The House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released a trove of evidence regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation, against President Donald Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the Department of Justice. The 50-page report, released Monday, contains testimony from 11 women who either accuse Trump of…

    Notice to the timing. The GOP is tired of trumps shit and no longer willing to protect him. The wagons are circling.

    Shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

    Someone who was listed over thirty thousand times in the trumpstein files-- I mean the Epstein files-- and who was proven in court to be a rapist, raped more than just one person??? Shocked...

    These people need justice.

    Donald was mentioned in the files more times than Jesus was mentioned in the Bible. Yeah, I’m not surprised that they managed to find testimony from 11 different women.

    That's one thing, second things is that his name was 3rd most mentioned name in the released files after Maxwell and of course Epstein.

    He clearly wasn't just a customer but part of the conspiracy. His whole modeling business was likely providing young girls to be exploited.

    They said that about the impeachment, they said that about the stolen government documents, they said that about a million things he's done

    But everyone forgets, the GOP believe in "the rules are for thee, not for me", so he will get away with it

    It's unsatisfyingly ironic that the right is virtue signalling caring for children.

    Anytime they hey outraged in defence of something. Children, women's sports, racism (when supposedly black people were constantly attacking Asian people over covid or people are mean to Israel), it's never actually that they give a shit about what they so vakiantly defending. It's just that they can use it as a tool to further shit on/stomp on a different group they already did, and want to more.

    And by pretending to care about group, or cause, X it gives them, at least in their eyes, a "get out of bigotry free" card.

    Biden had four years to deal with this guy and just didn't.

    The worst thing Biden ever did was refuse to push harder on Trump. He had four years to get one of the prosecutions (plural) settled, including the one where we have publicly released phone call recordings of Trump committing the crime. Yeah, the Georgia prosecutor fucked up, but they slow rolled it before the fuck up meaning there wasn't time to recover from the fuck up.

    Biden also had four years to release the Epstein files, but he didn't. Even if he knew the prosecutions would not have been successful and was playing a political game of "we're doing this the right way and not doing a knee-jerk witch hunt," releasing the files in their full would have gotten this ball rolling in a very different DOJ and FBI environment. It also would have given the public more time to see the connections.

    the question is NOT whether he is guilty or not. it's how many Americans can work together to stop MAGA, it's like a foreign invading army, but it's just other Americans who DONT give af about the constitution or playing fair.

    However: Trump is not the cause, do NOT focus on only Trump or His Family, though they also deserve scrutiny.

    Trump/Maga are symptoms of something much more toxic and cancerous and indecent lurking with every American. Trail of Tears, The Mylai Massacre all was ordinary soldiers, same with Abu Grahib. Every century since it's inception the USA: rape rape rape, century in century out. cant even say the word on youtube to speak openly about it. Americans like to JOKE about "dont drop the soap" in the shower in prison, like prison rape is supposed to be funny or PART of the punishment!?!? the fuck is that shit. .

    A lot of Americans are really sick. they pretend this stuff is normal.... Prove me wrong America.

    American here, and while somebody could righteously and pointlessly make a "not all americans" argument, you are spot on about the culture as a whole.

    The rape history is valid but even that is a subset of the larger cultural issue where helping others is seen as weak and for suckers, while shameless greed and punching down are what the smart and the strong do. Look at none other than the president. He's a rapist and a scammer, sure, but he also brags about how he doesn't pay taxes because he's smart and his supporters eat it up.

    I would be surprised if anyone was on the fence about Trump's sex crimes.

    You either have people who realize that he looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and are willing to treat him like a duck...

    ...or you have people for whom no amount of evidence could ever convince them.

    I normally don’t get surprised by these things, but the fact that Trump and Epstein ran the same exact script on these kids, down to promises of admission to the same university, is eye-opening.

    Same methods, same promises. All to get them to go into a room alone.

    And it really makes you wonder about the people running the university / doing admissions for the university at the time as well. I wonder if they show up in the Epstein files ...

    You mean the spoiled rich kid who always had what he wanted with zero regards to legality or morality and only got even more aggressive at it as he grew older, the same guy who was already convicted of rape, the guy who was notoriously friends with and a frequent customer of someone who was organizing human sex trafficking, the guy who is clearly abusing his position of power to shut down any investigation in that matter... you say he might have committed more sexual assaults in his life?

    How is this surprising anyone at that point?

    Holiday season coming up. Remember to let your traitorous family members know they willingly supported a felon rapist pedophile just to piss off half of their fellow Americans because they can't peel their dipshit eyes off of propaganda networks.

    Never let them live this down. Or at least not for as long as we'll all be paying for their stupid fucking decisions.

    That is the tip of the iceberg. Wait until we find out how compromised he is because of people who know this fact and is blackmailing him with it.

    I read it as either 11 more, or more evidence for 11 that are already known about.

    At least the victims haven't given up in the face of a game that is rigged against them.

    Guess that explains why Comey was prosecuted today, probably to distract from this. Even without Comey I doubt the mainstream media that’s fallen inline with the Trump administration will be reporting about this unfortunately.

    How would we know? Republicans are currently helping Trump (illegally) keep the Epstein files secret and sealed.
