I feel like this is too much of a pattern to be a coincidence. Dump a huge amount of files, there's a few juicy things in there, people crawl all over them. The administration does a poor job covering them, etc. Then we do the same thing a month later. Why not release all of them at once in a flood that takes forever to sift through? Or why not just refuse to release them at all? Why keep doing these little splurges?

I'm amazed that I haven't seen any "Don't attack Russia in Winter" type jokes about Minnesota

I hadn't heard about the puppies, tent stake, or child being shot part. That's horrifying.

Is this the Sascha Riley stuff?

I'm putting my hopes on the sanity one.

But my twist flavor is that they lose the midterms, then release a modified set of the Epstein files that places all of the blame on Trump.

The Republicans "finally had enough" and go along with impeachment, getting rid of Trump as he's become a liability.

They put in Vance. They campaign on having been true Maga believers but being unable to stand what Trump did. They rake in the "we're the real children protectors" propaganda and campaign on that.

Then they lay low and come back in like nothing happened, thankful that Trump could scapegoat them from the Epstein Files, they're free and clear for the restbof their lives.

Trump serves a "sentence" on House arrest at Mar a Lago in luxury, never knowing a day's hardship, and dies peacefully in his sleep.

I believe they're setting this up so they can send Epsteiners to Venezuela to take high level government positions and "help run it" and give them a convenient way to leave the country and be beyond prosecution while maintaining a luxury lifestyle.

Final Fantasy 12

I got to a point in the game where I was literally saying to myself "Oh, okay this is the mid game point, and after this things open up a bit and we maybe get a twist, kinda like FFX when it's time to rescue Yuna from Bevelle, that's where we are here."

Went in, fought a boss, roll credits.

I was almost actually slack jawed in amazement that the game was actually over.

Can confirm, this one is really good.

The next spin is to try and just deny that the Epstein Files says anything bad at all.

Yesterday on Tiktok I came across no less than three videos with the same audio, of laughter, along with the exact same, word for word copy paste of something like "The Democrats' faces when it's revealed that the Epstein Files totally exonerate Trump and a majority of the Democrats are guilty. Watch them walk it all back."

And people believe it

Most Politicians*

A majority of U.S. Citizens support socialized healthcare or some kind of public option as far as I know.

Oh, word? I never knew about that

Definitely not surprised. Just amused that the first of hopefully many reveals

Is this
