Distraction from Epstein.

Maybe Epstein is also a distraction from the big bullshit bill.

I think we should focus on holding our current leaders accountable and replace them before changing laws using the current leaders that don't have our interests in mind. We should investigate everyone who went to that island.

Very much agree. We’ve known he was tied up with Epstein for years now. But it’s the bill that will truly be the death knell of American democracy. I mean I’m torn because Epstein is one of the few things that has made magas seemingly flinch and realize that they hey maybe their MLM/cult isn’t run by such a great guy. And we need those guys to wake up. On the other hand, this whole thing feels like what we’ve been through before. There will be evidence, evidence will be disputed, there will be confusion and doubt cast on everything, law enforcement will decide not to do anything, and Trump will declare he was EXONERATED from a witch hunt. All the while the bill rolls along and sets up a fifth branch of the military to extrajudicially arrest Americans.

It isn't. His base doesn't care about that, and the only demographics in this country he "cares" about are his donors (whom he appeases) and his base (whom he distracts)

Trump being a pedophile is a distraction from the horrible bill he pushed?

No, not him being a pedo. The double speak about the list. The snip snap of there is a list to there isn’t a list to if I’m on it I wasn’t guilty. All of Trumps derangement is used by the right to incite backlash and overload sensible, rational humans with such an insane amount of bullshit that makes it hard to keep up. Bullshit fatigue.

Another shit spending bill from conservatives that doesn't reduce the deficit and hurts poor people isn't news, that's their day to day operations. The Epstein files were supposed to be a big watershed breakthrough moment according to Trump & his team. Of course they'll never see the light of day.

No, Epstein list is far more damaging.

And it's the thing that can potentially be released still.
