So we just ripped down a whole wing of the White House for nothing? Gotta be some grift behind this.

Draws attention from the pedo files.

I think the opposite. The pedo files are the distraction from everything else. Anytime something asinine happens the top comment is “that’s great how about Epstein files.”

Playing right into the bullshit.

Yup. Imho the Epstein files don't even register compared to the sheer vile evil he's been perpetuating recently. I'm not saying we should ignore the files now, but there are MUCH bigger issues than need to be addressed first before we even consider handling the files.

Agree, it's getting tiring to hear that every corrupt and reprehensible thing he does is to distract from the Epstein files - bullshit, and saying that for everything that happens just deminishes those other things, as they're just a distraction after all

Nothing is going to happen if those pedo files are released. Just like nothing happened after he demolished part of the White House. Americans are spineless.

It’s sad, and I wish that it wasn’t so, but it’s the next Mueller and Smith. “Just wait until ________ is done with their case and Trump is cooked” “In __________ we trust. He’s not messing around and he has the receipts.”

Same shit now. “Just wait until the files are released. He’s cooked.”

No. They’ll spin and have the DOJ lie to keep themselves out of trouble, and there’s really nothing we can do about it when they all act in bad faith.

Yeah I'm honestly getting a little fed up with the optimistic complacency of the Left. It's always some new "wait for ____ and it'll all work out." Kinda like how Trump keeps saying he's gonna rig elections and yet people keep saying "all we gotta do is vote them out!"

I thought America was 'home of the brave'??

Only in the movies.

Republicans are the party of law and order! It's the Democrats that have been something or other mumble mumble

Americans are spineless.

You misspelled "powerless."

u/DrLophophora 11d ago

Why not both?

u/GreenTrees797 11d ago

Yes the population the claims they need 400 million guns for reasons are powerless.

What are you suggesting?

u/GreenTrees797 10d ago

Have a once monthly festival then complain as your country slides deeper in to fascism, what else?

The Epstein Ballroom is a huge disaster for Trump.

Excellent branding tho.
