    You misunderstand. See, to MAGA and Republicans in general, if you are not a disgusting child rapist pedophile, you are not an American.

    …in the US"

    Loads of powerful people around the world have been arrested over the Epstein files.

    It’s just countries that are run by pedophiles that seem to have immunity

      Other way around. Our nation has always been less free than NK. We have more malnutrition, more citizens imprisoned, and at war with more nations. We set the bar. Kim wishes he had as much power as Trump does over his Americans. Most Americans go along with the lack of freedom because they have no idea what true freedom actually feels like.

        OF COURSE we would have more malnutrition, more citizens imprisoned, and have been at war with more nations. Your statistics are silly.

        1. USA has over 300 million people in it. North Korea has less than 10% of the population… so yeah, the US has more malnutrition and citizens imprisoned, and everything else, too. 10x more would be expected, at least.
        2. The USA has been around for 250 years, and North Korea has been around for less than 80 years. So, to be at war with more nations is also to be expected, USA has been around almost 4x longer. Also, WW1 and WW2 both happened before North Korea was a nation.

        So, even if you’re correct on data (malnutrition, imprisoned, wars), it’s meaningless and in no way indicative of “freedom”.

        This is the best you can come up with? Lame

        2 out of 3 of your points relies on data that we can only get from North Korea. So I have my doubts.

        The US is generally pretty open with statistics like those since each individual state needs to report both the number of prisoners and the number of people below the poverty line in order to get that sweet sweet federal money allocated.

        Also malnutrition? Kinda the opposite given rising obesity rates. In the food department the struggle is about accessing quality and stable nutrition. But in terms of calories people get enough

    Trump arresting Citizens over the Reflecting Pool while SHIELDING People who Raped Children with Jeffrey Epstein is how you KNOW Trump is doing EVERYTHING he can to BRING DOWN EPSTEIN!

    -Republicans but LITERALLY!

    Well the people being arrested clearly were cutting the pool lining because daddy Trump said they did it.

    Way more evidence than some pile of moldy Epstein papers, emails, address books, flight logs, victim testimonies, parent complaints, video evidence, photo evidence, self incriminating statements from named individuals, employee statements. Also having Ghislaine Maxwell in “custody”.

    They just haven’t identified any people in all that evidence that are not rich and powerful yet, but they’ll get to the bottom of it and find the real culprits who are not a part of the child rape club.

    Also you know, they think these people are pool terrorists. That’s enough.

    It’s not surprising, the US has the highest incarceration rate worldwide. Wealth grants access to legal representation. Mass incarceration disproportionately affects poorer people. Could incarceration be compared to slavery? Jail more poor people? Make America Great Again.

    Aren’t the Epstein Files released specifically because they are no longer part of any active cases? Why would we expect any arrests to come out of them…?

      They’re released because of the Epstein File Transparency Act. It requires their release regardless of whether there are any active cases.

              Oh he’s banned from a few instances. He made an instance solely for better control over who he insults.

              He also claims he doesn’t have any alts, while there’s communities he moderates with them.

              I don’t know if he’s stupid or thinks no one else can see through his words. I genuinely think he needs mental help.

                  Obtuse dipshit is good, yeah. “Defends Epstein and His Clients” is good too.

                  And just general bad faith. He’s a moron who thinks he’s the only smartest man in the room. Yet he hates trump, when they’re very similar people.

        That’s not what the act says. It only requires the release of unclassified documents. They’re only unclassified because they are no longer part of any active cases.

        What I’m saying is that those investigations already did stem. What was released to the public is the documents deemed no longer part of any investigations.
