    If this shit is releasable like that, then why didn’t Biden do it? Fuck trump, maga, conservatives, etc. but why is it such an L that Trump predictably tries to make it go away but it’s fine that when the Ds had the WH they didn’t do shit?

    Each side is just playing this performative ‘release the list!!!’ when they aren’t in power. Disgusting no matter who is hiding this shit.

      both parties are severely compromised.

      that’s why.

      rich and powerful are all the same scum. just one is openly racist, and the other one is more closeted racist.

        You consider the Democratic party to be racist? How so? I mean, you said they’re in the closet about it, but still, I just don’t see it. They’re corrupt as fuck, yeah, but racist?

          I can say I’ve not seen a single political party try to do anything about the systemic racism and race oppression in this nation, in my life time. 8 years with a black president doesn’t mean anything when the national standard is still to oppress minorities. So no, they aren’t out here calling people slurs, but they certainly aren’t doing anything to improve it and that makes them guilty enough.

            I heard this once:

            Republicans want 100 rich people to control the county

            Democrats want the same but some of those to be women and people of color

          remember when they were all in favour of BLM and defund the police but all they didnwas raise police budgets?

          or completely ignore and promote systemic racism sonthe US schools are now more segregated than during Jim Crow?

          They are there to basically do nothing and protect the status quo that conservatives are creating.

          lets not forget how much they care when a white nation is invaded, but when a brown nation is invaded and genocided it is time to supply weapons to facilitate that genocide?

          Or when they cried about how cruel Trump was for putting children in concentration camps, but even Biden won, he continued the program because fuck brown children?

          yhea, Democrats are purely performative closeted conservatives. while republicans are openly conservatives.

            Even a significant majority of Black Americans are in favor of raising police budgets.

            Copaganda runs deep.

    The justice department also released video surveillance of the hallway outside of Epstein’s cell, although the digital clock on the tape skipped from 11:58:58pm to 12:00am. Officials did not address the jump and added that no further materials would be made public.

    Ah yes, the hallway footage with a minute cut out of it. The only footage we have because the camera in his cell was coincidentally not operational. And the only account we have of the events because both of the guards who were assigned to watching the most high-profile dude in the prison, while he was on suicide watch, in a camera-less cell, happened to both be asleep.

    Surely this guy totally killed himself

      This is American fascisms version of “died by falling out of a window”. They’re making it obvious they can disappear you if you become a problem for them; maybe even implicate you in CP to destroy your life before they take your life.

      The fact that D’s refused to release any of this strongly indicates Epstein island was an intelligence honeypot. How does the west feel about their “democracies” secret police enabling and protecting pedophiles as part of intelligence gathering and information warfare? That would be worse than any common war crime IMO.

        It’s not unrealistic that a billionaire staring down the rest of his life in prison would choose to go out on their own terms. It’s also ultimately unknowable for any of us normies exactly what went down in that cell, but don’t discount the possibility that he simply chose to off himself rather than deal with all of the unpleasantness he had to look towards
