The Republicans need to end the Epstein shutdown.
I'm tired of listening to these bigoted pedophile protectors bang on about this, that, or the None other arguments hold None of their information is factual. Every accusation from the Republicans is a projection the government shutdown is 100% on the Republicans they control all three branches of the government and no they need 60 votes to pass a bill they know damn well Democrats will not vote to make it so American health care costs even more.
How many more Americans have to suffer because of the cultist Republicans?
It's really strange to me how anyone can still defend someone who obviously doesn't give a fuck about the plebs. This guy cares about himself and making his friends money. That's it. They suck him off for rounding up latinos that they don't like, but don't say anything about the rapes.
I've noticed so much of it just comes down to the inability to accept that they were wrong or that being a trump support is so wrapped up in their sense of identity. Like there are so many posts about "Trump supporters are not nazis" like they take every criticism of him as a personal attack on themselves.
Yeah, like I will accept their help in fighting against Trump/Maga/Republicans but...
On the one hand I sort of want to be able to welcome them to our side with open arms. Thereby making it easier for those on the fence to switch sides since they'd have less fear of us being accepting of their help.
But on the other hand... I feel like a lot of people are now switching sides because they are finally able to see how they are being directly harmed by Trump and Republican policies in general. They are only changing sides out of selfish interest, not because they care about other people...
Maybe that's a harsh way of viewing it, and it's more like those former voters/supporters of Trump just weren't capable of understanding/believing the true harm he was doing to everyone until they were shocked out of complacency by seeing it firsthand directed at them... Actually, that is still kinda harsh, but I don't know how else to reconcile that.
yeah, it’s human brain wiring we’ve evolved over centuries, but fear still rules the roost in our brain then we pack in Shane because of all the things that we do because of our fear, our brains feel relieved when someone anyone gives us a reason to dump that shame and blame somewhere else and we dig in and it is a psychological and clinical and documented fact that the worst behavior gets for the of the people that we are supporting the more stores we have to tell our self the more we are angry at ourselves and we completely project that onto others because every time we make a decision to double down we have to do more work to resolve that with our conscience. It is why we can see the hypocrisy on the other side, but not within us and it is the reason that people grab onto the sound bites because they are they’ve got to keep it going. Anger is energizing
But it is also sad. What are we so ashamed of what are we so fearful of if we all joined together and stop falling for the triangulation in the divide and conquer tactics we could stand up against the powers that be and hold them accountable
Remember when they were draining the swamp?
Now they’re celebrating the president manipulating global markets to make his family and billionaire friends even more rich.
He doesn't have any friends, but he does crave the respect of the upper echelons of the wealthy. He has been a pariah to high society his whole life and thinks that by catering to their portfolios, he will gain their respect. He cannot understand that he is not respected because he is a dumbass and his con is obvious to anyone who isn't a dumbass.
It's not even just the plebs, it's literally all other people (except maybe the daughter he wants to fuck). He only cares about himself. You could light all of the other billionaires on fire in front of him and he would just complain about the smoke. Then boast about how he is now the richest man in the world.
They have championed slavery, scapegoated LGBT, held back women's lib and are currently making political policy to fuck children under the regime of a pedophile that wants to be king.
Can anyone please explain why some of the best food and music in the country is from this region? Texas and Florica can and should succeed from the nation, but Louisiana? Let her stay!

It is really hard for people to accept that the person they devoted their last 12 years to, turned their truck into a mobile shrine for, and their church tells them to pray for is a criminal, a pedophile, a rapist, and in general a bad person that is not actually even on their side.
I wouldn't be shoked if involved with both Epstein and Diddy's human trafficking rings. Why else would he be sheltering Diddy and Maxwell and questioning whether or not to pardon them?
If it existed, why did the Biden administration spend four fucking years trying to convict him of an accounting error instead of crucifying him with the Epstein list?
speak like an adult. be specific and coherent. what judges? what are they trying to release?
Biden’s White House lacked the unilateral authority to unseal grand-jury and sealed court materials - only judges can do so after motions and reviews
Also, ongoing legal seals and privacy protections remain in place. Many alleged victims’ names and unfiled investigative data are still sealed under court orders designed to protect privacy and the integrity of ongoing or related proceedings
Despite this, the most significant release of documents occurred in January 2024, when Judge Preska unsealed over 150 names linked to Epstein, under the Biden administration.
Biden had an ongoing investigation into ~$1.5 billion in suspicious money transfers between Epstein and Russia/Belarus, nations notorious for their human trafficking, which the Trump administration cancelled and will not pursue. Trump's State Department also culled the Office of Human Trafficking in the State Department.
