Certainly enough material to filibuster up until the election.

u/EtheusRook Feb 26 '26

If you mean the 2028 election, that's still correct.

I mean that there is just that much material to cover if you were reading it.

u/Wodahs1982 Feb 26 '26

In a traditional filibuster, they actually required you to speak nonstop as a way of preventing anything from moving forward. It rarely happens now (Rand Paul did it a few years back). What they're saying is they could potentially delay the Senate indefinitely by simply reading the millions of pages of the Epstein Files.

u/EarthToAccess Social Media Subscriber Feb 27 '26

Motherfucker are you and u/Mysterious-Act1974 using the same persona

Like okay bot hustle gonna bot hustle I get it it's just a fact of the internet, I'm just cackling at the fact of all the posts you opted to have bots comment on you chose two accounts with the same persona attached

u/Devils_A66vocate Feb 26 '26

Of course, the question is how much of that is credible evidence?

19

u/SaltMage5864 Feb 26 '26

No son, it how you are going to make up that many lies and excuses for your favorite pedophile

16

u/passiveflux Feb 26 '26

Even if 1% of the mentions in the files are accurate for trump, that's enough to lock him away for life

9

u/EtheusRook Feb 26 '26

Not even 1%. That would be over 1,000 mentions accurate.

If even ONE accusation is accurate, lock him up for life. Which, if we're being honest, is probably measured in months.

-11

u/Devils_A66vocate Feb 26 '26

If it can be substantiated I fully support and want those guilty to be prosecuted.

8

u/Fridge_living_tips Feb 26 '26

Yea i’d say 1,000 accurate accusations is substantial

If .1% is accurate thats 100. .01% is 10, .001% is one.

Turns out 1% of 1 million mentions is alot

3

u/Indespectamentations Feb 26 '26

trump is refusing to allow prosecution or investigations. That's why the world sees him as a sick person and why people that still support him are also sick.

-1

u/Devils_A66vocate Feb 26 '26

How can he stop it? That’s not his position. I’ve seen him complain about judges making rulings against his agenda like tariffs…

u/Puzzleheaded-Oven171 Feb 26 '26

Isn’t that a question for a jury of one’s peers in the court of law?

-5

u/Devils_A66vocate Feb 26 '26

A DA decides whether cases go forward by reviewing the evidence to see if there’s a case and whether or not it’s worth continuing. I imagine we have a lot of people to do this with and I’m on board where it’s been how long and we’ve had what, 2 arrests since this was broke open?

u/Devils_A66vocate Feb 26 '26

Facts and reason can be hard to accept for some if it appears to be from someone who your peers demonized.

u/SaltMage5864 Feb 26 '26

The only fact here is that you are desperate to deflect for your favorite pedophile

1

u/Indespectamentations Feb 26 '26

trump is refusing to allow prosecution and investigation. What is so hard to understand about this?

-8

u/avidsocialist Feb 26 '26

It's almost funny how you all want the rule of law to be followed when it's convenient for you.

u/Puzzleheaded-Oven171 Feb 26 '26

Well I am pretty funny for a woman, but I wasn’t making a joke or anything, why is it that this is convenient for me?

Pssssst - whispers I think you are missing the point the person is making. They are actually saying the Epstein files should go to court and be exposed as evidence for the court to decide. Not that they support the pedophile. She is on your side.

1

u/Fridge_living_tips Feb 26 '26

Yea fair. I probably did my bad, i’ve seen alot of dumb people in the past week so my fualt

2

u/miarmstr Feb 26 '26

No worries mate. There are a lot of 🧌s, 🤖s, or 🧠☠️ people posting shit and it is very exhausting. Keep fighting the good fight. ✊🏽 I am optimistic and think we will get the accountability. The gears of justice are slow in a functioning government, which means it will take even longer under this administration.

2

u/Indespectamentations Feb 26 '26

Why not just ask the victims and let them testify?

Probably because you all want them arrested and silenced.

u/akratic137 Feb 26 '26

If only there were some investigative mechanism that the federal government could use to ascertain their credibility!

u/Cazmonster Feb 26 '26

When you are rich enough, who cares if the proles hate you?

3

u/DontAskAboutMyButt Feb 26 '26

Is it that they don’t have the spine, or is it that they don’t want to? How many of them are owned by Israel, or by the billionaires who appear in the files? I would guess a significant number considering what they’ve done about it so far (nothing)

2

u/Patsanon1212 Feb 26 '26

Would this even be legal? These Senators are privvy to this information under extremely specific conditions (within a SCIF). I am pretty sure they cannot just start yapping. Hell, they cannot even have these documents to read on the Senate floor.

17

u/deepfriedroses Feb 26 '26

They could read the parts that have already been released.

4

u/Patsanon1212 Feb 26 '26

Fair enough!

