Yea, this is “what are you gonna do about it” phase of our government.

Good-night and enjoy your dictatorship.

Oops, No, that was wishful thinking after the Monica affair. Sorry.

He SHOULD have resigned.

Unfortunately the law was written with no teeth. There are no real repercussions for failure to adhere to it.
Show threaduselessartifactMar 6
Well, there are repercussions for us plebs. ‘Rules for thee…’ and such.

We are inferior because of our lack of money and influence and don’t deserve protections.

Also no way to enforce. DOJ won’t bother and they know it.

Feb 16 2026 Justice Department head Pam Bondi says “all Epstein files released”

“Attorney General Pam Bondi announced in a letter to Congress that the Justice Department has released what she described as ‘all’ of the Jeffrey Epstein files, saying the agency has fulfilled its obligations under the Epstein Transparency Act.”

Mar 4 2026 … apparently that thing she said was a lie.

DOJ declares full release of Epstein Files, but list of 300 names sparks backlash

At this point I am starting to think there might be evidence of something huge in these files. Like the US involvement with the plans for 9/11 or something.

A snap shot of 80 years of moneyed interest mischief undoubtedly.

Weird what dates they didn’t release…

I feel like when everything is said and done I’m going to owe a lot of people an apology

That awkward moment when Epstein orchestrated 9/11 on behalf of Israel because bush jr wasn’t into children like every other politician.

We’re gonna find out that the only politicians that dont fuck children are W, Cheney, and goddamn Kissinger then my brain is gonna collapse in on itself like a dying star.

Aren’t there like 3 MILLION more?
Show threadCruelMar 5
Most of it is duplicative, most likely. But they might as well publish them at this point.
Show threadBronzebeardMar 6
No they’re not. We’re missing the majority of files for an entire decade.
Show threadCruelMar 6
What files? Are you talking about FBI investigative files prior to 2006? How do you even conclude it’s a majority?
Show threadbrownsuggaMar 6
We won’t know until they’re published
Show threadtackleberryMar 5
WHat’s the point removing them? Not like the criminals mentioned in the already publicly available ones have been prosecuted
Show threadCileTheSaneMar 5
Because whatever you think is in them, whatever you think we already know, it’s significantly worse.
Show threadtackleberryMar 6
Totally agree.
Show threadSabinStargemMar 5
I hope that foreign governments release the unredacted PDFiles, in full.
Show threadflying_sheepMar 5

You can say pedophiles on the internet.

What is this self-censoring bullshit? We’re not on dear leader’s tiktok

Show threadScroll ResponsiblyMar 5
…I think that was a pun.
Show threadflying_sheepMar 5

It’s a common self-censor kids use on censored sites/apps like YouTube or TikTok.

Just life “unalive”.

Show threadScroll ResponsiblyMar 6
I am aware of the term and its normal use.
Show threadSabinStargemMar 5
I am not censoring. It is a portmanteau: Pedofile, and a format of document, PDF. For some of us, word play is amusing.
Show threadflying_sheepMar 5
OK. It’s just also a common euphemism for “pedophile” in the same places where people use “unalive” instead of “kill”
Show threadmodusMar 6
Woosh
Show threadZinkMar 5

They are under no obligation to, of course, but I wish we’d see the victims band together and ask that any & all parties with access to the full unredacted files release them immediately. Zero redactions.

There are so many victims though, that you can’t just get them on a stage together on TV. And surely some will still not want to be outed.

Show threadSabinStargemMar 5

It sucks that some innocent folks would relive bad memories from an unredacted release. On the other paw, that shield of civility is also letting horrible monsters have free reign to continue abusing people, or to escape the consequences of their sordid past.

As a society, we should be able to treat the survivors with kindness, and the understanding that they didn’t “ask for it”.

Show threadZinkMar 5

Oh I agree. The documents should get dumped in full and we should treat the survivors with the grace and generosity they deserve.

Then maybe we think of some ways to stop putting greedy psychopaths into positions of power!

Our culture is completely on board with ruining both of these ideas, though.

The documents should get dumped in full and we should treat the survivors with the grace and generosity they deserve.

Have you met people? You and I might do that, but you can’t guarantee some awful shithead will, and there’s a lot of them out there.

Show threadmuusemuuseMar 6
You know, a simple ad campaign of some brave victims coming out and saying “I spoke up. I looked at the files. I’m not in the files.” could be incredibly powerful right now.

I hope hackers who wear thigh-high striped socks release the unredacted files in full.

Wouldn’t even need that at this point. I guarantee Elon has a (likely illegal) copy. Simply apply pressure and wait for him to break.
Show threadXatolosMar 5

You hope that foreign governments will somehow release us government non-public files?

Im curious, how do you think that will work? They don’t have access to them anymore than you do.

Show threadSabinStargemMar 5
Typically, governments have spies. Those are useful for getting at the motive and intent of other nations, alongside convenient dirt.
Show threadNachteuleMar 5
Stuff like this happens only in nations that are moronic and useless enough to be run by tax collecting pedophiles, rapists and war hawks. They will get away with this.
