When we find out all the shit that's happening in the kids camp it's gonna rock people to their core. Done in your name with your tax money by your reps in Congress. Remember who this administration is and who this party is. The Epstein Class. And Dems know it! They bring up Epstein all the time. So
People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.
