Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
 
  • A joint DOJ–FBI memo reaffirmed that no “client list” of high-profile individuals existed and found no evidence Epstein blackmailed anyone.
  • MAGA hardliners (e.g., Alex Jones) and some Trump allies lash out at AG Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, demanding disclosures.
  • President Trump urged supporters to stop attacking his team over “Epstein Files,” calling Epstein “somebody nobody cares about” and insisting his administration is “PERFECT.”
  • Internal friction reportedly flared between Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino (who threatened to quit) and Bondi, though Trump insists DOJ/FBI are united.
  • Trump wants the FBI to refocus on his unproven 2020 election–fraud claims rather than “the same old…documents on Jeffrey Epstein.”

Crying like a little bitch about it on social media makes me believe the exact opposite of what he says. He was probably customer 0.

He's screwed. He and others in his administration made it an integral part of his platform. Whether it exists or not, his supporters, who have been trained to believe in a deep state conspiracy to cover up child abuse, cannot be convinced that it doesn't exist, and the more he denies it the more suspicious he looks. Either releasing the evidence would end him, or through multiple layers of convenient, unbelievable incompetence the promised evidence really doesn't exist. Really? Only one camera that can only see a sliver of a stairway was working and even that has a time gap, and the guards just happened to be slacking off on the night in question? It'd be hard to believe even if the Trump administration hadn't made such a big deal about it and there wasn't that photo going around of Trump and Epstein together.

This goes way beyond him. Don't ever forget he's a geriatric senile fucking puppet. He doesn't call the shots. "They" do.

When they yell and scream and froth at the mouth about the "deep state"- that's how you know they are the deep state.

And that state is not the United States, but a foreign entity. A foreign state, in fact.

Thing is, almost everyone implicated here is well over the age of 70 today. If the deep state ever really existed, they did a horrible job of passing on the baton, and now they’re all dying, one by one.
