I'm tired of the "It's a distraction from the Epstein Files" line. No, Trump's a man who abuses others continuing to do so. (hexbear.net)

Someone is abusing people en masse to... distract from their prior abuse of people? No, he's just continuing to be the same horrible person, supported by other horrible people, as he was before.

The fanfare around the Epstein Files at the exclusion of all else ("This is a distraction from the Epstein files!") is the zombified corpse of the Mueller Investigation fanfare walking again. They want us to believe that, instead of the masses making history, somehow suits in Washington (many of the same ones who help keep the lights on for ICE) releasing more details of Trump's past abuses will put an end to his regime's abuses. They want us to believe this even when during the Biden years they dragged their feet on prosecuting him and didn't throw him in a cell, plus giving many of his Jan. 6th rioters exceptionally nice treatment in federal prison if they did get locked up.

Thank you so much for saying this. There doesn't have to be some kind of conspiracy. Trump is a bad man who hurts people and he is doing what he's always done: bad things that hurt people.

Then "This is a distraction from the Epstein Files" feels SO 2018 Rachael Maddow. Like, yes, we know he's a pedo. He is also other things, some of which might actually be worse. But no, it literally doesn't matter.

Here's this guy who is actively stripping people of their rights and bringing full-on American Flavored Fascist Authoritarianism™ and somehow people are still looking for the smoking gun?

The thing is... there might still be a conspiracy, but the conspiracy is to further the police state repression of the masses, not to just cover up for one old rich guy.

House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries told his colleagues he wouldn't whip votes to stop the Department of Homeland Security funding bill.
