Because why would our representatives in government do anything their constituents want? That's literally not the job. The job is to grift and collect corporate donations.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's funny that they're so frightened when the release of the files will change next-to-no-one's minds.

It's like they don't even understand what bootlicking depths their own cult is in (PROTIP: it's the same bootlicking depths every GOP congresscreature is at)

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

You're not taking into account that sitting elected officials are not the only ones listed in the files. There are no doubt some dark money financiers who would rather remain anonymous mixed in as well.

Something made Johnson change course. It wasn't merely Dump being even more obscene.

Getting this in early: Maxwell Ghislaine did not kill herself.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 57 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well.... Just saw a news blip that said the DOJ wants to meet with her.

So, I guess, yeah.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Probably to just let her go free after signing an NDA.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

So here’s a fun (/s) idea: she’s got so much leverage over trump, she can probably force him to pardon her.

I think she’d be crazy not to try that, and how will Magaworld react if he does?

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 7 points 2 days ago

Def quid pro quo and shit.

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I'm betting on her suddenly testifying before court and "bearing it all." Confessing that there really isn't any list and they blackmailed and trafficked girls but only to a few sacrificial and unimportant people. And she will conveniently walk free as part of a plea deal to be included in the deal Epstein struck in 2007.

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Gotta make some plea deals to nail the really big fish. Like people that died a while ago, under highly suspicious circumstances.

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’d be happy… if she at least named Gaetz. It might have been before his time, but he’s stayed well past his time already.

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I cannot for the life of me not think of butthead whenever I see that wanker

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 days ago

Meh, she testifies under oath it was Clinton and Obama and is magically "pardoned" by Trumpy wumpy. They find a crayon scawled note to nack that up titled "The List". 2 years later ahe "falls" from a window 20 floors up.

MAGA are relived and all is well.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 days ago

You could smell the stink of desperation on the speaker's face as he was drowning himself in flop sweat but he pulled it off just in time!

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 68 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Mike Johnson also a pedophile? Who could have guessed? How many children has he raped?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

considering he has a porn pact with his kid, I wouldn't be surprised. it's always the biggest grandstanders.

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm sorry considering he has what??

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

he said they monitor each other's phone to make sure there's no porn

[–] MamboNo5@lemmings.world 6 points 1 day ago

They watch each other to make sure they don't masturbate.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Release his browser history

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

release the Angel Eyes list

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Release Bill Stickers.

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 93 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Its all the same enemy. America has fallen. There are new masters now and we are naive sitting ducklings in the palm of their hand.

And the darkest truth is that there is no way to overcome. Their war machine owns humanity. And we led them to their power with pride and ignorance.

[–] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 59 points 2 days ago (26 children)

You say "we" when in reality it's mostly Christian fascists and rural dipshits that voted overwhelmingly for this orange New York billionaire turd to cuck them.

[–] THB@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

You'd be surprised how many minorities voted against their interests as well. I have religious family who supported this. "Latinas for Trump" was also a thing. The stupidity of the human race is really something.

The Speaker of the House just had to shut down his chamber of Congress early because people are asking him questions he doesn't want to answer, and that's a sign of mastery to you? I think this looks more like the beginning of the end.

Of course, that's probably the most dangerous phase of this because they're going to lash out like cornered animals, and what comes next could be even worse than this, so I'm not celebrating here, but calling Donald fuckin Trump master of anything just doesn't square with reality to me.

This is how the right deals with things. They block their ears and close their eyes and say "la la la. I don't see anything."

They do the same thing with the climate. "If we don't study it then we don't have to worry about any of the problems it might cause for us!"

The GOP (Guardians Of Pedophiles) doing their real job: being inhuman shit sucking scum

[–] Cryan24@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

a group of pedophiles is called an epstein of pedophiles

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 64 points 2 days ago

Maybe or maybe not pedophiles.

But definitely #1 with pedophiles.

[–] tane69@lemmy.world 54 points 2 days ago

Pedophiles defending the pedo in chief

[–] AllToRuleThemOne@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I see, again the coldplay concert incident.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

This is the one where Trump raped those kids.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 26 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Louisiana, we need to have a talk... Your dude is all in on this now and you guys really should do something about that.

[–] DetectiveNo64@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Gotta make extra time for worshipping the pedophile in charge.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 29 points 2 days ago

These are the actions of a guilty party.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Whatever happened to if you got nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about. That's a lot of extra work for nothing to hide. Honestly, at this point, im shocked they haven't just burned everything and go oops, oh well.

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

It’s funny the larger the web the bigger and harder they fall.

[–] MetalMachine 18 points 2 days ago

A nation occupied by oligarchs and israel

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

Wish I could just leave work in the middle of the dinner rush...

[–] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Nothing to see here, please disperse. Absolutely nothing to see here.
