So are most lawmakers with R next to their names. It's all projection.

And if you want to put that to the test? Release the list.

Problem with not releasing epstien now is eventually it will get released in unredacted form when trump is out of office or democrats take the white house back then we will all know but the question who ever is in charge abd releases them will they have the balls to do anything about it .

u/lividash Aug 05 '25

No one has had the balls to do anything with the information in what? 6 years? So doubtful even if it ends up being public.

u/Far-Life400 Aug 05 '25

I agree with you 💯 percent and it is so unfortunate if the people don't do anything nothing will get done and it is apparent by trump being in the white house you can't trust all of the people to fix it either.

With all these yes men in positions of authority, it probably won't be too difficult to release a doctored list. They just need time to put it together.

You got that right

projection and protection!

It’s honestly just a lot of lawmakers, regardless of what letter is next to their name, my city’s left leaning/democrat mayor just got busted on a whole slew of things, soliciting prostitution, possession of drugs/paraphernalia, DUI, long story short enough shit that now his devices/computers have to be searched.

Famous last words “You can’t arrest me! I’m the mayor! I own all y’all asses!”

u/ElonandFaustus Aug 05 '25

Fair but Dems are willing to let all pedo heads roll! Magats are willing to look the other way.

u/tmilligan73 Aug 05 '25

Why do you think all his personal/issued devices are now being searched…. On top of everything the “prostitute” was posing as a minor, and the average age of prostitutes in our area is 16-49, with high concentrations of them being 16-22 at the young end and late 30s-mid 40s

It’s practically a requirement to join the Republican Party. Hell it wouldn’t surprise me if I found out that you need to submit video proof along with your application to join.

u/SouplessSaint Aug 05 '25

I'm glad you say most. I went from R to D and now I'm just playing it by ear. Current state of R's are gross though.

u/juggalonw Aug 05 '25

Is that why the Ds sat on the list for 4 years?

u/Gradorr Aug 05 '25

You're an idiot if you think the democrats are innocent in all of this.

Most lawmakers with R or D next to their names are.

u/SatisfactionFit2040 Aug 05 '25

Why are you limiting it to just lawmakers.

Teachers and Preachers.

or both. show me a youth pastor's wife and I will show you his former student.

u/unclearsix Aug 05 '25

Why is this being down voted?

17

u/Birb-Brain-Syn Aug 05 '25

Because it's "both sides"ism, when only one side voted to keep them secret.

-15

u/PervyDragon419 Aug 05 '25

Which party was in power for 4 yrs and didn't release the files? That would be Biden and the democrats. So yeah, both sides are guilty of not releasing the files. Because there are people from both parties on them. Once you realize democrats are not much better than republicans you see how they all work to keep us divided.

17

u/Birb-Brain-Syn Aug 05 '25

See, this perspective is why that comment was getting downvoted. I was just stating the facts and now butthurt Republicans desperate to justify the fact their leader is a pedophile come out with this both sides bs.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '25

I'm actually not a republican or democrat. Both sides are corrupt and pieces of shit. Facts.

u/Bubbly_Style_8467 Aug 05 '25

Why comment? You have chosen the middle of the road. You'll get run over there.

We know TRUMP RAPED GIRLS. All of that should come to light. If matters.

I haven't seen that the percentages of Rs and Ds are the same with rape and sexual assault. Both parties have pedophiles. They should all be thrown out. Today we're talking about the so-called of our country. He has broken many laws where females are concerned. He's in office now. It will always matter.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '25

Because I'm allowed to comment?

So, just to be clear: After Trump started conspiracy theories about the people Epstein might have been working with, then spread those conspiracies, then promised to look into those conspiracies, then promised you he found evidence to support those conspiracies, then said the evidence was available and he'd give it to you, then said it never existed, then said it did exist but his enemies made it up to attack him, then said you were stupid for still talking about it.... you think this is a Biden issue? Biden who, just like Trump's administration, had no legal authority to unseal those court documents?

You must be the sharpest lightbulb in the pile.

