Release the Trump/Epstein files
So release the rest of the stuff so we can all focus on that instead
I am so goddamned sick of hearing about fucking transgender athletes, Nancy, but your cult wouldn’t shut the fuck up about it for months and months to get elected
Have they considered not supporting a rapist, pedophile con-man?
Keep it up. We're starting to get to them!
They want to go back to attacking trans people for no reason.
Did they ever stop?
must be super frustrating when you keep cooking up distractions but they keep asking about it
Well there's one easy way to make those questions stop...
Oh, so you're tired of being asked why you're openly defending pedophiles and refusing to hold them accountable? Life is hard. These republicans have got it rough, let me tell you.
Then, do your job or leave office!
"We're trying to find all these pedophiles"
So just impeach him then.
Damn, that's sucks for you. Where are the fucking files?
"Man covered in blood sick of being asked about blood soaked knives in locked cabinet in home" ?
At some point the fault is no longer with that man alone. The inaction of the state to bring justice makes it at fault too. And at some point it is no longer just the state either but the inactions of the general people as well.
The only justice that will ever be carried out against these pedophiles will be if the guillotine blade drops.
Remember, the Biden administration sat on these files for four years while they carried out a genocide in Gaza. The victims of Epstein and his rich pedophile friends will see as much justice as the children that starved in Gaza last night.
If all the "opposition" ever does is point to things they are only there to give the delusion that justice is being done.
And at some point it is no longer just the state either but the inactions of the general people as well.
Historically, the US, and it's citizens, have been just dandy with pedophilia being normal, and encouraged.
I'm so goddamn sick of them protecting child molesters.
I think child rapists is a more fitting term.
I am inclined to agree.
We don't care. Show us what we all know to be true. Show us trumps pedo adventures with is butt buddy epstein.
As a Republican Voter I'm ALSO tired of Being asked why the President Raped Children. It was YEARS ago! Those Children are ADULTS now! WHO CARES?
-People who believe in Pizzagate!
Don't forget that they probably still talk about "The Clinton Body Count", Whitewater, Vince Foster, Filegate, Travelgate, and other totally stupid shit from the 90s that the black helicopter crowd were all worked up about for most of that decade...
But what about her emails????? ??? ! +=:_?
Well, we’re sick of asking. Release the files, you fuckers.
They and only they can solve this problem by impeaching Trump.
They won't because they'd rather play the victim than admit because the congestive load of accepting they are the victimizers would cause them to increment our nation's climbing suicide rate.
They won't because they'd rather play the victim
I often find myself in political discussions with Republican voters, for some of them, this is spot on.
One of the most flawed arguments I have heard is that the Republican Party wants to release the Epstine files, but they can't because of the Democrats.
When I pointed out that they control all branches of government, and the only way they Democrats would be able to prevent them from doing that is if elected Republican representatives chose to vote against it, I was told it was still the Democrats fault... because they would cancel and persecute anyone even remotely associated with the people on that list.
The ones who still support their party's leadership and direction are clearly master gymnasts im dodging accountability and performing as the victim. It's not the Republicans' fault— It's the Democrats fault. And when it's not the Democrats' fault, it's still the Democrats fault, but for a different reason.
I witnessed a MAGA jackass, completely unprovoked, assault a navy vet with a US flag on Labor Day.
And then as he was being handcuffed I heard all about how he wasn't at fault.
This is how republicans run Texas. They've had a stranglehold on Texas politics for decades and yet still blame anything bad on democrats, woke, and sustainable energy. They blamed the freeze on windmill farms, for fucks sake.
Well, maybe they should stop covering for him and lying about it and gaslighting about it?
Just a thought.
At this point what are we waiting for? We know Trump is in those files. We know he rapes women of all ages. We know the entire Republican party has decided to try and cover that up while preaching about family values and other things incompatible with protecting pedophiles.
It seems like we're waiting for permission to do something but they're clearly never going to admit wrong doing and we already have all the knowledge needed to make a decision anyway so I can't figure out why we're all expecting this to happen or what we think will change if it does. We should just do today whatever we think we would do the day after they admit Trump is a pedophile because that's clearly never going to happen.
It is a sound bite that is hard for House Republicans to run from. Republicans have decent responses to most of Trump's political actions for their base, even if the responses are outright lies.
Then stop protecting pedophiles! Didn't QAnon start because of alleged liberal pedophiles? It's obvious now that is was Republican pedophiles all along.
It was always a Republican pedo diversion. Pizzagate started in response to Trump's child rape accusations getting media coverage.
To be fair, it seems more like a rich asshole thing, than a political affiliation thing strictly speaking, but there definitely seems to be a strong Republican bias to the perpetrators. I mean, I think even Donald was technically a Democrat during the birthday card period unless I'm mistaken.
Edit:
Republican (1987–1999): Trump first registered as a Republican in 1987.
Reform Party (1999–2001): In 1999, he left the Republican Party and joined the Reform Party, even forming an exploratory committee for a potential presidential run in 2000.
Democrat (2001–2009): He changed his registration to Democrat in 2001.
Republican (2009–2011): He switched back to the Republican Party in 2009.
Unaffiliated (2011–2012): Trump briefly registered with no political party in 2011.
Republican (2012–present): He rejoined the Republican Party in 2012, ahead of the 2012 presidential primary, and has remained a Republican since.
The card is from 2003, so during his Democrat phase. Though it's pretty clear the man has no actual actual convictions (so to speak) and just does whatever he feels is personally adventageous at any given moment.

I see Mace's "panic attack" didn't last very long.
Everyday its like. Do your job. WTF! Just pay me and shut up.
Play pedo games, win pedo prizes.
No, GOP, that was a warning, not an instruction! Get away from those schools.
Part of the whole "trans women in bathrooms" schtick is to make official jobs of child genital inspectors. What could possibly go wrong, when you have a bunch of old, white men inspecting the genitals of children?
Then don't back a fucking pedophile. It's that simple
I wouldn't let a republican clean up toxic waste for fear of contaminating the waste.
Well, when a dipshit sends something THAT ominous and creepy, it doesn't just go away, no matter how short the average American's memory for events is.
Maybe don't support a pedophile then? Just sayin.
It must be rough to be hated by 90% of the world and everyone wants you to stub your toe every night for the rest of your life.
Good job GOP, you are protecting the pedophiles and destroying america at the same time. Great multitasking!
Elect a rapist get fucked.
I don’t fucking care what you’re fucking sick of, Nancy. Shut your fucking mouth and release the fucking Epstein files!
It's almost as if those people run for office for themselves, not for the people they should be representing. That's ass backwards at the highest level. There should be some form of cleansing the "look at me" politicians without waiting for the next goddamn election. A legal way though, until we absolutely need to fight fire with fire.
Damn, that sucks. I'm sick of the US being ruled by a cabal of demented fascists and listening to the spineless traitors who are enabling them complaining about being expected to do the bare minimum of their fucking jobs, maybe there's a common solution to all this?
It sure sucks that these public fucking servants have to answer questions, what an annoyance! There are real child rapists and traffickers out there, just like Epstein. And there are real victims, who had their lives destroyed. Think of them when we pursue the truth and try to get justice...
