The Trump administration redacted all people connected to politics except Bill Clinton.

    The redactors' main objective must be to make Dear Leader feel good about himself

    That's been the co-main objective of the Republican Party. The other main objective is giving billionaires all the money.

    It'll work on their base and that's all that matters. Either that or they know they're going down, so they're taking one last pot shot while they do.

    Ignoring, of course, that nobody on the left cares about the Clintons so all this does is bring one pedophile of many to light. Though given that the Clintons and the Trumps were FRIENDLY TO EACH OTHER before Donald got into politics, I have to question even doing this. Because the fact that Clinton was there just lends more credence to the fact that Trump was too. And lends credence to the idea that 'bubba' wasn't a horse after all.

    Nothing shocks me anymore. Politics today makes me feel older than I am. I watched “Dead by Lightning” today on Netflix and I’ll be damned if I didn’t feel like we’re in that exact spot now. History is a cycle, after all. The volatility was doomed to come back. They just didn’t expect us to have social media and AI and at home robotics by now.

    History doesn't repeat itself, but it harmonizes, and what it usually makes is the Devil's music.

    Except bad, in this case, since "the Devil's music" tends to be the good stuff (ie. the rock and metal that weirdo theists had conniptions over in the 80s).

    The opportunity for this to happen has long since passed. There will be no going down, no trials, no jail sentences. This is America now.

    Marissa Alesi is a loser TikToker who supports everything about Trump and has already made videos that’s laughing at Democrats because Bill Clinton is in it and “see we told you Trump wasn’t in it” so yeah they believe it.

    It's just enough to point the media away from Donald to Bill.

    They did think it would make them look good. But more importantly it's to get people off them and somewhere else.

    Republicans in government represent wealthy men who feel entitled to use young women. Of course they will protect them. The ignorant MAGA base is only used for their vote to keep these Oligarchs in power.

    All this tells me is that Trump was in the files so often they had to blank out more people to make it ambiguous.

    Trump isn't in the Epstein files. He is the Epstein files.

    What if Epstein was just a bag holder and/or brothel manager for Trump’s modeling->pageantry->trafficking pipeline. This is pretty much what I’ve believed all along anyway.

    I’m holding out hope that this is a soft disclosure; that someone, somewhere, has the goods and will release them once this batch is properly digested.

    Faux News comments are right what you think they’d be. Lots of “oooo slick Willy” while completely disregarding the fucking obvious wool being pulled over their eyes.

    Also, man are they an illiterate bunch.

    All this does is prove to me how desperate Bondi is to cover up for Trump. This level of redaction tells me Trump is all over those files, Trump has sex with underaged trafficked girls, and Trump knows the files will prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

    Releasing photos of only Bill Clinton is such an obvious "but the Democrats!" strategy that it proves Trump's involvement also. P

    Could this be a glass half full/empty situation?

    Its only a presumption but I would have expected them to leave in any similar enemies or just anyone who Trump thinks will deflect from him yet it seems it is just Clinton and some oddballs.

    Bill can fuck them all up by naming names publicly.

    Bill Clinton will probably be dead soon because of this.
