    The whole point of releasing these files is to make them politically exposed. It’s literally the exact thing we want.

    Hopefully their windows are exposed, too.

    No record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.

    This is such a crazy timeline. Everyone knows our president is an ephebophile (pedo into teens). He has flat out stated it. No one is unaware of this fact anymore.

    And yet we live in a system where good people are being deported or tortured in prison camps. We can’t have government that actually works because our laws are so fucked up that good people get hurt while we all know a pedo rapist is running the country.

      It’s time we realize as a species that this world is ran by pure evil. We need to begin responding differently. I don’t know what that means, but even after a revolution there are still charismatic psychos that come along and fuck shit up again. People are just too dumb and fall for it over and over and over. How many times does this process need to be repeated before we evolve as a species?

        It is that damn moral highground the left wants to stick to. They will shoot themselves in the foot over and over and while bleeding out ask “what could we have done?”

        There no longer is a slippery slope. Outlaw the shit republicans do and lock them the hell up. Cuz you know what, they are tryinging their hardest to do the same.

            honestly i don’t know if humans can.

            when you look at stories of (semi)utopian societies there is this drive in nearly all people to be good to a fault. people want to work and learn and do things for the betterment of society. real humans will find a way to be shitty no matter how good they are.

            i think the only way to get things to work is to define a good but rigid stance on all thing shitty. shame the fuck out of stupid religous and political views. anti science and anti facts should cause your voice to be silenced. this wave of stupidity and hate needs to be treated like cancer.

    Motherfucker Trump. He’s so obviously implicated and covering. The very thing all those Magat’s claim to fight against: he’s that.

    I think I love Trump and his government purely because they are so blatant at corruption, they expose all of those before them and will surely make everyone question those that follow.

    If not… Then I guess that’s it.

    If there is an option for Americans to disrupt the republican - democrat party swap, then please, please disrupt the hell out of it in the next election.

    No they didn’t. They redacted the names of Trump, his allies, and people who bribed him.

    The media needs to say what’s actually going on, not just feed us bullshit Trump says.

    This is a big surprise. I’m sure it was a mistake and they meant to redact something damaging in a different document.

    Ain’t no-one more politically exposed than one Donald J Trump.
    So, probably, and as far as we know,
    Ain’t no-one more redacted in the Epstein Files than that Donald J Trump.

    I’d put the word president in front of his surname, but he’s not worthy of the honour, and he’s not worthy of the presidency.

    I didn’t think there was anyone in the world who could make George W Bush look statesmanlike, well-informed, wise, responsible and honest. I was wrong.
