remember: the files both don't exist, and at the same time, are irrelevant.

Spoiler he did

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You sound like a StuPid DEMONRAT for Wanting to Know if the President RAPED CHILDREN!

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You already know he did, and you're just asking him nicely to admit it.

It's time to revolt, but that requires recognizing that he's not the only one on the list "list", and that Democrats are also on the list.

It's very stupid to keep asking them nicely to release the evidence of their own crimes, on both sides. It's time to revolt.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

If anything, and there's a million reasons before now this should have happened, but there needs to be a "million woman march" on capital hill.

Americans need to start fucking standing up. Stop talking about it and fucking so it.

For the reasons

  • Your president rapes women
  • Your president rapes children
  • Your country doesn't protect you when you go on maternity leave
  • Your country doesn't give you any substantial maternity leave
  • Your country took away your right to choose
  • Your country is working on taking away your right to vote

Do I really need to fucking go on? Wake the fuck up America!

You already know he did

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Schrodinger's Pedo. he could have committed the crimes, he could be innocent.

neither outcome is going to threaten his power. thats the problem, the Files could come out tonight, doctored, or legit, and regardless of what happens, he'll still be the President tommorow, and GOP Congress will never impeach him.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're crazy, but not because you want to know this stuff. Anyone in their right mind should want to know (and a few of us crazies want to know too).

Sadly, we know things like this have already proven to be true.

Donald Trump is a rapist.

Getting more information on it, would only serve to prove how much he's committed these acts. Nothing more.

At this point, I'm not sure if he's not guilty of anything, really. Every time I turn around there seems to be evidence, a conviction, or at least a strong probability that the cheeto has broken some law. I think it would be better just to make a bingo card from the laws we don't know that he's broken, so when it comes to light that he did, indeed break those laws, we can have a little fun yelling "bingo!" As our cards fill up.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd be a little surprised if he's personally committed any murders; I'd be shocked if he hasn't ordered any committed

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Donald Trump is a high functioning psychopath. People like him drive others to suicide and order lesser idiots to do the killing for him, and usually in an indirect manner to avoid any direct culpability.

So is he responsible for some classic old fashion murder? Yes, but did he actually kill anyone with his own hands? I doubt it.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Bingo. I doubt he's personally pulled the trigger because I doubt he wants to get his hands dirty; he has people for that

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

call me crazy, but i thought we already knew he did? I mean multiple victims are on the record saying he did. We just happen to be ignoring it.

what I really want to know is why we as a country are 1. still paying taxes to a government that doesn't represent us; 2. not collectively rioting and burning shit to the ground.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

You're crazy! (You asked)

The other things you said are, to my knowledge, correct.

[–] Bunbury@feddit.nl 19 points 1 day ago

Of course he did. The ones he’s been found guilty of at least. But with how much he doesn’t want the files out there’s definitely some extra ones in there.

[–] bigbabybilly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

You talkin’ about ol’ President Pedorapist? I can’t say for certain. Oh wait. Yes I can.

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 182 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I mean at this point it's trying to figure out just how many depraved sex crimes he committed

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

34 (Felonies) is the number to beat

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Your right! People must be living in another planet to, at this point, still on the "if"

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 day ago

Every day is another wonderful secret...

[–] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Spoiler Alert: He did, Trump is a rapist pedo.

We all know he committed depraved sex crimes. We've heard the victims. I'd just like the third party evidence released because we humans would rather believe a little black book than a living, breathing person who was a child when he raped her.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 16 hours ago

Testimony isn't infallible. Quite a bit of science & the Innocence Project to back that up.

[–] limer@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Serial rapists like him can easily have over a thousand victims since he hit puberty. That works out to slightly more than one new victim a month.

He is in the process of harming and killing so many orders of magnitude more people by both his direct and indirect actions.

He is a rapist - probably still hurting people that way now; a thug and a murderer.

People are concerned about his previous victims; and many more Americans are going to die or be hurt from him in the next three years. Including perhaps some reading this.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Well fucking said.

I agree that they should release the files. However, not everything is a distraction from that like people on this site seem to believe.

In many cases, the exact opposite is true.

[–] OpenPassageways@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

I'm not sure it even matters because anyone who isn't his supporter already knows and anyone who IS probably believes in alternative facts instead.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 92 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don’t care if it might be more tactically savvy for Democrats to talk about other issues.

I mean its not. Its the redmeat his base has wanted for decades and its got him throwing bags of shit out a window. Just keep pushing and don't stop.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

What "the base" wants is blood in the water. We missed that opportunity as soon as Biden handed the keys to the DOJ over, back in January.

If Trump really does show up with "The List" (which isn't really a list, but a compilation of various other documents that people keep pretending is a big binder called "Names of People Who Fucked Kids" that we're going to get a copy of) and his name is emblazoned across it a thousand times... what happens next? Does Thomas Massie not vote on the next "Gut The EPA Act of 2025"? Will Trump's next court nominee fail confirmation? Do we recall our Navy from the coast of Venezuela? Is the genocide in Gaza going to end? Is it finally Mueller Time?

I've seen "Release the Epstein List!" in a thousand fundraising emails. I've heard it in speeches. I've got spam texts about it from Roganites and Third Way and Communist Party USA.

Nobody seems to be doing anything else but this. Nothing appears to be improving.

Just keep pushing and don’t stop.

Pushing what? Don't stop what?

Are you writing your Congresscritters about this on the reg? Are you in contact with your state's District Attorney? Did you show up at the Epstein Victims Rally, after shoving your way through all the National Guard and ICE goons patrolling DC?

Or do you just mean "Don't stop posting"?

Release the Trump/Epstein files

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 52 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Raping E. Jean Carroll not depraved enough for them? How low is the bar here?

[–] JustARegularNerd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Quite low, as it turns out. Linked at the end of this article was this depressing read of Trump supporters saying "Get over it."

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Every day I'm shocked more victims don't cut off dicks. Imagine where we'd be if one of his first victims castrated his ass.

[–] funkajunk@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Castration is cutting off the balls, cutting off the dick is a penectomy.

Hi Crazy, I want to know too.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes, He did!? 🙄

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We know he did. I want to know all of them. And then I want to see the Americans do absolutely nothing about it because that will just be the starkest on its face proof of the reality of that lazy ass do nothing culture. It will shatter all of that countries veil of moral superiority over the rest of the world.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It will shatter nothing. More kids have been shot in schools than ever visited the island, and thoughts and prayers is the only answer. If literally dead kids don't prove anything, neither will a list of names. It will be called a hoax, a witch hunt, and quickly forgotten.

We've answered this question. The answer is yes. The follow on question "does America care", appears to be a resounding "nope".

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Care" is a spectrum. Taken as an aggregate, I'd say America is somewhere above, "frowny face" and somewhere below "getting shot to death by the National Guard while vainly storming the White House."

I'd like to know whether he's stopped.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

He did. We know this. Proven in court.

How varied those crimes were, remains to be fully proven.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

We do know, because he did