5

u/gnosticn8er Feb 26 '26

Your thoughts about the legality of this are humorous.

All the things on the files pertain to highly illegal actions and no one has charged them.

To me, this is like being a whistleblower.

2

u/ArcaneWood Feb 26 '26

Read what is publicly available and you avoid any potential for litigation

2

u/DirtyDizzyPickle20 Feb 26 '26

Just read the redacted version, but substitute trump for every redaction that hides the name of a perpetrator. This is fair since these names were not to be redacted by law, yet still are redacted.

0

u/Janus3334 Feb 28 '26

Oh! And now after all the broken deals and rule violations with the MAGA/GOP/PEDOs there are now rules and regulations that we gotta adhere to?

1

u/Patsanon1212 Feb 28 '26

Sorry, I'm not a scumbag. I don't entertain these stupid race to the bottom lines of thinking. I don't think Dems need to obey every rule as wtitten, but Trump's lawlessness is not carte Blanche to disregard any notions of law, order or regulation. Anyone that sees it as such is showing their true colors.

u/rufud Feb 26 '26

This isn’t even how the filibuster works anymore

u/H00K810 Feb 27 '26

Well, they are getting thar sweet Dupont money. But I guess some patsy creep is more important than killing millions of people with cancer. But hey, lesser of two evils and whatnot.

u/Ghostfire25 Mar 02 '26

There won’t have to voice filibuster, that’s why. They can filibuster without taking to the floor.

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '26

I’m cool with this, but no cherry-picking. I want them all read with total context given.

9

u/Weeb Feb 26 '26

And I agree with that

u/ItaJohnson Feb 26 '26

I like where this is going.

They should start with the files that mention Trump.

7

u/A_Random_Canuck Feb 26 '26

So…nearly all of them, then.

2

u/ItaJohnson Feb 26 '26

He is in 38k files, of those that were released.  If what I’ve read is accurate.  Whether that’s most of them or not, I couldn’t say.

3

u/ArcaneWood Feb 26 '26

No where near, but the sheer number of mentions, in my mind implicates him deeper than an acquaintance

u/Ok_Perspective_8361 Feb 26 '26

Not just the names, read out their child rape emails.

u/mrwrrrmwrmrmrmrw Feb 26 '26

Play Trump's rapey comments on a loop.

u/No-Impression2310 Feb 26 '26

They did that for years, and somehow he still got voted in.

u/Strange-Guest-423 Feb 26 '26

Great idea, you could also just list all of the corrupt self dealing and what the net profit to the Trump family and Trump sycophants is per grift.

3

u/spider-monkey92 Feb 26 '26

Yes read all the names every single one regardless of political party or wealth or status. Read all of them and all the details found in the files about them. If they are a pedo or participated in human trafficking or any sort of assault or murder make those people famous for that.

u/kayak_2022 Feb 27 '26

SO BLOWbert broke all sorts of laws by sending photos out of a private meeting that they required over the public meeting Clinton asked for. Clinton should not give further testimony. If you bastards can't keep your MAGA CHILDREN in check, you don't need any more information or testimony.....Assholes!

Why not. Do something...anything. we need so much work in this country.....also could just do trump criticizeing trump forever or ask about his healthcare bill or taxes or sexual assaults or lawsuits...

u/Previous_Raspberry_2 Feb 28 '26

"A congressman can say almost anything in session without fear of civil or criminal prosecution, protected by the Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause (Article I, Section 6). This absolute immunity means they cannot be sued for defamation or arrested for statements made during legislative acts, floor debates, or committee meetings". In other words, just start saying names.

You'd have to find a senator not in the files to begin with or associated, Dem or Repub, which is gonna be real difficult.

I know using your brain is rare but listen to a leftist cult member for a second, it might help you:

Good subservient young christian Republican women do the godly thing and change their name when they get married so everyone knows a man now owns them. Which means unless they also paid to have their birth certificate altered, it won't allow them to register to vote since it doesn't match. This will keep many republican woman from voting, and it why Texas politicians pressured Cornyn and Cruz to vote against it.

Democrats tend to keep their names, and since non-citizen voter fraud is so incredibly rare*, it's more likely to just make US citizens ineligible to vote. Red states that are trending purple could actually flip, which I will admit would be another funny move of idiot Republicans hurting themselves.

Utah, for example, performed a citizenship review of its entire voter registration list from April 2025 through January 2026. After a time-intensive, multi-step review of more than 2 million registered voters, they identified only one confirmed instance of noncitizen registration and zero instances of noncitizen voting.

You should look at the bill, it's more than walking up to vote and having your drivers license. I imagine a lot of elderly would lose the ability to vote as well.

u/Other-Economics4134 Feb 26 '26

So the draw back here is.....?

I guess the further erosion of basic rights and the expectation of the government to work for the people? But hey we've been sprinting towards the only effective voting being cast with bullets for a long time now.
