      Believe it when I see it. They’re still making excuses for the pedophile they voted for three times and waiting for updated talking points.

      Not that I expect anything less from his stupid fucking MAGA cult.

      > Epstein was renowned for his intellect, financial savvy, and patronage of science and higher education;

      Haven’t most folks that are experts in similar fields said he was just a great bullshitter? It was the money/blackmail/power, not his “intellect” that granted him access. Everything was given to him.

      That look on Johnsons face is not very happy. I get the feeling he regrets taking the job

      As in, there’s a snowball’s chance in hell he’ll ever actually see consequences for it.

      Senate will block full release. Need to hope for some other solution. I hope some one in the GOP finds their spine though.

      >*One individual should not be able to unilaterally obstruct the swearing-in of a duly elected member of Congress for political reasons.*

      I like Grijalva already

      >Committee Republicans replied by releasing tens of thousands later in the day. Nobody knows whether they did that thinking they would exonerate Trump, or whether they were too stupid to know how incriminating they were. They only contributed to the toxic fumes of scandal around Trump and his allies.

      This has been bugging me. What were they thinking? Was it a total miscalculation, or are Republicans finally starting to turn on him? Or maybe they just never read them and didn’t realize how bad they would be for Trump. So weird.

      It is so cool that it seems like the rich, powerful, and often (but not always) conservative people in this country are pedophiles/pedophile apologists. God bless America!

      /s

      Conservatives will just downplay pedophilia and sexual assault on women. I even heard one say it was OK for Trump to walk into women’s dressing rooms because he was paying them.

      I bet the oversight committee has thousands upon thousands of documents in their possession from his estate, a lifetime of correspondence and pictures.  And they will control a steady drip of information to keep the public outrage and to keep pressure on congress. I don’t like Massie, but this is one situation he doing the right thing to bring justice to the victims, probably for selfish political reasons but it will expose things needed to be exposed.

      I learned about snowballing from the movie Clerks, is that what Trump is in trouble for? I thought he raped children

    15. outinthecountry66 on

      let it fucking roll because I AM SICK TO DEATH OF THE CON. of the hate. of the destruction. Lets GOOOO

    16. nobot4321 on

      Who could have guessed the guy who was buddy/buddy with Epstein and have many pictures with Epstein partying together and who LIVES IN THE PLACE WHERE EPSTEIN RECRUITED AT LEAST ONE VICTIM could have been involved in the Epstein scandal?

      Fucking morons who voted for this guy.

    17. sedatedlife on

      Not so sure it is MAGA seems to just be excusing it all. If you see Trumps approval fall below 30% then maybe i will buy he is in trouble.

    20. supercali45 on

      The GOP criminal syndicate is helping him .. a fucking Pedophile .. perfect for Christians to defend

    21. blow_slogan on

      Trump spent THANKSGIVING with Epstein in 2017 and we’re just now learning about it?

      I thought he hardly knew the guy? I thought Trump kicked him out when he knew Epstein was trafficking and raping kids?

      And then decides he’s gonna spend his holiday with the guy.

      Trump was raping kids.

    23. AstutelyPegged on

      A lot of people think this is because Republican Senators and Representatives have turned against Trump. They’re opportunistic, but they’ve also stuck by Trump’s side against the odds when bad news has broken before.

      I’m personally convinced that the shutdown cost America a lot more money than anyone’s willing to admit (the Administration won’t even release recent economic data) and that this ‘snowballing’ is due to the oligarchs who boosted Trump finally realizing he’s a net negative for their fortunes.

      So now the businessmen and mainstream media moguls who shielded Trump during his three campaigns are finally encouraging their underlings to turn on him before the damage gets even worse.

      I also suspect it’s these billionaires who have nudged the Supreme Court conservatives to finally play hardball with Trump on tariffs.

    28. CrashSF on

      The pedophile scandal is bad enough. But the confirmation that all the Russia “hoax” accusations are real should burn down the entire GOP.

    29. rkmkthe6th on

      Snowballing into warships in the Caribbean.

      To hell with the cowards that continue to refuse to oppose him, even in this madness.

      Megyn Kelly : Democrats are pedophiles , they wanna make it acceptable

      After files released : Oh oh I ment if a girl’s parents ok with older man sleeping with their kids it’s their preference , we shouldn’t interfere with people’s life . Also , girls knew what kind of people Epstein was .. it’s their fault

    32. Double_Cupcake6305 on

      In another life I did some freelance work for a woman who was in finance. Pretty high on the food chain in international banking. All her emails were very much like the format that Epstein is seen sending here. Just short fragmented sentences. Quick and to the point with just enough words for me to know what I needed to know. I thought of it less a mark of her intelligence and more to do with just how busy she was. (Also.. once I emailed Steve Jobs a question about the App Store and he replied with a one sentence email devoid of any punctuation. So I think my theory still holds true)

      “The dog that hasn’t barked” isn’t as likely a “clumsy metaphor” as it is a reference the author didn’t catch. The phrase comes from the Sherlock Holmes mysteries; Sherlock identifies that the killer was someone known to the victim because the victim’s dog didn’t bark at them.

      More broadly, the phrase implies not just someone who isn’t sounding the alarm, but someone who is complicit in the crime, if only for looking the other way so that they themselves can be “fed.” The implication is far darker.

      Imagine if you had a daughter, regardless of age, that was raped. Now imagine that grown man who raped your child was elected as president and his team is trying to convince America that raping children is acceptable. This is Trump’s America.

    37. starsky1984 on

      On another topic, why isn’t Trump giving scumbag Rudy Ghouliani a pardon making bigger news?

    38. Solid-Spread-2125 on

      And will lead to zero repercussions for Donald no matter how much it goes our way

      As a foreigner in America, to me it’s absolutely wild that the FBI has a list of child predators, probably even videos, and other proof and they don’t just go tomorrow morning and detain then ALL.

      In most western countries if a police officer (or a public servant) refuses to observe the law, or willingly hides a crime, the public servant is fined, loses his/her job and if it’s big, probably even goes to jail.

      As a principle nobody should get to decide when law is applied and when it’s not. Not district attorneys, not FBI agents, not congressmen, not even the f*cking president.

      “Barely legal” is a porno term. For Christ’s sake, if we’re at this point, we certainly have had “moral degeneration” and it ain’t because of the communists.

      You are either a minor, or not. You are legal, or not.

      Anyone arguing a weird blurry line is strictly arguing against age of consent laws, which is within their right.

      Just as it’s within our rights to laugh at those people. Hell, I know 30 year olds too mentally immature for sex. That isn’t the question, Megyn. It’s a question of law, not feels, vibes, or other creepy apologist crap.

      Good.

      And lemme just say this. If this also hits the Clintons, or other Democrats, too:

      Good.

      You can tell things are getting scary because now they’re lying about Democrats trying to cover it up, just a day after they accused Democrats of promoting a hoax to hurt Trump.

    45. Death_and_Gravity1 on

      We can hope. Still not convinced any of this will hurt him in any real sense

    47. Delicious_Spot_3778 on

      I still think once you dig in that the pee tape came from THIS scandal. But also I’m so disappointed in our tribalism that I don’t think anything will come of this.

    48. Wolfman01a on

      So much so that they are trying to actively excuse and downplay Child Molestation and Rape.

      Come on MAGA. I knew you would support low but Jesus Freaking Christ how low are you willing to go?

      I thought you were Christians. Where are your values?

      I thought you loved children.

      Where’s the line?
