Look, I understand the concern.

But these guys are actually a death cult. Just like Nazis were. Maybe we should, you know, point out that the rapists are murderers too.

Yeah, and that starts with holding them to account, there doesn’t work if

So stop defending President pedophile

The fuck you on about? Its not just a distraction from the Epstein Files.

They are trying to cause mass death. This isn't something I'm pulling out of thin air. They are child rapists AND they are genocidal maniacs. Two things CAN be true.

If anyone is defending them you are by saying that we should only focus on child abuse.

Picture needs more germs.

At this point I don't think the files would change anything. Everyone already suspects they are rapists and their followers have proven time and time again that they are willing to turn a blind eye to any and all deplorable behavior.

When Hitler invaded Poland you'd be the annoying guy saying "it's a distraction from the Beer Hall Putsch"! And you'd be doing it again when the concentration camps were discovered. Horrible people do lots of horrible things.

Nobody is saying we should forget the Epstein files or not hold Trump accountable. But for the love of God stop saying the other horrible things are a distraction. It's so stupid - at least rephrase it as "don't forget about Epstein" or something less dumb.

When you find yourself LITERALLY HITLERSPLAINING why President Rapist Pedophile ISN’T the problem we should be focusing on…

Well, I think it’s safe to say that you’ve lost the plot

WOW

Edit: and I blame you a lot less than I blame what the fuck is going on today

What the absolute motherfuck

Edit 2: you know, I don’t think that you and I actually disagree, it’s just that we’re both so much in shock about what’s going on, that we’re both trying to find our way in the dark

And if that’s the case? Well then best of luck to you buddy. Because our journey down this long dark road as far from over.

You're fucking joking? If that was your takeaway you're definitely reading things through "rawwr I'm angry!" glasses. It neither what I meant nor what I actually said.

You're fucking joking?

Holy shit, this is what we have to work with?

Might as well just nuke us right now
