    You wouldn’t believe the shit he said on stage about the redactions, he said

    “I think it’s terrible, I like Bill Clinton… and I hate to see photos come out of him. I’ve always gotten along with Bill Clinton. I’ve been nice to him, he’s been nice to me. I hate to see photos come out of him, but this is what the Democrats, mostly Democrats and a couple of bad Republicans, are asking for. So they are giving photos of me too. Everybody was friendly with this guy [Epstein], either friendly or not friendly. He was all over Palm Beach and other places… and Bill Clinton was a friend of his, but everybody was. Photos released of Bill Clinton included one showing him in a pool with Ghislaine Maxwell. Bill Clinton’s a big boy. He can handle it, but you probably have pictures being exposed of other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago. This is a way of trying to deflect from the tremendous success that the Republican Party has.”

    So he claims that he’s innocent and that Democrats are guilty which is why he’s redacting all of the documents and withholding some entirely after every Democrat in congress ordered their release. Hell, even Bill Clinton is asking for their release.

    Honestly, though… What did you guys expect? To me it was very obvious since day 1 that if the files were released it’d be heavily redacted.

    I didn’t think it was going to be redacted to this comical degree, but I knew it would be redacted to the point of being useless.

      I didn’t expect a photo of trump to get released in the trove but here we are. They then went back and removed that single page after it was released.

        Then they told cbs news they removed it to protect the victims. The interviewer than asked the very logical question “was the girl in the picture with trump a victim?” Then suddenly the picture was back.

        Its very clear Trump will be redacted in every possible way. It just makes them all incredibly suspect and literally no one is buying it.

      Zero expectations but they have helped form an actual focus point to organize around. Redacted or not they’re a rallying point.

    I thought it was a joke. It was not. How can people let that shit fly, when their constitution says that they can “legally “ do something about it, is astounding. For a country that has the highest amount of armed citizens, its very surprising.

      They use “protect us against tyranny” as an excuse for their gun fetish and masculinity issues. That’s the purpose of the guns. They’re not overpowering any tyrant.

      These people accept the highest military spending in the world, what are a bunch of McDonald’s addicted though guys with sunglasses and glocks going to do against a tank?

      what do you want us to do? go out and start killing people because they’re corrupt pieces of shit?

      it would feel really good to take out the trash, but the repercussions of it would likely cause way more chaos long term.

      there is a responsibility that comes with gun ownership.

          You implied that gun owners should do something about corrupt politicians. There’s only one thing that guns are used for. Hardly a surprising interpretation.

      Well, they released less than 1% of the files that are required by law to be released, and heavily redacted the ones they did release. So yeah, basically all of it.

      And then they also released previously public pictures of people like Clinton and Micheal Jackson with their own children, but with the kids blacked out so that it looks like they’re with victims.

      Not that Clinton or Jackson are innocent, but the manipulation of the images is blatantly politically motivated.
