By the time the shutdown ends, all the files will go missing or have been scrapped or Trump’s name…
Only in part. Shutting down the government to prevent the release of the Epstein files is a driving force here, but it’s not the only thing going on, as they’re finding the shutdown allows them to do a lot of other things they want to do, like ransack the government and get private money into the military.
As the GOP moves into the post-Democracy era for America, they’re finding out just how much they can do without consequences.
Turns out it’s a lot.
There’s troops on the streets, the poors are where they belong, and there’s no legal consequences for anything they do… private jet rides for everyone faithful to the king, nothing they do can be considered a crime, and you don’t even need real crimes to arrest your political enemies and anyone you don’t like.
Demolish the Whitehouse? No problem, just do it.
The only single obstacle for now for the new regime is the courts, so that’s what to keep an eye on, when they start dismantling and restructuring the justice system so it works better for them.
I have to have faith that justice will prevail and we *will* see those damning files. Who am I kidding? Nothing happens as it should anymore and possibly never will. I fear this experiment in democracy called The United States of America is a failed state. Oh well, some tried, some tried.
Ok, no one gonna do shit about it. Trump does whatever he wants
Yes, and his supporters remain in denial about Trump’s deep connections to Epstein and his desperate efforts to sweep it all under the rug. His administration, alongside the DOJ and Republicans in Congress, have all been running interference for Trump; delaying votes, using the shutdown to obstruct the release of materials, suppressing information and diverting attention away from his close ties to Epstein.
They’re even manufacturing a separate ~~scandal~~ diversion that accuses Obama of „treason,“ while Trump’s deputy AG (and former personal lawyer) orchestrated a cover up with Ghislaine Maxwell by offering her limited immunity/clemency to facilitate her cooperation with the government.
Trump even sued the WSJ for releasing the birthday letter:
> The letter concludes: „Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.“
MAGA refuses to acknowledge his involvement; rationalizing to themselves why the most obvious conclusion is the least likely.
Fox News even deliberately edited Trump’s response during an interview when he was asked if he would release the „Epstein client list.“
Trump’s initial response:
> „Yeah, I think we should release it. People deserve to know.“
Fox left out his follow up:
> „But you have to understand, there’s a lot of lies in that list. A lot of names that shouldn’t be there. You don’t want to ruin innocent lives.“
Outside of the Epstein controversy, Trump has been accused of sexual abuse, harassment or rape by dozens of women dating back to the 70s—particularly women on the „younger side.“
A book published in 2019 titled „All the President’s Women“ speaks of at least 43 allegations—one of them from Trump’s first wife.
These women have all described having inappropriate, humiliating and traumatic encounters with Trump.
Former Miss ***TEEN*** USA contestants claimed that Trump would unexpectedly walk into their dressing rooms. One of the girls claims that she remembers Trump saying, “*Don’t worry ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”* The youngest was 15 at the time.
> In an April 2005 interview on The Howard Stern Show… Trump said he would go backstage before beauty pageant shows, the only man in the room while the women were “standing there with no clothes.” As the owner, “I sort of get away with things like that,” he added.
> Samantha Holvey, a former Miss USA contestant, told CNN that when she competed in 2006, Trump personally inspected each contestant, looking at them from head to toe like “sexual objects,” which made her feel “the dirtiest I felt in my entire life.”
Other incidents include:
> Jessica Leeds, [who] told The New York Times in 2016 that, in the late 1970s, Trump, who was a stranger to her, reached his hand up her skirt and grabbed her breasts on a flight to New York. She said he “was like an octopus” and his “hands were everywhere.“
One woman claimed that Trump tried to rape her in his daughters bedroom at Mar-A-Lago.
Reporter Natasha Stoynoff describes an incident when she was alone with Trump where he *“closed the door and pushed her against the wall before ‚forcing his tongue down [her] throat.'“* She was interviewing Trump for a story about his marriage to Melania.
