    So… can someone please explain to me what people hope will happen here? We have known the names of people partying with Epstein for years now. We know that Trump was a pedo just like Epstain, that he was surrounding himself with young girls, bragging about assaulting women. He was convicted of rape in civil court! We know that Melania was Epstein’s girlfriend before he handed her to Trump.

    Despite this the only thing that happened is that Andrew lost his royal title. No charges, no real punishment. No one else faced any consequences. We know that the deal with Epstein prevents DOJ from charging anyone else in this case. For fuck sake, we knew all this before the elections and Trump still won!

    So… once all the papers are out and once we discover who parties with Epstein AGAIN, what do people think will happen?

      The hope that enough people are aghast at what happened and stop supporting him leading to shithead Republicans doing their job (only for the purpose of saving their own cowardly hides) and dumping him. This doesn’t assume it is standalone- combine rampant pedophilia with a terrible economy. Whatever it takes for the awful, awful people who prop up the Republican party to finally say enough.

      Whether that happens…
