How about Biden should do it.

Why are the Epstein files classified?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Because of ongoing investigations into the people allegedly involved in the cases that may have come to light. It could take many years before the entirety of the files are declassified. (At least the ones we actually have.)

Also, rich people and money. But we're not supposed to say that out loud.

Because it full of billionaires names on it.

She should. She won't, but she should.

Nobody ever will. It will implicate people at every station of power in the US and other countries, it will show just how many sick fucks are running our world, it will make a large number of wealthy or famous figures who have ever railed against child abuse or social issues into a potential criminal rapist.

And this is one person, one island, one set of files and documents.

The world is vast, and the several hundreds or thousands of people involved in this case are just a fraction of what really happens all day, every day, both in and out of US culture.

If I was her I would say that I would. I'd say something like "The Epstein files? Oh yeah, I read them, I will be releasing them so America knows who, and what these sick bastards have done"

Wait did Kammala actually say she'd do it?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Probably not, a lot of people are projecting stuff on her that she won't ever do.

Wishful thinking. Hopefully the female prosecutor seeks justice against the rich men who abused children.

Huh? Is it loss?

Trump is against releasing the Epstein files?

Weird.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

There is so much wealth backing up the incentive to never disclose the contents of the known files that someone like Trump can literally just babble about being uncomfortable disclosing the contents in the most guilt-steeped, incriminating way imaginable (as he did) and even face backlash for it by millions, and STILL the news cycle will bury it, nobody will be allowed to question him on it, it will disappear like everything else that could potentially harm the wealthy.

It's wild how many people on the right are still locked into a fantasy world belief about rings of powerful cultists kidnapping children to perform rituals and drain their essences like some kind of Indiana Jones movie... meanwhile they are sending money to the very people who sponsor the world's most elite and expensive child-sex-trafficking operations.

They rather the darkness of the world be packaged into some kind of fantasy-scape Hollywood narrative so that it's easier to dismiss and not actually worry about, something that can be set down and walked away from the way you would a bad movie. This preserves the emotions and assuages the fears and guilt.
