Think this will change anything?
Whether it changes anything or not, the public deserves to know.
What in the world is that emoji? I think my eyes are getting worse.
It's a hand shake 🤝

After immunity, these are official acts. Good luck.
Most of these charges predate his presidency.
The Supreme Court will rule that by becoming a us president, a person gains absolution for all their crimes, and cannot be charged with any crimes while in office.
So, taking over the government by force and killing people who disagree with you is actually not a crime at the moment. Hurry up Joe!!!
*Biden excepted.
This is just Doom posting. The opinion was terrible and a major threat to democracy, but Robert specifically calls out a candidate running for presidency as an example of a "private act."
Yeah I think the ruling was garbage too but I'm getting tired of the overly dramatic hot takes on this everywhere. Nuance is dead.
They could have multi-angle IMAX video of Trump cornholing a dozen toddlers and the MAGats would still think he was the second coming of Christ.
It wouldn't matter at all because "Bill Clinton did it too!!"
To me it looks like the judge wants something to be seen. Wealthy-and-connected privilege? Maybe even these documents show how deep into the known names this hole runs? Without the ambiguity of "the only documented thing is a dinner"
But I'm not an expert on the issue and judges in general, so maybe I'm misinterpreting something
I mean it really has been no secret at all that trump was close friends with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and at the very least was aware of what was going on for some time. More than likely he participated in some of the nefarious and weird ass crap going on at their properties and while that is certainly not proven, there sure is a lot of damning evidence (also his response when asked if he would release the Epstein files if elected a few weeks ago was hilarious lol). And people just simply don't care. Like not even a little. At this point if it came out that trump was actually the one behind it all and he just had Epstein be the fall guy or something I still don't think it would change anything at all.
If they had a video of him raping a 13 year old it wouldn't matter to MAGAs.
If that Russian Trump piss tape does exist, the other people involved are almost certainly underage.
"the people in power hate him for raping those kids, that's why I like him!".
Nothing wrong with a little sunshine.
Are you kidding? That's not the name of the game, it has always been RATINGS.
