In comparison to the general level of outrage I am seeing across the M$M, social media platforms, and even here on DU -- it's like tRump was caught jaywalking across Pennsylvania Avenue or something.
Call me old fashioned, but I remember the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal and the Thomas/Hill scandals that dominated the front pages of the M$M for weeks at a time. It was the leading story on every newscast. The Christian Right was writhing in agony over the sins of Bill Clinton non-stop for weeks, months, and years following it. It was all FOX news could talk about.
These allegations are so, so, so, SO much more heinous and serious, and it seems like nary a peep is being said. Is pedophilia, rape, sex trafficking, murder, cannibalism OK now??? When did I miss that this was the new "norm"???
WHAT. THE. FUCK???

To use a popular line here - what can go so?

(13,310 posts)We are learning about some of the big law firms that capitulated to Trump and provide free legal service, such as Paul Weiss, whose chairman Brad Karp is in the files and it is not good.
edit:
It is as if Trump received kompromat information from Putin or he was a partner of Epstein and knew about them all.

Quite a few, I would imagine....

(80 posts)I guess all that family values bullshit was exactly that, bullshit. Trump embodies every one of the seven deadly sins and they still voted for him. If Trump announced tomorrow that he is the antichrist he wouldn't lose a single one of his flock.

Both are wrong, it is true and its not just the past he has never stopped doing crimes since he was a child in school.

(20,449 posts)It will be a very long time before we recover from this abomination of a human being. All the Epstein files need to be made public. It's going to get much worse before it gets better. Be prepared to be horrified. Also, for what it's worth, I don't think Epstein committed suicide.

(1,166 posts)The events are all 20+ years old. Plenty of juicy emails but no real evidence of anything. Just embarrassing messages thus far. Trump has proven that hell sue if he perceives slander, so the news stations are keeping things at arms length. Hopefully better documented and pictured crimes are coming.

(23,574 posts)Corporate McPravda long ago bent the knee to the NAZI GOP. Were past Year 10 of the Trump Shit Show 24/7 without accountability.
Thank Al Gore for the Internet, as we a share all this stuff, redacted now unredacted later, with the abusers faces and names intact, with the victims protected, and all 6.5 and growing million Epstein documents showing the evil gangster bastards for the murderous traitors they are.
