That’s the funny part. If they released the papers, why would it end any different than the Panama papers? No one is going to prosecute them (well, maybe some people overseas might face consequences) so they could’ve just laundered them by flooding the zone in misinfo
But now? Part of Trump’s core base are true believers and really care about this. They’re conspiracy theorists, and the admin just wiggled an obvious juicy conspiracy in their faces before covering it up cartoonishly
Fun (depressing) fact, the only rich asshole to go to jail over the Panama Papers is the guy who contracted to have that journalist car bombed.
If he had done nothing, his corruption and bribery might have blown over, but he decided to murder his problems away. And while police could give two shits about financial crime, they do care about murder.
Okay, well Trump almost certainly raped kids. Bill Clinton too. We have a lot of evidence suggesting that. Many members of Congress in fact - MTG said the quiet part out loud and openly threatened them about it (a few months back when that one guy paid underage prostitutes on Venmo)
But it doesn’t seem to matter, does it? Why isn’t there a mob outside MTG’s house demanding she explains why she’s protecting child rapists?
We all know already. Why would another scrap of evidence matter? Why aren’t we demanding investigations of all of them?
People aren’t ok with the tax evasion either, it just doesn’t matter if no one prosecutes them
The outcry exists but it will fade. And soon too. These people WANT to follow their cult leader. It will just take some time as this outrage is mostly emotional and not really people caring about childrens welfare (they might believe it though).
To be honest it feels like they misshandled this on purpose as to deflect from the Brutal Bafoonery Bill that was even making the news internationally.
Nah… Not this time. I mean, time will tell, but this is going to have consequences… Look how long people have hung onto JFK and MLK, this isn’t going away. The Dale Gribbles of the world are losing their minds over this
Democrats hate their voters, Republicans fear their voters. Because progressives don’t pop off and shoot people
There’s two factions in the white house right now giving ultimatums… Patel hasn’t been showing up for work, apparently either Bondi goes or he does, along with others in the cabinet. Taco Belle’s voice was shaking the entire press conference, Trump loses his charisma and babbles every time it comes up…
They’re terrified. They’re caught between powerful people and their base, and all they can do to get out of this is to convince conspiracy theorists that there’s no conspiracy
I mean i surely do not know enough about american politics to argue against your points. It just seems there are no consequences for even the most despicable people you have, as long as they are powerful enough. Now while Epstein might seem like a good argument i would say he is only dead because he was a danger for more powerful people.

Thing is, a lot of people think tax fraud is perfectly fine. Not quite so many people think raping kids is okay.

Interesting times to be alive.
