Oh My God -- These New Epstein Files Are Horrifying (Paul For Equality)


The newly released Epstein files are some of the most morally repugnant, disturbing testimony ever made public.

What they describe is not “politics.”
It’s systemic abuse, trafficking, threats, and dehumanization of underage girls carried out by powerful, wealthy men who believed they were untouchable.

Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and an entire ecosystem of rich donors and political protectors are implicated — not by rumor, but by sworn testimony.

Trump would burn this country to the ground before allowing full accountability.
And the Republican Party has every incentive to help him — because donor money, power, and proximity to these crimes matter more to them than justice.

This isn’t left vs right.
This is power vs humanity.

The women and girls named in these files deserve justice.
Silence protects predators. Exposure is the only path forward.

Is anyone feeling any safer the longer these depraved monsters are still roaming free?

covered them is encouraging, in that it's not tongue in cheek, but actual outrage. But hea... as long as it's just "us" it doesn't mean much. We can be as outraged as possible, but what power do we have to affect actual change and accountability? Especially when trump is spending just about every available moment coming up with new ways to steal elections... or downright cancel them?

I've tried to read some of these, but I'll admit they're hard to follow with my 70 year old brain these days. Not only that, but the ones I've read have been so horrendous in what they detail, it's soul crushing. But the more redactions they added make it even harder to read. What I see that would be advantageous, is if someone were to summarize all these files without leaving out the details... but break through the redactions such that it's easier to read and understand. I say that, thinking, what is there to understand? Huge right wing evil white christian men raped, beat up, and killed girls and young women (and perhaps even some boys) for nothing more than momentary pleasure. If that's not sheer,unadulterated evil, I don't know what is.

For the 20 something youngsters (male) to witness this is beyond the pale ,there has to be humiliating public punishment like the Lincoln assassination or Nuremberg Gallows.

Maybe castration, after a fair public trial 20 at a time .

He could be impeached in 2 weeks just as fast as we went to war except his jury might have so many congressmen involved with the trump/ Epstein rape club they can't make a quorum.

Epstein accountability for him? More GOPrs may have room to take him down via exposure.

Yet Republican congressmen still support, will not impeach him. How low our country has sunk. And the idiotic "religious" nuts who think he is doing gods will are truly deplorable. In my mind, they are literally worshipping satan.

some years ago, like little Mike J.... boasting all over everywhere about dirty money being handed out willy nilly on the House floor. Gatz... a virtual nobody... boasting from the floor about how he "partied" the night before. And who was the paraplegic who posted videos of himself engaging in the evil? I can't even remember his name. He gets lost in the milieu of evil.

I absolutely agree with you that they are worshipping Satan. Thing is, I think every single one of them know that as well... and it not only doesn't make any difference, they're willing to make any "crossroads deal" to get more. I think the christianist's "rapture" happened sometime ago and they just didn't notice because they all got left behind. We are now in the world of the Reign of Satan, thanks to them. And they're enjoying every wicked moment of it.

the little blacked out words in the “files`’ just carefully released (drip…drip…) are exposed. How can a prosecution proceed without a victim and a perpetrator? Horrific, yes, but just more expressions of outrage, sound, and fury bemoaning a lack of concrete action.

You're right about the little blacked out words, but I'm pretty sure those words will stay blacked out until he's no longer potus. "His" DOJ takes orders from him, and no one else, and will continue to do so as long as he's in charge. If Bondi was to leave or get fired, he'd just appoint another sycophant who would continue shielding him the way she's doing now.

This is power vs humanity. Nailed it.

I agree, remove the redactions, and let justice serve these ruthless people.
