometimes it’s all you got.
you forget one - owned by corporate interests
Aww and it was so obvious too
We absolutely did.
I guess it depends on how you define we in that sentence. If you mean you and I yeah we knew that. If you mean the public as a whole? No unfortunately not. Lot of them are not paying attention.
That’s why you have to keep saying it over and over and over again. Keep writing the stories. Keep up the investigation. Put it on the news every single night. You can’t rely on something being said once and reaching the General Public. It takes a lot to reach them. You got to pound it into their brains until they know it in their bones.
I have been to comedy shows where they make jokes about trump fucking his daughter. Its not like no one has heard of it.
Well yeah, and we also know there’s been no consequences.

EUREKA! What an EPIPHANY! We finally know after all this time. Can you believe it?
Right before the election - how shocking and what a coincidence. Something something definition of insanity
Finally? This has been know for years, wtf???
What’s nice about this report is that it puts the slow drip of info over the years together one place, all connected.
Yeah as soon as I saw the photo I said that’s old hat lol
known*
bloodbath
Weird phrase to use describing losing two senate seats at worst to the other faction of the uniparty while retaining majority.
