The incomplete dump of Jeffrey Epstein files by the justice department did not comply with the court order to release ALL the files. Interestingly, most of the men in the photographs had black squares covering their faces... well, except for Bill Clinton. His face is not blacked out, violating the court order preventing disclosure of files in ongoing investigations. Attorney General Pam Bondi has assigned U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton (Southern District of New York) to lead a probe into Bill Clinton's connections with Jeffrey Epstein.

But here's the thing: democrats don't care if Bill Clinton is indicted. If he was sexually involved with underage girls, take him down along with all the other child rapists.

Besides, the idea that the justice department has been dragging its feet on releasing ALL the files in order to protect Bill Clinton is laughably absurd.

Tina Davis, who worked with Ford Models in the mid-1990s, said in an interview that her Ford booker instructed her to get dressed up and attend a Mar-a-Lago party in late 1994. Just 14 and new to Miami, she was told to “dress sexy,” according to her mother, Sandra Coleman, who had accompanied her to Florida. Eight or nine other models came along on the bus. “All the girls were really young,” Ms. Coleman recalled in an interview. “Some of them could have been in training bras.”

When they arrived at Mar-a-Lago, Ms. Coleman said, her daughter was promptly handed a glass of champagne. She took it away, but waiters kept offering more. Each time one of the middle-aged men at the party approached her daughter, Ms. Coleman would walk over and introduce herself as Ms. Davis’s mother.

During a trip to the bathroom, they ran into Mr. Trump’s new wife, whom they had met earlier. Ms. Maples clasped her hands, Ms. Coleman recalled, and looked her in the eye. “Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband,” she told Ms. Coleman. “Protect her.”



Funny, isn't it, as Trumpedo hangs banners with his face and name all over Washington D.C., and has his name upstage JFK on the Kennedy Center building, the only place that Donald J. Trump has ever taken his name off of is the Epstein files.

Absolutely. If he's guilty, take him down. For some odd reason, Reps don't seem to think that way. They deny and cover-up the misdeeds of someone with an "R" after their name, no matter how heinous. I won't speculate as to why they do that, but they seem to. A lot. Odd for the party of "law and order".

Has Mrs. Coleman been charged with taking a minor across state lines to facilitate improper relations between a minorand an adult?

If not--why not?

Sounds like she's admitted to doing just that.

Of course you don’t care, You didn’t care when Bill Clinton was caught red handed fornicating
in the Oval Office while serving as President, why would you care now? (Get a damn room)

Your TDS is driving you mad, praying, wishing a picture will show up, and then what?
Bill Clinton refused to resigned, why would President Trump resign over a picture that may
suddenly pops up insinuating he did something wrong, without actual proof.
It’s what you’ve been doing all along with your prior posts, blacked out faces
that led to be phony baloney pictures....and now, he said she said words supposedly
spoken over twenty years ago. 🙄

...the only place that Donald J. Trump has ever taken his name off of is the Epstein files.


Like I said:

"Do you really think incriminating evidence about Trump will ever see the light of day? Not likely. The fix is in."

The most corrupt DOJ working for the most corrupt POTUS in our history. And you expect truth and transparency?

They deny and cover-up the misdeeds of someone with an "R" after their name, no matter how heinous.

It is all part of the right wing authoritarian mindset.

They are always right...in their rigid little minds.

See how this fits the MAGA crowd:

In psychological research, the right-wing authoritarian (RWA) mindset is defined by a specific cluster of social attitudes and personality traits rather than just political affiliation. First conceptualized by Theodor Adorno and later refined by Bob Altemeyer, this mindset is characterized by a strong preference for social order, tradition, and established authority. 
The RWA mindset is built upon three primary pillars: 

1. Authoritarian Submission
Individuals with this mindset exhibit high levels of obedience to authorities they perceive as established and legitimate. 
• Trust in Leaders: They often accept the words of their chosen leaders as absolute truth and may dismiss evidence of dishonesty or incompetence as inconsequential or false.
• Moral Duty: Respecting and following authority is viewed as a critical moral virtue that everyone should uphold.
• Conditional Loyalty: Their submissiveness is highly selective; they may be extremely rebellious toward authority figures they deem illegitimate. 

2. Authoritarian Aggression
This refers to a predisposition toward hostility or punitive actions against those targeted by established authorities. 
• Sanctioned Hostility: Aggression is typically directed at "deviants," out-groups, or anyone perceived to threaten social cohesion.
• Preference for Punishment: They often favor harsher punishments, such as the death penalty or strict mandatory sentencing, for those who violate social norms.
• Fear as a Driver: This aggression is frequently fueled by a "dangerous worldview" where the world is seen as a threatening place requiring strong control to maintain safety. 

3. Conventionalism
A rigid adherence to the social norms and traditional values endorsed by the person's in-group. 
• Aversion to Difference: They often feel discomfort or irritation toward cultural diversity and unconventional lifestyles.
• Moral Imperative: Conforming to group norms is seen not just as a preference but as a moral requirement for all members of society. 

Cognitive and Personality Characteristics
Beyond these three pillars, research identifies several cognitive patterns common to the RWA mindset: 
• Black-and-White Thinking: A tendency to see issues in simplistic, absolute terms (right vs. wrong, friend vs. foe) with little tolerance for nuance or ambiguity.
• Dogmatism: Stubbornly holding onto beliefs even when presented with contradictory evidence.
• Compartmentalized Thinking: The ability to hold contradictory beliefs simultaneously without recognizing the inconsistency.
• Low Openness to Experience: A psychological trait linked to a preference for familiarity over new ideas and structured environments over complex ones.
• Sensitivity to Disgust: Research suggests a higher sensitivity to physical and moral disgust, which can influence attitudes toward "unconventional" groups or behaviors.

