        It’s a very transparent corruption tool. When Trump was elected, he and his ghouls went around with the hat to get “donations” from all of the large companies. Especially the ones in big tech donated huge amounts for what turned out to be a very sad inauguration ceremony. After Trump gifted all of them huge tax benefits and removing restrictions and regulations, the time had come for the hat to go around again. But you can’t just donate directly to the president, then even the dumbest of the dumb would cry foul. So like the shitty landlord Trump has always been he destroyed part of the White House and announced plans for a huge new construction project. This allowed all of the assholes to once again “donate” to this project. A project that has caused a lot of damage to a monument in order to “own the libs” and has raked in millions in donations, but has done little else. All of this money is being pocketed by Trump and his goons.

        As with many terrible things, it’s all out in the open and yet America does nothing. Checks and balances indeed.

    Literal victims being victimized doing more to punish Epstein associates than the US Govt.

    I was relieved to see she was interviewed as an adult in 2019. Brave as a girl, brave as a woman.

    Question:
    How can a person who has these type of documents and accusations about them ever be allowed to run for any type of political position? Let alone become the president of a country (twice)?

        Come on. That lady didn’t believe exactly everything I believed. How could I vote for someone who is not only a female, but someone who didn’t believe exactly what I believed!?!?

          She supported everything you support, especially genocide. Which is why you’re belittling anyone who had a problem with genocide like this.

            I will belittle anyone that put Donald Trump in office. And if you didn’t vote for Kamala Harris, you helped put Donald Trump in office. I and a lot of people on this platform knew exactly what we were in for with Donald Trump 2.0. But millions of people let perfect be the enemy of the good.

            It’s a choice of survival. I’m never going to say the DNC is perfect. Frankly, I think the DNC is worse than the RNC. I’m a Bernie bro from 2016. But when you see a fuckin train coming down the tracks, step off the rails.

      Wasn’t it something like:

      • 1/3 voted in favor of him
      • 1/3 voted against him
      • 1/3 couldn’t be bothered

        I prefer a third voted against. A third voted for. And a third enabled it to happen, either by protest or ignorance.

          My FIL is a Die Hard Conservative. He refused to vote for Trump… and Harris. He didn’t vote for either to “send” a message. I told him a bigger message would be to vote Democratic but he “could not” bc they are forcing kids to be transgender. I told him to prove that and he could not but he saw it on Faux New or News Min and it had to be true.

          I asked him if he knew Faux News was settled on a 750 million dollar defamation case for the lies spread about Dominion voting sustems. He did not and said the 2020 election was a fraud… you can’t get through to these people

      Good portion of people don’t give a shit.

      I’ve spend the past three years trying to get people to investigate the sexual and physical abuse of children in Oklahoma, including some child trafficking. No one cares or wants to do anything about it. More people than we want to admit are okay with children being raped and abused as long as they are a certain type of child (foster kids usually.)

        You’re absolutely correct. From one of the kids in Oklahoma who you were talking about, who was failed hardcore by law enforcement, the courts, the Church, supposed family, fuckin’ everyone… Thank you for recognizing it, believing it, and trying to get shit done about it. I genuinely mean it with all my heart. I’m sending a big internet hug your way. <3

      The only time someone asks to see his penis is for court proceedings.

      Times certainly have changed, he used to get asked to see his penis after promising to pay someone but now they all know you need to get the cash from him first.

    Page 10: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet 12/EFTA02858481.pdf

    EPSTEIN talked about blackmailing people in front of [redacted]. [redacted] was confident TRUMP knew EPSTEIN blackmailed people because she heard EPSTEIN and TRUMP talking about it. [redacted] stated she knew TRUMP had illegal building permits. She heard him (TRUMP) talking about washing money through casinos.

    I wonder if this is true, about Trump washing money.

    While I fully support justified defensive violence against dick biters, I’d appreciate even more Trump using this defense in a trial over the incident.

    Anyone else read “Doc” as “Doctor” before realizing it was “Document”? I had a flicker of hope they’d be a corroborating witness.

    Someone should check for scar tissue.

    Not me, I ain’t got the stomach for looking up under that naked stomach.
