    He wouldn’t need a distraction from the Epstein files if he just released the Epstein files.

    My money is attacking Mexico without a declaration of war. Brown people are down there, it justifies the ICE budget, and other bullshit.

        He ain’t gonna do that. Not cause he doesn’t want to - he’s already said he’s going to cause us “economic pain” so that we somehow give up our sovereignty and be forced to join his fascist clown country: It. Will. Never. Happen.

        That’s psychotic. I want Alaska to re-join Canada - can be our 11th province.

      A civil one, at this rate. He already hates the people in the country and there’s no one to go to war with since he became but-buddies with all the dictators and, despite everything, attacking Europe would probably trigger a civil war anyway.

    Ok Donald. If you get Putin to leave Ukraine on Zelensky’s terms, then maybe we can talk about something other than Epstein for 5 minutes. Maybe.

    However, if you fuck over Ukraine, and then try to claim a victory for authoritarianism as a victory for peace (which you almost assuredly will) we double down on Epstein so fucking fast even JD Vance will start to regret betraying you to Rupert Murdoch before the midterms.

    Everything is a distraction from the West giving up on liberty. It’s not only the US.

    tldr; new UK laws are extremly privacy invading requiering ID and face photos to acces any explicit material including sites like Wikipedia, similiar to some USA state laws and it looks like EU might just follow

      These aren’t distractions, they’re just doing multiple awful things around the same time. Sometimes the timing is, sure, but these are all very real things that they’re doing. Calling it a “distraction” makes it sound likenthey wouldn’t have been so evil if they weren’t afraid but they love this shit.

    I think Trump cares more about the Epstein files than his supporters do. He is actually the one making a big deall out of it.

    I just don’t get why.
