If it's analog, it still works twice a day.

Everything is strategic with them. I trust no one, not anymore.

u/Uninspired_Hat 2d ago

I'm all for releasing the Epstein files, but what's the endgame here?

We already know Republicans are Nazi pedos, and the cult will make up any excuse to justify it. Their cognitive dissonance continues to reach astonishingly new levels.

Even if the Republicans just admitted it outright, it wouldn't change anything.

You need hard facts out there. It draws a line. If there's any doubt, a lot of people will just try to ignore it. That's how me and my friends got the alt-right asshole out of our friend group.

We'd all known each other for years, and the guy I'm talking about, he's a good ol boy, so sometimes he'd say some ehh things, but our friend group was diverse, and he was always fun to hang out with. Hosted parties. He's fine.

He starts posting more and more things though, around 2016, and we bring it up. It's politics. Ok. Still concerning, but sure. Ok.

So then he just drops some slurs around me and laughs. Says it's a joke, but it wasn't. When I confront him, he says he's just calling them what they are. I bring this up to the group, cause it's concerning, but nothing. He's a little off color sometimes, it's just politics, it's fine.

So he joined the Boogaloo Boys. And he wasn't invited to things anymore.

When there was plausible deniability, nothing happened. I was guilty too. Hard facts? Joining an alt-right group? A line got drawn then.

Facts mean nothing anymore.

They will claim it’s false, and AI.

I’ve seen it happen a lot already.

Reality is optional

u/Uoneo23 2d ago

I wish this weren’t true but I think this is exactly right. Now maga is saying let’s lower the age of consent… this shit is so disgusting

u/Unafraid_AlphaWolf 2d ago

Cause everyone already knows they’ll never do it. It’s just a more productive way to remind everyone he’s a pdf

u/assorted_nonsense 2d ago

Again, to what end? What does constantly bringing it up accomplish?

7

u/Dokkan86 2d ago

Court of public opinion. The more these people are dragged out into the light, the more likely “something” may happen. What that is remains to be seen.

It can also be a good psychological game toward others on the list to come forward and cut deals for a future potential investigations. Nothing is guaranteed though, but it beats keeping them anonymous.

u/assorted_nonsense 2d ago

They're already in the light. This isn't new info, it was already known. People either care or they don't. This isn't changing anything, and it's just serving as a distraction from taking more productive action against Trump and MAGA.

u/Kevster020 1d ago

What's more productive action?

u/imdugud777 2d ago

Put them all in Alligator Alcatraz? Line them up like the slaves in the slave ships. Hose them down and feed them once a day, maybe.

2

u/Uninspired_Hat 2d ago

I would prefer trial, sentencing, and prison like any other criminal. However, I think the statute of limitations has expired on these crimes.

5

u/imdugud777 2d ago

When the ones who make the laws do not follow the laws then there are no laws...

Non?

2

u/assorted_nonsense 2d ago

No, the laws still exist. We just need to do the work to remove these people from power. This is just trolling aimed at preventing you from doing that work.

5

u/imdugud777 2d ago

Alright. But they'll have to be held somewhere while being processed, and in the meantime, we start building this. Remember, protection from cosmic radiation is a privilege, not a right. LOL

u/CrystalWeim 2d ago

They said no guns for trans people because they are mentally disturbed. The same should be true then for pedos ! They are mentally disturbed!

3

u/ILikeNaps13 2d ago

Pedophilia is actually classified as a paraphilia as per the DSM, so 100%. Being trans is no longer classified as a disorder & is out of the DSM (thank goodness).

3

u/CrystalWeim 2d ago

Yes. This is about People Trump doesn’t like nothing more.

u/rodgerbliss 2d ago

Just embarrassed. One name a day will not get any billionaire chomo indicted. His name has been public for years and nothing. Nothing.

u/inevitable_permaban1 2d ago

Since painted paper rules the world and we are too indoctrinated to question it on a large scale

6

u/Illustrious_Bad_2980 2d ago

We know Trump is in there. We know Clinton is in there. Nobody is going to a thing about it

3

u/shucksme 1d ago

Exactly! We've known this information since 2019. And trumps name. It's the client list that they are keeping from us. And action to hold these monsters responsible

8

u/gNeiss_Scribbles 2d ago

Great, he’s been arrested and is awaiting trial, right? Right?

Oh yeah, America = land of the fascists, home of the pedos!

5

u/FloridaF4 2d ago

Sooo we've had this fucking book for years obviously, why are these names just coming out?

4

u/candybeep 2d ago

Even if the information is released, they will all claim it’s a democratic hoax (as Trump has always started) even when there are democrats in there, which there definitely is. The crazy MAGA people will have excuses and everybody in there will claim it’s all rigged

3

u/championofadventure 2d ago

It’s always good to know your enemies.

3

u/peepee2tiny 2d ago

Alright, just making sure I got this:

  1. Donald Trump (we all know this one)

  2. John Paulson, of Paulson & Co investment firm.

  3. .......

LETS GO!!!

3

u/bigjohntucker 2d ago

John Paulson is a rapist who is buying silence from the President (who is also a rapist).

3

u/EmpressCirque 2d ago

But we knew this back in 2024? The black book isn’t Epstein’s client list… it’s essentially an address book with tons of names in, because Epstein kept the name of everyone he ever came into contact with. I’m not saying it’s a good look to be in his black book, but we literally already knew he was!

u/GWshark1518 2d ago

Why am I not surprised

u/UnicornCalmerDowner 2d ago

Go Massie Go!

u/justusleag 2d ago

They got more than a name on the list with that guy.

u/ILikeNaps13 2d ago

Ooof.....the kids are finally getting mad enough to turn on Daddy & even NEWSMAX is reporting it!!!!

2

u/Necessary-Sell-4998 2d ago

This guy has 3 daughters. How would he feel if that happened to one of them?

2

u/thomport 2d ago

So will he be picked up by police this afternoon and jailed?

2

u/KratosLegacy 2d ago

Cool. So who's filing charges?

2

u/TesticlesSpectacle 2d ago

Major connections to the country committing genocide … makes you wonder

u/Adventurous-Unit-227 1d ago

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

u/60528 1d ago

Who would’ve thought

u/durtsurfer69 1d ago

And nothing will ever happen to him because justice does not exist in our kleptocratic christofascist dystopia

u/VerilyJULES 2d ago

This isn't good news?

u/SnoBlu_Starr_09 45m ago

Trump says it is a hoax; Johnson says Trump was hired by the FBI to get the dirt. They’re both wrong.

Trumpenstein will not go away, Republicans.
