Limo drivers often make great sources. So do pilots for private jets. In fact, the entire service staff for billionaires. Don’t underestimate them— they often know what was really going on. And if there’d been a serious investigation, they’d all have given evidence by now.
You guys caught this too, right?
“Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.”
Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.”

As a former Texas, I sure hope so. And as an American, I desperately want to believe you’re right.
Living in Midland, Texas I have hope this Christmas.
I see no more Trump flags or MAGA hats.
Our former MAGA mayor has written a book about moving to the middle politically and civility in politics.
I'm not saying we are turning blue.
But people are sick of Trump.
There is hope.

How to Unredact the Epstein files:
Copy, cut and paste.
It's as simple as that. Instead of really redacting text, the low-IQ individuals DOJ merely highlighted the text in black.
So copy the text, then cut and paste it to a new one.
It's as simple as that. So unredact away, friends.

There's a lot of focus on how the dripping antisemitism on the right has created a useful rupture in various parts of Trump's support, and that's true.
But I really worry that EVEN those on the less hateful side of that split are ignoring how dangerous some of these terrorists are.
