Donald Trump’s name is in the Epstein files, his own team reportedly warned him. That “boom” you heard this afternoon was a political scandal going thermonuclear.

What A Day: Trial By File

  1. Sadly none of this will matter unless sane Americans can actually take control of their country and oust the criminals office….. I wouldn’t hold your breath, the stupidity of conservative voters far outweighs their desire to actually better the country.

  2. His name is all over all of the Epstein files. Because trump was a client of Epstein’s. Doesn’t take a genius to put the two together. You don’t need epstein to have spelled it out in his diary. We may never have enough evidence to convict trump in a court of law. But we have more than enough to conclude in the court of public opinion. Anyone who insists trump is innocent is full of shit. They know what he did. They just don’t care because he’s giving them a tax break and locking up brown people.

  3. Few years ago I would have believed this level of corruption to be a deal breaker for ANYONE. Not under that illusion anymore.

    It’s clear now that the pedo r***** is still more favorable than a lib to ~50% of the damn country. No matter what.

  4. At this point, there’s no doubt that Trump is a pedophile. He was best friends with Epstein for over a decade, they hunted women together and were even sued for raping a 13-year-old. His behavior since then clearly shows guilt: from trying to suppress discussion, to calling the files fake and a hoax, to reportedly considering a pardon for Maxwell. That alone makes it obvious. Also, don’t forget that Trump appointed his personal lawyer as Deputy Attorney General—the same person meeting with Maxwell and her lawyer, who just happens to be a close friend of Trump’s attorney. This is a cover-up in plain sight.

  5. The whataboutism cries in the conservative subs have hit fever pitch. It’s crazy. It took longer than usual but the base is getting in line behind this.

    There’s no bottom to the depths of maga, and there’s no mechanism to hold trump accountable. Now he’s talking about pardoning Maxwell?

  6. It’ll all be over next week when Trump drip feeds 10 names (which Ghislaine just gave up on condition of a later stealth pardon) per day over 20 days.

  7. ‘Thermonuclear’ huh? Call me when someone not on Trump’s personal shit list he’s having Maxine memorize goes to jail. 

  8. Imagine it takes him being an actual child diddler for his base to wake up. Now imagine they still don’t.

  9. I still don’t understand this. Would someone please explain it to me..

    We have always known he’s in the files. . We’ve always known they were long term friends. We know Trump has admitted to abusing women, spying on underage girls, the rape allegations.

    Isn’t this all just treading over very old and well worn ground?

    What’s next? Are we going to start talking about how Trump laundered money for Russian crime groups or takes bribes ?

  10. There is no “thermonuclear boom.”

    1) Ghisline Maxwell is now a compromised witness

    2) Even if she does name Trump, his cult will not believe it

    3) Even if every single piece of evidence and information regarding Epstein was released, Trump’s cult will not believe it

    3) His cult will still support him, all the way to a third possible election (possible shadow running under Vance)

  11. Maxwell will cover for trump and get a pardon in return. Fox News is already working on her redemption arc narrative to give trump justification for her pardon.

  12. We’ve known this for over a decade. They were friends, they had friends in common, they had similar interests, Trump is a convicted rapist and self-professed sexual abuser. None of this is news to anyone who has been paying attention.

  13. The best is is that all of this existed before. The only difference is Trump is scrambling.

    Any adult who supported him needs some deep reconciliation with how they get their information if they were unaware of how much of a piece of shit he is until now. They helped elect a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, and an alleged pedophile. Every one of those titles existed before the election.

    Now he’s ass fucking the government while stripping it of value and shilling shit coins. Fuck what y’all did to America. It wasn’t great but MAGA fully sold it to a mob boss.

  14. Didn’t you hear the thundering sound as you returned to White House? That was the Voice of the Courts, summoning Trump to court.

  15. When one combatant is willing to do the unimaginable, not just the unthinkable , they will best you. If they are able to pass it off as something it is not, they will win.

  16. Don’t know why we are still calling them epstein files. They clearly are the Trump files

  17. I wish I could be that optimistic, but after seeing maga select him again, I think they’ll find a way to compartmentalize it and explain it away. Nothing seems to stick, no matter how toxic it’d be to anyone else regardless of party. 

    It’s depressing. Trump doesn’t differentiate between people, policy and approach that he’s against instinctively because Biden or Obama favored them. So now we’re anti-science and anti common-sense climate action, just because Biden or Obama would have been pro.

    I hope I’m wrong and not giving maga enough credit, but I have so little faith in their North Star beliefs. I don’t think they have any.

  18. He’s definitely got something cooked up with Maxwell, because he seems more at ease with the whole situation in the last 24 hrs

  19. This hasn’t gone thermonuclear.

    If this had gone Thermonuclear, EVERY Republican member of Congress would be calling for the ouster of not just Trump, but his VP, NSA, AG, and his Secretary of Education. There would be hearings. Impeachments. Convictions

    Until ANY of this happens, it’s just political theater

  20. Of course trump is in the Epstein files. His sick supporters know it too.

  21. Let’s play this out…

    Let’s say for arguments sake the files are released and they state that Trump had visited Espteins Island numerous times, he had a very close relationship with Epstein, that Epstein had supplied girls for Trump.

    So what?

    Nothing is going to happen.

    He is not going to be impeached, he is not going to be investigated, he is not going to be charged..

    Literally nothing changes.

    He will still be President until either his term ends or he passes.

  22. This is a shitty title. Nothing will happen to Trump. Rs in Congress won’t allow it.

  23. Can someone tell me why no one went after any of the people in the files?

  24. Is this why he also doesn’t want us to see his finances? Payment after payment to Epstein?

  25. I don’t think Trump cares about being regarded as pedophile by society at large. He doesn’t care about the legality of it either, because he is practically immune to consequences of the law. I think what he does care about is a rabid member of his base decides that they felt betrayed and he needs taken care of.

  26. Can’t wait for the investigations, court case, sentencing and no actual consequences for Trump.
