MAGA’s concern was never about children. It was always about finding presumed dirt on Democrats. How else could you explain a survey that shows almost half of Republicans would still support Trump if he were implicated in the Epstein files?
WhiskerFiend (@drsjns.bsky.social) reply parent
over 1,000 girls were sex trafficked. EVERYONE should be outraged + demand the files. Epstein + Maxwell had helpers, not the least of which are the men who raped these girls. If this involves politicians FROM EITHER PARTY- so be it. These girls should receive justice, and the rapers deserve jail.

I think it’s more sinister than that. There may not be an election in 2028- with approx 50 BILLION dollars going to ICE (in the Nasty Bill that will very likely pass) - we’re closer than ever to a Police State. Anyone sympathetic to immigrants will become a target.

How can one be accused of assaulting a federal officer (ICE) if the person hasn’t been shown actual federal credentials during the encounter? This essentially means ANYONE can kidnap you, and you assume that fighting back when some random stranger forces you into a car could get you arrested. #ICE
