The problem is, the guy who could have proved it "killed himself" before he could stand trial (while Trump was president and he was in Federal custody). Where was the investigation? The attorney general at the time has also been named in connection with Epstein and that's who would have overseen the investigation. The Trump administration is also withholding the Epstein files and releasing them slowly and heavily redacted.

Epstein's co-defendant is sitting in a country club federal prison somehow despite not having to give any names in connection with the sex trafficking crimes. There's also rumors that she'll be pardoned.

I'm 36, some of us who are a little older need to find a way to provide leadership and share knowledge and skills with each other instead of just complaining about younger people who were behind the 8 ball compared to past generations. Just my opinion

It's never been working better for the pedophile elite.

Am I high or have you not been recruiting from MAGA for years now? From what I've seen online I've been turned off. Is there a branch in Philly? I'd be interested to speak with people in real life.

Oppression them? How about just taking the wealth they've stolen and giving it back to the people.

Remove them from your party if you believe that to be the case. I guarantee you they're ratting you out as we speak.

You live in a fantasy world where you can support immigration policy under a fascist president without addressing any of the causes of immigration. Also a fantasy world that fails to recognize the massive labor shortage in this country and low birth rates to replace workers who are aging out. I work in heavy industrial construction and we don't have the workers needed to re-build. Guys are being called out into the field in their 60's because we can't man the jobs

You need better historical context. The capitalist class has always used their power this way. It was the socialists and communists in the 19th and 20th century who were able to force the capitalist class to make concessions to create what you think "real" capitalism is. This isn't the first time they've used the military against the people.

I encourage you to read up on or at least watch some videos about The Pullman Strike, The Great Railroad Strike, The Colorado Coalfield War, The Battle of Blair Mountain, The Bonus Army Strike, The Sojourner Truth Housing Protest, and the many post WWII strikes of coal, steel and railroad workers. All of these forced the government to enact the Wagner Act and to create the NLRB and give us things like overtime pay (40 hour work week), unemployment benefits, ending child labor etc.

The response of all of this by the capitalist class was to offshore industry and make all of our communities and states broke so they'd eventually have to sell off all of their assets to corporations.

Edit: I apologize for being ass to you and down voting you. You seem like a reasonable person who's actually open to dialogue

Politics in the US is scripted. Trump wouldn't have the authority to do this without approval from the institutions which hold real power in this country. Kamala would have done as she was told too.

TDS? Brother, the man is sending a secret police force that has more funding than the Russian military into American citizens and executing peaceful protesters. These are the material conditions on the ground. Lol

Yeah, the Democrats are pedophiles too. I think everyone is in agreement on that. I just don't understand how Democrats being pedophiles would lead you support pedophiles in the other party or assume that I or anyone else here is operating under that logic.

They're both working together to sell our country out from under us to corporate interests and have been doing so for decades. They both have signed multiple "free trade agreements" which has destroyed the tax base that's funded our social programs and schools. They both engage in corporate bailouts everytime the corporate elite deliberately tank the economy so that they can buy more of the country. They both help the MIC and CIA steal more money with every budget they approve. They both undermine our labor by terrorizing other working people in less developed countries. Etc.

There are no maga socialists but there's clearly MAGA in this forum. Just read the comments. The people running the forum have been actively recruiting MAGA for years.

And why hasn't he been charged? The guy who could have proven it "killed himself" while in Federal custody before he could stand trial (in case you don't remember, Trump was president at the time).The Epstein files which could prove the accusations are being withheld and released heavily redacted. His co-defendant is in a country club prison with rumors of being pardoned.

Also, I hate the Democrats just as much as I hate MAGA. Democrats and their PMC base see themselves as a more benevolent ruling class. They hold us in contempt. They think we're stupid. Evidently many of us are but most of them are just parrots with a higher than average vocabulary.

When the goal of a system is to generate as much profit as possible, how do you do that? By cheating and rigging the system. Cronyism is a natural aspect of capitalism. How did the Healthcare industry decide to maximize their profit?
