Newly released files show how Maria Farmer, who worked for Mr. Epstein in the 1990s, had urged the F.B.I. to investigate him. The case went nowhere for years.

You can hate someone without them having to have a universally bad description. I am not defending them, in fact I would love to have them face punishment in the most crucifiying way. And not only those on the list, but every single American Maga fascist.

EVERY.

SINGLE.

ONE.

This is the disgusting Michelle Obama Doctrine: When they go low, we go high. That's what got MAGA elected TWICE! It's weak and cowardly, and voters fucking HATE it. They want warriors, and that's why people vote for MAGA, even though they are literally EVIL. What Dem voters really want, is when they go low, we kick them in the fucking teeth, REAL HARD!

Hate has nothing to do with it. They have engaged in, and enthusiastically defended every single characterization I made. It is an accurate description of EVERY MAGA, and they should be painted with that description on bright red paint.

We are long past politeness. They are kicking us in the balls all day every day, and you really hate it a lot, but you don't want to protect your 'nads because you think it might offend the kicker?

So fucking weak and infuriatingly cowardly. Who would vote for that?

Just ew.

Boys, boys....cool down. You both make excellent points, and I applaud you. But let's not waste our hate on each other, it's what republiKKKlans want, so let's not give it to them :)

I'm done with weak-willed Democrats who are afraid to engage with the worst threat this nation has faced since the Civil War. They are the problem, and it's time to solve the problem. If you aren't willing to fight, get out of the way, and shut up. Stop trying to convince people that the better path is to be weak and wait for EVIL to finally change their ways. They won't, they're EVIL.

Ds are LOSERS, and if they want to change that, they need to stop sniffing their own farts, and get in the game.

Look, I don't know who you're arguing with but it's not me if I am not mistaken, you reiterate ur initial statement in different profanity withput actually responding. So if you want to lash out at someone, please do so with the next random fascist or an LLM

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 21 minutes ago (1 children)

It's simple: I'm arguing with the person who stepped up and defended MAGAs for their defense of pedophiles.

And when you've resorting to whining about profanity, you've lost the entire argument, and exposed yourself as a church-lady type who is almost certainly a MAGA, and that makes you a PEDOPHILE.

Dude he's literally just saying that not every pedophile is a terrible person, nothing more than that, chill
