      I get it, but deploying military domestically with “full force” is absolutely not a fucking distraction. It’s the real deal.

        I have to keep saying this. The Epstein files are the fucking distraction. Dismantling the world’s most powerful nation is the real lede here, people.

          Agreed. No one needs to see any “files” to know that the pres and his buddies are child raping fascists. Even if we did see them, nothing would come from it. The Justice system protects these people. No one is saving us but ourselves - get out there and build your community cause a 100billion$ gestapo force is being built right now.

          It’s beyond time to give the Epstein victims full justice. The files are not a distraction. Saying so is just poor judgment.

            And with the full unredacted files, there’s a chance we’d see a true fracture of the MAGA movement. That would likely put a quick stop to most of the extra stupid shenanigans.

        I think it’s both. This kind of omniscandle is so hard to react appropriately to. We all get desensitised very quickly. Imo, he’s testing the water and seeing what he can get away with, increasing it in increments. I think they’re testing to see which units are loyal. Even if it doesn’t work out, it’s a great use of “dead cat strategy.”

      I always agree with posting this, however this time, it’s somehow worse. This is Trump declaring war on US citizens.
