BTW for maga, it was never about pedophiles. It was about hating fellow Americans and the pedophile charge was a convenient way to put a moral mask on that. The second Trump failed to release the files, because he’s in them, they defended him. Mask is off

The MAGA crew voted for Trump knowing he was probably a pedophile. He bragged about walking in on teenagers in various stages of undress at Miss Teen USA. His comments about his own daughter grossed out Howard Stern, who is not exactly known for prudish and delicate sensibilities.

Which really tells me these people don't really believe in anything. No principles. No morals. Not Christian Nationalists, but Agnostic Isolationists and Racists. Just resentment (misplaced) and anger (justified but also misplaced) and fear (unwarranted).

Why are we even surprised anymore? It’s hate. The freedom to hate, loudly, publicly, violently. THAT is what MAGA (and the GOP) stand for. What a degenerate legacy.

Trump is up to his underwear in those files. It’s the ONLY thing that will take him down. He is terrified that the truth will come out. It has to be much worse than anyone can imagine. Everything else is a distraction.

If mocking a disabled reporter; putting down a gold star family; downplaying “grab ‘em by the pussy”; demonizing anyone who doesn’t agree with him wasn’t enough, why would pedophilia bother them?

It's the same logic used by violent criminals in the Pen when choosing those same targets. Nobody would dare defend them, and one can be sadistic while also seeking accolades as a defender of the defenseless. The Trump years will generate numerous theses for psychiatrists and sociologists.

I think that’s all true. I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised. Considering the way they consider women to be second class citizens who barely deserve to have a voice, sex abuse is not that big a jump.

Let's stop the madness and cruelty! Mothers and babies are dying in Somalia because we shut off USAID! But get this! American tax payers are the storage fees (to the tune of thousands a month) for warehouses that have food and medicines with no means to deliver Cruelty!

For MAGA, It was always, in part, about pedophiles. Trump and his ilk say or just imply that their enemies are pedophiles and watch their mob get to work. That mob is starting to look at its masters. And trump will do anything to distract them.

Maybe it is a mask of fake outrage, but maybe it's not. Being up here, in a northern purple-ish state, I know too many MAGA folks that hate people who prey on kids and would have no problem capping one if given the chance. They defend Trump because they believe they're disgraced wealthy peeps, too.

Is MAGA ok with federal agents randomly busting down doors in the middle of the night and zip tying American children and their parents and dragging them off. Cause that’s happening.

MAGA is blind. Leftists knew that when Maga started because MAGA has always been a hate cult. Without the leader there is no cult. Just watched a documentary on Synanon. Today's MAGA is no different. Without their leader, they might just die off. Fingers crossed, a Big Mac does the job. A new hope.

Not fully true. MAGA luminaries are splitting over this, and the seams on the blivet of BS seem to be fraying. Trump and his media strategists are masters of fooling us, but their Republican forebear will eventually be proven true about not fooling all the people, all the time.

UberChristians need to punish very hard any people who commit the same sins that they personally commit. e.g. "I will get into heaven even though I'm a pedo if I punish other pedos" and it is never, ever, "If I change my ways".

I don't see what the problem is. If the files show Trump was with a bunch of underage girls he can just get the Supreme Court to get him off. Kavanaugh and Thomas don't care if pedophiles go free. Their bible doesn't have an age limit.

They hv genuinely believed &oh- it's true! Heard it from the good TX Baptists! -the whole pedophile thing was 'baby blood drinking Dems.' ("Leon Panetta-you know him right? You KNOW what he did?") Their god is being threatened. If it's not only Dems, they're not interested.

Are you talking about the politicians? Because 80% of MAGA voters want the files released. The politicians don’t know what they want, except whatever gives them power. They don’t actually have morals or values. They only value power.

But it’s only partly morality. What they really don’t want is people to realize how badly the plutocratic billionaire corporate class is screwing them over, and have been for many years. That’s what they are constantly trying to hide.

Its the same with everything for them. 24 hour coverage of Bidens inflation, meanwhile no one is covering the worse inflation under Trump. Until voters realize the right wing media and many left wing media outlets are empty husks looking for ratings, we wont get beyond this mess.

So many fewer people are watching pundits at the biggest networks -- even among Baby Boomers. We've tuned out and tuned in to Medias and Bulwark and the comedians on late night TV. The problem is that the large corporate media echo chamber keeps their BS going & going, fed by the troll factory.

"Both sides" bs. All Rs but 2 voted to table the amendment, that'd have forced the DOJ to release all Epstein files, meaning it would not be debated or voted on. Now with A. Grijalva win, and when her 218th signature would force a floor vote on EF release, MAGA M.Johnson is not swearing her in.

as a victim of a youth coach, i never thought about his politics. my comment wasn’t about the vote on the epstein files, my comment was about the fact there a people FROM both sides on that list. and that have committed s3x crimes against children.

and I believe they all, regardless of their political affiliation, should face the full force of the law. guess you disagree with that and want to pick and choose who should be held accountable. OK that’s your thought, I guess.

At this point we KNOW he’s in the Epstein files. We KNOW. Just make it so the bazillion Epstein sycophants release ALL of their wealth to the victims and then let’s get to the business of ensuring our country doesn’t dissolve into a puddle of authoritarianism

Yep. It's straight from the fascist playbook. Make people fearful of immigrants & label them as pedophiles & rapists. Have GOP run on being heroes & saving citizens while promoting racism & xenophobia. Don't believe me? Read Jason Stanley's "How Fascism Works". DJT is in #EpsteinFiles

Amen, I have family that I love dearly that is MAGA, I believe it’s a justification for their hate. I’m routinely shocked at the lack of empathy they show while still wearing the Christian faith proudly. I just don’t get the appeal of a morally corrupt narcissist.

its very interesting that the maga's calling everybody else pedos while daily we get news that this or that maga perv has been arrested and charged/tried/convicted of that exact thing...no morals....and you are correct Adam....only a m Mask of morality!

To the citizens of the United States of America from His Sovereign Majesty King Charles III In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of independence.😉😜

I’m convinced that the only reason the Epstein story gets traction with some conservatives is that same reason that they hate trans people and are homophobes: Preying on children triggers the disgust reflex. They don’t actually care about the victims at all. Proof? Every other GOP policy.

The number of Democrats and recalcitrant Republicans being threatened with jail - as far back as Obama- has grown exponetially. The US is now looking like Stalinist Russia. Doesn't happen in ANY other Democracy. .

This is no joke, but I’m guessing a lot of MAGA justify it by saying “pedophiles go after 5 year olds. Guys that go after 13 year olds, that’s different”. Look at the historically low age of consent in conservative states.

Yes, Q Anon has basically gone quiet in protesting MAGA leaders now. The entire thing is a joke. All because these uneducated white christian Nationalists were taught by their Momma and Daddy that Satan came to America in the 1960s. Women and Minorities gained rights, and hell was upon us.

Even if they are mask off protecting criminals, most Americans really do agree that releasing all of the files is entirely necessary. It is one of the few issues 80 percent or more Americans agree upon and can be used to create some unity in a divided nation. We need more unity. Release the files.
