    I think Trump meant there are a lot of everyday people in the files, you know firemen, teachers, engineers , those sort of people and since he’s charged with protecting his people he just wants to… I’m sorry there’s just no way to justify NOT hurting the pedophiles. The victims have already come out in favor of this so I don’t see that argument holding water.

    Let’s just do away with law and courts and such. Releasing evidence would incriminate people and prove they are guilty.

    Where’s the offramp for this timeline?

      Exactly, it’s the whole point. I don’t care who is there, if they were involved they need to be punished.

        It’s hilarious all the conservatives are like, “but Bill Clinton is in them too!” As if we give a flying fuck if that whole family gets destroyed from the files.

    MTG is smarter than we’ve been giving her credit for.

    She bailed out of Congress just after her pension kicked in, and before the midterms.

    She’ll be a talking head/pundit, sitting on the sidelines as the GOP goes down in flames, and then run in 2028 as the MAGats new hero.

      It just got too toxic when she turned on Trump. Pension was coincidence that it was only a couple months away so announce to take the heat off and stick around doing nothing.

        Other people already pointed out that she never received a credible threat from Antifa or the LGBTQ+ community. The second she made a move against Trump she saw her life was in danger.

      It’s basic math. So, yeah she is able to do basic times tables and that’s way more than I thought she could do

    If it wasn’t so upsetting it would be funny that the people motivated by fury over elite pedophiles elected the biggest most elite pedophile to be their president.

    lol … sounds a lot like the evangelical preacher with the million dollar private jet who asked his parishers to give more money to buy a second jet because it would save more people

    (I remembered this story from a few years ago and thought it was ‘a second jet’ … I was wrong … the preacher was asking for donations to buy his FOURTH JET!!!)

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44305873

    Trump isn’t running a country … he’s an evangelical preacher leading a ministry called the United States

        The church does. They need 1 so their staff can fly to other churches to spread the word. The other three are loaned out to a jet rental company that a shell company owned by the pastor’s shell company owns so he can appear to be making nothing off the church directly.

        Ummmm…a small military? Maybe he wanted to kick it old school, and go back on 1700s era holy cruisades, but with modern firepower!

      It does raise a question of just how many jets a single person needs. I, myself, could make do with as few as two, but I have a large family. I’m sure someone who lived a more frugal lifestyle might struggle by with only one? But I don’t see anyone needing more than three. It’s just so hard to find places to park them all…

      Hey, I appreciate the sentiment, but some years ago I made an active effort to remove misogynist vocabulary from my swearword vocabulary (e.g. bitch, cunt) - maybe that’s something you could see yourself doing as well?

        Can’t see that happening, sorry. This is one of those times and people where swearing isn’t even enough, Fat ass Donny deserves every possible vilification that can be sent his way, and a lot more besides. Language isn’t enough to express the contempt and loathing I feel for that obese, bloviated, orange tub of rancid lard, but I try anyway since he’s not close enough for me to spit upon. And, swearing isn’t misogynistic. It’s fucking swearing, because normal vocabulary won’t do. It also has the benefit that Donny 2 Inches doesn’t understand words greater than 4 letters in length. Maybe you could do something about your over active sensibilities, and save the preaching for church?

    That’s the whole point, isn’t it? Exposing criminals and charging them will hurt them in all sorts of ways. Personal responsibility suggests that if you made your own bed then you lie in it. If you get a bunch of “powerful” cohorts doing the same thing it becomes a criminal conspiracy cabal with certain protections built in. I guess they find themselves “tween” a rock and a hard place.

    Yes, that’s kind of a big part of it. Wealthy elites did bad things and we want them to hurt because we all hurt and they’re getting away with doing bad things.

    This is not rocket science…
