The outcry exists but it will fade. And soon too. These people WANT to follow their cult leader. It will just take some time as this outrage is mostly emotional and not really people caring about childrens welfare (they might believe it though).
To be honest it feels like they misshandled this on purpose as to deflect from the Brutal Bafoonery Bill that was even making the news internationally.
Nah... Not this time. I mean, time will tell, but this is going to have consequences... Look how long people have hung onto JFK and MLK, this isn't going away. The Dale Gribbles of the world are losing their minds over this
Democrats hate their voters, Republicans fear their voters. Because progressives don't pop off and shoot people
There's two factions in the white house right now giving ultimatums... Patel hasn't been showing up for work, apparently either Bondi goes or he does, along with others in the cabinet. Taco Belle's voice was shaking the entire press conference, Trump loses his charisma and babbles every time it comes up...
They're terrified. They're caught between powerful people and their base, and all they can do to get out of this is to convince conspiracy theorists that there's no conspiracy
I mean i surely do not know enough about american politics to argue against your points. It just seems there are no consequences for even the most despicable people you have, as long as they are powerful enough. Now while Epstein might seem like a good argument i would say he is only dead because he was a danger for more powerful people.
Interesting times to be alive.
Yeah, there probably won't be consequences for the people on the list even if it were to be released
It's probably includes like half of our Congress, the Saudis, most billionaires (globally), a bunch of our judges, Prince Andrew, King William, and countless other influential politicians/figures across the world.
This isnt an island, it involves the full network of the 80+ resorts, mansions, and compounds where billionaires spend most of their lives
They killed (or coerced to suicide) Epstein because he got caught sex trafficking children and had the blackmail material holding the conspiracy together. It was making powerful people very nervous. They'd be nervous if he just sat in jail, they'd be nervous if he walked free
The only way elites like that face consequences is when they're at cross purposes with more powerful people
My point being, powerful people are nervous. On the other side conspiracy theories have busted into places to "save the children" in cases like pizzagate, and they've been foaming at the mouth over this for years
So the Trump admin are the ones in danger. They have to thread the needle between these two groups, and I think they were threatened when they failed to make it go away in the last few months
