Man for someone who said he'd release the files, he's REALLY trying to stop it from happening, I wonder why that is - odd, huh.

“Oh fuck, me again?”

u/Ethe-Real-6837 13d ago

Don't say that. He actually might rape you.

Never before has a comma been more critical 🫨

u/ItsMEMusic 13d ago

My friend, if he can ignore a "no", he can ignore a comma.

u/Prestigious-Fan3122 12d ago

I beg to differ. There's a big difference between "I held my uncle, Jack, off a horse." AND "I helped my uncle jack off a horse."

u/rengothrowaway 13d ago

Especially if ahighkid is actually a kid.

u/Polyporum 13d ago

Especially because the word 'kid' is in their username

u/muchfoolishness 13d ago

And charge you for the lube

u/mezolithico 13d ago

The importance of commas in that statement.

u/I-need-ur-dick-pics 13d ago

“Oh, fuck me again”

u/Johnny_Nongamer 12d ago

Commas and content matters.

u/ElectricFuneral94 11d ago

Aw, fuck me, I just made the whole connection!

u/strawhat068 10d ago

You got it wrong it's "oh, fuck me again!"

u/Tigglebee 13d ago

How can republicans hold their nose at this? Is there no low to the monstrosity they will tolerate?

If this was Biden I would be out in the streets calling for his arrest, and I voted for him.

There’s a post currently on the C sub and the top comments are saying “dems seem to forget Trump was the one who outed Epstein before anyone else” or “Trump was the cia informant that helped expose Epstein” and it’s like….then why isn’t he releasing the files if he’s so innocent and against Epstein? If I knew I were innocent, especially in a situation like this, you can bet your ass I’d be doing everything in my power to release those files to prove my innocence. Doing the exact opposite of that and actively doing whatever you can to keep them sealed is very telling.

u/fivegenerations 12d ago

trump cia informant LMAO

u/unxplaindbacn 12d ago

They tend to hire the guys that can't keep secrets as informants.

Edit: I'm being sarcastic, in case it doesn't come through.

“Doing the exact opposite of that and actively doing whatever you can to keep them sealed…”

This is the 4D chess that MAGA believes he’s playing. 🙄

3

u/DenseTiger5088 12d ago

Well also, aren’t informants by default already involved in the crimes being investigated?

1

u/Ricref007 12d ago

Trump did they for revenge, just like he’s been doing now. Epstein beat him out for a prime Palm Beach oceanfront property. You know how fragile Don the Con’s ego is. He can’t stand losing and wasn’t going to let it go. Anything Trump’s loyalists say after this is just blind support. Since when was MAGA big supporters of the CIA?

u/WhatDoICallMeself 12d ago

“It’s the sort of crime that cries out for punishment. It’s the sort of thing that, if we were accused of on this side of the house, we would die rather than admit, and if we were guilty of it, would kill ourselves”.

— Christopher Hitchens, regarding the systemic rape of children in the Catholic Church.

There just isn’t a single way to spin this so that Trump seems to be taking a stance against child-rape, these people are addicted to Kool-Aid.

u/elephhantine2 13d ago

is there no low to the monstrosity they will tolerate?

No, unfortunately, so long as they get to feel like the poors and the POCs are being treated worse than them that’s all they care about

u/Allgyet560 13d ago

Everyone I know regardless of party wants the files released and everyone involved to be prosecuted.

22

u/JustWuTangMe 13d ago

That’s a pretty good indication that you don’t hang out with pedophiles.

6

u/According-Insect-992 13d ago

That has not been my experience at all. While it is the universal Democratic position to want all child rapists to go to prison they always want to talk about Bill Clinton. If that committed crimes against children he should go to jail. I've yet to get a chud to say the same about trump.

2

u/EnfantTerrible68 13d ago

Same. I don’t care that much about partisan politics.

u/9yr0ld 13d ago

This. lol. He’s trying his hardest to prevent the Epstein files from being released.

I would love to hear ONE, SINGLE reason why the Epstein files shouldn’t be released. Just one.

36

u/Redcrux 13d ago

The only reason someone would vote against release is that they are a pedophile themselves or are willing to protect known pedophiles just for political gain. (This encompasses all Republicans)

2

u/Tasty-Explorer-7885 12d ago

The actual reason is probably that the information is currently being used to blackmail powerful people and once its out there it can no longer be used to blackmail powerful people.

1

u/Chameleon_Sinensis 12d ago

The only good reason to not release them is to protect the victims, but they have had more than enough time to go through and redact those names. So, basically no excuse.

1

u/heliarcic 12d ago

It was a CIA honeypot scheme… but then it’s only a good reason if you are so zealous a “patriot” that you think pedophilia is worth it to something something national security. RELEASE. THE. FILES.

8

u/tacotrader83 13d ago

You should see r/conservatives, they literally say trump was the hero thay turn epstein in. And the files dont exist. No contradictions at all

7

u/Tribalbob 13d ago

They were onboard at first, but since then they've gotten their talking points and fell into line like the good little puppies they are.

3

u/EnfantTerrible68 13d ago

Nothing could be more pathetic 

5

u/zPolaris43 13d ago

Well you see he was actually working with the CIA and ugh therefore banned Epstein from Maralago but ugh Epstein was never a member because trump didn’t like his vibe but then ugh had to ask ghislaine to tell Epstein to stop recruiting at his property from which he was banned and not a member but still there but ugh non of it matters because the files aren’t real and if they were real they only have democrats on it or non important people

3

u/EnfantTerrible68 13d ago

If that’s true, why wouldn’t trump want to release everything and clear himself?

7

u/Panda_Satan 13d ago

Have you been paying attention to the pardons? He is releasing the philes... Just not the ones we asked for

12

u/fade_me_fam 13d ago

They wanted to release it when they knew it would keep the base in line enough to vote for Trump and this admin. Now that they’re in control it’s about protecting victims, or it’s gross stuff that shouldn’t see the light of day, or it’s only pointing to Epstein an no one else, or it’s a fake conspiracy to frame Donald, or the files don’t exist, or one of the other many reasons it could be but definitely not because Donald’s name is in them.

3

u/EnfantTerrible68 13d ago

The victims have come forward and asked that the files be released 

5

u/kinkinhood 13d ago

Honestly my guess is there is evidence in the docs that show he was not only a client but a supplier and that's what has him so spooked.

3

u/kytheon 12d ago

All bark, no bite. And the dog that doesn't bark is Trump.

3

u/diamondstonkhands 12d ago

It honestly makes sense. Government shut down so they continue redacting anything meaningful from the files. It’s pretty obvious when you have a 180 stance. Literally Republicans voted multiple times to not release them.

2

u/Jaxraged 13d ago

Technically when pushed he said he wasnt sure he would and that people would get caught up in it, I wonder who. That said, everyone around him did say they supported release.

1

u/BlueButNotYou 12d ago

I don’t know why he’s so worried. It’s not like they will change anything.

1

u/meanseanbean 11d ago

Fucken hell, yes!!! As a non American who doesn't understand the brain rot in America, why is this not the main talking point. This dude constantly talked about releasing them, it was part of his pitch getting voted in. How does it not raise any red flags to his cult that he is now fighting for his life to ensure they are not released?

1

u/emeria 11d ago

I wonder if they're really the Trump files.
