-You do that every day

STFU, liar.

"I think that Zed was surprised when Epstein got rushed through by the Senate."

-The worse side always says both sides are equally bad.

wrong on so many levels

there is no "worse side" saying anything.

I am not saying both sides are equally bad.

I'm saying there is no moral high road considering the widespread knowledge of this degenerate's actions for the past 2 decades.

You're not smart enough to grasp that very very very very very very simple point.

-when you use absolute language like "nobody."

That's for effect. Of course there are no absolutes but I'm still daring everyone to paint me a picture of the road and who's on it.

If all one has is "yeah yeah yea......but you're just covering for the GOP" --------.....then you've got nothing. I'm not covering for anyone. I'm not minimizing anyone's bad acts.

I'm simply adding some bad acts to the overall situation by pointing out that Epstein was a known(by everyone) bad guy for a long long time.

Exactly.

When did anybody even pretend to care about Epstein's victims until that POS's mugshot was on CNN?

They knew about them......for a couple decades in some cases. When did they start giving a ---- (sorry...PRETEND to give a ----)?

Answer? when it became a public spectacle.

Simply not engaging in the raping and pedophilia isn't a pass to travel on the moral high ground because you KNEW about it and did nothing.

and if you're wondering why folks you admire in politics haven't screamed about this much nor screamed sooner.........this is why

The assumption is that folks are worried they will get placed on that island or near Epstein in some way.

That might accurately describe some for sure but I believe most of the hesitation and apparent hypocrisy isn't based on that.

It's based on the reality that it's going to be obvious to the public these folks KNEW what was going on and didn't care enough about the victims enough to do something.

Not until now............LOL

well said.

I'm sure some reasonable people would love to weigh in on this but when a single poster, who everyone here reviles, is sucking up all the oxygen....it's hard to get a word in edge-wise.

But if someone who isn't a drug addled POS psycho wants to weigh in....that would be great.

If there is a moral high road.....show me that road, and tell me who's on it.

Without paying any attention to the speedballing energizer bunny.......I'm not trying to minimize the lack of morals on the part of the republican party.

I'm saying there is no moral high road. I realize the intrigue is always an attempt to do that......pave a moral high road by attacking the other side.

But with Epstein.........it's silly to pretend there is one.

-MAGA has taken over what is left of the Republican Party.

Nobody took anything over.

They just changed names.

Yesterday, they were deplorables.....today, they are MAGA.

Tomorrow? a new name....but same people.

-You don't give a rat's ass about any of these victims.

Of course not.

People need to stop pretending there is a moral high road here.

Everyone in politics knew Epstein was a POS with an island with these parties for many many years prior to him getting busted.

Nobody in the power structure found out what a POS Epstein was when he was arrested and it all became public. They all knew for a long long time.

They didn't care.

Once he was busted, references to "files" and the fact Epstein was talking to law enforcement....THEN it became a public spectacle. At that point, it becomes a political weapon.

A weapon Trump has used along with everyone else.

The victims are practically forgotten. They should be the center of this. But they aren't even in the circle, much less the center.

Trump is in the center. He wanted to be there but plenty of people on both sides PLACED HIM IN THE CENTER which, of course is where wanted to be anyway.

An argument can be made that nobody cared Epstein and his friend were pedos and rapists until it became a political weapon suitable for public consumption.

-Stick to your ------- role at the bath house, fat bitch.

He's been promoted to the assistant the branch manager.....get it right, please.

JFC, someone is on speed.

Did anybody actually give 2 ----- about the fact Epstein was a pedophile?

apparently, he was an asset....until he wasn't.

The pedo stuff was just a problem for law enforcement. Not Congress or the White House.

Epstein was a friend to many folks in DC. The pedo stuff was just a distraction....until he ends up in a jail cell.

-Apparently Bill doesn't understand simple social and emotional cues.

Or he pretends not to understand.

"Anyone who is trying to defend in-person voting ONLY"

Besides BJ, who is doing that?

I'm fine with it as well.

-How many of you have been with a woman, started touching or initiating foreplay, and did not stop everything to formally ask, "Before we go any further, may I put my finger in there?"

You don't ask. You make the move. But if she doesn't want it then she will make that obvious. She will push hand away or say something.

You don't have to verbally ask. And that doesn't put her at risk.

There has never been any confusion about that.

-And all your sanctimonious insistence on in-person voting being the only secure way to vote

He said he has no problem with mail in voting.

I think the sanctimony is coming from you.

-Is getting your finger stinky rape?

Pretend it's your daughter ... ... or son

It's sexual assault.

-I wouldn't really trust anything released by the government.

Neither does anyone else, really. It's just that they didn't think around the corner enough to realize it until the GOP and Trump eventually call for the release.

Everyone chanting "Release The Files!l" over and over didn't think that far ahead.

Here we are. Soon, those folks will be taking their ball and going home in a huff.

Trump broke into the warehouse, opened the file cabinet ... ..and removed the photos of him screwing 13 year olds.

Sort of ... ... .

-Then why was Trump so adamant about not releasing them?

This is a guess but could it be so people would think he was afraid of releasing them?

Theater? Drama? Being in the news?

-Would you agree Trump and GOP leadership was going to great lengths to keep them under wraps?"

Great lengths? You mean merely just say no?

The realization NOW is that the game is rigged?

No ----??? You're all on Capt. Obvious's squad ... ..LOL

This is why I never got excited about these files in the first place.

They either have nothing because there is nothing or the information truly damaging to Trump and many others has been removed or altered.

-Address you, or comment on a post I saw?

Address me.

Your choice. You made it. Stop crying.

The only thing that was 100% predictable was that if these files (that everyone has already decided what they say) were released and don't produce what you want will be corrupt, incomplete, basically Trump was allowed access to them so he can control the information. Even falsify the information.

Which is funny because you could have saved yourselves the work and just declare "they're fake!!!!!" From the beginning.

LOL

-Files have been cleaned of anything extremely embarrassing, or

So it was a planned delay?

The files everyone so desperately wanted released are suddenly "scrubbed" because Trump wants them released?

They were fine ... ... ... ... ..until then?
