The House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released a trove of evidence regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation, against President Donald Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the Department of Justice. The 50-page report, released Monday, contains testimony from 11 women who either accuse Trump of…

    Donald was mentioned in the files more times than Jesus was mentioned in the Bible. Yeah, I’m not surprised that they managed to find testimony from 11 different women.

      That’s one thing, second things is that his name was 3rd most mentioned name in the released files after Maxwell and of course Epstein.

      He clearly wasn’t just a customer but part of the conspiracy. His whole modeling business was likely providing young girls to be exploited.

        The fbi had it titled the trump-epstein trafficking case at least twice in the files before the big wave of redaction post release.

      Trump is mentioned in the (released) Epstein files more times than Harry Potter was mentioned in all seven Harry Potter books.

    Time for a round of political ads to counter all those “<Dem candidate> wants TRANS in your kids locker room!” ads. “<Rep candidate> wants to protect your kids but they support Donald Trump who has at least 11 sexual assaults related to Jeffrey Epstein?”

    Dems have had access to this information before, and have it on others too and they haven’t brought charges when in power, so the powers that be can use the blackmail to keep people in line. Both sides not the same, but need to be best!


    Children were abused,

    The perps get away with it,

    Who’s really in charge?

      No, that’s pretty much bullshit. The Biden administration cooperated with Ron Wyden’s financial investigations into Epstein and his co-conspirators like billionaire Leon Black, and they also did not have the same access to the Epstein files that was granted after the Epstein Files Transparency Act was passed under the current regime. Ron Wyden’s investigation was aided by the Biden DOJ, and in January 2025 the Trump DOJ revoked all access to Wyden to impede his ongoing investigation.

    Holiday season coming up. Remember to let your traitorous family members know they willingly supported a felon rapist pedophile just to piss off half of their fellow Americans because they can’t peel their dipshit eyes off of propaganda networks.

    Never let them live this down. Or at least not for as long as we’ll all be paying for their stupid fucking decisions.

    Shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

    Someone who was listed over thirty thousand times in the trumpstein files-- I mean the Epstein files-- and who was proven in court to be a rapist, raped more than just one person??? Shocked…

    These people need justice.

        This is not the time for finger pointing or litigation. Thoughts and prayers are what the victims need. They are clearly confused by their trauma.

      We joke but the timing on this couldn’t be worse. It read more like the dems firing a warning shot.

      “This is happening wether you like it or not. Anyone who survives these midterms will fall in line.”

      They said that about the impeachment, they said that about the stolen government documents, they said that about a million things he’s done

      But everyone forgets, the GOP believe in “the rules are for thee, not for me”, so he will get away with it

    I would be surprised if anyone was on the fence about Trump’s sex crimes.

    You either have people who realize that he looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and are willing to treat him like a duck…

    …or you have people for whom no amount of evidence could ever convince them.

      He bragged about grabbing women which is assault, and we know he did worse than that, but lots of guys think they should be able to do what they want and brag about it, they’re abusers and worse. It’s part of their old boys’ club and hide crimes of each other, frats, sports, military, supernatural groups, all hide crimes of sex and others.

        A lot of people are attracted to trustworthy positions of power because of the opportunity to commit crime and the low odds of being caught and prosecuted.

        Wouldn’t it be some shit if atheists who were good moral people also had to burn forever with Trump by their side. The injustice of that is too much to even consider…

        There cannot be a hell.

          Or, if there was, it might be that idiot monsters that think “just accept Jesus into your heart” is the path to a heaven, and they got it all wrong.

          Wouldn’t that be quite the irony for those people - thinking that their complete immorality, papered over with a “I’m not perfect, I’m just forgiven” platitude - to find out that it was not sufficient?

          Meanwhile, finding out that atheists, pagans, Muslims, and so on that led good lives went to heaven instead?

            It says right in the New Testament that faith without works is death, and repentance requires change in behavior.

      That’s what he wants to do, is change the narrative. Super intelligence vs artificial intelligence. One is smarter than anything else and you’re to accept that. The other is fake news.

      I read it as either 11 more, or more evidence for 11 that are already known about.

      At least the victims haven’t given up in the face of a game that is rigged against them.
