It won't lead to shit. We know he's on there. They know he's on there. But for some reason they wanna felate an old crusty fat ugly demented moronic mans mushroom no matter if he's a rapist or not. Hell, I wouldn't doubt it if that knowledge turns them on more...

#WikiLeaksEpsteinFiles
Maybe after Trump and everyone else on the list is dead and gone maybe then the list will come out. But even that is very unlikely.
Why didn't Biden release it?
Is he or one of his family members on the list? Well I mean he already pardoned his son, so I have no doubt he abused his position of power to protect someone.
This is what happens when people don't vote in primaries. Now I'm not even sure there will be a next election.
Probably because there are Democrats on there as well
I've got two minds on this. On the one hand, that's a great and valid question. Why didn't they? They should've.
On the other hand, this is yet another infuriating case of playing DIRECTLY into the GOPs hands. We have such an OBVIOUS, BLATANT cover up by Trump to avoid all consequences, yet we're here asking "but why didn't Biden do it?????? His fault actually" and in that light, I don't fucking care, focus on the current guy
The reason is, because obviously trump was not going to do it. So Biden was the only path way. Except… well dnc party doaners are also on the list, so of course Biden wasn't going to release it.
I want all the names. Not just trump.
Trump could be on video r**ing a 12 year old while Epstein holds her down and suddenly pedophilia would be the biggest republican trend. (I mean it kind of already is when you look at who gets caught most often)
The narrative has been changing slowly over time.
And there has been at least one public case involving him and Epstein.
We all know he's guilty, and there is no way he is going to self-incriminates himself. The Epstein files will never see the light of day unless someone leaks them.
If this shit is releasable like that, then why didn't Biden do it? Fuck trump, maga, conservatives, etc. but why is it such an L that Trump predictably tries to make it go away but it's fine that when the Ds had the WH they didn't do shit?
Each side is just playing this performative 'release the list!!!!' when they aren't in power. Disgusting no matter who is hiding this shit.
both parties are severely compromised.
that's why.
rich and powerful are all the same scum. just one is openly racist, and the other one is more closeted racist.
You consider the Democratic party to be racist? How so? I mean, you said they're in the closet about it, but still, I just don't see it. They're corrupt as fuck, yeah, but racist?
Not OP but I would say the white savior complex is racist and it is less overtly used on the left but it is still used.
I dont think they are like the rural lynch mob level of racist, but more like the classmate that makes racist "jokes" then be like "it's just a joke, man" type of racist.
I can say I've not seen a single political party try to do anything about the systemic racism and race oppression in this nation, in my life time. 8 years with a black president doesn't mean anything when the national standard is still to oppress minorities. So no, they aren't out here calling people slurs, but they certainly aren't doing anything to improve it and that makes them guilty enough.
remember when they were all in favour of BLM and defund the police but all they didnwas raise police budgets?
or completely ignore and promote systemic racism sonthe US schools are now more segregated than during Jim Crow?
They are there to basically do nothing and protect the status quo that conservatives are creating.
lets not forget how much they care when a white nation is invaded, but when a brown nation is invaded and genocided it is time to supply weapons to facilitate that genocide?
Or when they cried about how cruel Trump was for putting children in concentration camps, but even Biden won, he continued the program because fuck brown children?
yhea, Democrats are purely performative closeted conservatives. while republicans are openly conservatives.
It's probably a pile of ash in Patel's back yard by now. Nothing to see here.
Good lord they're stupid.
Who fucking cares? What is it going to do really? There has been so much publicity of their relationship, it doesn't change anything. Will it result in charges against Trump? Unlikely, the only one I know of who was willing to put herself and her family at risk, is dead (suicide).
His supporters will find a way to excuse anything away. There could be a picture of Trump assaulting a young teen and they would just say it's not his fault she looked older than she was.
To those in this thread saying anything released shouldn't be redacted, remember there were victims, this wasn't just Jeff and Don having a brobait with each other.
I'm sick of the Democrats and their shitty platitudes, because that's all this is. Demand compassion and due process for the millions being terrified by federally protected kidnappers. Demand that Republicans meet to discuss the phasing out of some of the TPS rules (temporary is in the name and just because there is an EO doesn't mean there can't be a law that changes it). Demand that we stop defending the atrocities of megalomaniacs around the world. Demand that the legislative branch takes back the power of the purse and writes laws to affect trade.
