    Whelp, I took a look over at conservative over on reddit, they fell right back in line. Not a mention of epstein or maxwell anywhere to be found. They must let them vent until they’re tired and then start feeding them the new ways of thinking when they’re weak.

      They’re deleting threads and banning people talking about it. This is the plan going forward for everything, continually removing real people and let the bot accounts keep going because they stay on message. If only 1% of redditors post content, the other 99% will continue reading, lurking and believing the discussion has moved on.

      they had a megathread and then deleted it, so people cant make thier own post, they are aslo either banning or removing post about epstein, the russian backed mods have it under control over there.

      since r/conservative have been overtaken by propaganda mods, i wonder how the other ones are doing

    Reality is so boring that you knew the script but have to wait for it to play out.

      Absolutely, but you can’t trust that the names she will say really are customers. They will add innocent people they want to get rid of.

    Weird way of “justice” in the US

    If anyone is going to lower or pardon my sentence, I’ll name anyone they ask and throw them under the bus. It’s been happening forever but NOW its a problem.

    Fucking joke of a country.

    Y’all are never getting anything done as long as the limit of your response to injustice is “call your senators”.

      The US needs more detonants like Luigi. There needs to be Luigis and people gathering behind them peacefully. This helps gather people on your side and helps build momentum. The administration’s attack on peaceful crowds will only increase resentment, so they will try to incite violence from within to justify their attacks. However, a constant and peaceful resistance is the biggest weapon you have to advance the cause.

      I propose fighting the good fight on all grounds you can, but also - you’re just one person. I personally think the best thing you can do in this dark world is pick up litter, check on your neighbor, advocate for yourself, and try to develop a reflex for asking questions rather than automatically asserting yourself. What do you guys think? Also, to the person I’m directly responding to, I absolutely agree with you.

    No matter the party…. If your name is on the list of “customers” then you should be held accountable. Fuck this divisive party shit. Pedophilia is unacceptable no matter what.

    Don’t worry, I’m sure the institutions of our country will be honorable and committed enough that when Trump starts trying to turn official law enforcement bodies against literally any one of his political enemies with a 5-year-old’s understanding of what kind of believable pretext he needs to create, they’ll push back and it’ll fall apart and just make him look like the vindictive, dishonest sexual predator he is.

    Three months later: Oh no

    Six months later: Oh fuck oh God Jesus Christ, help me

    I would really recommend that if people have five minutes to invest, they take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OynP5pnvWOs

    It won’t just be Dems, it will be a kill list if anyone he wants removed. Murdoc if he actually has turned and isn’t just performing for a sleight of hand diversion. Same for Musk Forgiven leaders who don’t kiss the ring GOP cronies who turn, fail to tow the line ir become reactive to bad polls

    A pardon may be a bridge too far. Keep in mind, she’s in prison and will sing any tune Trump wants merely for extra privileges.

    Was? Already? Was it from a fifth floor? Did she look funny? Nothing worse than an embarrassing end.
