      He wasn’t elected because he covered up his involvement with Epstein. People didn’t care then, they’re not going to care now, especially now that he’s buried the case legally and will never see a courtroom about it. People are not interested in a narrative that won’t go anywhere and most people have already moved on.

      Injustice sucks, it hurts. I know. But this is real and it’s happening and it’s a LOT of injustice and there may never be a satisfying resolution.

      Now that said, using our nation’s military to occupy and control the cities of political opponents is a much bigger immediate threat to everyone and everything we hold dear, THIS is the kind of action many of us were laughed at for warning people about, we were called over-reactive and accused of being unrealistically hyperbolic. And here we are, the administration is doing it and still nobody is getting up and marching on the capital. Do you think they’re going to get up and march about fucking Epstein?

      Donald Trump could rape a child on live TV during the morning news and nothing would happen. In fact his supporters would generate excuses saying she deserved it or something.

      Should they release the files?, yes.

      Is it going to do jack shit?, absolutely not.
