Are we really still talking about this?? We have Texas we have this we have all those undercooked McDonald's chicken snack wraps! I can't believe you're asking that at a time like this...
Remember when QAnon thought that Trump was building an army of people to root out and destroy the pedophiles?
Turns out he was too busy fucking kids to be doing that.
Grand ol pederasts
Group of pedophiles
Gross Old Pedophiles
Great orange pederast?
GOP does not really care about pedos, kids or whatever.
They are however, and thats no news, ABUSERS and enablers of abuse and children are just easy prey.
Pedophilia is a welcome smokescreen for any political party as it is much easier to deflect such allegations than talking about the actual abuse that has happened.
People will now scream some weeks about pEdOpHiLiA, while Drumpf and his Goons continue their destruction of democracy. And then people will forget about pedophilia for about one week until there is need for another smokescreen.
If literally abduction in broad daylight won't get the american ass up from their couch, you sure these unreleased papers will? I would love to be wrong. In the meantime i will have to suffer reading about pedophilia a dozen times daily because thats americans number one obsession.
That's the funny part. If they released the papers, why would it end any different than the Panama papers? No one is going to prosecute them (well, maybe some people overseas might face consequences) so they could've just laundered them by flooding the zone in misinfo
But now? Part of Trump's core base are true believers and really care about this. They're conspiracy theorists, and the admin just wiggled an obvious juicy conspiracy in their faces before covering it up cartoonishly
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
Fun (depressing) fact, the only rich asshole to go to jail over the Panama Papers is the guy who contracted to have that journalist car bombed.
If he had done nothing, his corruption and bribery might have blown over, but he decided to murder his problems away. And while police could give two shits about financial crime, they do care about murder.
Thing is, a lot of people think tax fraud is perfectly fine. Not quite so many people think raping kids is okay.
Okay, well Trump almost certainly raped kids. Bill Clinton too. We have a lot of evidence suggesting that. Many members of Congress in fact - MTG said the quiet part out loud and openly threatened them about it (a few months back when that one guy paid underage prostitutes on Venmo)
But it doesn't seem to matter, does it? Why isn't there a mob outside MTG's house demanding she explains why she's protecting child rapists?
We all know already. Why would another scrap of evidence matter? Why aren't we demanding investigations of all of them?
People aren't ok with the tax evasion either, it just doesn't matter if no one prosecutes them
Adore would be more appropriate.
“Strive to be”
Both are kind of limp wristed
God’s Own Pedophiles
In another timeline prime minister Jimmy Savile just inspected his new concentration camp in Liverpool (arguably England's Florida).
Thanks for putting into perspective just how fucked the current situation in the US is.
People still don't get that being anti "cancel culture" was cover for being pro sex pest the entire time.
A lot of dumb assholes fought for the right for powerful and rich people to behave with impunity without even the possibility of the minor admonishment of being known as a creep and have people boycott your products or being pressured to step down from public political positions in disgrace.
Similarly, the fight against "wokeness" is the fight to remove decency toward minority groups from the cultural sphere where we had at least a veneer of progress, leaving us with very little to no progress at all. (Because it's certainly not the case that any real progress against racist, unjust institutions has occurred in the last ten years.)
Who has a link to the list of politicians convicted of sex crimes in the last ~50 years? (I am not finding it.)

Gnarly Old Pedophiles.
Pedocon theory is a theory the way gravity is a theory.
Funny, but this would be more accurate if the baby elephants trunk was on the big elephants groin
Even more accurate would be to have the kid elephant's eyes x'ed out to represent the likelihood that survivors of the GOP's pedophilia don't live long, if at all.
Ew, I don't think this message benefits from added accuracy
If you're not physically revolted by the merest hint of the concept, it's because someone else wasn't accurate enough in conveying the fucking concept to you.
We owe it to the victims to never allow one iota of "normal" to seep into this. 🤢✊🏼