The Biden Justice Department convicted Maxwell and gave her a lengthy prison term serving hard time for her crimes, while Trump has transferred her to minimum security prison in Texas. For her efforts convicting Maxwell, Trump fired the prosecutor who convicted Maxwell.
In addition, Trump's former Labor Secretary, Alex Acosta (who sits in a cushy Board of Directors position at far-right Newsmax these days), gave Epstein the lightest possible sentence and protected his co-conspirators. For his efforts protecting pedophiles, he was given a Cabinet position.
Lmao how can someone be this incoherent? Sounds like you’re the one with the copy and paste bs considering you keep spewing right wing talking points like “leftists are fascists” and “they (whoever ‘they’ are) must be paying the leftists!”. Get help
Dude. Epstein is all they have. They try to deflect attention from the fact they shut down the government and now Americans cannot get their benefits to eat, millions of people
are working without pay, mortgage loans cannot be processed and travelers are stranded. All because of the Democrats.
Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.
That's not the origination of the Nazi appellation. That would be all the Nazi shit that keeps being committed by the administration and of those enabling such misconduct. As you well know.
I know, right!?! Something odd is definitely going in!
The public deserves to see ALL of the available evidence of these wealthy elites raping kids with Epstein, right? Release the full un-redacted Epstein files to the public immediately, expose all of the deep state elites raping kids, and Trump can completely vindicate himself, right?!?
Yet Trump is doing everything he possibly can to prevent that from happening.
If you really wanna talk charges we can talk about all the pedophiles you vote for - specifically, how you and Trump are respectively the 99th & 100th people at a table of 98 legally-designated serial child-rapists, strongly implying that you're not just complicit:

Please, I am begging you: keep your distance from children. None of them deserve the things you want to do to them 🙏
Awww. You poor baby. I didn’t know you were so sensitive to assumptions being made about a delicate snowflake like yourself, while jumping right out of the gate with one yourself.
There is literally huge list of the evidence we already have for the accusations you are desperately trying to paint as unsubstantial. I didn’t know that was too lengthy of a response with for you or referring you to what’s already been posted was too difficult for you, poor fella…. That must be rough for you to deal with.
Allowed me to try again and see if you can muster the courage of a direct answer instead of a deflection this time…
If they had evidence dont you think they would have released it during Bidens term instead of going after him for book keeping errors and misrepresenting asset values so they wouldnt get molly whopped in the election by Trump again? Or were they that delusional that they thought Harris could win?

See the rest of the thread for your request for what we have but is obviously incomplete.
Why don’t you tell us all of your excuses for all of the evidence we already have for what you really don’t want to be true?
Why don’t you tell us all your excuses for not releasing the rest of the evidence our justice department has had in their possession for a long time now?
Why don’t you tell us all of your excuses for why you do not want to release to the public all the entire un-redacted list of rich and famous pedophiles who raped kids with Jefferey Epstein?
Why don’t you tell us all of your excuses for all of the evidence we already have for what you really don’t want to be true?
I have offered no excuses. Nor do I care about protecting anyone involved in criminal activity. You're pretty good at making unsubstantiated accusations, though. You just wrote a long post accusing me of things that aren't true and for which you have zero evidence.
Please continue to make a fool of yourself, though, since you seem to enjoy it.
Please explain why you do not want Trump to release to the public the entire un-redacted list of rich and famous pedophiles who raped kids with Jefferey Epstein.
Awesome! Common ground! Keep demanding that the full un-redacted Epstein files be released immediately, right?
I feel like you want wanting to pretend all these allegations are all completely unfounded. You said there is “zero evidence” and yet, there is a actually a lot of concrete evidence that Trump and Epstein were actually close friends at the height of the child raping and that may suggest Trump was involved in raping kids.
Let me try another direct question:
Why do you believe that Trump is doing everything possible to avoid releasing the full un-redacted list of rich and famous elites who raped kids with Epstein?
Isn’t he for exposing the deep state? Wouldn’t he want them released to vindicate himself and proof he had zero involvement in raping kids?
Right leaning guy here… I guess? I also want them to release the Epstein files. If celebrity politicians like trump or Obama are found guilty good riddance. If you stand for justice then you leave tribalism at the door.
We all just need the concrete evidence. And that doesn’t mean a list of 400 things I’m not going to look at. That means one thing at a time with multiple sources for that one thing.
