So with The War having ground to an unsatisfactory halt, they're now releasing distraction #2. I wonder how many will be needed between now and November?
Convince me I'm wrong.

- pear01 5mo agoThey will never release them. The distraction will morph into all the electoral subterfuge they will attempt as they increasingly fear losing power at the polls. They know what's in those files and what will happen to them if they lose in 2028. Thus they will be even more incentivized to behave badly. If gas prices double from here it will be less stupid distraction and more overt authoritarianism... the ICE question has not been settled. ICE is still violating your neighbors and making a mockery of what is supposed to be a society of free people. They merely thought the overt city takeovers and shooting Americans in the head had become a bad look that wasn't worth it politically. The persistence of this calculus is not inevitable.

- jazzyjackson 5mo agoAs of March 18, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported that 46 people died while in their custody or detention facilities since the start of the second Trump administration in January 2025. The number of deaths of people in detention during 2025 exceeded the highest seen in over two decades, and deaths in 2026 are on track to meet or exceed that number. President Trump implemented immigration policy changes focused on increasing interior enforcement efforts to support mass deportation, which increased the number of immigrants detained by ICE to over 68,000 as of February 7, 2026, an increase of over 70% from the 39,000 immigrants held in detention at the end of the Biden administration in December 2024. https://www.kff.org/racial-equity-and-health-policy/deaths-and-health-care-issues-in-ice-detention-centers-under-the-second-trump-administration/ https://www.kff.org/racial-equity-and-health-policy/deaths-a...

- vkou 5mo agoThe distraction is not releasing them. If there was enough shit in the files for a conviction, the previous administration would have prosecuted. They were sealed from the public not from the DOJ. The reality is that there's no shortage of dirt in them (that likely doesn't pile up to guilt beyond a reasonable doubt), but his base doesn't care, and will never care.
- lenerdenator 5mo agoThere's likely enough for more convictions, but two things: 1) Maxwell was under prosecution at the time, so some of it was related to that. 2) The kind of people being mentioned as potential indictees are the kind who can do something about it.
- vkou 5mo agoCo-conspirators are prosecuted in parallel or semi-parallel all the time, without waiting for the core prosecution to conclude. There was no reason for why the administration had to wait for the files to be unsealed to go after anyone it wanted to. Unsealing them only makes the records available to the public at large, not the rest of the DOJ.
- lenerdenator 5mo ago1) They're not co-conspirators under indictment. It's hard enough getting one conviction on this sort of thing without the likes of Les Wexner throwing a wrench in the process. And to be fair, it seems to have worked: Maxwell seems to be the only person anywhere to be tried, convicted, and incarcerated for the sex trafficking portion of Epstein's operation. The UK has only indicted Andrew and Peter Mandelson for their mishandling of state secrets. 2) The people mentioned as co-conspirators do have the resources to make this "go away" in the realest terms. This is a KGB-like circle of accountability. They don't have to rely on lone wolves with questionable mental state to make their problems disappear. They've got the connections and resources to get a professional to do it, through bribery, intimidation, or worse.

- lenerdenator 5mo agoThat actually wouldn't be a distraction. More than anything, that's the one thing that they want to avoid. That's something that's radicalized at least one person into doing something rash and could radicalize more.

- SV_BubbleTime 5mo agoAre you talking about Virginia where their constitution requires two legislature votes and an election between changing district maps? A fact everyone knew before attempting a redistricting to eliminate Republicans seats by forcing six districts to run through Fairfax… Or are you talking about something else?

- ok_dad 5mo agoThere’s also all the crime trump and his cronies are trying to distract from that they’re doing by ignoring laws and taking bribes and stuff.
- SV_BubbleTime 5mo agoYeah, but like whatabout…

- marshray 5mo agoConspicuously missing in your argument is a link to a credible source with any evidence (or even 1st person testimony). It should be easy. Instead, I just see elaborate narratives about political motivations and garbage evidence like that laughably low-effort fake video presented in Congress by Representatives.
- keepamovin 5mo agoLol, what? Reads as zany non-sequitur in context - did you reply right? Your frame that any timing of this drop is disputed and requires evidence, I reject. If you say precisely which phrases you felt that about, your comment might be better.
- marshray 5mo agoOh, you were joking? Sorry, I encounter someone who believes exactly what you wrote at least once a week.
- keepamovin 5mo agoHaha Nooo, lol, not joking at all! And no, you do not encounter such as there's no person like me and you don't know me. You tried to fit a real person into a stand-in category in your head you're already tired of arguing with :) I get if you wanna pretend a joke to avoid dealing directly, as you've done here. Very crab like! Little crab. One would think a crab so experienced would be more deft at directness lol

- hakrgrl 5mo agoThe amount of coordination it takes to release these files, coupled with the incompetence of government. The prosaic explanation is the more likely one, meaning the events are unrelated.
- staplers 5mo agoYou've mistaken indifference with inability. The government can absolutely get something done very quickly if certain people wish. There are numerous examples.
- 2ndorderthought 5mo agoThis is what they do Everytime things are going really bad. "Oh btw aliens!?". It's a psyop so people appeal to higher powers and feel that the government is keeping them safe. Truth is if aliens ever made contact with the us, the representatives would be trying to sell us for alien weapons they could use to go kill whatever remains that they don't like at any given moment.
- snarfy 5mo agoIt has no purpose to release militarily. This only weakens the US position. Know their enemies know their detection capabilities.
- skeeter2020 5mo agoNot only that, it's always done so poorly. At this point I'd be more impressed and outraged with a psyop done well, with a clever (i.e. any) strategy and quality execution. This is not it.
- ncr100 5mo agoSeems like distractions ...I can't convince you there that the administration's focus on what I would consider low hanging and unimportant ways to make the world a better place not a distraction from the Epstein files and the idea that we have people who are actively in power in our Western societies who are child molesters and human traffickers.