Might be the only time I agree with the ball of congealed Cheeto vomit, but why the fuck are we still talking about Epstein?
Everyone here will complain no matter what the dems do, especially after not giving them power to do anything tangible.
Apologists forget that Dems held majority at various times and squandered it.
They had their time to be good people and do the right things. Instead they paved way for fascism in their service to capital.
Everyone complaining about the various things the Dems do is reflective of people seeing them for the farce that they are. In essence, they are controlled resistance - a black hole to swallow up progressive movements and snuff them out before it threatens anything economically.
Let's see- passed the ACA which wasn't great but did so with the bare majority they had. IRA during Biden which passed by the skin of its teeth. Of course DoJ should've done way more, etc. but that, forgiving as much student loans as Biden could, IRA was the biggest climate bill ever, etc.
Sure- it wasn't perfect but I don't think they "squandered" it at all.
But hey- it obviously wasn't enough so it was only right to not vote in LOCAL primaries, etc. and not vote in the general election for Democrats so the Republicans could take yet another wrecking ball to everything. SURELY the goals of liberals and progressives are much closer now that Republicans have power again.
We can argue about what is "squandered" or not, but ultimately it's a subjective word.
To the point of Dems being controlled opposition and relating your example of the ACA: single payer was always an option and one that people were interested in, but capital interests (whom both parties serve) decided it wasn't going to happen. Then an "American" solution was devised (ACA) which attempted to improve some things. So we got neither of the supposed benefits of either model, and instead ended up with more of a convoluted system that has the alleged benefits of neither. Ultimately it did nothing to alter the course of the healthcare system at large, and here we are in 2025 and the system remains as a tool to extract profit from sick people. People still choose between medicine or rent or food in this country.
Sure ACA doesn't allow the pre-existing condition thing that insurers did for a long time. But the mandate to get people insured made dollar signs pop into the eyes of capitalists. Overall, they saw a situation where they came out ahead, so that's what they allowed to happen.
These laws are passed in the interest of capital first, politics second, and common people third. It's the common trends of agency capture, lobbying, campaign donations, regulatory mingling, privatization, and many other practices that exemplify this as the de facto standard that both of the major parties participate in. And this is how they pave the way for fascism - by encouraging and playing along with the ongoing fusion of state and capital. Both parties drop bombs on brown kids, both build cages and walls (literally and figuratively), both seek to extract wealth from the rest of the world, both subsidize private industry, and both are completely fine with the wealthy and powerful dictating or influencing almost every aspect of our lives in pursuit of profit.
So yeah, it's squandered opportunity in my eyes because in the grand scheme of things Democrats seek to appease an advantaged class (not you and me) to the detriment of a disadvantaged class.
And I know you'll be looking around for an example here and there to defend these politicians - save your energy. You need to look at the common trajectory of both of these parties. You can find examples of Republicans doing a good thing or two here and there as well. But again, when the chips are down they'll all side with the forces that wanna squeeze every drop of blood from every turnip in this world. When tensions rise they might throw you a bone or two to keep you quiet and going to work - after all, someone's gotta build those bombs and guns and it sure as hell isn't gonna be them.
Who fucking cares? Obviously a lot of people troll. Donald stated he was going to release it… Bimbo Bondi stated it was on her desk… getting released soon. Now they don’t want it released. We know his name and other Dems are on it. We’ve seen many pictures released with him and Donald together with girls.
Yeah.. we care.
Demand compassion and due process for the millions being terrified by federally protected kidnappers...
And demand it with loud, coordinated, unifier voices. Do it unequivocally. None of this single statement, some "concern", some calling for vague "resistance", etc. Being weak and disorganized will do nothing.
release the whole darn thing, no redacted.
Redact the victims' names but that's it.
Publicly release all documents in the Epstein files that mention or reference Donald Trump.
Why not release the whole thing? :^)
That would ruin the bit.
Because Democrats are not your friends, and this is just another attempt to keep up the illusion that they fight on our behalf.
plus, they don't want the stuff with their names released.
Why not ask for this before they all of a sudden don't exist? Almost like it's stagecraft.
Because Bondi said it was on her desk for review in February.
Biden's admin didn't tamper with the DoJ, to a fault, since Garland was slow-walking everything related to Trump
Maxwell is still in prison and she knows a lot. I bet Trump has her killed next.
