I don't think there is a more direct way of saying "you want epstein files? Fine I will produce some fake files and release them. You will eat those files like eating shit all the while knowing they are fake, because that is what you are. You are my little shit eaters."

Wait, didn't they say there are NO files? What files are they gonna release? The inconsistencies here will blow some people's minds.
There is no Excel spreadsheet named Epsteins_Client_List.xslx
Ergo, no files.
These seem like the kind of people who use spaces, not underscores, in their file names.
And it's still .xls
Prepare for fake documents. Finally People can read this moron like a book. Lies and fake shit.
Or, more likely, heavily cherry picked.
See, there's nothing incriminating in THESE documents, so you can trust when we say that there's nothing incriminating in the rest of them, either.
“Produce”, as in “fabricate” or “forge”
Cue the news conference where she pulls out a 2000 page binder that she claims are the documents, only to just be blank pages.
Nah they will inexplicably only name Democrats, there won’t be a single Republican name in there
I heard Trump has binders full of children.
You read that right, not names, actual children, 3-rings.
Binder? I don't even know her!
Never stopped Trump before!
It's an old reference, but it checks out.
I'm sure they will somehow, implicate Joe Binder in it.
Hunter Biden*
Hunter Binder*
Is that his BDSM name?
Bad Democrat! Send Memes!
Also happy cake day
This is the way.

Page after page of Lorem ipsum...
Heard in the oval office: The proles did not buy the they don’t exist bullshit. Time to cal in the spin doctors.
Please let this backfire spectacularly
I don't see how it could possibly help him. It's just going to keep the story in the media, longer it stays in the news cycle the bigger it snowballs.
Distraction from something worse, probably.
This distraction rhetoric is fucking stupid. They are doing a lot of bad things at the same time so you cant focus on all of it at once. they don't care what you're focusing on just that not everyone is focused on the same things so a group is harder to form. It's why we (the left) need to keep hitting on the list. It's clearly a weak point and there is blood in the water so we need to keep pushing. There are some MAGA that are waking up because of this.
I see your point, but it still feels like press bait to me. Is there any way what gets released can be verified to be authentic? I have seen one or two MAGA supporters speaking out over it, but I have serious doubts they won't return after a trivial capitulation like this. What I'd love to see is engagement from people who didn't vote, I want to see protest crowds getting bigger. I understand your frustration, but I think it's valid to try to absorb the other news as well.
I don't disagree with trying to absorb other things that wasn't what was intended sorry if it came off that way.
I think I a piece piece of evidence is that the right wing news orgs are still talking about it after they were told to stop. Their own audiences turned against them enough that they have to keep talking about it. I forget who said it but one said that they trust the people in the white house to take care of it and his own comments dragged him for it.
There are also some people I know personally that have genuinely been shook by this.
Thanks for explaining! That's very encouraging.
What's worse than the President of the world's most influential nation being part of a child sex trafficking scheme? Other than nuclear war, which would be pretty hard to distract people from.
The deportation of democrats and lefties and undesirables and the deaths of those cut off medicaid/care and starving kids, oh, yeah, and the nuclear war.
Back of the mind worry/conspiracy theory:
You really thing trump suddenly changed his mind about putin after 40 years? Trump arms Ukraine, Putin gets mad, nukes a blue state trump fulfills his promise "blue states will disappear from the map", Q gets their great solar flash of 2025, and welcome to hell.
I guess it doesn't really need to be something worse -- they have full control over the narrative, and the WH clearly won't actually release anything meaningful, so keeping it in the news is a huge attention magnet with practically no downside. Maybe an extra week of all other news getting buried is worth it. Maybe it's a favor to that CEO who got caught cheating at a Coldplay concert. I get the impression that when he does something weirdly out-of-character it's a misdirection, so I'll look at page two of the news for awhile.
It won't, they'll produce a bunch of falsified documents implicating everybody but TACO, and half the country will accept it as gospel.
Yeah, this sounds like "make me a list that I can use to target the rich people that don't like me".

