The White House and Republican leadership have resorted to threats and intimidation to stop members of their own Party from voting to force the release of the Epstein files. Unfortunately for Trump, the truth is quickly catching up with him, and he may soon not be able to contain. In this video we’ll talk about the desperate lengths Trump is going to in order to hide the truth about Epstein (and his associates) from the public.

Threatened by what? Imprisonment for crimes committed? Does anyone see a downside with that?

Though shit. If you've got nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

These people can't hurt you if you arrest them for their crimes and freeze their assets.

You broke your links while posting here

So document it. Gather witnesses. Record phone calls. And once you've got proof release it publicly. Hold a presser. Play the recordings. Show the emails.

Prove what you claim. Openly. Where it cannot be disputed.

Jesus that was a clusterfuck to watch. He could not more obviously have been just riffing, making shit up.

There aren't any Luigi Mangiones in the halls of Congress, man.

And wait to accidentally fall out a fifth story window after someone takes a page out of Putin's book.

If I've learned anything in this life, it's that everything can be disputed. And I believe that more and more people are willing to buy into it

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 34 points 20 hours ago

Seriously, take the people threatening you, and use the laws against them. String all of these fuckers up at this point. Treasonous traitors all.

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 18 points 18 hours ago

I guess that's what 10 years of uncritically supporting a fascist narcissist gets you, Republicans. Womp-womp.

If any of you were decent people I might feel bad. Now we're all going to be fucked first for the fact that you propped him up in the first place, and now for the fact that you still can't grow a spine and accept whatever you've been threatened with as the cost of doing the right thing.

There were three Republican leaders who stood up to trump. You all tarred and feathered them. (Which they likely deserved, but not for that.)

[–] YogaDouchebag@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago

Don’t they have guns to defend themselves? Also thoughts and prayers should be powerful enough.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

And trump has his tiny hands all up in them.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 7 points 16 hours ago

threatened

Why, would releasing the files harm you?

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Do it pussies, he can't do anything if he's buried

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Only a 'threat' if they're defending someone in it
