    I don’t think there could be anything that would boost his popularity more amongst the MAGA and GOP.

    This is just such a strange thing to have to process. Even if you ignore the horror of it, even if you are totally pro child rape….thats just a strange argument to ever have. Normal people don’t have that sort of argument in their entire lives.

    And yet we have normal people rationalizing this whole thing. I don’t understand.

    While the US Justice system does nothing. Like several have mentioned, one can read the court documents about Katie Johnson. Over 75 million sick fuck AmeriKans voted for a POS felon and pedo.

    “The Defendant, Donald J. Trump, was clearly heard referring to Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, as a ‘Jew B----rd’ as he yelled at Defendant Epstein, that clearly, he, Defendant Trump, should be the lucky one to ‘pop the cherry’ of Plaintiff Johnson.”

    That’s the headline. I mean, that’s what it should be.

    I can’t believe Americans (all institutions, and half of voters) are fine with this. This is fucked up.

      They just don’t think it’s true. Not making excuses for them or anything here. But they are not accepting this as fact and then saying “yeah I’m okay with that.”

      If you want to nail them for something it’s their head-in-the-sand approach to facts and evidence, not where they draw the line morally.

        80 million sick fucks as well as all the people registered to vote that refuse to all because they think that women shouldn’t be leaders… in addition to all the filthy scum who think that compromise is treason when in reality aiding nazi filth is treason. whether that aid is refusing to vote, voting for republikkkans, or wasting votes on independents who can’t even make a name let alone getting votes… it’s all aiding nazi filth.

          It shows how important christianity is to 2/3 of America— as in not at all. It’s why I can never take christian values seriously again because it’s obviously just another club with personal benefits for the people who join. Living the teachings of Christ is completely voluntary.

            living the values and teachings of old white men claiming they heard god speak and who want women and children to be sex slaves is not religion. is a control mechanism that has raped and butchered people for 2000 years, while convincing delusional nutjobs who can only act right under the threat of damnation, that they are good people.

            There is no hate quite like Christian love.

      Half of voters are not fine with this.

      Most think the same as you. Trump’s campaign promises were no war and releasing the Epstein files after Biden did absolutely nothing and sat on them for four years.

      We’ve been betrayed by bOtH pArTiEs over the last eight years (and before that, for that matter)… because they’re BoTh all over the Epstein files.

      We don’t have a “No Epstein” party in the USA, that is not allowed. We just have two corrupt shit parties.

      (I’m not making random claims, either. We do have some information, like flight logs. Democrats and Republicans found common ground somehow and fucking loved that plane and the young girls on it).

        I don’t disagree but it’s also worth saying that this has been out in the open for a while and completely but unconvincingly swept under the rug

        But the incident mentioned in the title happened years ago - they were on trial together for it back in 2007 (where Epstein negotiated a non-prosecution agreement for himself and all co-conspirators on the basis that he was a secret service asset). I first read about this during the first Trump presidency, just after Epstein got arrested for the last time.

        I was using the word “story” to mean the concept of recounting an event that happened, not as in “news story” or a specific publication. I meant that the “howling in envy” thing has been circulating online for years. I’m glad they’re publicizing it this close to the election, but it’s not at all new information.

      Projection from Republicans about being pedophiles. Seems like republicans are all pedophiles and closeted gay dudes.

      They are, check out available flight logs that were released some years ago, Democrats (and Republicans) were Lolita Express frequent flyers.

        Well, I’d wager that people prone to thinking it was going to be the Democrats like Obama and Podesta and Clinton and believing nonsense about adrenochrome were looking quite ridiculous already before being pushed onto the Qanon thing.

    These allegations are from many years ago, Democrats knew all of this when Biden was in office… but they waited to release their “explosive house report” until October days before midterms.

    So… they’ve sat on this at least six years. Good job, you revolting hacks.

    (this is not a defense of Republicans, who are also disgusting scum)

      There is really no excuse for anyone not already knowing all of this. Or, other things equally as bad or worse honestly.

      If people were rational and informed this sort of timed re-release of info would both not work, and not be necessary simultaneously.

      Yet, here we are.

      The corporate news media knew this prior to the 2016 election. Still nothing.

      Ten years later after an official Congressional report includes it, we get - radaronline.

      No one can bring any criminal charges against Trump, these news stories are aimed at trying to remind people about the blatant corruption and terrible acts he has performed trying to get people to not vote in representatives who will further support him.
