"global criminal enterprise"

Fascinating that the original MAGA intuition concerning a world-wide sex crime syndicate is proving to be real.

Hillarious that more MAGA will end up being caught in this conspiracy than anyone else.

At the bottom of this sewer we will find Donald Trump.

So.... looks like Q was right about an International Pedophile Ring of Elitists.

Just not Hillary's Fault(tm) located in a the basement of a basement-free pizza shop.

Likely this was put out blaming Dems because the Elitists knew it was going to come out some time.

Trumpstein Files Could Expose Crimes Against Humanity

The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.

That's just the official GOP platform for the last 70 years.

Ike was the last human being Republican Pres... the rest have all been evil bots for the Oligarchy.

Billionaires never forgave FDR for taxing them and restricting their tax loopholes, or JFK and LBJ for a more humane Great Society.

Republican Revenge was Reagan and the Reaganomics of Trickle Down... which NEVER EVER werked, according to the people who invented it... and was another of their Crimes Against Humanity, including Citizens United and Corporate Personhood.

And how many years did the government know all this prior to 2025?

Oh,the files were sealed so the prior administrations couldn't act. They didn't know what was in millions of records.

There just wasn't enough evidence to act.

No one knew...

At this point - we all know that the Epstein files are not going to result in anything - and that pisses me off. This was bungled by 4+ administrations because BOTH SIDES are protecting their rich (usually Jewish) donors that were blackmailed by Epstein. To make matters worse, we have these 'victims' out doing press conferences - these women were all 18+ when they met Epstein and are no more than prostitutes feeling regret. Worse, most of them went on to recruit other girls for Epstein making them co-conspirators and human traffickers too. That is why they won't name-names - they have the stink on them from their own actions. They best that we can possibly hope for would be to have these 'victim's actually name names and publicly shame the abusers. However, that probably won't happen as we see Democrats really not caring - such as Woody Allen and Roman Polanski still being celebrated despite both of them raping underage girls.

Can any of you liberals explain how you can listen to this taped phone call and not demand Woody be strung up?

Woody Allen has never run for, nor been elected to, the office of president.

You are an idiot.

So you are only interested in Trump or other politicians? That is why no one takes you dipshits seriously because your outrage is performance only. If you gave 2 shits about the kids, you would have demanded Woody face justice. But, you don't. You deflect. I want all the pedos strung up - don't care which party they belong to.

You're an apologist for Trump and fascism. Just a nasty little Nazi man. You usually crawl out when things are going bad for your Fuhrer. As they are now.

Read this real slow dipshit:

@#7 ... At this point - we all know that the Epstein files are not going to result in anything ...

If that is "what we all know," then why is Pres trump apparently trying so hard to perpetute a cover-up?

Release the Epstein files, of course, with the names and identifying information of the victims redacted.

@#11 ... So you are only interested in Trump or other politicians? ...

Your comment was not directed at me, but allow me to respond anyway.

My concern is not in who might be caught up in the whole Epstein affair.

My concern is for the Justice that the victims of Mr Epstein deserve.

Democrat or Republican culpability? I could not care less.

I want Justice for the victims.

Why does Pres Trump seem to be so against that Justice?

Justice for the victims of Mr Epstein.
