Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So... can someone please explain to me what people hope will happen here? We have known the names of people partying with Epstein for years now. We know that Trump was a pedo just like Epstain, that he was surrounding himself with young girls, bragging about assaulting women. He was convicted of rape in civil court! We know that Melania was Epstein's girlfriend before he handed her to Trump.
Despite this the only thing that happened is that Andrew lost his royal title. No charges, no real punishment. No one else faced any consequences. We know that the deal with Epstein prevents DOJ from charging anyone else in this case. For fuck sake, we knew all this before the elections and Trump still won!
So... once all the papers are out and once we discover who parties with Epstein AGAIN, what do people think will happen?
The hope that enough people are aghast at what happened and stop supporting him leading to shithead Republicans doing their job (only for the purpose of saving their own cowardly hides) and dumping him. This doesn't assume it is standalone- combine rampant pedophilia with a terrible economy. Whatever it takes for the awful, awful people who prop up the Republican party to finally say enough.
Whether that happens..
