Well at least i know that no matter what happens today im still going to get pissed off.
The only correct outcome will be a vote to release the complete, unredacted Epstein files.
I fully expect that Republicans will find a way to block it.
EDIT: good point – removing victims names is most certainly the appropriate thing to do.
So where’s the block going to be?
At the Senate? On the President’s desk? By the DOJ? Or are the files scrubbed?
One of these has to be the answer.
So sick of them just being called Epstein accusers and not Trump accusers.
I know that team Trump has been busy redacting the shit out of this, but I also know that they are incompetent, so fingers crossed they missed lots of stuff.
In before 4chan immediately copies and slightly alters the files, and Trumpers only reference the altered files despite the originals being freely available.
Unpopular opinion:
Had President Biden released it we won’t have a shameless pedophile president now.
Remember that the release is only step 1. Investigations and charges must follow.
So does Veto proof only apply to the Senate?
Or start a war to save himself , or maybe releases the files without his 11 year friendship and parties with epstein , I’m going with him starting a war , Paraguay or drugs
They’re gonna redact any republicans on the files and leave the democrats
Shit has been scrubbed for months
It’s about fucking time. Get it done.
This is one hell of a press conference. These victims are delivering powerful speeches and really standing bravely in solidarity with each other.
After everything they’ve endured, hopefully justice will finally be served to the perpetrators of the crimes.
At this point its been so sanitized we’d be better off looking for whats been omitted.
I am ready to be completely disappointed
DOJ is going to seal the files anyway as part of an “ongoing investigation “
Turns out that Epstein was the fall guy and it was all an Islamic socialist jihad transgender plot by Obama and Mamdani. Says it very clearly in ketchup. Ketchup can’t lie
Fox News is talking about much more important things…. ICE arresting a truck driver. If you can’t see the information bubble you are living in when your ‘news’ network doesn’t carry the news YOU are most interested in, you are a lost cause.
To every negative Nancy in the comments regurgitating the same “everything is scrubbed” “they cleaned it” etc comments remember that Trump has spent the last year replacing as many competent people as he could find within the biggest government institutions with loyalists and yes men.
The brain drain is very real and very big.
So sure, maybe they will be releasing “cleaned” and otherwise doctored files, but there is a hell of a non zero change that it´s been so poorly done that it will backfire hard and fast.
These mother fuckers are so lazy they work 100 days a year and start work at noon.
It’s a show until there are consequences at the top level of government. This was either incompetence or intentional and will continue to be so.
None of this is the whole truth.
This is a ruse.
POTUS has the power to release everything instantly. This charade of wending through the House and Senate is a deflection, and of course our useless and complicit media is falling for it.
The Senate still has to do something with it. And we’re post Halloween, so it’s ‘holiday season’ so we can’t possibly expect our elected officials to do something until after NYE. Anything else would be a disgrace of Jesus’ birthday!
Does this mean that child porn is going to be in the library of Congress?
It’s wild to see MTG on TV calling for unity and crossing the political isle to work with each other.
For someone I’ve always considered irredeemable, it’s a breath of fresh air. Even if only on this one topic.
