    more important

    Idk if the Epstein files are more important than the Venezuela invasion, literally. But I think it’s more foundationally important.

    What I mean by this is that the Epstein files show definitively that trump is a criminal with evidence of child rape and whatever other financial crimes. This means he is an illegitimately elected president, should never have been allowed to assume office legally and should be in prison. The evidence is in the Epstein files.

    If this is true, which it is, the decisions he’s been making, including Venezuela should never have happened.

    By law the Epstein files were supposed to be released, and they haven’t been. The DOJ and trump are hiding the evidence. Rule of law and our DOJ aren’t working as designed.

    Personally I think the Epstein fiasco is still the most important as it means trump shouldn’t even be here doing all this stuff right now.

      The Pam Bondi bribery scandal should have been enough to make both ineligible for office even before his first term.

      However, it seems the lesson US society collectively learned from Watergate is that the executive should be immune from prosecution.

      He is here though and we all knew before that he’s a criminal. The Epstein files won’t bring him to justice. So they don’t really matter, do they?

        Nope that is the dumb thing people keep screaming Epstein files but nothing we’ll come of it. He’s rich and rich people don’t suffer consequence unless they need a fall guy.

        That’s the thing. We already knew he was a womanizer, pedophile, rapist. Maybe taking about something new will make the right finally snap out of it because they don’t care about the fore mentioned things

          Lmfao.

          It’s something like 39%, that 39%(I don’t remember the exact number) of support is a literal cult that NEVER stops supporting him. That’s his absolute floor. He has never gone below that level of support and never will. There were people actively questioning if being a pedophile was really all that bad just to defend him. Megan Kelly literally defended him saying “at least they weren’t like 8, they were barely legal.” Those people would accept any rational Fox news gave them as to why trump needed to kill their own family members and take their property away leaving them homeless. They’d blame themselves.

          It fucking disgusts me and leaves me feeling completely hopeless…

      Trump being a criminal pedo was coming knowledge and it didn’t stop him from getting elected because Americans are too fucking stupid to know any better.
