Well specifically, it is still an ongoing investigation, so nobody has a “complete set of files to release.”

In February Pam Bondi said she had the first phase of files in her office, made a big public announcement about having requested all remaining files, and said she was waiting on them to be delivered. She even wrote a letter to Kash Patel about it and publicly released the letter.

Then when she read whatever was in that second half of files that got delivered to her, she suddenly wasn’t so eager to release it.

Even more than knowing what is in there about Trump, I would be most interested to know what banks knowingly financed what Epstein was doing. I would guess any bipartisan fears about information in there that could “destroy the country,” is more likely related to banks and corporations that are considered “too big to fail,” rather than any super scandalous information about individuals.

History has shown Dems to be playing the role of wolf in sheeps clothings for over a century

These are called politicians. They are humans like anyone else and they should never be placed on a pedestal or treated like they’re above criticism for being on your team.

The both sides are the same argument denies the reality that voting in your best interest and gaining incremental progress for society is a better alternative than sitting by while the world burns around you.

Saving your support for an infallible leader who checks all your boxes, gains power and rescues society while somehow appeasing the majority and yet never compromising or screwing up something important, is a fantasy at best.

And to realize that none of the parties are here for you is a scary thought, and many people want to desperatley push it away for the safe and comfortable thought that you have a champion to fight for you and you’re not alone.

A government is composed of people. People are flawed. If you’re looking to flawed people to create your ideal society rather than strategizing how to do the best you can with what you have in front of you/working towards an improved future, you’re going to be spinning your wheels for all eternity waiting to be rescued.

Out of curiosity though, what is your ideal government/who is your ideal leader, worthy of your support? Who can you point to as an example of “that person/government that got it all right, and if we could just have a government or politicians more like them, everything would work itself out.”

I wasn’t being condescending, just recommending a book about the history behind the modern Republican party. Tracing the history behind how a modern Christian right movement was created should be more than enough evidence about why the two parties being equivalent is false.

idiosyncrasies of republican ideological superstructure.

That’s the entire point of recommending the book, and the term “prefigurative traditionalism” is taken directly from the book I recommended, not my attempt to “sound smart.”

The history that led us here should be pretty convincing evidence as to why the argument both sides are equivalent or working together is false. Only one side has ever promoted voter suppression and roll backs of protections for rights, and equality, and a desire to return to “traditional values.” The U.S. history behind all of this and the creation of a moral majority, which at its core is a desire to protect and enforce white male supremacy, can be traced back to the individuals that created the Heritage Foundation.

It’s fair to say the strategy the Dems have used (trying to appease moderates out of fear of losing them to the right) is a bad one bc they don’t seem to understand what they’re actually working against, and it also plays into the false narrative of the right as somehow being a victim to a “cultural war.”

My point about victimhood being shared by fascists globally, is that there seems to be more evidence of far right leaders using the same strategies and working together globally against democracy vs there being any evidence that the modern two party system is a result of Dems working with Republicans or both sides being equivalent.

But thanks so much for explaining to me what I’m awckshully noticing.

Apologies for the facts and documented history you don’t want to hear 🤷‍♀️

I know Project 2025 hasn’t been brought up nonstop over the last year or anything, but if you can somehow imagine a publicly available document laying all this shit out point by point, it might help you understand where I’m coming from.

Compliance with ethical standards in the reporting of donor sources and ethics review in peer-reviewed publications involving organ transplantation in China: a scoping review

Results 445 included studies reported on outcomes of 85 477 transplants. 412 (92.5%) failed to report whether or not organs were sourced from executed prisoners; and 439 (99%) failed to report that organ sources gave consent for transplantation. In contrast, 324 (73%) reported approval from an IRB. Of the papers claiming that no prisoners’ organs were involved in the transplants, 19 of them involved 2688 transplants that took place prior to 2010, when there was no volunteer donor programme in China.

I recommend this book bc you seem to be misunderstanding or ignoring the history that led us to this point.

