Typical right wing authoritarians. Can’t believe reality if it hurts them. They support a guy who rapes pre-pubescent girls and they don’t want to say what he did was bad enough to stop him. The right is showing they don’t actually care about children. They don’t mind pedophiles. They are okay with sacrificing their children. The right hates children so this lines up perfectly with their belief.
Remember when the Catholic Church tried to protect abusive priests?
Now we have the Republican party protecting pedophiles.
The Democrats who didn’t release them when they controlled the house and Senate?
Yes, the ones that didn’t campaign on exactly this topic, releasing the files. I believe they should be released but this whataboutism is just silly.
This is not whataboutism. It’s pointing out hypocrisy of a party that is over the last 8 years have first failed at holding DJT accountable and now are actively collaborating on enabling his authoritarian state by first confirming his incompetent cabinet, then by voting for his bills and now trying to placate voters by “doing an effort” to release the files.
Not to mention railing against democratic candidates who have popular support in their own party.
There’s a broader context, but you know that or you wouldn’t start swearing the second someone disagrees with you.
You got it
It may be all those things, but it doesn’t change that it is whataboutism. I’m not here defending anybody. They should have built a case and prosecuted it when they had the chance. In fact, even though typically straight up releasing files like this while there is pending prosecution is a huge mistake, I still think they should have been released.
But only one group campaigned on this to this extent, then did a complete about-face to cover it up.
And I’m sorry for using harsh language; I thought that was allowed around here.
So campaign on it and do nothing. Got it.
What the fuck are you talking about? That is precisely what happened here. Most of these republican goons got their base frothing at the mouths over these documents, holding up binders, going on talk shows and news shows, literally claiming they’d release these documents. And now they aren’t.
There was an entire term prior to Biden you dolt. That’s what the fuck I’m talking about. Didn’t shore up SS or medicare trust funds either, but hey it was only four years long I know.
I think Lemmy has been taken over in the last few weeks.
Comments like this would be 100% upvoted at the top, and now it’s “a debate” or “you could have said that kinder”
Of course the Dems are on the files. They are “making an effort” because it’s a political no brainer. They now GOP will block it and look bad doing it, and they can campaign on that they wanted it released.
Those files are the reason we only have 5 frames of whatever impacted the pentagon, why Trump was never held accountable for any of his serious crimes, and how the entire cabal works.
If you can keep them quiet with kompromat, you control the entire state. How is this not bleeding obvious for anyone with half a brain?
Where do we go now that Lemmy is becoming another Reddit?
I think you need to chill out
Completely. Was a fun few months, time to delete.
Sure. I mean, releasing the Epstein files is critical to supporting the working people. O wait.