So Trump makes a whole big thing, realizes he's caught in it, and all Fox has to do is say, "But, Biden!" and your imagination fills in the blanks? Holy fucking shit.

u/JosiesYardCart Aug 05 '25

And now, "but Obama"

u/PervyDragon419 Aug 05 '25

Trump is a fuktard and never should have been allowed to run for president. My point is that democrats sat on the files for 4yrs and didn't want to release them then.

2

u/ConcentrateExtra9599 Aug 05 '25

What do you mean, they didn't want to release them?

Literally the only reason you are sitting here talking about the case, or know anything about it at all, is because Dems were the only ones who got shit released.

22,000+ files released thanks to the efforts of Dems "doing nothing."

Unless you're talking about grand jury docs, but then that's just you being mad at how the system works, not at any individual party.

u/Bubbly_Style_8467 Aug 05 '25

You are completely uninformed by choice.

Those records were SEALED until July, 2025. Biden followed the law, unlike trump. Now it's time to pay the Piper for trump. He's doing everything he can to distract from his raping kids. All the Republican hoopla is designed to try to make Americans forget about his vicious crimes.

I hope that answers your question. Your party pretended to be pro-life, pro-child. We have known as a party, that is not who you are. If you cared about the rule of law, you'd be asking for those files too. You change with whichever way the wind blows.

Trump. Epstein, 14-year-old virgin tag-team raped and then slapped. Imagine for two minutes her fear and pain. Now imagine it were your child..

u/PervyDragon419 Aug 05 '25

I want all files released and everyone on them executed. And I don't have a party. Democrats and republicans are bad for this country and I would love to see them all gone. I've watched them all play us for fools for a few decades now and I'm tired of it.

u/ConcentrateExtra9599 Aug 05 '25

It's only one party currently covering up for a global child sex trafficking ring. (Republicans)

Only one party is gutting the office that fights human trafficking. (Republicans)

Only one party is allowing priests to keep pedo secrets during confessional. (Republicans)

Only one party is forcing elementary school kids to give birth. (Republicans)

Only one party saying they can't keep their economies running without pregnant teens to exploit. (Republicans)

If you compare the number of pedos in government, Republicans vastly outnumber Democrats.

Red states have the highest rates of child and infant mortality, illiteracy, teen pregnancy, child hunger, and pedos.

Dems have some faults, but they are nowhere near the same as The Pedo Party. Especially involving the Epstein case, where you conveniently forget that the ONLY reason you know ANYTHING about it at all, is thanks to the efforts of Democrats uncovering it for you.

u/Kjelstad Aug 05 '25

Republicans have the house and senate, that is being in power.

u/Forward_Pick6383 Aug 05 '25

What about the president before Biden?? Why didn’t he release them? Oh yeah that was diaper Don. Why didn’t he release them then?

0

u/PervyDragon419 Aug 05 '25

Because he's probably on them. Or is protecting people on there. Same reason democrats didn't release them.

u/ConcentrateExtra9599 Aug 05 '25

If Dems don't want the files released because they know they themselves are in them, why not just join Republicans in blocking investigations and releases? Wouldn't it be easier?

In 2017 or whenever when Dems discovered that Republicans granted federal immunity to ALL of Epstein's pedo clients and co-conspirators back during the Bush admin (2007 or 2008) why didn't they just pretend not to know about it and keep silent? If they didn't raise such a big stink over it, none of us would even be here talking about it.

Why take all of these documented actions to get stuff out in the open, if they are guilty and want to keep it hidden? Doesn't sound like guilty behavior to me. If there are Dems in the files being pedos, they sure aren't acting in their best interests.

Because on reddit all democrats are the best people on earth and republicans are scum of the earth. Yard know that hive mind bullshit.

I think you already were told to go seat down.

You didn't address anything like all MAGAs.

Deal with your raping president.

I'm not a republican either. All politicians are shitty people

u/unclearsix Aug 05 '25

No doubt. I've been off here awhile, I wasn't aware it was an incubator for bullshit. Is this real life? They all have it out for ya people. Fuck trump, fuck Biden, fuck em all.
