The problem is not Trump alone. Trump, in all honesty, simply never could have fucked that much.
What more likely makes the task onerous is that the FBI was also given the directive "don't piss off anyone rich", so they have to run a credit check on every name that appears in the files.

So they've apparently had 1000 agents working through the 300GB of Epstein files, and they've managed to release under 1% of them, and those wholly or heavily redacted.
Trump must feature in them an awful lot for the task to be so onerous.

The horrible relationship between algorithms and knowledge has depths yet to be plumbed.
OUAT, I encountered videos of Professor Hans Rosling, who was making TED talks, fighting against global ignorance.

I eagerly await the bullshit-cancelling headphones.
As a product of the American education system, I never had an appreciation of poetry, mostly because it was forced upon me.
But this? This is the sort of thing I wish had been a part of that earlier epoch.

I've made a habit of reading my replies twice before hitting 'post'.
No matter how witty I thought I was being, this has led me to discarding no less than a dozen replies in the past 30 minutes.
Heap me with praise for my restraint.

This is a reminder that you are an idiot.
For the moment, I do not mean this unkindly. It is an opportunity to examine what you're doing and question if you really know what you think you know.
You are an idiot, and your actions have contributed to this shitstorm we're in.

It is not concerning for a 79 year old man to take a cognitive test to see if he still can function. It is VERY concerning for that 79 year old man to boast about acing that cognitive test like he just got a PhD in astrophysics.

I would not be surprised if someone is preparing a Trump doppelgänger via plastic surgery.
If going that far, they could probably convince Trump they plan on ‘transferring’ him to the copy using some old sci-fi prop electric chair.

This is a good meme for this; it might actually the most relatable form to get through to my dumbass ignorant union construction co-workers.
At least, they *might* think a little bit before scrolling down to the the conservative shitposts.
...
I'd estimate about half a second.