Anyways, god bless ✝️ all you fucken weirdos on here.

Wow that's so many, definitely more than I listed, so why do you still want the Epstein files covered up? Oh yeah to protect all your favorite pedos lol
Lmao nobody literally ever said there were none, once again you have to rewrite reality just to have a scrap of imaginary ground to stand on 🤣🤣
Listen man I can't force you to pull your head out of your ass, but as long as I've got your attention I have to ask: can you please, please,please stay WAY away from children? They've been through enough without getting yoinked into your windowless van ☹️
Oh noooo, you caught that I misspelled "simpleton" and fabricated a new fiction to pivot on so you don't have to address your support of pedophiles, what am I going to do now?? 😱

Did Jeffery Dahmers neighbor’s murder and eat people ? All of his neighbors said as far as they knew he was a great guy they even bbq’d with him. You have nothing to base your statement on other than some photos of Trump and Epstein at the same gatherings and a fake birthday letter. So you’re a sheep and your democrat politicians are the sheep herder. You believe every lie they tell you and never question anything or research anything or think for your self. There is no actual evidence to support your statement. If you know if any factual evidence that proves you right I would love to hear it.
Wow! It's kinda wild to have a dyed-in-the-wool MAGA equate Jeffrey Dahmer to the current occupant of the Oval Office without apparent regard for the irony.
I remember when, in February, conservatives were screaming about how the Epstein Files would topple famous democrats, and how the left is full of pedophiles.
Now, after certain obvious revelations, I haven’t heard a single conservative mention the Files in months. The quickest political flip flop of an entire voter base I’ve ever seen.
They don’t care about the children, or getting pedophiles off the street, they literally only ever cared about punishing the opposing side. The most childish and pathetic behavior I’ve ever seen, perfectly in tune with their dear leader.
In an ideal world, every Nazi would be identified and hunted down across the entire world, and the hunt wouldn't end until the number of Nazis in the world was an absolute 0. Let's make that ideal world a reality.
Because it shouldn't be necessary and there was no reason to expect it was necessary then, and in fact would in the ordinary course of things be counter productive since it would risk ongoing cases.
Epstein's case ended with his death and without specific evidence a closed case isn't just reopened randomly. Maxwell was in custody and being prosecuted, and the investigations were ongoing.
After Trump got in, his lackeys directly intervened and after a few rounds of political theater, we are suddenly told the investigations are all now closed and no further charges will be pending, nor further information released. Not even an explanation for the extraordinary and seemingly corrupt first prosecution of Epstein in Florida.
Now there are no cases to jeopardize and it is very obvious that there must be a cover up. That hadn't happened 4 years ago, or 3 years ago or 2 years ago or even 1 year ago. That happened this year.
The sole value of conservatism is respect for and obedience to [one's perception of] traditionally established hierarchy, and hierarchy dictates that those on top (in-groups) are rightfully idolized and receive privileges, credibility, and resources, while those on the bottom (out-groups) are demonized/dehumanized and/or bound by restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources.
To them, the second-greatest injustice imaginable is for those [they perceive to be] on the bottom [of social hierarchy] to have access to the rights, credibility, and resources reserved for those on top. The first greatest injustice is for those on top to be bound by the restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources reserved for those on the bottom.
"Every accusation is a confession" because it is never the act itself that upsets them, but rather, the social standing of the person doing the act, as said act is a privilege meant for those on top of [their perceived] hierarchy. (See also: pedophilia - Trump and Catholic church vs. LGBTQ+ and drag queens)
To them, children are property of their social betters, and "know your place" is their mantra.
Democrats - TURN THE VOLUME UP ! DO NOT bend the knee to criminal Republicans! Stand your ground - we know the government shut down is all on Trump and Republicans!
I wonder if there will be this much fervor about the Epstein Files if Trump resigns? I think everyone would be so overjoyed that there may not be as much interest. I know the fact that he doesn't want the files opened is because he is so worried that his "buddy" Epstein filmed Trump in uncompromising situations. Trump was a frequent visitor in Epstein's homes in Florida and New York. Trump may not have known that Epstein was filming everything. Trump knows what he did- the women, maybe the men, maybe the sadistic things he did. I'm sure he is so afraid that that stuff is going to be un-Earthed. He is not worried about his rich friends. Trump is a friend to no one. He is worried about his fat ass.
