Someone is abusing people en masse to… distract from their prior abuse of people? No, he’s just continuing to be the same horrible person, supported by other horrible people, as he was before.

The fanfare around the Epstein Files at the exclusion of all else (“This is a distraction from the Epstein files!”) is the zombified corpse of the Mueller Investigation fanfare walking again. They want us to believe that, instead of the masses making history, somehow suits in Washington (many of the same ones who help keep the lights on for ICE) releasing more details of Trump’s past abuses will put an end to his regime’s abuses. They want us to believe this even when during the Biden years they dragged their feet on prosecuting him and didn’t throw him in a cell, plus giving many of his Jan. 6th rioters exceptionally nice treatment in federal prison if they did get locked up.

    Yeah, it’s lame, Trump would still be doing all this stuff if Epstein had never existed.

    However, the Epstein issue has strong traction across the political board. He even lost MTG and Boobert over it, so there must be many many others who weren’t nearly as committed.

    So, as tiring as it is, we need to keep hammering it every day between now, and whenever we can truly take action on this issue, which will probably be a long time from now.

    For me, it sits near the top of the pile, along with his Insurrection, his stolen classified documents, and the family separation policy. We’ll get to them, eventually, one way or another.
