I am shocked.

I bet dey are

Well yeah, it was never going to be good what with Trump's forcing his name to be redacted over 1000x times.

If these hit while he's alive I can't wait to see how many conservatives go "well actually child predation is bad-ass!" vs the ones that'll just try to ignore it.

Some have actually already started saying that.

Please release the Epstein files while Trump is still relatively early in his presidency. The chaos would be glorious.

Not that I want chaos for Americans. But I want chaos for Trump and his party as it pertains to his position as president.

Dude, that's becoming a regular GOP stance now.

And they're still not swearing in Grijalva

even worse for Trump than we thought

Considering how I fully believe the scum's left more than one tiny body connected to cover-ups?

That would be an alarming outcome.

Nothing is going to happen. Hes immune to consequences and the law.

Crazy that a failed businessman reality TV show host conned his way to the presidency then stirred up a bunch of controversy and incited a resurrection then ran a successful second campaign for president just to avoid legal culpability for his bullshit corruption and nepotism and political violence from the first term and now he's running an even more corrupt administration and had the whole government shut down just because he had close business affairs with a known human trafficker and child exploiter. And like tons of people are ok with that.

Honestly, this might be the one thing that could fracture the MAGA base.

Or at the very least cause enough chaos to fuck up Republicans come midterms.

Nothing will make the MAGA base turn on Trump. Literally nothing.

If the Epstein files actually do come out, theyll just say its fake.

I don't think it's possible for me to think any lower of Trump, or for their to be any crime or sin I'd put below Trump.

he could walk out on live TV brag about it show footage of him doing it

and he still would not loose support

Likely mandatory too.

i dont understand how people havent come to terms with this yet

I don't think any substantial number would change sides because of this. But it could create a Roy Moore style situation wherever many Republicans stay home and give us a chance to make the gerrymandering backfire and to actually have the majority necessary to fix and strengthen our democracy

Whole lot of conservatives talking about how people used to have wives in their early teens a long time ago.

I could see this

I mean I already think he's a child rapist so how much worse can it get?

At this point, I'm starting to believe he actually ran the operation.

I wish I had the same level of confidence as you do, but nothing I've seen leads me to believe it would.

here's the thing, they've weaponized christian belief to support their bullshit. the number of times i've heard "hate the sin, not the sinner" in relation to trump is maddening. and often times these same people follow up with racist hateful bullshit.

Nah. We'd know if he ran it, because it wouldn't have been successful.

Hasn't what's been revealed basically gone "Trump isn't just a participant, but was active in helping traffic these kids" - heck Trump in interviews has literally said that Epstein used to specifically take his younger "employees".

How does it get worse than "he's actively helping and supporting the most notable sex trafficking ring of modern society?"

The hope would just be that the center and the squishy swing voters deserts him and his party

the center are just the right who want to pretend they still have morals but dont actually have morals

and swing voters cant remember when they last took a breath

Michael Wolff, a longtime chronicler of Trumps White House who conducted extensive interviews with Epstein prior to his death, told The Daily Beast last month that Epstein had shown him photos of Trump with half-naked young girls in his lap.

The syntax is a little ambiguous, but there's probably no universe in which this is good for trump

There are Democratic partisans, Republican partisans and people who switch per election for whatever reason and we need to stop acting like votes are immutable. Longtime Democratic voters have gone for Trump for a variety of reasons, mostly economic.

I don't think it's insane to say "he raped children" is going to be a line for a lot of them

its insane to think trump cultists would actually care
if they were given video evidence of it they would just tell you the children should be grateful

why would it be? they ignored the "grab em by the pussy" line. they ignored the "drink fishtank cleaner to fix covid" line. they ignored the previous terms attempts to crash the economy with tariffs. and they ignored the whole jan 6th insurrection event. its obvious that they dont care about anything but tax breaks for the ultra wealthy, which trump has accomplished with flying colors.

Considering how fucking bad I thought this was going to be already for Trump, I really shouldn't be surprised that it'll still be somehow worse.

I'm not talking about Trump cultists with this.

Reminder that the shutdown is literally because they don't want to swear her in because they just need one vote to release a bunch of epstein files.

Also keeping the house closed down means it can't be releasing epstein files constantly like they were a couple months ago.

the man openly admitted it.

We just had a clean Democratic sweep last night and Trump won't be on the fucking ballot again, can you please stop with this despair stuff? You REALLY think that this won't cost the GOP a single vote?

Crazy that the DoJ themselves are just saying flat out "hoo boy, it's bad". That would be enough to sink any normal president, rightfully so.

underestimating trump has never been a good idea

if he is still alive he will be on the ballot in 2028

stop ignoring the serious societal rot that is growing
