Okay everyone, pay attention.

THIS IS WHAT A REAL CONSPIRACY LOOKS LIKE.

Everything we are seeing now indicates a coordinated coverup of the truth.

republicans care so much about children, they'll shut down the government to protect a pedophile.

[–] taco@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

Be fair...they wouldn't do it to protect any pedophile. Only their close friends and/or selves.

Herrderr see? Demoncrats hate kids, our side just loves them (too much)!

Trump on coronavirus: ‘If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any’

Mike Johnson on the Epstein Files: "If we block the vote, then we can't be accused of voting against releasing them, so it won't look like we're protecting pedophiles."

These dip-shits have a very strange idea of how reality works.

Well their voters re-elect them and the billionaires continue to support them so what is this reality you are talking about?

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Nah we're the stupid ones because they're going to get away with it while we seethe in anger because a majority of the country are stupid enough to fall for this

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can they do this for 3.5 more years?

[–] invertedspear@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago

They just need enough time to fabricate some evidence or lose some or come up with another lie, or another distraction. We’ll probably forget about the pedophilia when we get sucked in to WW3 and they reinstate the draft.

The Epstein files that Trump isn’t named in? that are a complete nothing-burger and also a democrat hoax? They shut the government down and curtail their own legislative agenda for that?

keep stalling you child-fucking scumbags, I'm sure a big brain idea will come about like jesus' return

We don't want that fake crap that is obviously true coming out.
