The Epstein Problem

Pffft, like you read links anyone else puts up.
You calling anyone else an ignoramus is the funniest thing I’ll read all week.

Refusing to play make believe isn’t being ignorant.

It's really sad to check in on this board and see the truly ugly face of America, and Americans. So much hate, so much vitriol, so much bile, so much venom, all projected back onto your perceived enemies, other Americans.

A bunch of belligerent MAGAs, flinging their own sh*t, like their cult leader in the White House. It's really telling, what the microcosm of this board says about how far *some* Americans have fallen.

Thankfully, I know and interact with enough Christian, conservative Americans, who are decent and morally sound, and keep things civil, that I take what I see and read here with a grain of salt. True conservatives, Reagan conservatives, would be absolutely repulsed by the depravity of the MAGA cult, or whatever the hell this is, on this board. Enough said.

Now comes the part where you wail away, call me a libtard communist, a Hungarian, and tell me to go f*ck myself. Same old, same old.

Tibs,

My participation here has waned. The reason being that politics of this world are a garbage dump. Trump is arrogant and petty, but does some pretty impressive things. The dem leadership is over reactive and mis-focused, and not trustworthy. (There are more offenses on both sides, but I want to be brief here).

So, the question is "Can this all be discussed rationally?"

In a rational world, we could all agree that Trump needs to grow up and not be a middle school puke on social media, or in interviews.

In a rational world we.can agree that there is a lot of theft of public money, inconsistent application of justice and reporting, that swift justice for leadership crimes and wrongs must be dealt with harshly, that protection of the citizenry is a huge priority, that going into debt to leverage votes or kickbacks, or . . . . Is needing punishment, and this list goes on.

The sad part is that this rational world does not exist on this side of the grave. So, we are left with petty, ego driven, partial truths and suspicions, driven by loyalty to a political party, at the cost of reason, conversation, respect, integrity, etc.

So, there you have it. We can all continue down this road, or put on the brakes, and call others to rational conversation. You choose. I have chosen.

I'm glad you're still showing up here. Perhaps we can have more civil conversation again.

Wait, what???

Your initial position was to post an article that says Epstein victims are angry about names being redacted....

So I reply, there's nothing stopping them from naming their assailants.

And you respond with yet another link that says....(I can't, I really can't LOL ):

"Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein are not universally identifying their abusers due to a complex mix of fear, legal intimidation, the immense power of the individuals involved, and a lack of faith in the justice system. While some victims have come forward, many have faced threats and harassment, leading to a climate where speaking out is dangerous"

So your argument is that victims are both pissed off about their names being redacted but simultaneously argue why they wouldn't want their names revealed.

This takes the damned cake. I'll pay $200 a year for membership here for you to keep entertaining me. This is too damned good

Dipshit. We’re talking about the ABUSER’S names being redacted. You literally cannot follow along. You have the attention span of a toddler.

Yes there will be people caught in lies. And?

No, not at all. Just commenting on how far the conservative movement has fallen in America. None of you have the moral or mental fortitude to call out the depravity that is posted by a handful of extremists on this board. Obviously, it doesn't bother you, as they wear the same colors, you're on the same team. I get it. So dig in and embrace it. This is the GOP today, with Trump's face plastered all over it.

The spew.

Your TDS affliction feeds your delusions.
Since your return from your hiatus, the handful of bona fide extremists on this board has risen to 2.

Going by the growing number of blacks, women and younger persons in general that have woken to the evil, corrupt left, it gives the impression that the Conservative movement seems to be gaining in strength.
Even liberal extremists such as Bill Maher have begun to wake up.

Even liberal extremists such as Bill Maher have begun to wake up.

Maher is still a Liberal Democrat but he doesn't want his party to lose, that's why he's calling them out.

This MAGA movement is about as far away as you can get from Christian conservatism. That flew out the window ages ago. I miss the Republican Party, I miss sanity, I miss having a basic, common moral ground to stand on.

As if a liberal demonrat such as yourself that voted to remove God from its platform ever cared about Christianity, let alone morals.
And when the opportunity arises, from the other side of your mouth you will bash Christianity when it aligns with your agenda.

And spare us from how much you “miss the Republican Party”, patronizing. We can see right through you. You’re a fraud.
