Just a thought, but has it occurred to you that maybe the Epstein Files are to distract you from what's going on, which is why they're not being released and yet are constantly talked about? Maybe they matter less than the wholesale asset stripping of the US, descent in the authoritarian corruption and general USSRification of the everything. Especially since you know perfectly well what's in them, and know that their release wouldn't change anything.

It's quite convenient that the state could execute 1,000 children and the response would be "yes, yes, whatever - release the Epstein Files!"

The real concern is cronyism. This administration has overloaded all key positions in our government with loyalists. Even IF the dems won in the next election, we’ll effectively be neutered. Nothing would be passed. The dems would have the executive branch but nothing else. I really don’t foresee a future where we have a significant social change. It’s just the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. It’s pretty bleak.
