The CHILDREN?

"There was very much a class aspect to this.

A lot of the YOUNG GIRLS came from broken homes and poor backgrounds.

Some of them had been abused in their own families.

CHILDREN WERE VIEWED, BASICALLY, AS OBJECTS … THEY WERE VIEWED AS DISPOSABLE CHILDREN."

AUCTIONABLE CHILDREN!!
Young girls "were viewed as disposable people." Epstein files reveal not just crimes, but how elite society actually works
The women "were viewed as disposable people." The files reveal not just crimes, but how elite society actually works.

It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

This, along with the seizure of ballots and voting data, is another massive red flag for Americans: This is the kind of thing authoritarians say and do when they are preparing to rig the vote.

They are preparing to steal your vote, and you have to take action now to stop them.

Please don’t turn the Epstein files into a joke.
This is real for survivors.
Many former victims are realizing for the first time they were used by a system.
How this is discussed online matters.
Tread carefully.

Trump sues US taxpayers for $10 billion, then decides whether US taxpayers have to pay him the $10 billion. I guess the billions he made overseas in the past year selling out America to his foreign business partners isn't enough.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.
