Good grief, you're the first person I've come across that has said that. Do you think the American people are wrong to want to know who else was involved with Epstein and what those people knew and did? It's possible that Epstein was blackmailing people and providing information to foreign countries. There is a great deal more to this criminality than "satisfying men's fantasies" by trafficking and abusing children.

Possible, but if that was the case, why has he spent so long trying to cover-up and now to delete so much material?

My feeling, (no evidence whatsoever) is that Trump was a friend of Epstein, two deeply unpleasant men together, until he realised what Epstein was doing, which was setting up a 'party house' specifically for blackmail purposes. Why else the thousands of apparently innocuous photographs; cameras in every room?

It takes one to know one, and Trump was sharp and quick enough to extract himself, probably because he didn't need Epstein's money or the services provided.

Eh? How many people’s ’personal lives’ involve sex with trafficked women and girls? There is a lot of clear blue sky between being ‘pure and decent’ and that.

I keep being shocked by how corrupt they are and get away with it.

They have, so far, redacted the majority of the files, 16 files originally posted have disappeared and now they have been caught adding photos to the files that allegedly had nothing to do with the trafficking.

Someone will blow this open someday. But there are still too many powerful people covering this all up right now.

The good news is that the Republicans in the House are starting to revolt, and bi-partisan Files of Impeachment are being considered against Hegseth, RFKjr and Bondi.

January is going to get pretty wild in my opinion. We are looking at another Government shut down and Johnson shut down the House to avoid a vote on health care subsidies, which means millions of people just lost all health care. First premiums will happen about the same time the shut down does.

Another day in paradise. angry

August 1974 and the historic resignation of President Richard Nixon who, after repeatedly denying involvement in the Watergate Building burglary, was caught out by his own tapes recording incriminating discussions.

At least he was still honourable enough to resign.

But Trump will have to be dragged out of the White House screaming and kicking and cursing because there isn't an atom of honour in the morally bankrupt reptile.
