If the Epstein stuff is what finally brings down Trump, it would be peak irony. Its a low bar, but at least some of these MAGA ding dongs draw a line at diddling children.
I honestly thought there was no line for MAGA at this point.
I mean, I don't think they do draw that line; 47% of Republicans would still vote for Trump even if Trump were implicated in Epstein's sex-trafficking activities – and those are just the ones who answered brazenly and honestly on the survey, to say nothing of those who say one thing in public and do another when nobody's looking.
Forty-seven percent of Republican respondents said such a revelation would not affect their vote, though based on other polling data this appears to reflect voter loyalty more than approval of the alleged actions.
Hate to tell ya MAGA, but voting for pedophiles is the same thing as approving of their actions.
Hate to tell ya. They know.
There's still a billion-odd self-identified Catholics despite kiddy-diddling scandals and cover ups one after another. People are fine with criminals if they're their criminals.
hell, I know folk who stay catholic even though it happened in their family. belief is weird.

I have kind of tuned out of this iteration of the Epstein scandal. Why would it bring him down now? Is there really any new information? Everyone with a brain knew he was friends with Epstein and on the list. Americans voted him in twice anyways. Why does it suddenly matter now?
Trump campaigned on releasing the list, likely because Trump and Epstein ran competing human trafficking organizations.
Epstein had MC2 modeling, and Trump had T Management.
But both used the same recruiter in Eastern Europe.
There's likely more ties as well. But you can sort of see how Trump thought he was Scott Free on this one.
Now, prior to them opening up modeling agencies, Trump and Epstein had been thick as thieves, so there might also be old files that Epstein kept.
Anyway it all comes down to Trump literally running on releasing the files, and then quickly walking that back when he found out how many times he was mentioned.

Don't assume there is a line. Most of those MAGA numbskulls are armed to the teeth, yet neither Trump nor any of his less-well-protected henchmen are dead yet. So I guess kiddie stuff is mildly okay for the MAGA dumdums - or at least not really anything to get truly worked up over...
I wonder what Trump the pedophile is planning to do?
It's just another show for him.
Can't just "cut to commercials" on this one.
tl;dr: Trump biographer Michael Wolff said : "[Trump] is going to sacrifice Ukraine for Epstein".
Trump's been trying to loot and scoot Ukraine since his first day in office. Far too late to pin this policy on Epstein.
He’s gonna start a war
Read this morning he wants to give Russia access to Alaska.
That’s psychotic. I want Alaska to re-join Canada - can be our 11th province.
A civil one, at this rate. He already hates the people in the country and there’s no one to go to war with since he became but-buddies with all the dictators and, despite everything, attacking Europe would probably trigger a civil war anyway.
Everything is a distraction from the West giving up on liberty. It's not only the US.
tldr; new UK laws are extremly privacy invading requiering ID and face photos to acces any explicit material including sites like Wikipedia, similiar to some USA state laws and it looks like EU might just follow
These aren’t distractions, they’re just doing multiple awful things around the same time. Sometimes the timing is, sure, but these are all very real things that they’re doing. Calling it a “distraction” makes it sound likenthey wouldn’t have been so evil if they weren’t afraid but they love this shit.
What does a big thing even mean to someone enacting the American Nazi agenda? Invade Poland?
SHITZKRIEG BABY!🙃
My money is attacking Mexico without a declaration of war. Brown people are down there, it justifies the ICE budget, and other bullshit.
He wouldn't need a distraction from the Epstein files if he just released the Epstein files.
He's going to float the idea of giving Alaska to Russia, distracting people from the Epstein fiasco.
In other words: drumpf is a RAPIST and a PEDOPHILE
that bullet should have gone through his head, not his ear, we were two inches away from a better world
It did. In one ear and out the other without hitting anything vital.
Ha, when you've already pulled so many crazy stories that it's not working anymore. Nice.
Also Epstein did not kill himself.
Release the Epstein files.
Soo.. turns out the major betrayal they came up with is giving Alaska natural resources directly to Putin.

And putting the repost in the comment? It’s more direct and includes, among other things, official responses:
House. In response to questions from the Daily Beast Tuesday about Wolff’s reporting that Trump was willing to sacrifice Ukraine to distract from his Epstein crisis, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung told the Daily Beast: “Michael Wolff is a lying sack of s--- and has been proven to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”
God, every time I hear Steven Cheung open his mouth, I think of Baghdad Bob or a North Korean news broadcast. I know that's the point - he's just poisoning the well - but I don't get how anyone can listen to that response and think "Ok, that's a legitimate response from an adult."
I'm thinking he is being pressured by people with international buying power whose names are also on the list maybe
Pedos gotta stick together. Eww.
Bye Bye Alaska.
Ok Donald. If you get Putin to leave Ukraine on Zelensky's terms, then maybe we can talk about something other than Epstein for 5 minutes. Maybe.
However, if you fuck over Ukraine, and then try to claim a victory for authoritarianism as a victory for peace (which you almost assuredly will) we double down on Epstein so fucking fast even JD Vance will start to regret betraying you to Rupert Murdoch before the midterms.
Legitimately surprised that he hasn't staged another "assassination attempt", it worked so well for him last time.
I said war! Huh! Good god y'all.
What is it good for? Doing this probably.
"No one is above the law" and other jokes you can tell yourself to feel better.
I think Trump cares more about the Epstein files than his supporters do. He is actually the one making a big deall out of it.
I just don't get why.
I bet he’s sending troops to back up Russia
The hell with Ring alarm bells, keep banging the ~~Epstien~~ tRumpstein drum!
Release the trump/Epstein files!
