Because everyone knows what’s in the files and it didn’t change anything then, and it doesn’t change anything now.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

To be honest, I had no idea Trump was blowing Bubba and Putin has pictures
Yeah, that one was actually a surprise.
What was a surprise is not knowing if it was bill or a horse.
I have only read a few emails, but is there no chance they're just being evil and crass and making jokes? I have no doubt Trump is guilty of heinous crimes, but like, surely they're joking about him blowing the horse?? I guess nothing is off the table at this point, but still
For MAGA, it's not about Trump, it's about the things he is supposed to do for them. Proving Trump is bad will accomplish nothing, that's already been done. You have to either prove he is not going to do the thing they want, or show that he is so overwhelmingly grotesque it still isn't worth it to support him. The former strategy is hampered by the right wing misinformation bubble, and the latter is not a realistic strategy for a population mostly indifferent to decency.
Nicely worded.
It’s almost like you need to actually fight these people rather than assume they’ll come around if you just show them how wrong they are.
I'm increasingly of the opinion it's cultural narcissism. Look into DARVO - Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender - and you'll see the majority of responses from these talking heads, including the shitty Garfield cosplayer currently in office.
How perfect.
This is a great example of how it is that the right is always wrong, but always has followers anyway. It's because they live in a doggedly self-affirming fantasy world in which they blithely believe unsupported nonsense like QAnon while just as blithely disregarding simple fact like the Epstein files, all based not on evidence or logic, but just based on whether or not it fits their preconceptions.
It's a perfect little delusional universe where they're free to be told whatever they want to believe and ignore whatever they don't want to believe.
I mean what exactly is the news? Known rapist had rapist friends?
Maybe people are starting to care about actual policy.
