Because there is nothing new there. Trump, a pedophile? I knew that already.
I agree with you, but I try not to be like this.
And that’s because me being blasé or nonchalant about it all is exactly what the fat orange child rapist wants.
That disgusting human shaped thing knows everyone knows about the rapes of children and women but can not change that, however what can be changed is our tiredness and ‘acceptance’ of it all.So now when I’m in the ‘hmmm, I know he’s a paedo’ mode I change it to ‘THAT FAT CUNT IS A FUCKING PAEDO. DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH!’ mode.
You’re right, but I guess I am always in the ‘THAT FAT CUNT IS A FUCKING PAEDO. DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH!’ mode, but that doesn’t mean that him being fat, a cunt or a PAEDO is news worthy for me.
For me, I want to see him on death row, and I want the names of all those who are on his team, then the names of all those who support his ideologies, then the names of those who need re-education. That’s the news I want.
I won’t click on anything that says “yet another person accuses orange cunt man of rape”. I’ve heard enough evidence, I want action now
“Flood the zone” is quite literally the most effective political strategy in the past 100 years.
None of the new allegations are surprising at all. Anyone with two eyes who saw that video of Trump and Epstein at that party knows exactly what was happening.
But let’s be real…what batshit crazy news could come out tomorrow that would really shock you? Right now, a few days before election day, we’re all expecting what, troops at the polls? Martial law? Another Jan. 6? Do you teally think the Trump ballroom or The Kennedy Center are real issues, or were they just looking for crazy shit to distract everyone? Lake America? Gulf of America?
Every day it’s just more on top of more. New Epstein allegations are just noise on top of the already existing noise at this point.
I don’t know how we can go back from this after how well “flood the zone” worked…
If you’re expecting justice from the government, or media I can only assume you haven’t been paying attention at all.
Justice will only come from the populace at this point. Get organized, be terrifying.
Because the actual House Judiciary Committee report debunks his lies in the middle of an election – and brings the receipts.
There are a lot of people even on Lemmy that are acting bored, “Why is this news?” and the like, but honestly anyone who is interested should read it for themselves: the REAL news is not in the headlines, or even in the articles that follow. The real news is in the redactions that have been uncovered in the report, what they hid, and the ability to view it as a whole instead of the usual media trickle truthing.
Every time someone posts a link, there’s at least one or two people going, “We already knew this!” No. What you knew were the broad strokes. See page 25, for example: everyone knows Katie Johnson sued him for rape and then withdrew her suit, but you missed that Trump and Epstein have been linked to each other by the FBI in the context of child rape for almost twenty years.
If you want the quick overview of what I personally have noticed so far, look at my post history. From the day it came out I have been throwing it out there. But honestly, just skim the report. Or even just the press release, which is a shittily formatted but fairly good synopsis.
And when you do read further, keep in mind that this House report was never intended to be a fully-argued prosecution: rather, it is a specific, and incredibly damning, rebuttal against the current DoJ claims that there is not enough evidence to investigate known facts further. DoJ insists that there is no further evidence, no reason to investigate any further because no investigations = no prosecutions. This report is the Dem answer to that. It lays that purpose out up front, it says that throughout, and it wraps up with that in the end.
For every single person who brays, “No one will investigate!” that’s just a lie. The MAGA Republicans currently in control of the US government refuse to investigate. This report is the Dem answer to that obvious lie. And they bring the proof.
No media article I have seen so far even got that little bit right. By design, I suspect.
That’s what we get for relying on the media. If you want to know why it’s news, read it yourself.
Also, you should know that Trump isn’t alone in this. Vladimir Putin has a known predilection for little boys: that is the suspected reason for the fact that a man fluent in German and rising in KGB ranks never got posted abroad but was kept home, and why his official records are full of strange lacunae. It’s not just Putin’s “statecraft” that makes Trump love him like a daddy. Let’s talk about that too.
In the US, it’s probably because most of the mainstream media is owned by conservatives.
Examples:
-
Rupert Murdoch owns Fox News, NY Post, and the Wall Street Journal.
-
CNN and CBS News (as weak as a number of other channels) are run by the Ellison family. There has been talk of making them sell CNN to someone else, but it hasn’t happened yet.
-
The Washington Post is owned by Amazon mogul, Jeff Bezos.
-
The Hill and NewsNation are owned by Nextstar (who also own the largest number of broadcast tv stations). Founded and run by Perry Sook.
What’s amusing is that for decades, conservatives have been howling about the “liberal media”.
It was absurd when you had about 3 major corporate networks and a cable station like CNN doing all of the gatekeeping, but maybe a bit of diversity among the various papers - but it was hard to really tell people about the absurdity of that without the internet.
But now it’s absolutely cartoonish to claim there is a “liberal media”. And yet the right still do it.
New York Times is probably one of the last papers with the resources and the tradition of at least doing something akin to reality-based reporting, but they love to play the both-sides game. To the right, though, they represent some far-left fringe, LOL.
“…and they control all the media you consume so they decide all news and information you get to hear:
THEY GOT YOU BY THE BALLS!
…
It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”
The House of Mouse isn’t conservative, but it tends to be complicit as fuck. Just go with the flow.

Because unfortunately, at this point “Trump is a skeezy rapist” is a dog bites man story. It doesn’t stand out.
👏 prose 👏
They are PAID to ignore that.
American news is just a bunch of millionaires daydreaming.
Why are they bothering us common folk? Don’t they have a buttload of money to count.
Honestly, right now Trump is going on a full on assault on democracy, he’s meddling with elections threatening to keep him and his den of jackals in power. I can see how even the horrific conspiracy and crimes against children he is part of takes a second seat to this, because if he gets his way, we lose the country, democracy, and any hope of holding these people to account.
Also the media is all bought up by them so also that.
Why do you think?!?
It’s not a mystery.
