      I would say that trump covering up the extent of his friendship with the known sex trafficker and paedophile Epstein is on a slightly different level that Hillary using a private email server for government communication, neither is good but one involves sexual abuse of children which I personally consider a bad thing, don’t know about you

      Also it’s not like she posted confidential information to a group chat and invited people without clearance to said group chat, twice

        Apart from the Pentagon planning military strikes on Yemen on the Signal app, didn’t Trump take top secret government files to his personal home in Mar a Largo? I believe that was 40 felony counts.

        Is it worse than using the US military to target political opponents and deport them to Guatemala?

        Libs are pretending as if yelling about this will stop the stormtroopers in their tracks as they drag you out of your car in front of your family. Republicans do not give a shit about this - in fact, trump has already been found liable for rape and guilty of bribing a porn star to keep quiet about his affair with her. This is closer to a point of pride for them than something that they’d drop support over.

        Its about as cringe as Schumer quoting Kendrick Lamar in a tweet.

      Err, the Epstein list hullaballoo came from the republicans. They wanted them released. They campaigned on the promise of releasing them.

        Look, im not saying it isn’t a little funny, but fascists dont need narrative consistency. Yea, mocking them about it isn’t a bad idea, but dont be fooled into thinking this is some serious line of attack for them. They are desperate to be taken seriously, but dont have any qualms about shifting the goalposts to protect their in-group

      Still sounds like you are supporting it. Two things can be wrong at the same time. It’s not a competition of fuckery.

        Not at all, I just dont think Republicans give a shit.

        At least, not enough to effect their voting habits. Trump being a sex criminal isn’t a deterrent for them, but him looking weak is
