The bolded portion displays a truly staggering level of ignorance and idiocy.Bolded ia a bad supposition, since you know nothing of their feelings, emotions, or carings.
Nearly a thousand mentions of "pizza", often paired with "grape soda", in this latest dump--clearly not really pizza and grape soda being referred to, but we can only guess what such are code for. And (the Trump regime largely being) a cabal of Evangelical pedophiles and human traffickers. We always knew that Pizzagate and Q were projection, but the degree... and the literalness and direct correspondences? Frankly, much more than I had ever anticipated and yet we've still only seen a portion, and with a whole lot redacted (excepting identities of victims, unfortunately).One of the morbid jokes going around is whether to simply presume the second Trump presidency is the Epstein Offenders Administration.
Again, where are the follow-up investigations into these claims? Todd Blanche says the review of the Epstein documents is "over" and there will be no subsequent releases. Not hardly.Some OCRed sections...
This latest release seems to be a dead cat strategy, to draw attention away from the murderous ICEmen.
?? By the Trump-controlled DOJ? Is that a serious question?Again, where are the follow-up investigations into these claims?
It says something that I am currently reading a book by a priest (Walter Ciszek) spending years in a Siberian work camp as something to take my mind off current developments with the PedoOTUS and his buddy Jeff.A witness swore under penalty of perjury that Donald Trump threatened a young girl, telling her she could “disappear like another 12-year-old female,” and then threatened to kill her entire family, according to Epstein-related court records.
This allegation appears in Dataset 9 of Epstein File EFTA01250883.pdf.
No matter how hard capitalism tries to shed its dark history of slavery and owning people generally, you can still purchase (a) people, and (b) the law looking the other way. And (c), silence. My hope for the future is that it's getting harder to buy top quality (c).Yet plenty of material which ought to be present, like follow-up investigations into allegations, for instance, is conspicuously absent.
There might be value in starting litigation to keep applying pressure, but one has to imagine that neither Trump, nor the GOP, will be in power in 2028 (fingers crossed!). As such, the max delay that the current administration can achieve might only be a further 3 years. That's assuming a Dem President will have a compliant DoJ and FBI on the matter of releasing the details. The only options to ensure continued non-releases/non-disclosure might then be to either guarantee that the GOP are never out of power (election rigging or cancellation, for example), or destroying the documents. The latter would only be possible if the files are not already too decentralised, and let's not consider the former, as the Epstein files would be the least of the concerns.That involves the sort of litigation that can take years, delays fueled by the victims rights issue. Pretending they care about victims provides them with excellent cover. And the administration overall "flood the zone" strategy keeps the courts clogged.
Some of the investigations would have been during Biden's term, no??? By the Trump-controlled DOJ? Is that a serious question?

Polls dating back a decades have shown that the overwhelming majority of Trump voters were not only aware of the multiple allegations against him--including his own admissions, of course, knowingly and unknowingly (hot mic)--but that most also believed that at least some of them were true.https://www.aol.com/articles/tried-smear-donald-trump-claims-193000464.html
“Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,” the DOJ wrote. “To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”

[...] Also, just further evidence that "they"--they being, well, pretty much everyone within the federal government; I mean, Biden and Garland sure weren't doing shit, nor were their predecessors--couldn't care less about the victims here.[...]
Not investigating because of the accused social standing is a total dereliction of duty.Yah, but it's a general lack of interest over the decades with respect to horror items appearing in civil cases or court filings for litigation (not unique favoritism for Epstein and his circle of colleagues through multiple administrations). Though when it comes to direct reporting of crimes to police, many magnates and celebrities doubtless are privileged with respect to authorities ignoring various asserted incidents. An excuse for that might be that socialites regularly receive a high volume of complaints and accusations made by opportunistic individuals and disgruntled groupies. But still, in the mix there probably are valid accounts that should have been pursued. Leaving the neglected victims with only the civil route to take.

While I appreciate the nod to the original aphorism, is it really the case? Culture wars don't destroy the truth, just the audience for it. I mean, the truth is the truth, surely (unless it's a purely subjective matter). Culture wars can be selective with them, reframe them, but they don't really destroy them. What is destroyed first, I think, is the will of the audience to care about whether something is true or not. Such apathy doesn't make a casualty of truth, it, at best, makes it "missing in action". Probably something that Chuck Norris would repeatedly go looking for in a movie franchise of increasing ridiculousness.In culture wars, the first casualty is always the truth.
