We don’t yet know the full story of the Trump administration’s sudden reluctance to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. Its reversal appears to have coincided with the president being told his name appeared in the files, but there are gobs of unanswered questions.

Trump: *Lies*

Fact Check: *Shows trump is lying*

    Analysis: America is dumber than a bag of hammers to comprehend the accusations, proof and evidence to even do anything about it.

      I know I’ll get some flak for this, but should the average person even need the ability to parse through this BS? Like every inch of this mess should’ve been settled decades ago in courtrooms with every one of Epsteins buddies sitting in a vaguely damp jail cell until trial. But due to abject corruption on all levels one of his degenerate profligate buddies is now sitting in the Whitehouse. Frankly speaking everyone involved with Epstein should’ve popped up dead in a ditch or should’ve been rotting in a prison cell.

      Instead it’s now being hashed in the court of public opinion which is frankly speaking a mess especially with how degraded common news media is. Humans are evolved to hunt and gather not analyze the bullshit info on a cavalcade of child rapists, while plenty of us have moved past such simple functions plenty haven’t.

      Note I think ignorance is a sin, but there are plenty of folks who simply want to do their job go home eat something tasty then vibe with their buddies in the garage. The problem is that due to propaganda and other trite those simple folks have been turned into a weapon.

    But the question Trump raised is a good one. Indeed, why would someone misrepresent Epstein-related things? And why would a president do so repeatedly like this?

    I can tell you why. Because he was never there. All the photos are fakes. They were fake even in the 90s, before anyone knew that Epstein was a child-predator. When there was no reason to frame Trump, people were already framing him. That’s called a long-con!

    I’m being facitious, of course. He was on the plane. They were pals. He wrote and drew the weird bday note. And he likely assaulted children, though that last one is alleged, to be clear. Don’t sue me.
