    It’s not just the government. There is a long list of billionaires in those documents. It would be a genuine eat the rich moment, and chunks of MAGA would help. It would collapse the whole system.

    And yes, it needs to happen.

    Is that pic fucking real!?!?! He actually put his hands around kids that young and looked at them with that face, next to Epstein?

    Holy Ravioli

      I’m convinced that Trump is a child rapist, but this picture isn’t the smoking gun. They’re in a NYC restaurant and the kids are his own, Ivanka and Eric maybe.

        Even if they weren’t, you can’t really glean anything reasonable from a candid photo like that. It’s a fool’s errand.

        Imagine if a photo was taken when a child was walking by someone and tripped, but the guy grabbed the kid’s arm and kept them from falling down. Timed right, a photo of that can be easily construed as the person forcefully dragging a child someplace.

        It’s absurdity. There’s plenty that’s much more worth everyone’s attention, re Donald Trump’s crimes, than interpreting candid photos.

          he’s been very open about how much he’d like to… do things… to Ivanka.

          Well that’s not how we do things. Evidence first. We don’t convict like fascists would.

            I’m being honest here, if I had the opportunity to convict and imprison the Tangerine TurdNugget I’d do it immediately, without a seconds thought. And with zero guilt afterwards.

            Hell, on the contrary, I’d feel absolutely elated about what I did every single day of the rest of my life. And I’m not even american.

              I mean… I agree, to some extent. But it’s much more satisfying to watch the convicted scum squirm in front of the presented evidence. Otherwise they can just yell, “Innocent!”

                Normally I would say the same, however, the americans who can get that to happen and the charges to stick are too cowardly to do it.
                And it seems that most of the us population is too lazy and/or complacent to actually do anything about him.
                Plus, let’s face it, he’ll just scream “witch-hunt”, “fake news” and “I’m innocent” even if there was irrefutable video evidence of every single crime he ever committed.

                So it’s about going to extremes and the extreme is to just jail the fucking cunt and be done with it.

      He had multiple rape cases filed against him and the one that i remember specifically was suddenly dropped right before the 2016 election.

      It is from a Zohran Mamdani, but not the NY State Assemblyman Zohran Kwame Mamdani (who is @zohrankmamdani on Twitter)

          It lost it’s meaning before that.

          It started as “we have confirmed you are who you say you are, public figure”, and that was it.

          The some Twitter features were pegged to it.

          Then it spread.

          Then it also somehow became a “Twitter approves of this message” flag, as some people were stripped of their check for posting offensive things (probably most notoriously Milo).

          Then Twitter staff started expediting the process in exchange for essentially bribes.

          Then Elon buys Twitter.

          Then it just became a subscription service, with enhanced features over non-check users.
