Hanlon's razor has served me well over the years.

stupid is evil’s best disguise.

and these ppl r as evil as they come.

That's how I've always heard it called.

Occam's razor is usually quoted as:

"The simplest explanation, or the one with the fewest assumptions, is usually the best"

And is used widely in many fields ... at least initially before more evidence is collected.

Hanlon's Razor was "inspired by Occam's razor" but is more specific to guessing evil intent or stupidity. Evil and stupid are both "one" explanation so it's hard to apply Occam's razor to pick between them!

although is is easily seen that one is derivative - and perhaps more of a witticism ?

Our main problem now is with Democrats who either
won't fight back properly or those who don't know how.

Evil is as evil does.

Cirsium's Toothbrush.

LIHOP?

regarding the perpetrators names, right?

The more that I realize that evil and stupidity often the same thing.

The evil tend to be stupid and the stupid don’t mind being evil.

Actual job duties to look for "trump" citations in the records and fluff up this sad little criminal.

Fear is one of the main tools of this administration.
They may be stupid about some things, but someone had to actually decide to redact the names of those who raped these girls, while retaining the names of the girls, and even nude photos of them.
It was both a punishment for daring to demand justice, and a warning to others who were abused by Epstein and his clients not to step forward.

And a lot more people are going to be hurt before this is over.

They redacted names of the pedophiles, rapists and possibly murderers but they left the names of the victims.

intimidation.

No doubt about it.
None whatsoever.

What words can we add to this brutality.

They made everyone wait for 1 1/2 months to release the files, BECAUSE, they were redacting the victims information.

This regime is the devil!

it continued years after. Some went into hiding and changed or disguised their identities. It is terrifying to think of the depths of resources for fear and intimidation available to this entire cabal of criminal elites. Trump has always operated as a mob boss with legions of thugs and goons. I was thinking about Stormy Daniels telling about why she accepted the pay off because of the thug who came up to her when she was getting her child out of her car seat. He said something to the effect of, “Beautiful little girl you have there. Be a shame if something happened to her.” Trump gets pleasure from the cruelty and violence. I am amazed at the courage of the survivors who continue to fight for justice and sickened by how exponentially wrongful they have been treated.
