Now we understand why Trump didn’t want [the Epstein files] released.

Just a week before the midterm elections, which are already shaping up to be a bloodbath for the GOP, Democrats have dropped a bombshell. “A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s,” states a just-released report from the Democrats of the House Judiciary Committee.

Additionally, they claim that Trump has leveraged his FBI and DOJ to cover up the evidence, and have now called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate any potential wrongdoing.

This is no surprise to any rational human being.

This won't change a thing. Republicans know Trump rapes kids, they've decided that it's not a deal breaker.

Finally? This has been know for years, wtf???

Wow. What a bombshell that noone has known for the better part of a decade. A revelation, truly

We finally know why the ocean is so wet: It's full of water.

The Nuremberg Trial for this guy is going to take months.

Shocking!!

Finally, we know.

We've known for quite some time.

As if the 10.000 (or more) blacked out mentions of trump in the files weren't evidence of his abundant participation...
Why is this all worded so carefully?

No mention ofcourse of how trump's pageant-business was used for and complicit in epstein's crimes.

As usual, let’s all wait with baited breath while nothing continues to happen.

The sky is also made of air as I understand.

There will be no trial.

paywalled

That would certainly be faster.

Yeah as soon as I saw the photo I said that's old hat lol

Who knew?!

he'll die peacefully in bed with zero weight on his conscience.

The only reason I can see to bring this up right now, given that this is not news at all, is to allow MAGA to claim the intention is to mess with the midterms. Which would be very telling.

This is old news

And it's blue! And the grass is green!

Um..we all pretty much got it...like years ago..decades even

Didn't we already know all this?

EUREKA! What an EPIPHANY! We finally know after all this time. Can you believe it?

My grass is brown because I haven’t seen rain since I was a wee boy

404 conscience not found

You lot have lost your minds! What next, humans need to keep breathing rather frequently in order to live? You can float ships of steel in the seas? Big metal birds carry humans in their stomachs over the sea? Madness. Madness, I say!

We absolutely did.

Lmfao, I hate the right wing but I’m sorry kiddos, it’s not gonna be a GOP blood bath. It’s gonna be a red wave in the spots it needs to be in to secure martial law and extend the presidency indefinitely.

But hey, “why didn’t anyone warn me?!?!”

Lmfao.

Because the pedo class is protecting him too.

They know what's in that report, they would never bring a libel suit because discovery would include those files and they'd fuck themselves.

Fuck off, nobody likes a defeatist shitbird

We've known that for a long time. And nothing is going to happen IF WE DON'T TAKE BACK THE BRANCHES. If you have not voted yet, do not wait any longer. You are key to finishing this.

Sorey, I’ll try again. The level in which you people are pushing back on your government is exactly the right amount to prevent you from complete and irreversible catastrophe. Please change nothing. All things deserved will be received in abundance.

And the last horse crosses the finish line. Congrats!

Exactly

we ALL knew that already, this is not even the worst of the allegations... but as expected, the brave Americans will just angrily post online and do nothing about it

Was not expecting this Slate article to be so well done.

Democrats are a bit like Internet Explorer. Slow, painfully behind, only listening to the people's demands when a court orders it to, constantly forcing itself on you when you don't want it, and sometimes it's all you got.

Oh finally, all the other horrible stuff was ignored, all is fixed now!

That has nothing to do with being a defeatists. They will cheat as hard as they can and won't admit defeat when they lose anyway.

He is not saying that all is lost and you shouldn't do anything. Just that if you don't plan for that eventuality you are an idiot and shouldn't dare to act surprised.

Damn, even "big scoop revelations!" are not what they used to be. Now all we get is decades old stale info.

Hey Slate, did you know the Beatles broke up?

I guess it depends on how you define we in that sentence. If you mean you and I yeah we knew that. If you mean the public as a whole? No unfortunately not. Lot of them are not paying attention.

That's why you have to keep saying it over and over and over again. Keep writing the stories. Keep up the investigation. Put it on the news every single night. You can't rely on something being said once and reaching the General Public. It takes a lot to reach them. You got to pound it into their brains until they know it in their bones.

Wait until they dig up Zoro ranch! Maybe in the 2030s.

Right before the election - how shocking and what a coincidence. Something something definition of insanity

you forget one - owned by corporate interests

It's amazing some people are only just now getting this.

I hope the Democrats actually pursue this and all of his corruption but I fully expect to be disappointed, the whole government is beyond repair.
