Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Reporters need to keep at it until he strokes out
Clickbait headline worse than "claps back" or "slams." He didn't "spiral." In the video he basically calmly repeats an abbreviated version of his last post on the subject.
What's he afraid of? There aren't going to be any consequences even if he is a serial rapist
He’s a narcissist. He’s afraid of anything that could make him look bad to himself.
Consequences don’t factor into it at all.
Are you telling me he has a sense of shame?
No, none at all, but he absolutely hates people not adoring him absolutely, and he has enough social awareness to know that pedophiles are unpopular.
He knew no MAGA would care if he shot someone.
He also knows that they don't care that he's an unfaithful womanizer and rapist.
I think (and I think he thought) that MAGA and Congress will let him get away with being just under the age limit into sexual abuse of minors one or twice, because they'll happily swallow whatever lie he tells them about not realizing it, and I suspect that's all he thought was there and pretty easy to redact, because in his mind, he always minimizes and excuses his crimes, and he absolutely expects others to do likewise, or they're fired.
But him being in the Epstein files 20 times as often than Clinton, that, he knows, will upset MAGA and cause the QAnons to realise that he was part of the epicentre of a conspiracy of rich and powerful pedophile "elites", enough to make them reconsider everything he ever said.
I agree with everything you said. What I still don't get is.. isn't Trump known for being a "rich and powerful elite businessman"? Isn't it the only thing that "justifies" he knows what he's doing with his tariff debacle? How can he be separated from the elite class?
It's doublethink. You have to hold two contradictory ideas in your head at the same time. You'll never make it in today's Republican Party unless you master it.
Truth.
You can see from Trump and Bondi's comments that they've already identified several back down positions.
Presently, they're just undermining the credibility of any documents they have.
Later if it doesn't clear up they'll just release a few vanilla bits, that say say are credible, which might include some incendiary names, but Trump will obviously be clean.
They will use that circus to undermine the credibility of the whole thing, it's a democrat invention et cetera.
If he's done nothing wrong, he's got nothing to hide
I'm a REPUBLICAN and it's BIDENS fault that Trump had to RAPE those Children which is ALSO why Republicans just BLOCKED the Release of the Records that would Show Trump RAPED those Children that BIDEN made him Rape! PIZZA!
PIZZA!
The thing I don't quite get is what happened during Biden's term that this couldn't have been brought to light then. Sure the FBI was investigating and charging the Jan. 6th rioters, but surely they could have also raised charges against high profile people they knew who were clients of Epstein. Seems to me either there really isn't anything to go on with his death and clients, or both Biden and Trump's DOJ are suppressing going after people, maybe for different reasons?
Democrats protect their own a lot too, they're not that much better than Republicans for that.
It's gotta be prominent/powerful Democrats on the list
I mean, we know Bill Clinton is, I wouldn't be surprised if there are others too.
My other guess is that there's a bunch of big donors on that list and they didn't want to lose their money. Seems pretty on brand for the Democrats.
I don't care who is on the list. I don't care what effect it will have on society. If that many of our leaders are pedophiles then tear it all down and let history show we didn't stand for that shit. Zero exceptions.
