    haven’t you heard the new talking points from russia? releasing the files literally would force the US Gov. to open a publishing house, and print and distribute millions of copies of child sex abuse images quarterly!! Clutch your pearls!!!

        They come out naked to the world. Like some kind of sick fucks wanting to be fucked.

        Newborns should plop out directly into an onsie.

        And every hospital should have a room with alcohol in it. So good fathers can be drunk and absent from the get go. And not look at them nekid dei infants.

        If the delivery takes too long, the mother is bound by law to be slapped around for AT LEAST 5 min.

        But no longer than 1h. We are not monsters. We dont want the father to sober up.

    The kids being held in ICE facilities are the US president’s fuck dolls. Not only is he a failed businessman, rapist and conman, but he’s also a child molester! What a wonderful representation of America!

    If you can’t get it out legally, just do it illegally. What are they going to do, kill the leaker? They are already killing people anyway so there’s no safety in waiting.

    This is disgusting and entirely predictable. The US has bipartisan consensus on pedophilia. Neither party will release the files because both parties are involved in raping children.

        We just finished 4 years of a Democrat in the White House and the files weren’t released under him either. As Bo Burnham sang:

        And every politician, every cop on the street
        Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite

          Because it was an active investigation. If they released the investigation files, it would have fucked over the court case to convict them. It wasn’t until recently that the Trump-controlled DoJ said “okay, we’re done. Nothing to see here.” Now that there’s no longer an investigation, there’s no longer a reason to withhold the files.

          And before you say that they deliberately took too long to avoid releasing them, remember that the Democrats believed they had time to finish the investigation properly, but Trump’s elections screwed that; and that when dealing with people with this much power, you need a case that is more than air tight, and that takes a lot of time given who is involved. Unless you believe the Democrats could have stalled though a second term (obviously Trump couldn’t).

          Oh, and if the Dems actually wanted to avoid this whole thing, they could have much more believably said “nope, nothing here,” but instead they chose to push forward.

          Did he mention “the files” ever? Campaign on releasing them?

          Why are you taking for granted that there is some material thing that exists and constitutes “the files”? How is it not just yet another thing MAGA fabricated and paraded around as a boogeyman?

            Dude when they raided epstien’s manhattan townhouse they had to cut into a safe that was filled with hard drives cds and thumb drives. All this digital media then conveniently disappeared from chain of command custody, but there were pinhole surveillance cameras and microphones in every room even the bathrooms and computer control room for the equipment in the basements of all his properties. A defacto list doesn’t exist but one can be extrapolated from the loads of digital media they found at his residence.

        Because the Democrats knew they didn’t have to vote to block since they’re not the one who promised to release it lol.

        Though there’s definitely less Democrats on there then Republicans

      But they spend so much time saying that’s not true. I love this for them. They had a chance to prove it’s “not true” and epically failed because it is so very very true. Now the masses are moving the goal post saying it never mattered anyways… Le sigh… Le boo…

      While pointing their fingers at everyone else. DO NOT let them forget this. Ever.

      WWMGT do? That’s what Dems should be doing right now. Except in this case, an insane reaction is the only sane response. Honestly fucking disgusting and somebody needs to be circulating an image with the name listed of every members that voted to not release those files.

      Edit: Gotta say Newsweek has been one of the most upfront and honest news outlets over the last few months when it comes to just reporting the information and headlines everyone else seems afraid to just come out and say.

      Full list of Republicans who blocked Epstein files vote

      Not just the GOP. Yes, the GOP is a shining example, but it’s more widespread than that.

      Conservatism involves having a power fantasy. You know what else is a power fantasy? Pedophilia. When you’re rich and can already dominate people financially and that’s not enough, what else but to dominate them physically?

    Wait, but I thought they didn’t exist! Remember how Trump said if those files got released it could destroy a lot of people?

    Trump only gives a shit about himself. He means that the information would destroy him

      I think in this case he gives a shit about a lot more people too. As we have seen with the murder of Epstein, there is powerful people who don’t shy away from murder involved. Furthermore there is reason to believe that the whole thing is an Israeli intelligence blackmail operation. If that is true, it would be an existential threat for all Zionist lobby organizations and individuals in the US and they would go completely ballistic on everyone and everything
