Some Democrats say the Jeffrey Epstein saga is an unwelcome distraction that’s diverting attention away from Trump’s "big, beautiful bill," which they warn will cause millions of Americans to lose healthcare and food assistance.

Fuck that. The bill has already been passed. I'm sure the "Some Democrats", are Chuck Schumer.

The consequences of the BBB won’t be understood until they are imposed. Keep the negative spotlight on Trump so the cuts are proven to be a another reason the base has been screwed

It's not a distraction, it's a co-occurring disorder showing how sick this nation has become. The sitting President being a pedo is not something that should ever be out of the news, no matter what else is happening.

The bill has already passed and there is nothing Dems can do about it so Americans will unfortunately notice it soon enough without their involvement. The Epstein thing can therefore not be a distraction. Also I’d like leaders who can focus on more than one thing please.

Dem can't get out of their own way,. All of a sudden, 6 years later in July 2025, Epstein becomes the #1 issue of the day for. Sure, it's an annoyance even for MAGA but Americans are focused on border security, the economy & foreign policy while Dems are going on and on about Epstein.
