Yeah I think the better question would be, 'what have you done to help get the Epstein files released?'

"There are no files"

“There are no files. And, the names on those files don’t belong there. The Democrats put those names on those files….that don’t exist. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Did he release his tax returns like he promised to 117 times?

Did Mexico pay for the wall like he promised 228 times??

Did he end Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine within 24 hours like he said five times???

Did he “date” his daughter like he said… Oh wait, I don’t think he said “date.”

Actually, he said yes - then immediately began to equivocate like a motherfucker.

The same donald trump who would look up into your face and swear he was taller than you - the biggest liar in the entire history of US politics - even he instinctively recoiled at the very idea of the ACTUAL Epstein files (not the redacted horseshit they're working on while we speak) being made public.

He said "yes" (since lying is pure reflex for him) then immediately backtracked "well, maybe...like, you know, there could be some totally innocent trumps in there...what if my name's in there - like a LOT - and it turned out that aliens or gremlins or democrats put my name in there...then it would be totally unfair to release them"

Our president basically kidnapped the only person to be charged & convicted for all that child-trafficking and offered her a carrot/stick to keep her mouth shut. Our president was very best life-long friends with one of our most notorious child rapists.

Do you think the Republicans would change their stance now, to appease Trump?

I am under the belief that even establishment Democrats would dodge the question also because they won’t want to rile up the MAGA base or implicate Clinton. Just look at the comments from people like Nancy Pelosi who want Democrats to stop mentioning it.

Nancy Pelosi is such a pain in the neck for progressives.

Dems may not be inspiring, but they aren't trying to literally destroy the country and flush the constitution either.

You want better choices? Then we need to break the two-party system, and the only way to do that is to change the voting system at the state level to something that doesn't have a two-party equilibrium, like Maine has done.

Passivity in the face of facism is facism.

u/BaggerX 18h ago

Ok then. Ignore reality and keep letting the ones actually doing the fascism win. That has worked so well!

If you can't CLEARLY tell that the fucking book is FILLED to the brim with politicians of all affiliations from numerous countries, I'm sorry to say, you are completely ignorant to what's happening.

u/AlwysProgressing 1d ago

Hoooooolllllyyyyyyyy shit I don't think you realize how much Trump and his admin LOVES you. You are so blinded by being in the correct party that you STILL don't realize how it's an up/down issue and not left/right.

You are more important to their cause than any MAGA freak could be.

u/Nkosi868 1d ago

Not sure how you got all of that from my 2 comments.

u/AlwysProgressing 1d ago

Your first thought is "will Republicans change their stance now? Surely my party is so innocent, the reason they don't mention it and want people to stop bringing it up is because... reasons...."

u/Notsurehowtoreact 1d ago

Note, however, that in the same response he also bemoaned how "innocent"  people's names could be in those files. 

Like, yeah Donald, the innocent people mentioned in the Epstein files were the kids that you raped.
