    I understand your conviction, and I'm not asking you to doubt what you believe happened. But here's the problem: Trump and his supporters believe just as strongly that the 2020 election was stolen and that Biden's DOJ is persecuting him politically. They think they're defending democracy.

    You're saying your belief justifies breaking the norm of DOJ independence because what happened was so serious. But that's exactly what they say too. If sincerity of belief is enough to justify weaponizing the DOJ, then we've just agreed there are no rules anymore, only who has power.

    You say Trump did it anyway. You're right, he did. And that's exactly why we shouldn't follow him down that path. If we abandon the principle because he violated it, we're not defending democracy, we're just fighting over who gets to control the weapon.

    His supporters are in a cult. They believe anything they’re told.

    a ton of republicans spreading the lie about the 2020 election knew it was BS as we saw with discovery in the Fox News lawsuit that they had to pay over $700 million

    they took over 60 cases to court and lost them all

    facts and evidence trump beliefs and delusions…Trump committing treason against this country and trying to overturn an election isn’t simply a belief, it happened…it’s not a maybe or a conspiracy

    not doing everything you can to ensure that a treasonous act gets dealt with is the complete opposite of defending democracy

    now people’s rights are getting stripped away in real time, citizens are being shot dead in the street or disappeared, entire groups of people have to carry around their papers when they leave the house or they’ll be detained and transported to a facility God knows where, and so much more

    now we’re seeing corruption on a scale that’s never been done in this country…we’re seeing journalists getting arrested

    So what democracy was Biden protecting? Not this one

    Sad to say, but the America you are hoping to preserve has already been flushed down the toilet this past year. Trump is a habitual line crosser because he's never faced any real consequences in his life. Closest thing might have been a week after Jan 6, but Republicans chickened out and the only lesson Trump learned was to go full dictator. So what I think Reeko is saying is we need Nuremberg trials for all these criminals that have been just following orders and have a very publicly FO moment to dissuade trampling on the constitution again. You can't have one side follow the law and the other not, that's just not sustainable.

    That photo is ANCIENT. Trump blew the whistle, kicked him out of the Palm Beach social circles, had him arrested, and released the files. The Democrats did none of these things, and all had the chance. This is why the victims are thankful for Trump -- calling him their hero. Without Trump, Epstein is still probably hosting orgies for prominent Democrats, partisan media hacks, and entertainers... Trump ended Epstein's reign of terror. And no President has done more to stop human trafficking than Trump. These are evidence-backed facts.


    GOOD DAY

    "Victims are thankful of Trump call him his hero" lol youre such a utter piece of **** human being. Lying about innocent victims to help your political leader. The victims are openly calling out Trump claiming hes hiding co conspirators and breaking the law. A few are even calling for his impeachment

    There's nothing redeemable about you. @deb4rockets these people are sincerely garbage

    Every party I ever attended in the 80s, no one ever left coke behind.
    That's a different kind of disposable income I cannot fathom.

    texxx, you keep trying to claim that they werent BFFs, but thats a lie. they very much were. trump called him a terrific guy who like young girls. he gave multiple different stories and timelines as to why they had a falling out.

    give me a break mojoman...you keep repeating the lie that the victims are thankful to trump, but many have spoken out against his actions and the fact that he is slow-walking the release of the files. pretty scummy thing to do IMO.

    again, you are trying to make this a partisan issue when its clear that his actions involved R & D, including trump.

    you are blinded by partisanship jorge.

    GOOD DAY

    There is simply no evidence Trump wrongdoing. Epstein hated Trump. That must upset you greatly!

    Amid the fallout from the partial and inept release of the government’s files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the sycophants in President Donald Trump's Department of Justice have concocted a new defense to absolve their Dear Leader and his associates of culpability in Epstein's crimes.

    "It's not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein," Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche—yes, he of giving Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell a cushy prison upgradesaid Monday night on Fox News. "It's not a crime to email with Mr. Epstein."

    “[Blanche] dismisses what happened as men partying with Epstein. That is offensive to survivors,” Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California, co-author of the legislation that forced the release of the Epstein files, said on CNN. “These are men making plans with Epstein, a pedophile, to go to Epstein's island where young girls are being raped and paraded naked at parties. There should be an investigation where they are asked under oath what they saw and who raped and abused these girls.”

    texxx, they were best friends until an alleged falling out over what trump said was esptein "stealing" a girl from him. or was it a real estate deal? or was it because epstein was being inappropriate with a club member? trump has given multiple different stories and different years. but its a FACT that they were very good friends who partied together. there is plenty of photo evidence. its also true that trump said "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side".

    based on how much youre posting in here to defend trump, this is clearly upsetting you greatly, but its a fact.

    mojoman, you can be as partisan as you want and pretend it was only democrats, but the facts and trumps own words show otherwise. and again, you have lied over and over again about the victims thinking trump is their "hero". they have been very vocal and critical regarding trumps inaction and slow-walking the release of the files.

    jorge, why was the FBI instructed to scrub trumps name from the epstein files? if he did nothing wrong then why would they do that?

    again conquistadork, you are totally blinded by your partisanship.

    BUENOS DIAS

    He is like a villain in a Shakespeare play.

    He is a morally bankrupt person in just about every way possible.

    Hits women? CHECK

    Threatens women and children to not testify? CHECK

    Steals from charities? CHECK

    Money laundering? CHECK

    Poor relationship with his children? CHECK

    Contempt of Congress? CHECK

    Friends with the world's most famous pedophile? CHECK




    Claims he is a "traditional Catholic", but his Priest asked him to stay away.

    Trump called him "One of his greatest pupils"......

    You can't make this **** up.

    I am not sure what the answer is on how to deal with this administration (if they even leave) after they are booted out. I know we cant go tit for tat every 4 years, but there needs to be some kind of trial/investigation. MAGA wants to use the "well, Biden did it" but tramp is doing it on a level we could not even comprehend, and I am 100% sure some of the basic "normal behavior" we have seen in the past is gone. I have a feeling the last thing tramp will do is pardon every single person in his administration and I am not sure how that looks legally, but this admin has to be held responsible. Our checks and balances need to be codified and we need to have guard rails for this maniac

    tramp has hired his loyalists to screw over the American People and grift 1.4 Billion in a year that we KNOW about, and you can bet your last dollar thats just the tip of the iceberg. I have a feeling tramp will pardon himself also...............the Pardons have to go, tramp keeps letting high $$ convicts loose once they pay their "fee" or help him in his quid pro quo

    dingleberryjorge knows all of this. But they're so deep in the cult and their head is so far up trumpy's ass that they'll never get the stink off. It will take years of intense psychotherapy and industrial showers. Problem is, they don't want it. They're happy living in this fantasy world and have long since been able to smell the s*** stank on them. This is not a good person you're trying to engage with. They're just as much of a s***bag as their dear leader...just doing it from his mom's attic.

    jorge/texxx/mojoman/conqueefstador is no dummy. he dines regularly with wealthy mexican industrialists for petes sake! he knows exactly what he is doing. its just blind limbaughian partisanship. you never admit your "side" is wrong. you always defend your "team" no matter what. you attack, attack, attack.

    thats all thats going on with him.