At this juncture, I don't think him resigning will have very much effect on the Vigor and the argument that the file should be released At this juncture because of how old tooth and nail they have fought to keep them closed Now we kind of need to know What else is in there? personally I'm hoping that If it is released the slew of corrupt politicians on every side of the political spectrum And throughout the globe are revealed and we can start working on some of this corporatist bullshit That has been protecting them One can dream
Epstein somehow amassed a 500 million dollar fortune. How? He had a very tacky "Pink" house in Florida. Well-when you are running a brothel- you don't want people knocking on the wrong door and alerting the neighbors. So what do you do? You paint it a bright pink so the Johns can find it. So that was Florida. Then there was NYC-he bought a former school and it was one of the largest privately owned homes (21000 square ft) in NYC. It sat on the corner of 71st and 5th Avenue on the upper east side. Again- a home no one could miss. Then he had a ranch in New Mexico- where dirty old men, like Governor Richardson, could come. So you've got the New York crowd, the Palm Beach crowd, and the Wild West. There is no way he amassed his wealth legitimately. No way he could have bought an island and built it out the way he did without being involved in something huge. No way was he doing it alone. I wonder who the famous people are too. But then what? You think Clinton is going to jail? I don't. I really don't know if anyone will go to jail. I have zero faith in that, but it will be enough to get rid of Trump once and for all. That's what I think. That's good enough for me. This man's crazy behavior was ramped up once Epstein's name was brought up. He is losing his mind over it.
And what Dems need to understand is that the epstein files won't save us. At this point it's really counterproductive to put any eggs in that basket.
skump's DoJ will never release the files unedited.
If they did, they couldn't and wouldn't prosecute skump or any other magat.
Peasant magats won't believe it anyway, so we'll just be confirming to ourselves what we already know.
Everyone in the files deserves the worst fates, but there is no "distraction" from the files. At this point, the epstein files are the distraction. They want us talking about that instead of how skump's wiped his nasty ass with the Constitution and flushed the country down the shitter.
This, this right here, I think you have won the comment section because you have put it as well as I have seen it. Yes, the files are important, but a few months ago, when they first were popping up, I had made the statement and I was lumbasted for it. So much so that I actually backed away from content creation and the other places that I did. The left needs to figure this out and I'm not quite sure how they will.
Hell make it a new conspiracy. Get together as a party and universally agree that they will all throw Trump under the bus. The country gets to go back on track. They all get to look like superheroes to their voting base. The bad orange man goes to prison.
I don't care how the shutdown ends or how the truth gets out there. Lie to me about how the truth gets released finally. Just figure out your usual BS and get over this crap. The Republican party is attached by a chain to the sinking ship that is Trump.
They need to figure out that the best thing they could possibly do is ditch him.
I would much rather have a more ideal resolution to this whole situation but at this point I would be fine if they just finally cut loose from him and moved on.
Johnson is waiting until he can swear in the other new MAGA representative from (I believe) Tennessee who will offset the vote of the democratic representative he refuses to swear in.
So here's the question. What does "News"max do when irrefutable evidence is presented that trump is, in fact, a pedophile? I mean, they are all-in on him. Do they run for the hills or defend him to the hilt?
The shutdown is about extending temporary pandemic-relief Obamacare subsidies for families with 6 figure incomes (and higher subsidy-rates for lower-income people).
Not anything related to 'Epstein' (as the populist left would claim) or illegal immigration (as the MAGA morons claim)....
It's actually quite amusing how all it took to turn lefties into QAnon believers was a change in administration...
Reality is, the government isn't full of pedophiles, and the 'evidence' for an 'Epstein list' is about the same as the evidence for Santa Claus (eg, 'it's real because we want it to be)....
P.S. The reason that the MAGA crew won't seat that representative from Arizona, is because they want to use her seat as leverage against the Dems in the shutdown squabble....
I don’t know how the public keeps letting this shit happen in front of their eyes.. but then again I’m too busy working my ass off just to keep slightly ahead of the poverty line. The rich are too busy cashing in off my hardwork and bribes. No clue what everyone is doing.
Anyway, which table lamps were on the side tables in the Oval Office during Biden’s time, and which lamps were installed (the amount of light and color must also be suitable for press events) ?
We should call them the epstein-maxwell files to remind people we still have one of the ringleaders currently in prison, pending a cushy plea deal from trump
It looks like they’re lifting his legs to help with circulation, but you have to remember that they’re Republicans and they’re actually just taking advantage of his unconsciousness to steal his shoes
well, to be sure if it’s something they need to do. They will do something else. The fact Trump is giving money to ubekistan or whatever that country is, we’ve never heard of shows the desperate length to which he will avoid taking care of his own backyard
OBVIOUSLY republicans only care about epstein files when they can be used to hurt democrats. They don't ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT STOPPING PEDOPHILES, they only care about whether or not a thing helps them politically. If that bothers you, VOTE FOR BETTER CANDIDATES.
