    Because there will be Democrats and rich donors implicated as well, all sides are neck deep in it otherwise something would have been actioned a long time ago.

    Because the files were sealed due to an active DOJ investigation, I understand.

    That changed when Pam Bondi said the investigation was complete.

    It's time for Trump's opponents to take allies where they can get them, even if temporary. If Greene is willing to turn on Trump, don't focus too much on what she's been like previously. This is where the political right has outfoxed the left as they'll embrace such people, whereas the left demands some kind of ostensible moral standard. She may be crazy but she's also pretty determined and a decent bet to lead the charge on the Epstein leaks.

    She tweeted today that she is receiving death threats because of the rhetoric aimed at her by the President of the United States of America.

    That's an incredible statement from a member of Congress when the President is from the same party as them. And she's right, Trump is siccing the dogs of social media on her with his Truth Social posts. And he's trying to do the same thing with another Republican, Thomas Massie, posting about him and his wife and saying she'll realize soon she's stuck with a loser.

    Incredible the way she was able to spout vitriol at the left for years without fear of violence, and she turns on MAGA for one day and.....

    Is this what Trump is trying to do with the Clinton investigation now?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,605 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    It is probable.

    That said, I think the dam has broken.

    More stuff will be released, as The Phantom of The Opera gets played in the White House at increased volume day after day....

    This is period of a couple days in the Trump administration.

    Tweet Content

    • an expose revealing our HHS Sec "still uses psychedelics, and even smoked dimethyltryptamine."
    • a report that the Dept FBI Director wasn't given a background check
    • a report that Michael Flynn may get a $50m settlement???
    • The president sic-ing the DOJ—overtly—on Democrats tied to a sex predator that he himself is tied to
    • The Attorney General happily agreeing to his request
    • A report that the DHS sec sent millions in ad contracts to a firm tied to her
    • A congressman alleging that Trump's wanna-be assassin may have been "groomed"

    More crazy stories than the entirety of Bidens Administration.

    It's a sh1t show.

    The MAGA movement seems hugely split on the Epstein files and if anything the 'don't release them' brigade appear to be the minority.

    Many of them are asking the very pertinent question that if Trump is not in the files or implicated in any way, why on earth would he and his Republican disciples / flunkies seek to block their release?

    Advice from one who knows….



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,846 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    Trump could really get one up on Biden by releasing them, couldn’t he? Own them libs



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,116 ✭✭✭Ozymandius2011


    On the argument that Biden didnt release the files, that is true. But he prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell, and didnt move her to a low security prison that is practically a holiday camp.

    Can you imagine if Biden has released them?

    There would have been screams that Biden was weaponusing the DOJ to target Trump.

    Trump got 34 convictions and his supporters waved it away.

    There was no upside to releasing the files. It would have all gone away, Epstein was dead Maxwell in prison, but Trump made it an issue because he thought the Dems wouldn't do anything and once in power he would simply ignore it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,682 ✭✭✭Patrick2010


    Trump was asked on airforce one yesterday if he’d give Maxwell a pardon and said he hadn’t ruled it out. Was this a message to her to keep her mouth shut and she’ll be out soon



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,577 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    TBH, fuck her. She enabled the orange shitbag and now she's on the end if his abuse and the abuse of his idiot army.

    Absolutely zero sympathy.

    As always what are they distracting from.

    In other news. There's a $330m arms deal with Taiwan. https://thedefensepost.com/2025/11/14/us-military-sale-taiwan/

    Business as usual as they are the main supplier to that part of China. And Trump's 20% tariffs are still in place. West Taiwan will roll out the usual sound bites.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,605 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Absolutely!

    I'm old enough to remember her following David hogg, School shooting victim, around while screaming abuse.

    That said, any in fighting amongst MAGA should be encouraged

    Wonder what reason the GOP reps will give for voting against releasing the Epstein files except because their boss will be implicated?

    she is going to be championed in the media for the next while for going against Trump… until she does something crazy/evil and people will have to distance themselves from her

    "It's a hoax, all fake nooz, total hoax to hurt the president"

    They'll say that it will polarise the country, now is not the time, it would undermine national security, etc…

    Everything conservatives say is disposable.

    They will parrot their masters utterances even knowing none of them stand up too the most basic scrutiny.

    I see mention that Trump's "Truth Social" chatbot is doing something he doesn't when he posts there, so I posted a question on the internet: Has there been any problem for Trump with his "truth social" going rogue?

    According to some sources, the chatbot tells the opposite, as in:

    Q: Do Trump’s Tariffs cost the American people money?

    Truth Search AI: Yes. Tariffs are taxes on imports that U.S. importers pay and largely pass on through higher prices, so the costs are borne mainly by American businesses and consumers.

    Q: Did Donald Trump lie about the 2020 election being “rigged” and “stolen?”

    Truth Search AI: Yes. Courts, Trump’s own advisers, and official investigations found no evidence that the 2020 election was “rigged” or “stolen,” despite his repeated claims.

    Q: Did people storm the U.S. Capitol on January 6, [2021], because of Donald Trump?

    Truth Search AI: Yes. Multiple official and contemporaneous records attribute the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach to a pro‑Trump crowd mobilized around his false election‑fraud claims and pressure campaign to stop certification.

    Q: How many wars has Trump ended since taking office in 2025?

    Truth Search AI: None. There is no verified instance of President Trump formally ending a war since taking office in January 2025.

    Q: Have grocery prices gone down since Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, 2025?

    Truth Search AI: Short answer: No. As of 2025, grocery prices have not fallen since Jan. 20, 2025; they have continued to rise modestly on net.

    Analysis of how a US invasion of Venezuela might go.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,365 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    It seems Mark Epstein has posted that the "Bubba" mentioned in the Emails sent between him and his brother Jeff is NOT Bill Clinton. It's entirely possible that Mark may be interested in putting the boot into Trump and MAGA as a matter of course seeing as there is blood in the water between senior MAHA heads.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,365 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    It'll be worth the media's time to keep a close watch on where Trump and his senior cabinet members stay over the week and how close they "quarter" with "spearhead" and Venezuela in close proximity. I don't reckon that their War Minister will be stupid enough to use non-military Comms to send and receive orders but…..

    ”Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul—all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been—arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn’t just lose its soul—it **** out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.”

    - Oliver Kornetzke
