    They didn’t try to dodge shit. They just stalled until the FBI could sanitize and re-write them. The Epstein Files Saga will soon be over, and nothing will come of it.

      Yeah judging by their attitudes on it all the sudden, they got it all covered up and edited.

      On the bright side maybe we won’t be invading one of our southern neighbor countries as a distraction.

        Oh, there’s no chance we don’t go to war with Venezuela. Trump needs an excuse to cancel elections. The CIA already has boots on the ground. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/us/politics/trump-covert-action-venezuela.html

        It’s not actually legal for him to do so, but who’s going to stop him?

          Venezuela also has the largest oil reserves in the world.

      Multiple other governments have the files as well. Even if the copies about to be released are heavily edited there will be plenty of other copies that can refute them.

      Now, whether or not anyone will do so is another question.

          I picked that up from either Amanda Nelson (amandasmildtakes) or Under the Desk News. Can’t remember which one and I’m not able to search for a video right now. It was one released either last night or this morning.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
