It's coming (if he can't sue or threaten it out of existence) and when/if it does, it will be glorious.

Good piece of writing. It is enjoyable to see Trump, who has made his entire political career on conspiracy theories and lies, being flailed for his non-release of these files.

It’s not just a list, but an index.

If Epstein kept several thousand hours of video recordings then he needed to index it all. There’s just no point in keeping that much material if he had to go through hundreds of hours of video to find what he needed. He probably didn’t blackmail people himself, but was the go-to person to purchase blackmail material from. Obviously for a price.

But it’s no secret that Trump was a frequent visitor to Epstein’s ‘Fantasy Island’ - thousands of photos are in circulation on the internet. So being on the ‘Guest List’ is no big deal. But an index to video recordings is something else. That’s something that can’t be brazenly dismissed like the Stormy Daniels episode.

And it has to be deeply problematic. Something that would warrant having Epstein killed in prison.

And that is why Trump’s inner circle are panicking. They all want out.

But is that it?

Is video recording the raping of children the bottom line?

Or can it get worse?

Much, much worse?

Is the real reason that Trump and Epstein fell out in 2004 that Trump discovered that his great buddy sold the entire catalog of materials to Putin? We all know that Vladimir 'come look at the view from this window' Putin can be very persuasive.

And that's why Epstein got shut down with a prosecution for human trafficking the following year. Because anyone else purchasing and using Epstein's material would devalue Putin's 'investment'.

And so Putin now had blackmail material on a hell of a lot of people in Washington.

And that really would explain a lot of strange behavior by the GOP in the past couple of decades . . .

Raping children and recording it is an abomination. Epstein and Trump’s bromance goes deeper and wider in a corrupt political atmosphere that goes back decades and behind closed doors with Hollywood’s elites to wealthy political figures. The Epstein Files and The Epstein List must be released to hold the people who violated these young girls, who were lured by Ghisalaine Maxwell accountable. The Orange Dumpster Fire Starter is drowning in his own puddle of shit, after spending years of building a platform as a hero to save trafficked children. His maga cult base ate this up morning, noon, and night, showing their allegiance to The Orange Colossal Shit Stain on Humanity, while he knowingly participated in the raping of young girls with Epstein. What kind of fucking moron uses a platform that is about raping children, when that fucking moron is guilty of raping children?

Thing is, that if the Epstein files - should be renamed ‘The Pedo Files’ - are made public, then Putin loses his grip on both houses of Congress. That’s where the real pressure is coming from to keep the files secret. It’s easy to see that it’s Putin that is applying the pressure to Trump, because Trump does what Putin tells him, and Trump’s brain has just exploded.

It’s almost as if this were choreographed. Elon “leaks”, then acts as if he made a huge mistake and deletes the post. The seed is planted, however, and carefully curated.

The “bombshell” drops, Trump falls and Vance steps in. Techbros take one more step toward their techno-state. Hard not to believe we aren’t all being played.

The Democrats have not really followed or even talked much about this story at all. This has been a massive story for MAGA and QAnon and the “right” and something they’ve talked about almost every single day.

-If they want the answers, they really need to pursue it because the Democrats can’t do any more to get it for them. They have already voted every single Democrat to a person to release the files and it is only Republicans (AFP - American Fascist Party) blocking this at every level.

For Trump, Domestic Adversaries Are Not Just Wrong, They Are ‘Evil’

Trump Lashes Out at Supporters Over Epstein Criticism

President Trump targeted his supporters who were critical of the administration’s decision not to release more information on Jeffery Epstein’s case, posting on social media that he didn’t want their backing anymore.

Trump disavows "PAST supporters" who believed "Jeffrey Epstein Hoax"

Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon is warning that Republicans could lose up to 40 seats in the 2026 midterms if the Trump administration does not release the full Epstein files. The warning follows an official conclusion from Trump’s Justice Department and FBI that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide. Prominent Trump allies—including Dan Bongino, Laura Loomer, and Kash Patel—have expressed frustration with the administration’s handling of the case.

Prominent Trump allies have expressed frustration…… But our inaction will result in FF 47 appointing a special prosecutor. It would be someone like Bove or Bondi. This would be another John Durham sponging off our taxpayer dollars for years and beyond January 20, 2029. Better to have continued pressure and someone will finally spill the beans.

Truly insane. His dementia is out of control. Drugs mixes make him worse. Culturally this is very important but SHAME is the malignant sociopath's biggest fear. I bet he feels haunted. Keep it coming Dean. I have some interesting tidbits but I'm
