In 2024, voters signaled that they don't care about corruption when they reelected the most corrupt administration in American history. Since then, there has been a widespread understanding that the rich will not face consequences in this country. For example, take a look at the Trump administration's suppression of the Epstein files. Or the Trump families cryptocurrency schemes. Or the ridiculous ballroom. Anyway, the point is - there will be no justice until the citizens of the united states demand it.

  This is rage bait and isn't worth spending any oxygen on it.

  probably this, since it was 7 years after he was convicted for prostituting a minor, so its hard to believe any excuse saying they didn't know his background: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/epstein-secret-pic-wild-dinner-205453585.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/epstein-secret-pic-wild-... Also that there are over 2,000 emails with Peter Thiel. Or maybe the part where Sergey Brin was helping Epstein shop for an aircraft carrier (also after conviction). Honestly it was incredibly revealing that none of these people care that he raped kids. I would love to see the Trump files which were withheld but clearly thats never gonna happen. Anyway, congrats to everyone involved on the MAGA golden age!

    It’s terrible that Epstein did that. And Thiel is a really odd duck, that’s for sure. Do you have any evidence that files related to Trump were held back? I don’t believe that’s the case. He’s mentioned in many of the files. I found it particularly interesting that Trump was an FBI informant that worked with the government to get Epstein convicted. Have you done more than Trump has done to stop human trafficking? If so, please be specific. And thank you. I’m really happy that Trump was elected. I found this year’s tax credits for social security income, overtime, and car payments on American vehicles to be especially great. Most favored nation drug pricing was also a really impressive achievement!

      There is zero evidence Trump informed the FBI about Epstein. Trump was Epstein's close friend for many years. There are many photos of Trump partying with Epstein and young women. It is impossible that Trump did not know what Epstein was up to. At a minimum, he knew about tremendous abuse of children and did nothing to stop it, despite being a wealthy and powerful man. At worst, he fully participated. Fuck you and your willingness to be misled.

        There is evidence that Trump informed the FBI and local law enforcement about Epstein. You may not find it convincing, but the two aren’t mutually exclusive. History is an ordered list. Yes, Trump was friends with Epstein for a number of years. But then what happened? Yes, Trump knew Epstein was a creep. The documentation indicates that he did do something about it. You can yell at me and be rude all you’d like though. This is the internet after all.

        If I was a rich and powerful person, and my rich friend was running a child sex trafficking ring, I would stop being friends with that person, immediately, once I knew about it. It's extremely clear that Trump did not do that. He continued the friendship. What would you do in that situation? I'd burn that friend to the ground, legally, socially, every way I could. I certainly wouldn't still be hanging around with him, talking about how cool he is, etc. Your standards for human behavior suck.

  https://www.readtangle.com/the-everything-everywhere-all-at-once-corruption-story/?ref=tangle-newsletter https://www.readtangle.com/the-everything-everywhere-all-at-... This article doesn’t even remotely itemize all of Trumps corruption, but it’s long and extremely damning. I would hope that anyone still supporting this administration reads this article and does some introspection on why. I’m guessing that ship probably sailed 6 years ago, though.

    None of that is really very damning at all. I was excited to support Trump from day one. When people claimed he supported white supremacy, and it turned out that he condemned it out loud in press conferences countless times, I stopped taking the criticism too seriously. The Russian agent allegations increased my skepticism. Then when his opposition claimed he instructed the nation to inject bleach I just tuned it out for good. None of it is real. Egg prices were the big issue until they drastically decreased. It will be the same with gas prices.

    It is a leap of faith that they are speaking in good faith as a useful idiot.
    - solid_fuel 6mo ago
      Granted, it’s far more likely that they don’t believe a single word of the drivel they’ve been spreading across this forum, but regardless of intentionality the result is the same.

      I’m simply a regular guy who got exactly what I wanted when Trump was elected. Of course I’m speaking in good faith. That’s why misguided, bad faith participants flag my reasonable remarks or send insults instead of staying on topic. It’s just emotional meltdowns.

        Many people also got exactly what they wanted when slavery was legal or when your elected officials had sex with children. There has been justification for both with "reasonable" remarks about eugenics and girls maturing faster. I think you know what you want and just don't care about other people if it helps you specifically.

        Which of my elected officials “had sex” with children? In my Republican-led state of Florida, we give the death penalty to people who do that. Why don’t they do that in California? As for human trafficking in general, Trump has objectively enabled ICE, the FBI and others to aggressively target that sort of behavior. As for slavery, the US is one of the countries that fought a war to end that thousands of years old practice. Anyway, I like Trump, and by all accounts, that goes against the grain. You’re going expressly WITH the grain. That doesn’t indicate that had you been born in the 1600’s you’d have spoken out about slavery. You’re a with the grain guy. And with the grain guys will go along with whatever the moral consensus of the times are.
