Not in the Epstein files yet. Aren't there still like 90% not released or some shit?

Btw, why are we assuming Epstein was the only pedo honeypot ring in the world? Forget the likelihood that he and his handlers had, and likely still have, conspirators (who may or may not have even been known to each other, and their affiliation together may or may not have been known by the pedos they blackmailed), on top of that other agencies might have much the same program copied or completely unaffiliated from The -stein. It's entirely possible that while Biden avoided "Epstein" because of his open affiliations with political opposition, he was a great friend of "Frankenstein" on Big St. Jiminez island who hasn't been caught yet.

TBH against the current POTUS, even a dead possum is a better fit.

Hate this guy and most things he did. But I seem to remember him being the first president to finally stop our intervention in the middle east in 20 years.

Oh but that made peeps mad too so, what do they even want really?

I’d say things would be a lot better over there now had the election gone differently.

The way the establishment media "on both sides of the isle" in the US threw a fit when Biden committed to leaving Afghanistan was such clear proof corporate media is obsessed with war at a spiritual level. Yes it has to do with corruption and narrative collusion, but also there has got to be something about dressing up in a fancy suit and telling the world why war is necessary and how awful it is that makes people think "The world needs ME, this job is vitally important!" and makes them lose their shit when anyone tries to question the moral underpinning of a conflict they are in the process of rationalizing.

From the point of view of establishment media, to question whether a war is just is to utterly miss the point of war itself.

Yeah that shit was wild. The sheer pearl-clutching at the prospect of having left some busted ass C130s or that the region NEEDED us there.

This whole world police thing is like an addiction. Notice how half a decade later we're scraping the bag, sizing up other places to go liberate. My country's been doing this for more years than I've been alive, I'm tired boss

Honestly when you see that certain groups will never be happy no matter what you do it makes you understand why in general they are ignored.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

The secret is, you can make a population incredibly unhappy just by saying stuff on feeds that they read. It doesn't even have to make sense, just appeal to whatever frustration the target demographic is feeling that day.

This is how millions of Obama voters and other liberals and even progressives decided "lets give this Trump guy a shot" despite him having served a term already that was terrible.

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 35 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

He also did not release the files or prosecute anyone in there

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 33 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, but did you hear the Dow is at 50000?

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 25 points 7 hours ago

Standard-issue POTUS, if you will.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

He could have released the Epstein files but didn't.

He found have had the DOJ investigate them, he could have followed up on things, but he didn't.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Ya, but historically the potus isn't supposed to meddle with the doj. The doj should just be prosecuting who they feel broke the law and they have a case against, in a non political way.

[–] Postimo@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah guys, we wouldn't want to politicize the global elite pedophile ring with patrons from both parties. You're just not supposed to meddle like that. Can you imagine the backlash if they had acted on this put people in prison for the things found in the Epstein files?

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Well, if the president pressured the doj to go after particular individuals (like the orange moron has done), then they could be accused of using the doj as a political revenge weapon (like the orange moron has done). In a perfect world, the doj would go after the elite criminals on their own, and they're was probably influence from lots of places (including top democrats) to not, and that is a problem of course, but not provable. But directing them to attack particular people is possibly worse as it threatens democracy.

[–] Postimo@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 hours ago

then they could be accused of using the doj as a political revenge

So what

they’re was probably influence from lots of places (including top democrats) to not

Can we at least agree that this is more likely the reason they've continued to not touch the Epstein case?

But directing them to attack particular people is possibly worse as it threatens democracy.

One, I specifically said both parties, so it's not "particular people". Two, It is not more democratic to let a traitors and pedophiles free because it's bad optics to choose a department head that actually wants to stop the massive crimes at the highest levels of society.
