Turns out ‘unredacting the Epstein files’ = 25 lines of code + PDF → Word. Not complicated.

Forget even prosecuted. The party will NOT defund ICE. And most of their voters will be fine with this if they return to power. I don't think this is defeatist in the least. To me, it's reality. You would expect to see something different right now if they were going to act differently in power.
We shouldn’t be doomer defeatists about these things, but we also shouldn’t go in ignorant. These ICE thugs tearing families apart are more likely to remain in their jobs than be prosecuted based on everything we know about the Democratic Party.

being a rich tech guy in the 90s must have been so sick. every morning you start a web page that sells ring tones, sell it at lunch for 2 million dollars, get dinner at a “sushi” restaurant and go to a night club wearing a cologne called Apartheid Sapphire

It's the defendant who wanted to hold a press conference days before the 2016 election but was threatened with death threats to the point that she became so terrified, she stopped the press conference and eventually the suit.

The court document below is NOT new. I reprinted it in my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT when discussing Trump's history with Epstein. Others also covered it. It was publicly available. Garland of course knew too and protected Trump. And Dems protected and defended Garland. Why pretend otherwise?
Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS,

and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

Inclined to agree. I find myself shocked when people send me drafts without citations. Just vibes-based claims that have yet to cohere as an argument.
Fair amount of overlap between the people who like to say <citation needed> and the people who let LLMs hallucinate citations for them

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Everyone in the federal government and the media only has one job and it's frantically running around and trying to hide evidence of the president's many crimes. They are so tired and all they want is for him to at least pause the crimes for a minute but he keeps on doing new ones
