No political leanings, but do not agree with people who say something is a fact because someone told them it was - without actually researching evidence.
He’s so transparent even his base must get fed up with his nonsense eventually - particularly as he’s (trying to) play them and everyone else for fools.
Trump: the House should release the Epstein files because I have nothing to hide.

The investigation he launched means the DoJ can withhold anything he wants until he says the investigation is over, which gives him the ability to hide whatever he likes while he is in office.

Letter from Epstein survivors to Congress:

"Your primary duty is to your constituents. Look into the eyes of your children, your sisters, your mothers, and your aunts. Imagine if they had been preyed upon. Imagine if you yourself were a survivor. What would you want for them?"

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

I remember, as small children, my friends and I changed the names of people we didn’t like. It’s the same tactic Trump still uses. We grew out of this childish behaviour- I wonder why he hasn’t.

What a tangled web…. It does appear something underhanded may have changed their minds after all this time - or is Trump bored with playing at President and not having the total adoration he believes he deserves?
Trumpworld is fully circling the wagons with this announcement about supporting the Epstein files vote.

Pretty much every major staffer and adviser has tweeted about it in the past 20-30 mins

Interesting reverse turn. He’s in the Epstein Files - this doesn’t necessarily mean he’s committed any wrongdoing. However, if he hasn’t, why has he taken such extreme measures not to allow their release -until now? Something very odd is going on - and it appears underhanded - explanations please.
He knows they have the votes to filibuster in the Senate.

Or they have successfully destroyed everything showing he knew all about what Epstein was doing.

Stop calling them ICE agents. They’re not actual law enforcement. They are thugs-for-hire recruited from the Proud Boys, J6ers, and others. They are violent predators given the freedom to run wild against the people they have demonized. Every one of them must be brought to justice when this is over.

Political party and net worth don’t matter—there should be no protecting ANY of the powerful and privileged from facing accountability for abuse and misbehavior.

There’s only one right answer on the Epstein Files: transparency for the public and justice for the victims.

When next week's vote on the Epstein files comes before congress, the American people deserve to know how each member of congress voted. This is not for political reasons. This is just to spotlight the morality and integrity of each member of congress as well as their support for the rule of law.
