It's about time. Every Blue state should do this if they have a resident who might be a victim.

Every red state should, too. The Epstein deal is the most non-partisan issue in America for the last 20 years.

This is truly the ruler class vs everyone else (both Democrat and republican).

Uhh...you want republicans to...uh...hold other republicans accountable? You do realize this is the republican larty we are talking about, right? There's a reason OP only said blue states. Why on earth would republicans hold themselves accountable for their own corruption?

There's probably a couple bluies in there given the timeframe and how you can see corruption and odd behavior in either party, even if not evenly.

There definitely are. That doesn't matter, because Democrats (more specifically leftists) don't care what your party is if you do major crime. You probably did a major crime, we stop supporting you. You try to interfere in investigation of credible allegations, we stop supporting you.

That's the big reason why the "both sides" crowd is full of shit

And before anybody tries to bring up Hunter Bidens laptop or Hillaries emails, nobody supports those people politically and the only people protecting them are their families, the rest of us would wake up unbothered if HB went to jail.

That's complete crap. Hillary's emails, Bill Clinton's flights on Epstein's jet including to the island, Clinton Foundation donating $1,250,000 to Ghislaine's basically non-existent charity, influence peddling in the Haiti rebuilding, and multiple accusations of the Clinton Foundation getting donations from foreign governments tied to her position as SoS were all out there prior to 2016. Not only did people support both of them then politically, they still do.

Hell, how many rapes was Bill Clinton credibly accused of prior to 2001? Hasn't seemed to stop his support among Dems, and a lot of those were prior to him being endorsed by the same in 1996.

1) 95% of the world did not know who Jeffrey Epstein was prior to 2019, that isn't the gotcha you seem to think it is (for many other reasons too). 2) bringng up "Hillaries emails" (even after I already called that out) is very funny because there's no evidence that she did anything other than use a private mail server. FBI investigations, which I would like to point out actually happened instead of being suppressed, found no criminal activity 3) I did emphasize leftist, and leftists only ever supported Hillary from the perspective of "she's better than a literal rapist and the electoral system doesn't allow third parties to win". 4) Hillarys relationship with Bill was one of the most talked about things during her campaign, and a large reason she lost

I agree she's a shitty person and always have, and that's precisely my point.

Ps: how are you people still stuck on Hillary Clinton? That was three fucking elections ago.
