“Democrats are afraid of what they’ll find in the Epstein Files. They don’t want full accountability.”
I will burn the Democratic Party to the ground and piss on the ashes if I find out our leaders were involved in a massive child sex trafficking operation. Every Democrat I know feels the same.

There needs to be some serious accountability for the colossal harm to life these absolute demons have caused, and will cause. Life in prison is the moderate option.