There’s always the Stormy Daniels case and the „Hollywood access tape,“ scandals that should have ended his political career. But in a desperate move after the hot mic incident, Trump staged a surprise press conference where he paraded four women around in front of reporters who alleged that Bill Clinton abused them. Trump had the gall to „praise their courage.“
That same year, multiple women came forward speaking out against Trump. In response, he called them „horrible, horrible liars.“
Judge Kaplan clarified that the jury’s findings in the E Jean Carroll case align with the common understanding of rape. Meaning Trump was found by a jury to have raped E Jean Carroll.
Then there’s the case involving the plaintiff „Katie Johnson“, filed multiple times in 2016—all suspiciously dismissed.
The accuser was set to appear at a news conference later that year, but her attorney said she had been receiving death threats and was too afraid to attend.
The case alleges that both Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein made the plaintiff into a „sex slave“ at the age of 13.
Trump and Epstein had a very close, friendly and social relationship starting in the late 80s. They were both prominent figures in Palm Beach, Florida, where they were often seen together at social events and parties. Photos and videos show the two together at Mar-a-Lago.
In an interview in 2002, Trump said of Epstein:
> “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
In 2005, police searched Epstein’s Mansion and found message books containing the names and numbers of high profile people, including Trump.
Virginia Guiffre, one of Epstein’s most vocal accusers, claimed that she was recruited into Epstein’s sex trafficking ring while working at Mar-a-Lago. Giuffre sadly „died by suicide“ back in April.
Maria Farmer, another reported Epstein victim, went to police twice back in the 90s to complain about Epstein’s sexual abuse of girls and young women. She brought up Trump’s name because of his close ties to Epstein and after an encounter with Trump at Epstein’s New York office:
> She told the authorities that late one night, Mr. Epstein unexpectedly called her to his offices in a luxury building in Manhattan, and she arrived in running shorts.
> Mr. Trump then arrived, wearing a business suit, and started to hover over her.
> Ms. Farmer said she recalled feeling scared as Mr. Trump stared at her bare legs. Then Mr. Epstein entered the room, and she recalled him saying to Mr. Trump: “No, no. She’s not here for you.”
It wasn’t until Epstein’s arrest and death in 2019 that Trump publicly stated that he wasn’t „a fan“ of Epstein.
After Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrest in 2020, Trump appeared to show sympathy for her at a press briefing:
> “I just wish her well, frankly. I’ve met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach. But I wish her well, whatever it is.“
According to flight logs released during Maxwell’s trial, Trump has flown on the „Lolita Express“ at least seven times.
Then there’s Michael Wolff, a journalist who has interviewed Trump and had insider access to him and the White House.
Wolff claims that Trump once considered a pardon for Maxwell because he was worried that she might „spill secrets.“
Wolff obtained audio recordings of Epstein claiming that Trump and Melania’s first sexual encounter took place aboard his private jet.
On his podcast, Fire and Fury, Wolff stated that Epstein once showed him several photographs of Trump at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion, sitting around the pool with topless young girls, some reportedly sitting in Trump’s lap.
Wolff described Trump and Epstein as „joined at the hip“ for nearly 15 years. Both men have confirmed their close friendship together, they even shared the same women.
This is a cover up, plain and simple.
I suspect Trump is doing diddly these days and his equally corrupt minions are running the show. The still need him as a figurehead so it’s in their interest to have all that material remain hidden.
Hey, so how about those Epstein files?
I feel like he’s using the government shut down to shut down the government. Don’t think it’s isolated to Epstein files, but it’s welcome collateral damage…
The whole segment was great. He went in on the Royals over Andrew’s joke of a „punishment“ and said something that a lot of Americans don’t realize – and which is rarely brought up even though we’re not British – the Royals are not „Windsors“ their surname was German but they changed it during WW2. He said they picked something English sounding, but that’s not what it was, they chose Windsor because of Windsor Castle, effectively trying to legitimize themselves by linking the family to an iconic British landmark.
Dude they’re gonna show us the aliens before the Epstein files
What exactly are we expecting to see in the files? I feel like when it comes to trump everyone already knows he is vile disgusting felon of a human being, who is he protecting because it’s not his image that is worth saving.
I believe that Trump/Republicans wanted the shut down to happen. The Republicans have an option where they can open the government but they won’t. Whilst crying about not having the power to do anything.
