We, the people, want the Epstein files released regardless of who is in them. Deviance and perversion do not recognize political party. To make child sexual abuse a political weapon says one thing. The one whose name is all over it is guilty as sin and he will do and say anything to stay out of prison. The whole hoax thing is a weak attempt to say that Epstein kept false records….something the asshat knows all about. Impeach the lying p.o.s. Then send him to The Hague for the Caribbean attacks. Sorry, my patience is wearing thin. Have a nice weekend.

I will never forget those smiling idiots waving the Epstein binders around as though they were Christmas presents. Now they are no longer smiling, since there was nothing there they could cash in on.

I had the exact same reaction to the photo attached to the piece of those MAGAt lemmings holding up faux Epstein documents neatly presented in 3-ring binders and smiling like Cheshire cats (with apologies to Cheshire cats). At the end, Justin crystallized the entire affair to a single thought: "Trump and the Republicans are lying." No surprise there!!

That billboard at the head of the post didn't need to be in Times Square. Yeah, it'll get media attention there, but the MAGA don't watch or read those media, and I don't know how many MAGA would be in Times Square to read it. Billboards like that need to be in MAGA's home towns, where the MAGA will see it every day on their way to work, the grocery store, on their way to Rural King or Walmart, and remind them every freaking day that the bastard they voted for enabled, if not participated in, pedophilia.

I think it is ironic that across the pond, another sleezebag politician is getting his evil past unmasked. I refer to the racist architect of BREXIT, Nigel Farage. Brexiters, like MAGAs, continue to ignore that leaving the EU wrecked their economy just so they could keep out more "Pakis" and other racial and ethnic minorities. Now they are an island unto themselves, trying to make the economic miracle of BREXIT at least seem real. Like the Trump emails and, of course, the "grab em by the p-ssy" recording, it is almost certain that Trump's Epstein era will be sleezy.

The real question is, will release of those Epstein files cause MAGAs to grow a moral spine? Would they risk their careers as well-paid sychophants to impeach? Or do they want to hunker down for 3 more years under the rule of a demented fascist as their investment portfolios tank.

For some reason the story fails to note why Biden didn’t release the files. He couldn’t for legal reasons, not because any Democrats might have been in them.

That Trump’s manipulation of the legal system - his “order” to prosecute political enemies notwithstanding as well as Bondi’s compliance with her “boss” - are so blatantly illegal in and to themselves isn’t surprising. Nor are the ongoing lies coming from the mouths of toadies whose allegiance to Trump and themselves overshadows what should be their following the Constitution and the laws of our land.

No problem! Don’t need to put the toothpaste back in the tube … we can’t afford such luxuries.

Why is there nothing about the tapes that Putin most likely has of Trump's visits to Russia? Besides billion dollar deals, what else does Putin hold over our Great Menace?
