Oh, so it's okay the files are released in their entirety? Maybe this statement counts as an order to release the files.

What he says and what he does is two DIFFERENT things.
He SAYS things to distract you from what he is DOING.

“I dont care if the files get released” says man who happens to also be furiously shoving documents into paper shredder

Who cares what time it is, I have a Rolex.
anomnom@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 280d
If it doesn’t affect his power he doesn’t need to care.
Fox and friends will make sure the people who support him never hear about it, or hear the opposite of what the rest of us do.

What happened to, "there aren't any epstein files, it was all a hoax by the radical left?"
Kushan@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 280d
It's not real but if it is then it's a hoax and if it's not a hoax it's okay to fuck kids.
SendMePhotos@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 280d
Because they're older kids, it's not pedophilia, right? Just gotta think of a new angle!
potpotato@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 280d
15 is basically 16 is basically 17 and de facto 18. Wham bam, case closed.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 280d
........but the girls were 13.
SendMePhotos@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 280d
Yeah but 13 is close to 15!
aceshigh@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 279d
Some victims were 12, which somehow rounds up to 18. Math is confusing. The laws are confusing. Let’s just decrease the marriage age to 12 and call it a day.

Well, in dog years, that’s like 70. And Trump barked before each assault, so it’s fine.
thefool@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 279d
According to Epstein, Trump is the dog who hasn't barked, so there's that
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 279d
Ah, yes. That makes sense.

I think they've already begin that spin in some circles.
"It's just hebophilia" or whatever the fuck, as if a grown ass man (or anyone, for that matter) raping a 15 year old is fine.

He doesn't care?
Then tell us who bubba is!? Who'd you blow? Who's knob did you gobble? We're all dying to know, Mr. Doesn't Care.

Thought they didn't exist, Donny boy?
mycodesucks@lemmy.world · 48 pts · 281d
It's very simple...
He doesn't care if the files, which don't exist, get released, which he could do unilaterally, but he won't, since he doesn't care, because he's not in them, and they're a political hit job by the democrats, or they would be, if they were real, but they aren't.
Got it?

Demented old fool has forgotten he's in them
meco03211@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 280d
Nah. I'm sure he knows he's in them. He probably just thought he could tell one of his sycophants to remove or redact his name like they could just do a "find all" and delete. He probably thinks his name has been scrubbed.
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 9 pts · 280d
They probably did that but it didn't match DONNI TEE which is how that email got released
FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 31 pts · 280d
Maybe the only part he was worried about getting out was him sucking a guy's dick
TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 280d
Unlikely
FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 280d
Why should he care if they prove he committed heinous crimes? Nothing is going to be done about it
samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 280d
Sucking a guy's dick isn't a crime, but sex with a minor sure is.
jaybone@lemmy.zip · 14 pts · 280d
He has already been convicted of multiple other felonies and doesn’t serve time. Why should this be any different?
samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 280d
I don't know that it would be, but he sure seems to think so. I think him trying so desperately to cover it up for so long has made it more damaging than it would have been if he'd just owned it when his cult was clamoring for the files to be released. He'd downplay it with his usual word salad, news articles would be written about how terrible it was, and nothing of consequence would happen to him. Now, though? It's not just about the horrendous crimes, but his betrayal of his conspiracy theorist cult. Maybe it would still amount to nothing, but he hasn't done himself any favors by alienating his cultists.
FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 280d
I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how Trump will face repercussions for these crimes when he hasn't for any other crimes. Who is going to prosecute him? What is the plan if the files prove he committed heinous crimes? Since he's clearly immune to all consequences of crimes, I think he's more concerned about people thinking he's gay
samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 280d
IF anything happens to him, it will be because he has eroded the trust of his conspiracy theorist cult by trying to cover up his pedophilia more than the pedophilia itself. A lot of his power is derived from his cult, which the Republicans are terrified of alienating. If he loses enough of their support, Republicans won't be so hell-bent on protecting him at all costs. It's a big "if."
FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 280d
I don't see hiw him losing supporters is going to matter. It isn't like there's an election coming up. He said, if you vote for him you'll never have to vote again. He doesn't need the support of the people now that he's already in power
samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 280d
Ah, but he does, because Republicans who do need their support to stay in power look to them when deciding to bend over to Dear Leader. None of them actually like him. He's only immune from consequences because Republicans allow it. If enough of his cult turned on him, they would as well. Not saying it's going to happen, only that it's a possibility.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 280d
Which is what they just said?
FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 280d
Yes but nothing is going to be done about it
foodandart@lemmy.zip · 28 pts · 280d
Suuuure he doesn't care..
(That's why he's got Pam Bondi digging through them to find dirt on the Democrats.)
He's gotta act cool, no matter what..
Gerudo@lemmy.zip · 21 pts · 280d
I'm 100% sure there are democrats in the files. However, the fact that they haven't released any den names or tried to prosecute any sure is interesting.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 280d
Would be difficult to use the actual documents to pick and choose only Democrats to prosecute while protecting Republicans. Might as well just make everything up at at that point.
Gerudo@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 280d
Isn't that what they are already doing? They have been cherry-picking dems and blue states to prosecute for everything else. Even the redistricting in Texas is being looked past while they turn around and do it to California.
pelespirit@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 280d
So? I'm sure there is too. Release them all.
Gerudo@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 280d
I'm not saying not to, lock em all up if they are in there. It's just funny that they haven't released a single dem name to even finger point at.
Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 280d
they probably have copies too
Xerxos@lemmy.ml · 22 pts · 280d
What I still don't get is why the dems didn't release the files when they could. We could have been freed from Trump and other pedophiles.
wirebeads@lemmy.ca · 26 pts · 280d
I’m assuming it’s most likely those files are also riddled with dems in them.
At this point, release the files and put everyone in them who’s guilty away. If they’re guilty of raping children castrate them.
America needs to rebuild its government from the ground up.
Death to pedophiles.

For most of Biden's term they were sealed under court order. But that ended Jan 1st, so there was 20 days to issue the order.

RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 279d
If Biden had wanted Trump in prison, and the files released, I believe Trump would be in prison, and the files would be public. I mean, it was Garland's actual job, but fuck both of them.