Dems cared about protecting Clinton and attacking his FEMALE ACCUSERS....only when Clinton was in office and politically valuable le.

And YOU protected Hillary for doing a lot of that.


So all this means is - you people used Bill Clinton, and you and he together used the women.


Liberals are rapists and racists as much as they say Trump is.

You people have used and bused and trapped more women and minorities than the KKK ever did.

And I hope those groups come for you people.

Slowly, I see it happening.

Good.

A "strong preference for social order, tradition, and established authority" by the vast majority of the population is necessary for a functioning society.

It is called being "normal."

Isn't it the Left who keeps whining that Trump repeatedly violates various social and political "norms"? [Without of course adequately defining what the "norms" are, but in this context that's not really the point I'm trying to make.]

Why do you Lefties keep whining about Trump supposedly violating all kinds of "norms," yet then simultaneously attempt to argue that having a "strong preference for social order, tradition, and established authority" is a BAD THING? And data mining for some pseudo-scientific "psychology" from a dead German musicologist and a dead Canadian left wing academic to support your self-contradictory world view?

Now would you please at least STFU about Trump violating "norms."

"Norms" are a bad thing, you just said so, it makes you a Right Wing Authoritarian.

Do you realize how chaotically irrational you are?

No, of course not.

LurkerMom: You didn’t care when Bill Clinton was caught red handed fornicating

Even the densest cultists should be able to understand this: former president Clinton's sexual relationship with the 22-year-old Monica Lewinsky was an abuse of power and an immoral lapse of judgment, one that led to his impeachment. But we're not wearing Bill Clinton hats or getting Bill Clinton Tattoos or waving Bill Clinton flags.

If there's evidence that establishes that Bill Clinton fcuked a kid, send his ass to prison.

Donald Trump knew that Jeffrey Epstein was fcuking little girls and he was fine with it. These weren't women. So we want to see the unredacted files -- one of the files is one hundred pages long, all redacted -- because there's no way on God's green Earth that Trumpedo would be keeping these files from public view if they exonerated him.

And there's no way on God's green Earth that Trumpedo would have transferred Maxwell to a cushy Club Fed if she didn't have the dir on Trumpedo.

This isn't difficult.

You're protecting pedos.

P.S. And before anyone tries to "ongoing investigation" these redactions, that ain't gonna' fly. The department of justice shit-canned that defense when it released documents and images involving Bill Clinton while he is under investigation - an investigation AG Pam Bondi ordered herself. You can’t invoke an open probe to justify redactions after disclosing information related to that investigation. That defense is finished.

Plus, one of the redacted photos with Clinton, Michael Jackson and Diana Ross was with Ross' kids - all redacted - not any of the victims!

Correction. It’s not a court order. It a law, passed almost unanimously by Congress, and signed by the current president, whose name shall remain redacted.

It is called being "normal."

At least since Bush the elder, the GOP has used "traditional American values" and "traditional family values" to bludgeon anyone who thinks differently, about anything. Remember Bush the elder making a big show of reciting the "God" phrase in the Pledge? Fact check, the God phrase was added to the pledge in the 1950s. Nothing "traditional" about it at all. Their "traditional family values" is used to argue against equal employment opportunity for women, and to argue against people in nontraditional interpersonal relationships.

That is where the use of "traditional values" is abused, as an excuse for bigotry.

You guys are completely irrational.

The person I was responding to asserted the proposition that adhering to traditional norms and values is an indicator of being a Right Wing Authoritarian.

I simply pointed out that adhering to traditional norms and values by the majority of the populace is necessary for social cohesion.

I also pointed out that it is the Leftist idiots who keep whining that Trump violates "norms "

You dum dums can't have it both ways.

And Biden swore before God and Country he would not pardon Hunter.

WTF are you babbling about? The Senate acquitted Clinton on the perjury charge with 10 Republicans joining the democrats in voting to acquit. On the obstruction of justice charge, 5 Republicans voted to acquit. Lieberman's vote didn't mean squat.


LurkerMom: And where does it say for a fact that is a true statement?

TRUMPEDO: “It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

TRUMPEDO: “Happy Birthday! May everyday be a wonderful secret.”

You sure love protecting pedos, dontcha?


LurkerMom: And Biden swore before God and Country he would not pardon Hunter. Stop hallucinating.

Biden knew Trumpedo was going to go on a revenge spree... and he was right.

You're crying about Biden pardoning his son but gleeful with Trumpedo pardoning a guy responsible for allowing 400 tons of cocaine into the United States, and for intervening to lift travel restrictions on sex traffickers to allow them to come to the United States?

C'mon, you're defending sex traffickers and pedophiles. Let that sink in.

Yep Clinton was acquitted, but he was/still guilty of carrying on like an animal in the People’s House.

laughing at you too.

Ummm...that's not a crime. Having sex in the Oval Office isn't illegal, to my knowledge.

I didn't vote for Clinton either time, but even I thought it was a silly waste of time to pursue the Lewinsky matter. As I recall, they ended up getting him for lying under oath. That mattered more to me than him committing adultery. The latter is between him and his wife. None of my (or your) business. And I'll reiterate, I never voted for Bill Clinton.

It was "Clinton derangement syndrome". How long did Ken Starr's fishing expedition go, trying to pin something, anything, on Clinton? He looked at Whitewater. Nothing there. He looked at the White House travel office. Nothing there. He looked at Vince Foster's suicide. Nothing there. They finally got Clinton in a box, and the darn fool lied about a scummy, but not illegal act, between consenting adults, so they impeached him for the lie.

Meanwhile, Lord Trump cries a river about "Russia, Russia, Russia", while normalizing every sort of corruption in high office you can think of.
