Now we understand why Trump didn’t want [the Epstein files] released.
Just a week before the midterm elections, which are already shaping up to be a bloodbath for the GOP, Democrats have dropped a bombshell. “A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s,” states a just-released report from the Democrats of the House Judiciary Committee.
Additionally, they claim that Trump has leveraged his FBI and DOJ to cover up the evidence, and have now called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate any potential wrongdoing.
We didn’t know it before? I thought it was pretty obvious.
the media wants the conversation to stick to “look what we found” without moving to “what should we do about it,” hence the constant headlines about us “”“discovering”“” trump’s connections to epstein.
social media included.
There’s knowing it and there’s knowing it
This is no surprise to any rational human being.
I, for one, am shocked. I just thought Epstein and Maxwell were two lone pedos with unrelated connections to teen modeling agencies and other known sex predators. Sure, the FBI found 300gb of data which later turned out to be dozens of terabytes, including video, which were later hacked, but the FBI said the data wasn’t compromised, so no foul there. It’s a shame he and so many of his clients died of totally natural or self-inflicted causes in such a short time afterward. I bet the discovery phase in court would have confirmed that his associates were blameless and that he was just maintaining a 20-40 terabyte collection of porn for personal use. The whole thing was so unrelated and random that they had to move Ghislaine Maxwell to a low-security prison despite her convictions for some of the worst and highest profile felonies in recent history.
But now there’s evidence against another person whose name was all over the files and who has also bragged about inappropriate behavior with minors? Consider me shell shocked. Still, having been born yesterday, this is my first real day on earth, so what do I know.
This won’t change a thing. Republicans know Trump rapes kids, they’ve decided that it’s not a deal breaker.
and so do his voters
@badfaithact
Hmm
When I say “Republicans” I’m not just talking about politicians. Republican voters have all chosen to support pedophilia, rape, and blatant corrupion.
It’s actually not even clear what other policies Republican voters support. It’s not small government, fiscal responsibility, family values, or law and order. As far as I can tell, they’re only the party of pedophiles.

the rapist’s child has to be carried out
Why would you share that as if it’s a serious comment?
The guy’s handle is literally BadFaithAct
Exactly
They know, some enabled, and a lot of them, while not involved in the island, did some diddling themselves
ex-fucking-zaccly.
It’s a mix of that and their astounding ability to just ignore things or make themselves believe (and/or be convinced by others) It’s “fake news”.
It wouldn’t even matter if videos were released of Trump being in the act of pedophilia, once people like them have made up their minds about something there is nothing that can change that.It absolutely will change things
Just not until after Trump, and everyone politically reliant on him, is dead or out of power
Until then the divisive propaganda will continue, and roughly 1/3rd of the population will believe it. Not necessarily because it’s actually believable, but because believing Trump did nothing wrong is convenient for them personally
Finally? This has been known for years, wtf???
Yeah as soon as I saw the photo I said that’s old hat lol
What’s nice about this report is that it puts the slow drip of info over the years together one place, all connected.
known*
Thanks. I miss physical keyboards on mobile devices…
Um…we all pretty much got it…like years ago…decades even
Dems were just waiting for the news to have maximal political impact when they announce their conclusion. Right before the midterms hopefully moves some voters and also sets them up to impeach if they win.
You mean impeach the president who had already been impeached?
Yeah… if Republicans lose the midterms, Trump is a lame duck and some Republicans might be ready to break ranks. It’s a long shot, but it’s a chance. Either way, making the conversation in the media about Trump’s Epstein rapes is a good way to control the narrative up to 2028. Whoever the Republican candidates are will be trying to distance themselves from him.
About a third of Repulican senators and all the Democrats would need to vote to remove him. That doesn’t seem likely.
The more places Democrats get, the less Republicans you need for the vote.
In the other hand, if the situation is close to 50-50 with Democrats having a very slight majority in both houses, maybe Republicans would be ready for a deal where JD Vance becomes the president and the government will be allowed to successfully pass at least some laws? After all, Vance won’t be really much different from Trump, just not supporting the Russia that strongly.
I’m not even sure you could get all democrats to vote to impeach. There will always be enablers like Schumer and Jeffries who say stuff like “now is not the time” and “It’ll never work anyway” or “It’s not worth the cost.”

We Finally Know Why Trump Has Tried So Hard to Hide the Epstein Files
AdviceAnimals was so fun in its prime.
I don’t get it. Didn’t we already know this? Is this not the bedrock that all of his heinous decisions are based on? What other reason would he start a war with Iran? No other reason than to move the spotlight away form his degenerate pedophilia.
Voters have to be reminded of things, constantly. With hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. Otherwise they might do something stupid like vote for a 3rd party.
No other reason …
He and his buddies make a fortune when the gas prices dip then go up.
1-The justice system works off of proof and evidence, not conjecture or presumption, no matter how likely the odds are (ideally speaking that is, different rules may apply depending on your race)
2-Since the President is also in charge of the DOJ, he has the power to tell them to just drop the issue. Now, a super-majority in Congress can bypass that, but currently that just ain’t gonna happen
3-Like someone else pointed out, this headline was not written with people like you and me in mind, but rather people who were/are still hesitant to believe what the rest of us know to be true until they have literally no other option, and even then a large number of them will probably just go full-on into denial mode because they can’t handle the idea that they were so wrong about something for so long
As if the 10.000 (or more) blacked out mentions of trump in the files weren’t evidence of his abundant participation…
Why is this all worded so carefully?No mention ofcourse of how trump’s pageant-business was used for and complicit in epstein’s crimes.
Because the pedo class is protecting him too.
They know what’s in that report, they would never bring a libel suit because discovery would include those files and they’d fuck themselves.
Wow. What a bombshell that noone has known for the better part of a decade. A revelation, truly
dear fediverse users: you are not the audience this headline is trying to reach.
But, but… Epstein didn’t kill himself
We now know the things we all knew 2 years ago. Finally, after all this time, accusations are coming to light after spending so long out in the open and fully in the light.
I swear I heard this same headline 2 years ago around election time. “Bombshell” then too.
Didn’t we already know all this?
Democrats are a bit like Internet Explorer. Slow, painfully behind, only listening to the people’s demands when a court orders it to, constantly forcing itself on you when you don’t want it, and sometimes it’s all you got.
you forget one - owned by corporate interests
Aww and it was so obvious too
We absolutely did.
Some people plug their ears when they hear anything unpleasant. This is extremely unpleasant to read about, so it needs to be repeated over and over again.
I have read about it before, but I still can’t really understand it. It is difficult to imagine how something like this happens without ever having been in such a situation. It’s a natural defense mechanism to downplay the severity of it in an attempt to create the belief that it can be avoided if it should happen to yourself. That’s were victim blaming cones from too. “It won’t happen to be because I would have done this instead”.
The more detailed descriptions help me better grasp the horror of it and how the victims got lured into the situations.
I guess it depends on how you define we in that sentence. If you mean you and I yeah we knew that. If you mean the public as a whole? No unfortunately not. Lot of them are not paying attention.
That’s why you have to keep saying it over and over and over again. Keep writing the stories. Keep up the investigation. Put it on the news every single night. You can’t rely on something being said once and reaching the General Public. It takes a lot to reach them. You got to pound it into their brains until they know it in their bones.
I have been to comedy shows where they make jokes about trump fucking his daughter. Its not like no one has heard of it.
Well yeah, and we also know there’s been no consequences.
There are never consequences, until there are.

EUREKA! What an EPIPHANY! We finally know after all this time. Can you believe it?
Right before the election - how shocking and what a coincidence. Something something definition of insanity