Wouldn’t be the first time he’s used chaos as cover. Classic distraction play.
I’ve been haunted with this feeling of doom for America for years and it’s driving me crazy watching this all play out. Epstein ballroom is paid for by mega corporations and wealthy donors who are just kissing the ring of their king Trump. These are calculated decisions made by a board of directors, what do they know? What do they expect? Because with this sort of administration you are better off being in their grace rather than their wrath. These money worshipping cockroaches all speak the same language. Trump isn’t the only one building a bunker, tech CEOs and various flavors of elite across the globe are prepping for something, let’s just say stuff like that it’s all coincidence just for sanity’s sake.
Soldiers in our military are already starting to blow the whistle and are promptly being relieved of duty. Private donor is paying the military while the government is shut down. Chief pedo in charge has a bunker in commission but members of his Administration are already moving themselves into military bases. It’s not looking very promising, let’s see…
Food benefits revoked for the low income and working class, simultaneously ICE agents terrorizing communities with impunity. Technically and legally speaking they are deporting illegal immigrants using Palantir mass surveillance databases, and facial recognition, but what they are objectively doing is provoking American citizens into acting on our worst instincts. Our fear and vengeance are being exploited for a false flag emergency policy for martial law, absolving power for Trump and his cronies. Who knows exactly how it happens, we just know that’s what they want.
All the while Trump is summoning his cult to endorse support and promote the disgusting hate, violence and racism aimed at our fellow citizens. These people call themselves patriots and Christian’s by the way. No matter the issue the right and left are in loyal opposition, where are the bipartisan votes? Everything is lumped together into these “big beautiful bills” and it’s fueled by hate, by design is cyclical, solving nothing, creating division. The same identity politics the media spoon feeds us all one by one is voted for in one-shot, large lumped bills.
Mark my words, that 40 billion dollar “currency exchange” is just a deposit for a ratline to Argentina. Seriously, more foreign aid while Americans food benefits are cut? I’d be hard pressed to be convinced this is all on the up and up. It all reeks of corruption and more pocket lining. Trump suing the government as the sitting president, it’s his own personal treasure chest at this point.
Those Epstein files ever get released to uncover the global conspiracy, every one of the 93/100 senators who have received kicked back $$ from AIPAC lobby are defrauding working class Americans and Veterans of our tax payer dollars, all of this corrupted administration and their representatives, as well as the ones prior, potentially military and national guard personnel, especially any who are complicit in collaborating or being compromised by Israeli Mossad pedo blackmail rings, and for certain the ICE agents, will all have to flee to Argentina or face prison when this is all said and done.
Trump and all the backers of this takeover are not playing fair, they are playing for keeps. Our country is being dismantled and sold off, if this administration has it their way, what’s left of the country will be an ethnostate of Christian white nationalists, don’t ask me how or why that happens, it’s just what they want, it’s crazy, I know. I wish I was making all of this up.
While we all argue, the media controlled, selectively censored narratives are being force fed to us over and over until we’re under hypnosis….“black vs white vs brown” “man vs woman” “gay vs straight” “left vs right” “old vs new” “religion vs religion” with all the rage bait in the world at their disposal, I’m afraid it’s all too easy for us to remain divided and confused on any of these discussions, reinforcing identity politics. Instead of uniting and putting a stop to this madness we are all willing to just scream and cry at the puppets shuffling across the stages but never asking who’s pulling the strings and what is behind the curtains. It’s hard to know the truth in this day and age, so many lies and misinformation, blatant corruption and rapid fire attacks, unprecedented levels of scandalous behavior in the last 10 years.
There’s no stopping it, pandora has come out of the box and is a force too large to stuff back in. They let it cook too long and now they will never escape it. I mean unless ya know… fascism
r/NoShitSherlock
Ted Cruz didn’t gaffe when he said „stop attacking pedophiles“, He was saying stop trying to release the Epstein files, and then we can pass a budget.
Why would you even believe the Epstein files even exist at this point in time? I suspect they are long gone.
He’s using the government shutdown to close the Congress.
And that’s why we need to keep hammering him on it
