We want the release of the Epstein Files, not the Epstein Pedophiles....

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 51 points 2 days ago
[-] tym@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Is this a good time to remind/inform everyone that they have billboards in the southern US that say "she's your daughter, not your date"? Murican women are in danger (moreso than usual)

[-] DoctorNope@lemmy.world 92 points 2 days ago

Ah, see, you think you heard that MAGA was going to “release the Epstein files” but what they actually said was “we’re going to release the Epstein pedophiles.” Yeah, they’re letting everyone involved with him off the hook.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

The Epstein 'philes

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

I can see this as an actual tactic. It means that do-gooders have to handle each and every one of the released, or be forced to focus on just one.

Considering the nature of MAGA, unleashing violent criminals upon the innocent remains in character. 😞

And what meaningful action are Dems taking to stop it?

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago

Strongly worded letter SLAMMING them for corruption

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Democrats can't do anything. They don't have the capacity to accomplish anything useful. They're absolutely powerless.

That's why you should vote for them.

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 days ago

What action can they take?

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 1 day ago

You don't get it. The minority party somehow has the power to do whatever they want; they just don't because they're exactly as bad as Republicans.

/S

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I don't really know what it is you're trying to say there, but perhaps you're unaware that the dems are the minority party in both the house and senate at the moment, and as such, they have insufficient voting power to counter that of the gop maga regime.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

A firm email is being drafted.

(Epstein Island was a rare example of bipartisan effort)

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Rare?

Democrats have a pattern of vocally opposing issues only after they irreparably solidify them.

In 1986 they helped pass draconian drug laws and mandatory minimums that supercharged mass incarceration, then decades later turned around and branded the “war on drugs” a moral failure.

In 1994 they wrote and championed the crime bill that funded more cages and longer sentences; only once whole communities were gutted did it become fashionable for them to “reckon” with mass incarceration.

In 1996 they joined Republicans to “end welfare as we know it,” slapping work requirements and time limits on poor families, then years later started admitting it deepened extreme poverty.

That same ’90s crew pushed NAFTA and the broader free-trade consensus that helped ship industrial jobs overseas, then reinvented themselves as champions of the working class once the damage was locked in.

They joined in financial deregulation at the end of the decade, tearing down New Deal banking walls, and after the 2008 crash, suddenly discovered the virtues of regulation.

On social issues it’s the same story: they crafted “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and passed DOMA, then only when public opinion flipped did they pretend they’d always been on the side of LGBT rights.

They voted for the 2002 Iraq AUMF and let Bush have his war, then spent the next decade calling it a catastrophic mistake.

They backed the 2006 Secure Fence Act to harden the southern border, then later denounced wall-style politics as cruel and nativist.

So no, Epstein Island wasn’t some weird one-off “bipartisan moment.” Bipartisanship is the rule whenever it comes to locking people up, bombing someone, cutting social supports, or serving corporate interests, and Democrats in particular have a long record of helping build the machinery first and only discovering their consciences after it’s too late to dismantle it. At least the Republicans consistently tell you they hate you to your face.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 1 day ago

So your problem with Democrats is that they're capable of admitting they were wrong?

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Nice twist.

My problem is that they're always on the wrong side of history, and only start using the vulnerable as rhetoric after they can't kill and maim them profitably.

They don't serve us, they use as to serve the capitalist class.

Pay the Pedo King enough and you'll get a pardon

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 131 points 2 days ago

This is gross.

There’s no way she should get released. What she did is beyond atrocious.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

she will flee the US the moment she is released.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Why would she need to?

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 46 points 2 days ago

She’ll be on the streets in 3 days and 2 checks

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Her half way house address is

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20500, United States.

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago
[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 11 points 2 days ago

she will flee to the UK or another EU country to avoid further prosecution, the mistake is she mostly stayed in places where she would get captured easily the first time.

[-] dumpsterfire@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

probably an untouchable country daddy works for

[-] BeardedBlaze@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Are you implying UK or most of EU shield people from extraditionto the US?

And the gop goes wild. Finally the human trafficking can continue.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

"...explained that releasing grand jury materials from Maxwell’s case “would create undue prejudice so severe that it would foreclose the possibility of a fair retrial”

There it is. The excuse to redact/withhold whatever they want as ransom to keep her in prison

[-] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Correct me if I'm wrong. They're saying there's so much evidence that there'd be no defense. That's an unfair trial? So basically, do a bunch of evil shit and you'll get away with it. As long as you got loads of money.

[-] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

Well she trafficked underage girls who were sexually abused by rich men as part of a Mossad honeypot. Not like she did anything wrong.

[-] deHaga@feddit.uk 20 points 2 days ago

Her father was a triple agent for the UK, Russia and Israel, I'm sure he'd be very proud, had he not 'fell' off his boat when he stopped being useful

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Only an anti-Semite would believe otherwise.

[-] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago

The most depressing part is that she'll get her release. She'll find a way to bribe Trump, and he'll give her a presidential pardon because he's a whore. Then she'll go back to what she was doing before and business will continue like usual for them because everybody will move on from it just like they did with the Panama papers before it and the Snowden leaking the NSA's mass surveillance even further back. Accountability and justice are dead in this timeline.

It will be interesting to watch all the sAvEtHeChIldReN qtards trying to spin this if Taco were to release this child molester.

While they are doing that, I sure hope some people take it upon themselves to ask these idiots when "The Storm" is supposedly coming? And how does freeing Ghislaine the child molester figure into this supposed "Storm", LOL?

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 days ago

The current MAGA position seems to be that they weren't children, they were just very very very young adults...

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 9 points 2 days ago

And of course trafficking adults for the purposes of sexual exploitation is fine

remember she is a honeypot of source, she has ties to mossad through her father, just for blackmail purposes.

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 days ago

Disgusting fucking perverts.

[-] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

"Quiet" pardon incoming.

"Quiet" in that the media, most especially Fox News, will not report it at all.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Grand Old PDFs

[-] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

this bitch lmao

[-] Zier@fedia.io 7 points 2 days ago

He will pardon her, and commute her sentence. He just pardoned a massive, evil drug lord.

Hahahaha oh my fucking god this is absolutely insane
