Now we understand why Trump didn’t want [the Epstein files] released.

Just a week before the midterm elections, which are already shaping up to be a bloodbath for the GOP, Democrats have dropped a bombshell. “A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s,” states a just-released report from the Democrats of the House Judiciary Committee.

Additionally, they claim that Trump has leveraged his FBI and DOJ to cover up the evidence, and have now called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate any potential wrongdoing.

Been saying this for so long. The US is my country too. It's better at propaganda than North Korea or any dictatorship. They're all through force. We don't need to force our population to believe in oppression. We put oppression on the menu and allow average citizens to experience applying it to others in bits and pieces from time to time.

You have to break the country to shut down the propaganda machine. It truly does need to be split into several pieces. The corporate media propaganda machine, the monopolies, the political parties who grip onto power...it'd all go away and we'd have a chance to fight for something new.

The US is so good at propaganda that you are even repeating its propaganda in a comment that is calling out their propaganda.

Oh gosh, we need to do the exact thing that the people running the country into the ground want to do?

trump was pushed by the tech oligarchs specifically to fuck the country up so much it would have to be parted out. The thing that has happened to every company he has ever run.
