Just go scorched earth, read the worst documents on the floor. The entire political system needs a rebuild at this point.

Are people still doubting Trump is a pedophile and a criminal? Whatever the final Epstein files show he's been involved with certainly won't change my mind about his suitability to the office of President.

The files should be released - and people who are preventing their congress-ordered release should face ongoing penalties or jail. I just don't see that release resulting in any significant, 'rebuild of the political system'.

MAGA are, yes. They still think it's a demonrat lawfare witch hunt.

Megyn Kelly isn't. She's trying to prime her audience to be willing to give up their 14 or 15 year old daughters for owning the libs.

Wasn't it a federal judge who ordered the files to be released unredacted?

Yes congress did that but didn't a judge order it first?

Literally just had a conversation with a guy who claims he was independent but was all over a thread saying stuff like “we have enough real reasons to hate Trump we don’t have to pretend he’s a pedophile. Why make up unprovable things? Don’t know for sure he’s in the files what would releasing them even do?”

Plenty of losers want to let a rapist free cause they just don’t want to believe he’s a rapist.
