You know they won't, until they can get away with releasing an obvious fake.

I for one am extremely surprised that we didn't recieve some obviously bullshit, AI-written "files" that conveniently implicate all of Trump's opponents while leaving him and his posse out.

Pleasantly surprised, don't get me wrong, but I fully expected that out of this administration. They've already proven time and again that they have zero shame or accountability, this would be right up their alley.

Fuck no. In some cases it can be as bad as the crime, but most of the time the crimes are far worse than those that let it happen.

I think the point is that enabling a: allows an individual to repeatedly comit the crime and b: allows more people to comit the same crime. Ergo worse than an individual criminal act.

That is committing a crime as an accomplice, which is different than enabling a crime which by default is passive or encouraging.

Trump is a rapist and Epstein is an accomplice. Johnson avoiding a vote is a form of enabling, but that is not as bad as the rapist and their accomplice.

The term enabling when it comes to crime is used differently than for people who enable overeating or substance abuse by covering symptoms because there are more specific terms for active involvement in crimes.

Fuck no was my first thought also. Yes everyone involved should be held accountable, but the fucking criminal is the worst one.

If you're defending someone who is accused of a crime... Well... you better have a really good fucking reason. Like being their defense attorney. Except, IMO, lawyers caught doing shenanigans shouldn't just get disbarred and MAYBE prison time. They deserve to be enslaved on sugar plantations. As well as their children. Just my 2 cents. If you give them a carrot, and have a suitcase nuke in their crawl space where their family lives... Well, would have to be pretty motivated to not take the carrot.

I don’t think that’s equivalent. An attorney isn’t obstructing justice, they are a crucial part of the system, there to ensure that the accused gets a fair trial and that any possibility of them being innocent is taken into consideration. Even if they’re defending an obvious criminal.

These people aren’t part of the justice system. They’re blocking the release of information surfaced under a criminal investigation because they know that its release will impact them negatively, and they’re already not exactly popular.

If you believe in the rule of law (which you should unless you're a fascist) you can defent a pedofile or any othet criminal without being on their side. Point is just to make sure they get a fair trial and justice happens.

You are replying to someone who is advocating enslaving children due to the actions of their parent. This is not reasonable.

You should, even. Being a pedophile is not a crime. Acting it out by harming children is a crime. And by far not all child sexual abuse is done by pedophiles.

Even weirder is how they somehow got a lot of people's votes on the basis they would protect children and expose the pedophiles.

Unfortunately, not confined to a single party.

Carter replacing Nixon/Ford, Clinton taking office in the wake of Iran-Contra and the S&L Crash, Obama coming in after a slew of scandals under Bush/Cheney, and Biden coming in under Trump 1 all sang the same song. Everyone seems ready to pass the buck, for fear that a future administration might use prosecutorial powers against them in turn. Nobody seems to care that the next office-holder's corruption and power hording might upend their legacy or threaten their livelihoods.

Wait is "that X" replacing what would've been "that tweet", in the before times, or am I being dense? Does one "X a reaction" to the latest news, maybe "re-X" someone else's? After the fact, has one "X'ed about it"?

To be clear, not laying any of that at your feet whatsoever, lol.

But if so...just amazing stuff. Not only trashed what was arguably the most cohesive, iconic branding of the Internet era, but made it just flat out impossible to talk about in any smooth way at all.

Nancy Mace's fixation on her transgender colleague, combined with her stubborn reluctance to interrogate the files of a heavily trafficked high profile human trafficker, absolutely screams "Skeletons in the Closet".

I remember when Mark Foley and Dennis Hastert were making all the same noises about gay men back in the Bush Era.

At this point just say it outright. Protecting an American. /S

The whole Epstein thing is just to get people to look away from america as a whole which is like 100,000 Epstein's and paid for by people that identify as American. /Dramatization

Seriously speaking though Epstein is a fall guy... Things are way bigger than the Epstein trafficking story. The marketing for the Epstein trafficking and them playing this out is all done for a reason. And I don't think the reason has to do with Republicans alone. ...or even america. I think people underestimate well connected criminals that work globally. I think people don't understand nations, states, and towns are seen as small businesses to larger entities and are played out and manipulated as such. And within that same circle of cunts is Donald Trump, also a bitch and fall guy. People need to understand there are smarter people than the talking heads really controlling things. And that criminals and people willing to kill are not just new and hip-hop portrayed gangsters.... We live in an age that if someone really wanted to they could manipulate someone to commit a murder via social media connections, never mind criminal threatening and violent mafia style pressure.