The Radical Mind: The Origins of Right-Wing Catholic and Protestant Coalition Building

The radical aims of the New Christian Right have been obscured by the way they cultivated a shared identity of victimhood and manipulated the discourse about backlash to create a nostalgic idea of the past that they then leveraged to justify their right-wing policy goals. The Catholic-Protestant alliance constructed an imagined past that they projected into the future as their ideal vision of society. Ebin calls this strategy “prefigurative traditionalism”—a paradoxical prefiguring of a manufactured past. Using this tactic, the New Christian Right coalition disguised the radicality of its politics by framing their aims as reactionary and defensive rather than proactive and offensive.

Funny how the same prefigurative traditionalism and claims about victimhood/attacks on traditional values can be seen in far right leaders across the globe, but nobody ever seems to point out the similarities.

Seriously, this is the kind of bullshit that swings so far left it circles back to right.

The goal of this administration is to remove existing government institutions and replace them with far right traditionalist based institutions that the creator of the Heritage Foundation (Paul Weyrich) began writing about ~1999.

I think that we have to look at a whole series of possibilities for bypassing the institutions that are controlled by the enemy. If we expend our energies on fighting on the “turf” they already control, we will probably not accomplish what we hope, and we may spend ourselves to the point of exhaustion. The promising thing about a strategy of separation is that it has more to do with who we are, and what we become, than it does with what the other side is doing and what we are going to do about it.

The people that created the term “cultural marxism,” want you to believe this stupid both sides are essentially the same shit so you’re less resistant to them dismantling the parts of government that people had to fight very hard for. Voters rights, civil rights, and civil liberties have always been under attack by this same group of people. Now you’ve got this dumbass propaganda telling people that since those rights have always been under attack, you might as well just assume it won’t matter if they cease to exist.

Some stuff about Alligator Alcatraz…

Some stuff about hooking a brain dead pregnant woman up to life support to be kept alive like a science experiment and forced to give birth…

Some stuff about dismantling of government institutions like the department of education…

Some stuff about closing the civil rights office that was created in response to the patriot act…

Some stuff about not being sure if we have to follow habeas corpus…

Ya I could totally see how both sides are essentially the same…

It’s also funny you’re doing some impressive gymnastics to defend a government against genocide.

Well I guess all we can do is curl up in a ball and not vote. Probably for the best 😉

Nobody is defending the Moonies, especially not this current affairs publication owned by a Japanese media corporation. Here’s plenty of examples of them calling out the Unification Church: https://thediplomat.com/tag/unification-church/

Anybody can be nominated to be an ambassador for peace, it’s also associated with the UN. https://www.upf.org/core-program/ambassadors-for-peace

Launched in 2001, Ambassadors for Peace is the largest and most diverse network of peace leaders. As of 2020, there are more than 100,000 Ambassadors for Peace from 160 countries who come from all walks of life representing many races, religions, nationalities, and cultures

Literally she has no other ties to the Moonies/unification church, and how about the human right lawyer she directly quotes.

Or the bioethicist and part of the coalition to End Transplant Abuses in China (ETAC)? All just cold war propaganda?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/06/trump-radio-free-asia-cuts-china-propaganda/

Two months after the Trump administration all but shut down its foreign news services in Asia, China is gaining significant ground in the information war, building toward a regional propaganda monopoly, including in areas where U.S.-backed outlets once reported on Beijing’s harsh treatment of ethnic minorities.

The U.S. decision to shut down much of RFA’s shortwave broadcasting in Asia is one of several cases where the Trump administration — which views China as America’s biggest rival — has yielded the adversary a strategic advantage.

Midterms are definitely important as far as putting some brakes on the crazy train.

There was plenty the Dems didn’t do that they should have done when they had their chance, but when you look at something like vaccine roll out under Trump, the way it went once the Senate subcommittee on COVID was formed, was not the way Trump was planning.

Before Dems got involved, Trump had already been making plans to give a private pharma company government contracts. As bad as COVID in 2020 was, it definitely could have been a lot worse if Trump had been allowed to run wild.

