So the Epstein files were going to expose Democrats.
Then they were on the AG's desk.
Then they didn't exist.
Then they were a Dem hoax.
Then Trump didn't want them released.
Now he wants them released.
But they're not gonna.

Yes
This is why I am very suspicious of the near-unanimous Republican vote to release.
1) They are assured that Trump is protected
2) They believe the files will somehow screw the Dems
Or both
Expect MAGA media to manipulate and smear the files contents much as they did with the Mueller Report.

There is zero, repeat, zero chance that Trump will release the Epstein Files unless they are 100% sanitized and totally doctored.

Correct.
2024 was our shot to put this all to bed as a mistake of history.
But people didnt show up to vote.
Now, the fight is permanent.
Once Trump dies, that will change things majorly, but the fight with his billionaire backers will go on.

A man who speaks to reporters in a tone like Trump does ("Quiet Piggy!") is wholly unfit to be President.
All else aside, his inability to control his emotions is a matter of grave national security threat.
As someone who specializes in diplomacy, I assure you our enemies are exploiting this.

Throughout all US history, we have oscillated between eras of growth & eras of deterioration.
During both, folks blamed immigrants and "others" for their troubles.
It happened with Black people.
It happened with Irish people.
It is happening now with Hispanic people.
And all 3 built this nation.

In the wake of the previous 10 years, it is clear to me (and should be to you as well!) that our government must undergo a series of extremely important patches to fix the fabric of our nation, such that this abject bullshit can never ever happen again.

It is NOT astonishing or shocking that Trump is fighting just as hard to keep the Epstein Files secret as he is to keep from disbursing food to starving families.
This is EXACTLY who and what he is, and has always been.

Trump is in the ‘I’m gonna burn it all down’ phase of his rebuttal to his deep ties with Epstein. Going after JP Morgan Chase will not end well for him or his billionaire benefactors and my guess it there is talk of 25A soon.

The rich are in a conundrum;
They went all-in on using Trump to get what they wanted
And they got it
Nearly all of our regulations and institutions are destroyed
But...Epstein
So is it still profitable to shield Trump?
Or do they pivot off now with their loot bags in hand?

Hypothetically, if the Epstein Files happened to contain incontrovertible evidence that Donald Trump raped and then beat a child to death, I don't think it would matter at all to Republicans.
I don't like being cynical, but it sure seems like that's where we are with this stuff.

My prediction about the Epstein Files is that when they finally do get released, they will be heavily redacted (just like the Mueller Report was), which will give cover to the lie of "exonerated" Donald, before Dems win the midterms, investigate, reveal the truth, and impeach his ass a third time.

1) Trump causes chaos in summer 2026
2) Dems win midterms anyway
3) Trump claims elections were "stolen"...again
4) Dems sworn in anyway
5) House investigates him
6) House impeaches him...again
7) Senate fails to convict...again
8) Dems win Pres in 2028

We have all lived through a major shift in the Repub Party.
They've become an ugly cult of personality cornered on fascism.
Likewise, we are all living through the beginnings of what will be a transformation of the Dem Party. Its obvious.
The last time our parties morphed like this was the 1960's.

What the flaming hell is wrong with a country that refuses to feed its own people while simultaneously building a $300 million dollar gold-plated ballroom?
I thought this was supposed to be "the greatest country on earth"?
I thought you were "Making America Great Again"?

This.
And those around him know it.
Which is part of the reason they are acting in the manner they are; to solidify their ghoulish, awful, villainous power and wealth before he finally, at long last, kicks the god damn bucket.

He is dying. It’s clear to see. But he will drag us all down before he goes. He will starve as many children as possible and separate all the families he can. He will fill his already fat pockets with money meant for disabled veterans and the unhoused. He will spread misery until his last breath.

There are not enough characters in a single post for me to express the depth and intensity of the rage I feel toward Republicans, nor the abject sadness, disappointment, and betrayal I feel with respect to the Democrat Party's pathetic lackadaisical behavior in the face of outright tyranny.

Wait a sec...
Is Trump so god damn dumb that he doesnt know the difference between gold paint and real gold?
Is someone paining shit gold, telling him its real, and pocketing the difference?
...I suppose it doesnt matter much. He'd lie that something was gold ESPECIALLY if he knew it wasnt.

Very aware.
And they frankly aren't taking it anymore.
The election results of 2024 and 2025 show it point-blank;
They are very motivated to vote AGAINST Trump.
But will not turn out FOR the Democrats.
The Party MUST turn away from "riding the 3rd rail" of fascism and move toward the real LEFT.

Lawrence O’Donnell is once again defending the Democrats. There is no compromise. We know what Republicans are and what they do. They lie and cheat. They will do whatever Trump wants. Read the room, Lawrence. The youth of today are aware of how much we have been betrayed.

As in most things political or diplomatic, there are shades of grey to the Democrat decision to end the shutdown.
We can hold 2 competing ideas simultaneously;
Yes, I am angry with the Party for caving, and I do not accept excuses.
But I also understand why they did.
And we can now aim forward.

Definitely a one-way street.
We do not see this with Republicans.
At the least, it is not nearly as common for them.

We have to create a way to easily get rid of politicians who lie about their political party to get elected then change parties afterwards. This is becoming common place with so-called Democratic politicians.

Look for the full weight of media tp crush down on Mamdani to distort, magnify, and exaggerate every minor failure he msy have, and to blunt, tamp-down, or ignore every success he achieves.
He represents a real danger to moneyed powers. And they will use every resource they can against him.

More than anything else, my takeaway is this;
Can Dems win without Trump?
We don't know yet, but it appears that if they leave Centrism behind and go Progressive, the answer is YES.
Can the GOP win without Trump?
No. It does not appear so.
They are a cult of personality.
When he dies, its over.
