Blames Hillary, Obama and Biden for the Epstein Files, which also don’t exist.

I love that he’s getting torched by his own.

    My guess, he’s got people typing out documents that say

    EPSTEIN FILES

    1. Hillary
    2. Obama
    3. DEFINITELY NOT TRUMP!!

    They’ll release it in a couple days.

    One of his followers did try to shoot him for it. Strange, the shooter’s reasons were not well publicized.

      Funny, but no.

      We are trapped in our own cultivated echo-chambers. You are a victim of the same cognitive control mechanisms as the right if you think there is at all a large enough wave of regret and “realization” going through the general conservative or even median voting population to effectively produce change.

      This is still not enough. If you want to understand why, spend a day watching FOX or even CNN or MSNBC. Right-wing news is already moving onto other bullshit topics like trade and trans athletes and immigration successes. The other networks are using this latest drama to squeeze the last traces of pus from the emotional pimple from a population that wants to read a feel-good, satisfying “We got 'em!” story so they can get back to their comfortable lives.

      The only way this will turn into anything with actual political action is if enough people actively serving in politics right now organize and use this to affect actual political decisions. Investigations, evidence, articles and coalitions. We were led to believe that the Democratic establishment was supposed to be doing this, as there really isn’t any other sizeable organization working in politics who can, but the sad truth is that most dems are just working as cover for the fact that the entire establishment, republican and democrat, has been bought or is actively being attacked and dragged out of the picture for not being bought. (See: Mamdani)

      You want this to mean something? Go get involved in your local political groups and work on getting rid of the foundation of this pyramid of slime that supports our congress and senate.

        Couldn’t agree more. The things I see online are completely different from what I see in real life.

        In real life, the vast majority of people aren’t paying attention to any of this drama at all. They have no idea what’s going on. (And if they do, they surely aren’t talking about it.) The Republican party is going to be fine, thanks to apathy.

    What’s going to happen when maga finds out that everything they were groomed to believe in is all about the very people they listened to, trusted in and destroyed for? I hope they redirect their anger to start pushing democrats to start doing their job and starts pushing out those who are not for the people. Hope this starts a productive team up of the people vs the corrupt, rich and powerful.

      That’s not Epstein list. It’s just book with a bunch of contacts. Some Epstein met, some Epstein wanted to meet.

      As per Snopes:

      Because according to Mr. Rodriguez’s statement in the affidavit, the book was compiled by employees of Mr. Epstein, not by Mr. Epstein himself. Those contacted for this article acknowledged having met Ghislaine Maxwell, Mr. Epstein’s former girlfriend and “lady of the house,” and posited perhaps that was how their names ended up in the book. (It is unclear from the affidavit whether Ms. Maxwell is one of the “employees.” Ms. Buck said that she had met Ms. Maxwell at a boutique opening but that “she never phoned me.”)

      The Integillience did a deep dive on the contacts in the book.

      Thank you. I’ve been wondering whether I had hallucinated this, since it sounds like many people have forgotten this exists.

      We saw this a full decade ago. It’s the contents of his ‘black book’, and trump is listed specifically under the ‘Island’ heading.

        It was released as evidence during Epstein’s pretrial hearings. Before he died.

        We already knew all this, he just died before he could testify as to the details of his notes.

        Anyone who can read and doesn’t have the memory of a goldfish knows that trump is an accomplice of epstein’s

      Much like everything else, he just needs to own it.

      If he put out a message saying “Women are peak when they’re 13 and Jeff was the only guy who really knew that RIP” and dropped the file at the same time he could skate…

      But he won’t say it because he’s spent years demonizing the Dems about the list while he’s on it. So since “the list” is bad and he’s on the list, it can’t come out, but since he’s in charge of releasing it and he has told his base to care they do. He could even say “I’m just on the list because Obama put me on there!” and he’d skate.

      I don’t get it, honestly, but there’s too many scenarios where he gets off fine. His friends just don’t want it to come out because they’re not him and they won’t get off free.

      It’s amazing how they are pro-pedophilia (due to their continued support and blindness towards all the real pedophiles around them) but screech about looking for pedophiles everywhere, or at least they were a few years ago! How can anyone trust these people when they support the thing they purport to loathe. When will this all blow up?

      Add in the criminality of Trump and Co, and these guys are looking in all the wrong places!

        Republicans have repeatedly tried to stop child marriage and mandatory reporting laws for decades now. It seems obvious at this point that the GOP is perfectly fine with kids getting raped as long as its one of their own doing the raping.

          And John Rose met his wife judging a 4H contest.

      A trump supporter I know, always brings up politics, which I avoid when talking to them.

      The past month or so, they have not brought it up at all. So, I think I’m starting to see it.

So yeah I think she is feeling guilty so I made sure to make it worse.

    I’m shocked they have lasted more than 2 days. Usually they have eaten and digested the absolute shit that trump talks and are on their knees begging for more by now, usually so they can own the libs. This is the first glimmer of integrity I’ve seen from them. Very weird.

      I’m not hoping much, but if at least a small percentage of them get swayed, it might be enough to lose him the next election. (I’m automatically assuming he will keep running for a third term. These people don’t stop unless they are stopped.)

    “It’s not even about Pam Bondi to me. It’s like, look, Trump, we elected you because you were supposed to be different,” said Sharon Allen, a 24-year-old attendee. “So you have to prove to us you’re different….you can fire her [Bondi], do whatever, but at the end of the day, Trump, you are president. We trusted you to get rid of these people and expose these people.”

    These dumbasses believe the lie of Trump so much that they’re shocked when he does exactly what the rest of us expected.

    99% of them are sooner to literally get on their knees and offer their mouth than ever speak against him.

    Trump supporters are what they are. They have no spine. They are cowards that fear everything but the things they understand and think they control. They are the dirt of the earth, meant to be tread on, elevated only by the worms that crawl from it and tell them fanciful stories of their pretensive grandeur.

    Better to be dead with your dignity than alive and in support of this man. The people shall take turns defecating on his grave when he’s gone… All of us, and all of those who call themselves his loyal followers.

    There are none truly loyal to men such as this.
