    What you are witnessing is lawyers speaking in Attornese. Maybe there never was an 'Epstein List'.... but there was definitely a Maxwell List.
    Gislaine was the bookeeper. She was the one convicted of trafficking. She had the list(s), which were presented as evidence in her trial. That has been acknowledged to by numerous DOJ officials confirming its existence and that it is currently held under seal pending further investigation. Nobody of consequence is currently talking about that list...at least not openly. All they have acknowledged is there is no Epstein List and the case against him (no mention of others) is closed.

    As to who is on The List...who knows? Is the government holding it as leverage against powerful people all over the world? Quite possible. Dangle a high-profile but politically impotent and unimportant member of the Royal family as a public example of what could happen if a target doesn't toe the line? Plausible.

    That said, MAGA is not happy about any of this and doesn't care what administration is sitting in the big chair at 1600; something more needs to happen on this matter. The issue isn't going to go away on its own...Or maybe it will. DJT piles up a bunch of Ws, deports 20+ million illegals, and the economy booms, nobody is going to care about The List. Same result if the GOP loses the mid terms and he gets impeached/removed.

    OK seriously I am only surprised by one thing on this Epstein BS. That would be, the number of ppl that actually thought all true info would be released if it exists. Come on people , how many years have you exited on this planet , I mean really!

    DJT's indignant attitude on the topic today was not a good look. Since when has he ever passed on the opportunity to talk smack on any topic in the name of impropriety?

    Since the OBBB was passed 4 days ago, we have gotten:
    • amnesty floated
    • arms to Ukraine
    • Epsteingate
      • scolded for asking about Epsteingate
    • a visit from Bibi
      • a Nobel PP nomination from Bibi
    Makes one wonder what those congressional votes cost.
    ...Oh well, at least I can claim full SALT deductions. Seems fitting since we apparently live in Sodom and Gomorrah.

    The gaslighting that’s coming from conservatives that are defending Trumps/DOJs course of action is crazy rn.

    Not shocked at all, it's what cults do. Remember the outrage here by some, pretty quite these days on the Epstein, besides a few. Respect as always for those who speak out.

    I think everyone on the list should be hung. There is no latitude when it comes to that shiz. But as Diddy as proof money closes doors and erases memory. It's a disgusting system

    We would be shocked at the "goings on" of politicians. When FDR died at Warm Springs, GA, the housekeeper told his mistress she needed to leave before the Secret Service got there. Book, When the Mob Ruled Las Vegas, told of JFK and RFK, Sr., visiting Frank Sinatra's mountain retreat; described as a weekend orgy, basically. There was a book I spotted at BAM...Sex Lives of the Presidents. One passage mentioned a president got surprised and hid his mistress in a closet.

    I have come to believe, in my 22 years of being old enough to vote, that the cultural obsession with who is president and what that person does or does not do, is a deliberate play by both sides to take the focus off congress and its deliberate inability to do anything close to what the people want; on either side. While the president is important, the cultural and media focus on the presidency and increasing influence of executive branch, has hidden the gross incompetence's of the congress and uselessness of the legislative branch. Congress needs to be gutted before any real change that will last beyond executive orders will take place.

    And the USEFULNESS of the political judicial system. We have a system determined to be locked down so they can blowhard about what they’re going to do when they’re in charge

    No tax on overtime really sounded good, until you realize what it actually says.

    Wouldn't have changed my vote either way, but I'm sure it did for many.

    Politics......
