Trump's Team Is Scrambling to Scare GOP to Defect on Epstein Files Release - Lemmy.World

People should be pressuring their own local representatives to make sure they ARE voting to release the Epstein Files. So far in the past 24 hours, Trump’s team has: - Threatened GOP members with Truth posts - Placed threatening stories with friendly media outlets - Called over a dozen House Republicans for secret meetings I’m sure they will escalate this before any votes happen, but let’s make sure this passes.

Just waiting to see if the Epstein files is the thing that Trump finally falls on. Not holding my breath though since there are a million other things that should have brought him down.

Probably right to be cynical, given we’ve seen him stoke an insurrection in public, while plotting a coup at the same time, and he paid zero penalty for it.

Meanwhile, on this, we see Megyn Kelly starting to do that skeevy hairsplitting on what is technically pedophilia vs. abusing underage adolescents. I’m not really sure if GOP wants to really die on the “yeah, but the underage trafficking was for ephebophiles!” hill, but I guess we’ll see.

I happen to have a career which puts me in contact with a good number of people who say things like, “Have you seen Bob’s daughter? She doesn’t look like she is 14…you’d think she was 23.” As if that’s some form of rational thought process for their inability to stop sexualizing young girls.

Our lizard brains think a ton of stupid shit If you’re well adjusted, you turn off those thoughts, or minimally don’t say them out loud.

I work in rural America, but I’m not going to be specific.
