- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

The problem with the Epstein stuff is that it is, ultimately, all inside baseball. Maybe your podcast of choice has been screaming "Give Us The List!" for years, but it's still just entertainment for an audience.
Materially, none of this matters to the bulk of the population. It isn't that people are buying it. They just have bigger issues in their lives than knowing which celebrities are kiddie diddlers.
It isn't as though even knowing will alter the frequency of child sexual assault in this country. Meanwhile, we've got ICE agents snatching up tens of thousands of migrants and shoving them into black sites. And you know that's becoming an All You Can Rape Buffet.
Johnson can say what he wants. He can sexually assault who he wants. Wouldn't even be the first pedophile Speaker of the House in the news.
The gossip is just gossip. None of it shapes the behaviors of anyone in or near a position of authority.
