    I fear “release the Epstein files” is becoming a catchphrase people repeat without thinking about it anymore. We need to occasionally remind people that “Release the Epstein files” is shorthand for “There’s ample evidence the President of the United States is a pedophile and accomplice to child sex trafficking, and he’s using the power of his office to hide evidence that could either exonerate or further incriminate him. Even if it exonerates him, he’s still using his office to protect pedophiles.”

        It’s a practicality thing. We need to keep talking about both, because parts of his base don’t care if he advances fascism, but would stop supporting him over being a pedo. Whatever weakens him and his ilk.

            It’s never a question of the entire group. It’s a question of SOME of the group. Would some of them stop supporting him if more evidence of him being a pedophile came out? Yes.

    In german it’s much easier because ‘aceta’ sounds like ‘aceta’ and ‘minophen’ sounds like ‘minophen’

      See, in America, ‘aceta’ is pronounced ‘gives you’ and ‘minophen’ is pronounced ‘autism’ - so it’s actually quite easy to see how the conclusion was drawn.

      /s, because society is actually this dumb now sometimes

        Most Germanic-derived words in German are either shorter than that or they are compound words, which English has as well, just with spaces. Latin-derived words in German aren’t much longer than Latin-derived words in English.
