    Massie: “The fact our leaders are pedophiles, rapists and murderers isn’t a problem, it’s only my party’s reputation that matters.”

          He’s literally going against everyone else in the party on the Epstein thing… I don’t understand what you are talking about.

            It’s fucking horrifying that the contents of the Trump-Epstein files has now been so normalized that you’re actually defending Massie and his whining about his party’s “months of humiliation.” If the senator was decent human being he would be loudly calling for immediate resignations, investigations, prosecutions and prison time for those proven guilty of these contemptible crimes,

            Massie’s “literally going against everyone else in the party on the ‘Epstein thing’” (Really?), is only notable because of the tacit approval of human trafficking, child rape and murder by the rest of the Grand Old Pedophiles.

            That’s what I’m talking about.

                You think outrage about literally decades of kidnapping, human trafficking, child rape, blackmail, murder and cover-up by government means I’ve got a problem? If your sister or cousin was one of their victims, would it matter to you then? Or maybe you would feel something if you were one of those bought, sold and repeatedly raped.

                Today, tomorrow and every day after that our government will continue being twisted beyond recognition by monsters trying to protect themselves, and even if you don’t care about their victims every single one of us is being affected by what they are doing.

                The dribbling release of information is to numb people to the horror of what Trump, Epstein and their ilk have done. The American population is being treated like frogs in slowly heated water and the tepid reactions of people here to what should be unthinkable crimes are proof that it’s working.

        I commend Massie on recognizing that his Party’s moral code has shifted to be closer to Lavrentiy Beria than Abraham Lincoln

        Damning with praise so faint even Hubble couldn’t detect it.

        Your statement is basically equivalent to “Massie is the only one in the entire party who isn’t a criminal co-conspirator.” (And even then, the scope of that claim is limited to that particular set of crimes!)

    It’s not collapsing this was always the plan. Drag it out and delay it so the frog is boiled slowly and their base has time to adjust to the new party line of “pedophilia is ok actually”

    And it’s working, people are already saying they don’t care if Trump is a child rapist. Soon the incel podcasters will be claiming pedophilia laws are just the woke oppressing “real men” from having sex with girls at their “most fertile” in order to lower birthrates among white people or some shit. Then the boomers will be told “remember the back in the good old day? You could rape a 14 year old and nobody minded, and we all grew up fine?, these young folks are just soft” and by 2028 the republicans will be an explicitly pro pedophile party and there will be leaked videos of Trump rapjng kids and they will still have 40%+ of the vote.

      I think the the real reason they’re dumping all this money into AI is because of exactly this strategy. AI is the only thing in the world that can give them plausible deniability about the validity of pictures and videos. They’re trying to drag things out as slowly as possible because they know it’s inevitable it’ll come out. They’re trying to stuff as much money as possible into AI so that it is as good as possible for when those videos do come out. At that point, they hope to be able to claim that the videos are fake.

    USA politicians don’t resign, they will wheel an 100-year-old comatose ghoul in front of the cameras to vote, they do not care. (remember Byrd? God Lord)

    He had no clue for months. Reagan too, and now Biden and Trump. But, it really doesn’t matter I guess. The actual decisions are made elsewhere.

    The 70s was our last gasp, we are running on fumes alone

    Because the entire cabinet is filled with people on the list hoping/jockeying for redaction or being paid off for their silence.

    The corruption is orders of magnitude greater than anything witnessed before.

      I think he’s referring to when they initially got the Epstein bill passed. But you’re right the GOP has been an embarrassment since 2016 at minimum, I would argue since Reagan.

    I think it’s too late. When Trump told evangelicals to vote this time and you never have to again, I believe him.

    We know. They know we know. They depend on the pedo loving right to still vote for them and to cover for them - sadly they will.
