    I don’t care if it might be more tactically savvy for Democrats to talk about other issues.

    I mean its not. Its the redmeat his base has wanted for decades and its got him throwing bags of shit out a window. Just keep pushing and don’t stop.

      What “the base” wants is blood in the water. We missed that opportunity as soon as Biden handed the keys to the DOJ over, back in January.

      If Trump really does show up with “The List” (which isn’t really a list, but a compilation of various other documents that people keep pretending is a big binder called “Names of People Who Fucked Kids” that we’re going to get a copy of) and his name is emblazoned across it a thousand times… what happens next? Does Thomas Massie not vote on the next “Gut The EPA Act of 2025”? Will Trump’s next court nominee fail confirmation? Do we recall our Navy from the coast of Venezuela? Is the genocide in Gaza going to end? Is it finally Mueller Time?

      I’ve seen “Release the Epstein List!” in a thousand fundraising emails. I’ve heard it in speeches. I’ve got spam texts about it from Roganites and Third Way and Communist Party USA.

      Nobody seems to be doing anything else but this. Nothing appears to be improving.

      Just keep pushing and don’t stop.

      Pushing what? Don’t stop what?

      Are you writing your Congresscritters about this on the reg? Are you in contact with your state’s District Attorney? Did you show up at the Epstein Victims Rally, after shoving your way through all the National Guard and ICE goons patrolling DC?

      Or do you just mean “Don’t stop posting”?

    We all know he committed depraved sex crimes. We’ve heard the victims. I’d just like the third party evidence released because we humans would rather believe a little black book than a living, breathing person who was a child when he raped her.

      Serial rapists like him can easily have over a thousand victims since he hit puberty. That works out to slightly more than one new victim a month.

      He is in the process of harming and killing so many orders of magnitude more people by both his direct and indirect actions.

      He is a rapist - probably still hurting people that way now; a thug and a murderer.

      People are concerned about his previous victims; and many more Americans are going to die or be hurt from him in the next three years. Including perhaps some reading this.

        Well fucking said.

        I agree that they should release the files. However, not everything is a distraction from that like people on this site seem to believe.

        In many cases, the exact opposite is true.

      I’m not sure it even matters because anyone who isn’t his supporter already knows and anyone who IS probably believes in alternative facts instead.

    You’re crazy, but not because you want to know this stuff. Anyone in their right mind should want to know (and a few of us crazies want to know too).

    Sadly, we know things like this have already proven to be true.

    Donald Trump is a rapist.

    Getting more information on it, would only serve to prove how much he’s committed these acts. Nothing more.

    At this point, I’m not sure if he’s not guilty of anything, really. Every time I turn around there seems to be evidence, a conviction, or at least a strong probability that the cheeto has broken some law. I think it would be better just to make a bingo card from the laws we don’t know that he’s broken, so when it comes to light that he did, indeed break those laws, we can have a little fun yelling “bingo!” As our cards fill up.

      I’d be a little surprised if he’s personally committed any murders; I’d be shocked if he hasn’t ordered any committed

        Donald Trump is a high functioning psychopath. People like him drive others to suicide and order lesser idiots to do the killing for him, and usually in an indirect manner to avoid any direct culpability.

        So is he responsible for some classic old fashion murder? Yes, but did he actually kill anyone with his own hands? I doubt it.

          Bingo. I doubt he’s personally pulled the trigger because I doubt he wants to get his hands dirty; he has people for that

    Of course he did. The ones he’s been found guilty of at least. But with how much he doesn’t want the files out there’s definitely some extra ones in there.

    We’ve answered this question. The answer is yes. The follow on question “does America care”, appears to be a resounding “nope”.

      “Care” is a spectrum. Taken as an aggregate, I’d say America is somewhere above, “frowny face” and somewhere below “getting shot to death by the National Guard while vainly storming the White House.”

        It turns out storming the white house doesn’t seem to even actually do anything.

      Subjectively i have little doubt this is true. And my faith for legal institutions to do what is right is rather low.

      That said, has it been legally proven in court that he raped (a child)?

      I dont need evidence for me, i need it for when i talk to other people and they ask about such evidence. Regardless of how obvious it is the norm remains innocent till proven guilty.

          Were in agreement about that.

          Not sure whar your point is, unless your saying you will take him to jail personally and don’t require the rest of idiocratic society to do so. Good luck.

        He was going to be, before his 14yo accuser was forced to withdrawal her accusation after her and her family received a deluge of death and rape threats from Trump supporters.

        Trump appreciates it. It reinforces his witch hunt narrative while absolutely nothing is going to be done about it. In the mean time, Trump can continue taking a steaming shit all over the constitution because everyone is distracted with the fact that he’s sex offender.

    i mean we know he did it. we’ve seen the evidence and testimony. this fascist won’t fall because of these charges; he’s already a convicted felon and has been impeached before…

    and sadly thanks to modern american marketing an distraction, this won’t inspire revolution either. :(

    this is just distraction from the fact that he’s still supporting a fucking genocide.

    We know he did. I want to know all of them. And then I want to see the Americans do absolutely nothing about it because that will just be the starkest on its face proof of the reality of that lazy ass do nothing culture. It will shatter all of that countries veil of moral superiority over the rest of the world.

      It will shatter nothing. More kids have been shot in schools than ever visited the island, and thoughts and prayers is the only answer. If literally dead kids don’t prove anything, neither will a list of names. It will be called a hoax, a witch hunt, and quickly forgotten.