Here’s a nonpaywalled version

https://archive.is/2020.06.18-020532/https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/before-the-pandemic-top-contractor-received-billions-from-government-to-help-prepare-the-nation-for-biowarfare/2020/06/17/38d9ad3a-a41b-11ea-8681-7d471bf20207_story.html

TLDR, he was planning on completely privatizing and patenting a vaccine, that wouldn’t be affordable to the majority of the country. Shit would have been horrific.

Not to mention the company he would have contracted with ended up having a lot of quality deficits due to bad manufacturing/production issues. So the vaccine they would have made, which would have been insanely expensive, also would have been dangerous bc of the shitty quality.

Democratic oversight after the midterms is the only reason why we had the private-public rollout with the NIH handling safety and research and Moderna and Pfizer handling rollout.

This is also why Trump has taken away the NIH funding given to Moderna by the Biden administration for an up to date bird flu vaccine, and why he is so set on destroying public funding in science and safety oversight.

I could see it being a distraction but also feel like this should just be added to the growing list of things people should not let go as midterms approach and the administration tries to redirect the narrative of reality. Don’t let them.

Its a lot to keep up with, but in no particular order, as a direct result of this administration and Republicans in the House and Senate:

•Rich pedophiles are now an officially protected species

•Trump tried to insult and neg his own supporters into dropping the Epstein list

•Economy is in shambles and projected to get worse

•Over 100 Americans suddenly dead in Texas due to severe flooding and cuts to warning systems that were in place until Trump took office (Republicans are seriously trying to blame this on “weather manipulation”). Similar disasters very likely to follow.

•After other disasters in other loyalist red states, emergency funding was withheld or delayed due to a lack of coordination between the white house and FEMA (with Trump’s own pick leading things, last I heard he was on vacation and MIA following the TX floods)

•Energy grids and local water supplies are being strained all over the country by the very stupid and very expensive AI data factories being rolled out across the U.S.

•Giant Palantir surveillance database being created to keep tabs on all Americans. Don’t forget that over the last 6 months: -ICE has been given the greenlight to break down doors without a warrant -Trump openly admitting he’s not sure he has to follow due process -Trump dismantling the office of Human Rights and Civil Liberties that was created as a direct result of government overreach on behalf of the patriot act -There’s a very fine line between what Trump can do to handle immigration and what he can do to any and all American citizens in the name of “domestic safety.” That office was in charge of ensuring that line didn’t get crossed, and if it did ensuring there would at least be documentation about it available through FOIA.

•Trump knew about Netenyahu’s planned bombing of Iran, publicly lied about it, said he didn’t want a war with Iran, but then randomly just decided to start kicking the hornet’s nest

•Millions of Americans are losing their healthcare (in particular rural Americans and Trump’s own voters are being hit especially hard by this) in order to provide tax cuts to wealthy elite

•Even the ultraconservative Cato institute has criticized Trump’s planned spending on immigration laid out in the BBB (over $1 trillion dollars on deportation spending seems a kinda ridiculous when you can’t find the budget for Americans to have Medicaid)

There’s more, but just a few things off the top of my head.

But if he didn’t make a big public announcement how else would Charlie Kirk have something to advertise to all the people at Turning Point U.S.A. who are starting to ask too many questions

Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who was critical of the administration’s handling of the files in recent days, praised Trump’s move. “This is massive, this is something that we’ve been talking about for quite some time, and really a power to the grassroots,” he said.

Wow…

So when the Dems try to force the release of the files after the president promised to release them then tried to go back on that promise, it’s “all for political show.”

When the Trump administration picks and chooses what breadcrumbs they will toss to the public (after already releasing edited footage and lying about it and insulting his own supporters), it’s “power to the grassroots.” 👑

Just to be clear, I’m not complaining about Democrats (in this instance). They did what they could in a ridiculous situation.

If anything people need to be blasting the shit out of the fact that team Epstein just ignored testimony of 900 people that worked at the DOJ back when that file that suddenly can’t be released was being put together.
