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

Probably his bisexual nature.

We have watched him: -Talk about Arnold Palmer's cock -Deepthroat a microphone -Talk about how strong and muscular dudes "hurt his hand" when he taps their shoulder. -Touched an athlete's cock -said he checks out guys' asses.

I mean, he is a soft man that covers himself in makeup and just cares about ballrooms and interior decoration. Normal people have always known he is a QUEEN. Ironically, him coming out would devastate the right, while the rest of us would still just hate him because he is a Nazi pedophile rapist war criminal.

Ahh but this is the problem.

Define "the Democrats". We want names specifically who prevented these from being released? Who knew and said nothing.

Yeah, because up until this moment we had no idea that Trump was linked to Epstein.

People are stupid, and unfortunately sometimes political manouvering is a strategic game.

Given the complete lack of consequences for Trump so far, this release timing has a better shot of impacting the elections, thereby having consequences for Trump.

Think not Democrats with this mindset. It's the ruling parties picking and choosing on when it's most convenient for them, the ones who thought finally now it's convenient for them to have their congressional pawn to "motion" to have now be the time.

yes the entire democratic party held onto evidence the president is a pedophile right until ayyy logged into lemmy to get his morning chuckles

I swear I heard this same headline 2 years ago around election time. "Bombshell" then too.

He could stand on 5th avenue and shoot someone.

he hasnt been not a pedophile

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

They can't be punished (within the system, at least) as long as the president controls the DOJ and enough of congress supports pedorape.

But, but... Epstein didn't kill himself

or do something about it

What can I dom? It's kind of a trope with millennials at this point that memes are the form of "action" that represents our overall powerlessness to hold such people accountable, despite it being a scandal that redefines the meaning of "watershed moment".

If diddling kids for decades isn't enough to enrage a country into burning it down, what is?
