      Right? Headline should really read “Trump admits Epstein list is real, defends some of the people on it.”

      Few weeks back the GOP led house oversight committee voted to subpoena the Epstein files. DNC members won the vote with GOP members who had publicly demanded the files release. The POS GOP chairman tried his slimiest to ignore the rest of the committe but was eventually brow beaten into submission -like the pathetic worm he is.

      This week they received the first batch of files and are reviewing them.

        Thanks for the synopsis, my fellow lemming.

        I wonder if them knowing the list of names makes this less likely to come out. If they see some big donor on there, it could be they start pretending there isn’t a list, too.

      They appear file-like.

      It’s a matter of interpretation.

      I was helping at a restaurant when I asked “What does C.C. mean on this order?”

      The waitress said, “Coca-Cola.”

      The hostess said, “Credit Card.”

      The cook said, “Chocolate cake.”

      The bartender said, Canadian Club."

      The accountant said, “Carbon Copy.”

      I always thought it meant cubic centimeters.

    That didn’t happen.

    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

    And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

    And if it is, that’s not my fault.

    And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

    And if I did, you deserved it.

    His statement mixes lines 1 and 4 in the poem.

    Is MAGA buying this?

    I mean, I’m sure plenty are, but what about the ones who were up in arms a few weeks ago when he said the files wouldn’t be released? Have they all shut up and gotten back in the clown car?

      They’ve been manipulated and have allowed it to be made a part of their core identity - so yes, from sunk cost fallacy, to stockholm syndrome, to abusive relationship, to personality cult, to just plain ignorance and proud of it, profiled by Big Data and fed and cordoned off to their particular slaughterhouse of a social network bubble, they will be increasingly easy to manipulate the more distance there is between reality and their perception of it.

      Other communities are temp banning you until you find a new schtick.

    Bill Clinton was on his plane and went to the island supposedly 28 times. I don’t want to bring that up frankly,” Trump said while bringing it up.

    Ok, that is just top notch comedic journalism.

      “Wait, no, no list. Well there is an Epstein list but it’s a hoax list. A huge tremendous hoax by the crooked evil Demogorgons. No, the democrats.
      I watched stranger things.
      My uncle, who was a script writer at Yale, great guy, best scripts, he said the strangest thing was to trust anything that a democrat would say.
      No hoax, no Epstein. No list. There is a hoax. Fake news. MAGA. Thank you for your attention to this muttered!!”

    Does anyone on this entire planet actually, truly believe this guy isn’t a pedophile that raped kids?

    Like, we all know. Shut the fuck up, Trump. Even your own base knows, and some of them are mad about it (the rest are cowards, or perhaps pedophiles themselves.)

    people are in Epstein files who ‘don’t deserve to be’: ‘It’s a Democratic hoax’

    You don’t need to be a detective to read between those lines: the Epstein files are fucking STUFFED with republicans and the type of human trash Trump associates with.

    We all know the list is bipartisan, but this tell me they’re worried about the ratio.

    …if only we had a criminal justice system.

    so trump just admitted he was there and knew everything? Because the only way to know who isnt in the epstein files, is to know who DO deserve to be in the Epstein Files, because trump witnessed, saw and knew everything that happened on Epstein island apparently and even took part in it probably, why else would he not turn to the police with that knowledge tf

    Telling his MAGAt morons that he’s on the list and they should just get over it…

    I mean haven’t they decided that maybe 14 years old is ok?
