What they describe is not politics.
Its systemic abuse, trafficking, threats, and dehumanization of underage girls carried out by powerful, wealthy men who believed they were untouchable.
Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and an entire ecosystem of rich donors and political protectors are implicated not by rumor, but by sworn testimony.
Trump would burn this country to the ground before allowing full accountability.
And the Republican Party has every incentive to help him because donor money, power, and proximity to these crimes matter more to them than justice.
This isnt left vs right.
This is power vs humanity.
The women and girls named in these files deserve justice.
Silence protects predators. Exposure is the only path forward.

(103 posts)For the 20 something youngsters (male) to witness this is beyond the pale ,there has to be humiliating public punishment like the Lincoln assassination or Nuremberg Gallows.
Maybe castration, after a fair public trial 20 at a time .
He could be impeached in 2 weeks just as fast as we went to war except his jury might have so many congressmen involved with the trump/ Epstein rape club they can't make a quorum.

(8,770 posts)Epstein accountability for him? More GOPrs may have room to take him down via exposure.

(149 posts)Yet Republican congressmen still support, will not impeach him. How low our country has sunk. And the idiotic "religious" nuts who think he is doing gods will are truly deplorable. In my mind, they are literally worshipping satan.

(181 posts)the little blacked out words in the files` just carefully released (drip drip ) are exposed. How can a prosecution proceed without a victim and a perpetrator? Horrific, yes, but just more expressions of outrage, sound, and fury bemoaning a lack of concrete action.

(22,482 posts)You're right about the little blacked out words, but I'm pretty sure those words will stay blacked out until he's no longer potus. "His" DOJ takes orders from him, and no one else, and will continue to do so as long as he's in charge. If Bondi was to leave or get fired, he'd just appoint another sycophant who would continue shielding him the way she's doing now.

I agree, remove the redactions, and let justice serve these ruthless people.
