People should be pressuring their own local representatives to make sure they ARE voting to release the Epstein Files.

So far in the past 24 hours, Trump’s team has:

  • Threatened GOP members with Truth posts
  • Placed threatening stories with friendly media outlets
  • Called over a dozen House Republicans for secret meetings

I’m sure they will escalate this before any votes happen, but let’s make sure this passes.

    And this person has told me from the start years and years ago that Jeffrey Epstein, in this person’s view, was not a pedophile. This is this person’s view, who was there for a lot of this, but that he was into the barely legal type. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls. And I realized this is disgusting. I’m definitely not trying to make an excuse for this. I’m just giving you facts, that he wasn’t into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby.

    15 years old is still illegal in most states (AFAIK), so not sure why she says “barely legal”. Also, of course there is a difference between 8 and 15, but trafficking in either is still creepy and disgusting as hell, and also both still very illegal. So I’m not sure why she’s even bringing it up.

    She does later say:

    Whatever. It’s sick. Every time we start talking about Epstein, it makes your skin crawl. You’re right. The whole thing is just disgusting.

    Well, she has that right.