REDACTED
Springtime for Hitler
Kind of a shame it hasn't just been leaked.
Like at this point we know justice won't be served one way or the other, might as well get names out there
The key word is pertinent:
Pertinent
n. Anything that doesn’t portray Trump in a bad light while simultaneously harming his perceived foes, as determined by Donald J. Trump and/or Pam Bondi at the formers discretion.
Plus, the Grand Jury testimony is only a small fraction of the ‘files’
*a.
I don't need to see new produced information, I am content just seeing what they already have.
List aside, did I miss why we aren't still talking about the 3 missing minutes and Adobe edited surveillance footage of the prison?
Because "flood the zone" is an incredibly effective tactic against Americans who can't stay focused on something longer than one day. Each time something horrific comes out in the news they can just tell people to look at Trump's ankles instead. Oh and then we get a very professional doctor's opinion that Trump is the greatest, healthiest president we've ever had with the physique of a college athlete.

I hate to say this, but Epstein/Trump stories feel like the real distraction. It's long been known that Trump is connected with Epstein, that he's a certified sex pest, and that he's creepy about kids (including his own daughter). It's been default knowledge that Trump is a pedo creep, yet people seem to think that even smoking gun evidence will make some sort of difference.
Almost nobody will seriously change where that stand based on anything that could possibly revealed. On the other hand, the economy is in shambles, the government in shreds, and there are actual fucking concentration camps that people are getting disappeared to.
There is too much horror in the moment for me to fret so much about these horrors from the past. Epstein will not harm anyone else, but unknown high level child sex rings will. Everyone around Epstein getting revealed will not bring retribution to many culprits, nor will it change the root causes of such unaccountable abuse.
I could see it being a distraction but also feel like this should just be added to the growing list of things people should not let go as midterms approach and the administration tries to redirect the narrative of reality. Don't let them.
Its a lot to keep up with, but in no particular order, as a direct result of this administration and Republicans in the House and Senate:
•Rich pedophiles are now an officially protected species
•Trump tried to insult and neg his own supporters into dropping the Epstein list
•Economy is in shambles and projected to get worse
•Over 100 Americans suddenly dead in Texas due to severe flooding and cuts to warning systems that were in place until Trump took office (Republicans are seriously trying to blame this on "weather manipulation"). Similar disasters very likely to follow.
•After other disasters in other loyalist red states, emergency funding was withheld or delayed due to a lack of coordination between the white house and FEMA (with Trump's own pick leading things, last I heard he was on vacation and MIA following the TX floods)
•Energy grids and local water supplies are being strained all over the country by the very stupid and very expensive AI data factories being rolled out across the U.S.
•Giant Palantir surveillance database being created to keep tabs on all Americans. Don't forget that over the last 6 months: -ICE has been given the greenlight to break down doors without a warrant -Trump openly admitting he's not sure he has to follow due process -Trump dismantling the office of Human Rights and Civil Liberties that was created as a direct result of government overreach on behalf of the patriot act -There's a very fine line between what Trump can do to handle immigration and what he can do to any and all American citizens in the name of "domestic safety." That office was in charge of ensuring that line didn't get crossed, and if it did ensuring there would at least be documentation about it available through FOIA.
•Trump knew about Netenyahu's planned bombing of Iran, publicly lied about it, said he didn't want a war with Iran, but then randomly just decided to start kicking the hornet's nest
•Millions of Americans are losing their healthcare (in particular rural Americans and Trump's own voters are being hit especially hard by this) in order to provide tax cuts to wealthy elite
•Even the ultraconservative Cato institute has criticized Trump's planned spending on immigration laid out in the BBB (over $1 trillion dollars on deportation spending seems a kinda ridiculous when you can't find the budget for Americans to have Medicaid)
There's more, but just a few things off the top of my head.
It doesn't hurt so long as we don't expect it to have much effect. I also don't think the midterms will make a difference, even if Republicans lose every possible seat in an absolute blowout. We're in a dictatorship 6 that's featuring domestic death camps 6 months in; violence against opposition is not unimaginable.
[cutout of female figure for birthday card]
The letter, according to The Wall Street Journal, allegedly ends with the words: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret."
"These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don't draw pictures," Trump said on social media in response to the story.
“Is that your fucked up scrawly signature in the crotchtal area representing pubic hair?”
“ . . . . . No”
"Produce" probably as in "make up". Like an Epstein list containing all kinds of Democrats.
