The first case against Epstein was “resolved” under the Bush Admin and the second, where Maxwell received her sentence, was under the Trump admin before being sealed by the courts until late 2023.
I think more importantly is that WE knew. We all knew. “TrafficKing: The Jeffrey Epstein Case” Book by Conchita Sarnoff we published in 2015, we knew all of this and the American public still elected this piece of shit Donald Trump, who we knew was his friend, president.
If we had a functional democracy, then the opposition party would have made Epstein a major figure in the presidential elections.
The Democratic Party had three opportunities - 2016, 2020, 2024 - when they should have been shouting “Epstein” from every podium, instead they brushed it under the rug.
The reality is we didn’t “all” know. Ask any random person on the street, they’ve never heard of TrafficKing or Julie K Brown or even Virginia Giuffre. It is easy to blame individual voters for their ignorance, but it makes much more sense to view this as an institutional failure.
Democratic politicians have this pathological need to be polite to their opponents, even as their opponents are calling them the worst criminals to ever occupy the White House. Instead of answering that charge, or countering with irrefutable FBI evidence of decades of raping children, they just ignore the whole thing, and “take the high road”…to defeat.
Indeed, instead they pretended he wasn’t running in four years, and when they did run against him, it was to court Republican voters (the majority of her campaign).
This was in spite of the well-known mathematical fact that an Independent issue must be campaigned on to win an election. Instead, they were “hoping” (officially) Rs would change their mind.
Can’t argue with the money they made to do this though, a billion dollars is a new record, especially when she just had a few months. It took Trump FOUR YEARS to raise 900 million or so, she did it in about four months. Amazing, unheard amounts of Super-PAC money made this happen, she did what she was paid to do.
This is all public information, they don’t even bother to hide it any longer, it’s now LEGAL (because as you know, corporations are people and money is free speech).

I have been an Unafilliated Independent since the day I first registered to vote in 1977. The Independent voting base is larger than either the Democratic or MAGA voting base. Literally EVERY single national political race in America is decided by the Independent voter.
Neither side can count on my vote. They have to earn it, every time.
I’d argue if you had a functioning democracy then the Dems wouldn’t have needed to do anything about this, much less need it as a campaign tactic. The criminals would go to jail and probably the conservative party would dissolve.

Yeah, if we want to have a functioning democracy, then we must dissolve the conservative parties that do not respond to the will of the voters.
This would mean dissolving both the Democratic and Republican parties.
Fine by me. Perhaps we should prohibit parties altogether.
sorry, israel comes first
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
If you’re not American you have known for a long time that this is America.
