    There was a press conference with the victims, and they said they would be putting together their own list, since they know exactly who was involved.

    However, they didn’t clarify whether that list would be made public. I think it needs to be made public.

    If they’re irrelevant then why not release them?

    What’s the harm, they’re irrelevant, right?

      I don’t think he needs to be a distant memory. He needs to be held up for generations as the epitome of all that is wrong with the world.

      We need regular societal level analysis of why we should avoid letting things get to a point where another Trump like figure emerges and investigation in how best to deal with it when it does.

      Also “Don” or “Trump” should be made a synonym for explosive diarreah.

        The 2030s and 2040s are looking pretty bleak with climate change impacts.

        I don’t think we’ll all be congratulating ourselves on how great things are going without Trump.

        I think we’re on a pretty bleak trajectory, and Trumpism is a manifestation of society’s anxiety around that. Poor uneducated idiots want to pretend it’s not happening, and wealthy fucks want to implement a slave class to live in the wasteland and produce soylent

        You’re both right. This shit needs to be remembered by history as a lesson, but I also deeply look forward to it no longer being current events.

        I cannot wait for the first time, after his inevitable passing, that I go a full week without hearing his name or seeing his stupid fucking sphincter looking face. Not forgotten, just not a constant goddamn onslaught.

          but I also deeply look forward to it no longer being current events.

          There was a brief time, prior to the election in 2024, that I truly thought that I might not ever need to read or hear about this piece of shit ever again (I’m sure he’d still do stupid shit in the news, but I won’t have to read it to stay abreast).

          I miss that feeling.

        I totally agree with the sentiment of your reply. I just mean, I want him in the past, because he makes the present a daily dread-fest.

    "I know I massively ran my campaign on these files, and naming the paedos, but they are now irrelevant because I’m in power, suckers. And I will be until I die, whether that’s in a few years or a decade or so, SUCKERS.
    But the main reason they are irrelevant is because I’m in them there files due to all my kiddie fiddling I did with my convicted child rapist best mate, Jeffery. Lol, all you had to do was believe ⅒th of the accusations and you’d see what sort of person I am, and the reign of terror I wrought on these kiddies, and women. But you didn’t want to do that, SUCKERS.

    You voted -or protest voted, or chose to not vote at all- for this.

    THANK YOU FOR HAVING NO ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER!"

    He will never give up trying to discredit all of it. That all he knows how to do. No honor, no ethics, no humility in any way

    It’s like asking a criminal of they are a criminal. Oh yeah, it was totally me. I for sure certainly did it! Ask the victims, and the masses how they feel about it, not the fucking perp.

    He’s right, unfortunately. The people that do care don’t have the stones to do anything about it even if his name is on every single page. The other side is so devoted to this cum dumpster that they will cheer about the fact that his name is on every single page.
