    A significant chunk of American pop culture of the past decades is based on the premise that The Government is Hiding Something.

    Trump’s going to throw a big wrench in that by releasing fucking everything. Except a few things. A few great secrets.

    I swear American pop culture in the coming century or so is just going to be The Government is Hiding The Epstein Files, over and over and over.

    I mean his base is dumb enough to fall for this trick, so it will work perfect.

    I really hate how the dept of education has been destroyed over the decades and now over 70% of the country is dumb as bricks.

      As a Californian, it’s not just the DoE, especially on a scale of decades. My girlfriend went to public school in Texas and had shit like iPads and a lunch cafeteria with actual restaurants. I went to public school in California, mostly (entirely?) after it was gutted by the Governator, and had shit like textbooks shared across classes with swastikas and 8=D drawn all over the pages and a lunch cafeteria that served frozen pizzas microwaved in the plastic and frozen milk that still had ice-chunks in it.

    I remain incredulous.

      No, since his tweet about the death of Jesse Jackson it’s very obvious that he has a ghostwriter. It’s definitely not just you.

    there arent any aliens visiting earth. this is another fucking trump scam / distraction / bullshit opportunity. somehow he can make it ultimately about trashing the democrats, or just distracting people from his crimes and economic destruction.

    If they released the full, unredacted files they’d be distributing CSAM and victim names, though. Some redacting is necessary.

      I’d agree but they already did that. They seemed to have spent far more care and attention protecting the rapists than the rapees.

      While the victims need to be protected, that’s not what Trump and the DOJ did. Rather than out the perpetrators and protect the victims, they outed the victims and are protecting the perpetrators. All because the people protecting the perpetrators, the perpetrators, and the officials in charge of this are all the same people. So yeah they already crossed that bridge backwards without shoes.

        So the solution to that is to release all of the CSAM?

        Redaction needs to happen, but it needs to be done by an independent organization.

    This just cracks me up. Dude cannot stand any spotlight at ALL on Obama.

    His ego just can’t take it. Obama said something that makes the news? Rest assured Trump will top that!