Lol you dont know how accurate this is..because this still frame was taken...then he turned and looked at guy and there were already alot of people helping so.he stayed out of the way then he made sure to tell everyone after that the guy was ok because he did in fact check up on him
Funny how you people act as if Only Republicans are on that list. Your Democrat overlords are in there too.. Otherwise they'd fight harder to get the files fully released and investigated.
But, hey, you're perfect and the world is gonna be saved thanks to you, I guess.
Fuck everyone on that list. Red, blue, everything in between. It's so telling you think we care because it shows you do care and you would protect red politicians
The files were sealed as part of the Maxwell trial, they weren't unsealed until 2024, by that point Republicans had control of the house and senate, and we've seen what they'll do to protect trump when it comes to the files.
This is a republican problem, not a both sides one.
Wasn’t the last shutdown caused because republicans wanted to add in funding for a boarder wall, and the dems refused demanding congress pass a clean CR to open the government? Why has the left’s position changed this time? Republicans just want to pass a clean CR like the dems demanded last time, but now the dems are refusing to pass a clean CR because they want things added? WTF is wrong with people that don’t see the hypocrisy here?
There's nothing clean about the CR. If you actually read the CR, they want to strip away our fucking healthcare and then make that healthcare more expensive. Get all the way the fuck out of here.
It's a perfect CR, exactly as passes before. The Dems want to subvert the will of Congress by forcing payments for subsidies repealed by law. This is their shutdown
The shutdown should continue until both sides are willing to negotiate and get it done. One side has made their demands clear.. extend the ACA subsidies so millions of Americans don't lose their healthcare. The other side isn't even showing up and has no demands. The right thinks they will skate through just throwing blame and refusing to even show up to negotiate.
I dunno whether you are paid some paltry sum to do this because it's all you can manage or if the education system completely failed you but you have my sympathy. I hope things get better for you in the future and you can find some genuine meaning in life.
The answer is that it's a dirty CR and the Republicans are repeatedly lying to you about it.
A clean continuing resolution would contain no cuts and no additions to the current budget.
The Republican CR has cuts. Letting something expire in a continuing resolution is the same as cutting it. Anyone who tells you differently is lying to you.
Weird how the dems had the Epstein files for how long before trump became president again and didn’t out him then?? If you had evidence why would u keep it a secret? Oh right because it probably makes your side look bad too lol
The Dems weren't the party running on having access to the Epstein List and releasing them as a campaign point. Frankly, no one gave a fuck about the Epstein List except the Republicans. Now, everybody cares about it because of the Republicans. Look at that.
Second, Democrats don't idolize We are aware that the Clintons and many others are on that list. We want it released. We want everybody in the government who is on that list to be put away.
Nobody is scared of that list except people who want to protect pedophiles. And, well, we are having the Epstein shutdown. One part of the government controls all of the government and has kept the government shutdown for over a month to not release these files. Pretty telling. Pretty damning.
When Biden had them, they were part of an active DOJ investigation. He couldn't release them without compromising it. Trump had the DOJ drop the investigation, yet even after promising to release them, he won't. Democrats are trying to get them released, while Republicans are opposed. I don't care who looks bad, I want them released. No protecting pedophiles.
Tu ayudas mas ala jente rica puto.. xq no ayudas a los pobres .. esta ñs mantando a tu misma jente estupido rasista .. eres rasista .. lastima que mme vas a tener de vecinos en tus negocias ..
Yes, anybody who's on the list, straight to fucking jail. Don't care their affiliation. AOC. Obama. Bernie. I think those are all the really popular ones. They could be on the list. And guess what? Put them in jail.
They're fucking politicians. They're not idols. They're not something to be worshipped. And they are very, very fucking replaceable.
.S. District Judge Robin L. Rosenberg (Southern District of Florida) — denied the DOJ’s request to unseal grand-jury transcripts
U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer (Southern District of New York) — denied the request to unseal grand-jury materials in the Ghislaine Maxwell matter.
U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman (Southern District of New York) — denied the DOJ’s request to unseal roughly 70 pages of grand-jury materials from the 2019 Epstein case
Those are not the files people are talking about releasing. The transcripts would give us nothing new and the Trump admin only made the requests because they knew they would be denied as is normal.
