    Sure, that’s why so many people are calling it world war epstein right? This article is pure, concentrated cope. The only strategy they have is telling you you aren’t thinking about something, which by the way makes you think about that thing. So… mission accomplished?

    That’s a dumb way to frame this. “My interest in resolving my crippling debt dropped 95% when I set my house on fire!” Well, creating and imminent crisis doesn’t make your other problems go away.

    Sez who? I haven’t forgotten anything, and I mean anything. I’m still holding hard grudges from the first administration.

    Google Trends data

    So for me to “stay interested”, not only am I supposed to stay at my computer 24/7 and search “epstien files” over and over, I have to use Google to do it as well?

    Is the person in charge of calculating unemployment numbers and cost of living increases in charge of this as well?

    What stupid research. But even if those numbers are meaningful now, all they remind us of is that people’s interest will return. For example, now we have documents about the security guard who got bribed who falsified the documents. We also have more information about Epstein’s brother who lied to federal investigators about what he knew. And we have even more pictures and video of Trump being a sleazy bastard.

    Donald thought he could deflect attention, but in the end it will always come back to him and his ultra-rich buddies being horrible human beings. We’re not gonna forget that. We’re not going to let it go.

        It’s possible, but feels unlikely, at least in my specific situation. I would wager I am the only person I know on Lemmy. Friends have similar political views, but then some family do not, still comes up. Video game friends/acquaintances are similar in age, not same views, comes up very often. Then coworkers are not the same age at all, and it comes up there often as well. Not denying it could be, just 3/3 on what feels like different populations/demos had me anecdotally feeling otherwise

    i don’t buy it that they need to bomb iran to “distract from the epstein files”

    they wouldn’t be prosecuted about it anyway period, and it’s not like people are gonna forget we have pedophilic elites.

          Yes they do, Iran embargo was way before Trump. But as I understand, Trump was sort of reluctant to attack Iran, and even kidnapped Maduro for distraction.

            trump kidnapped maduro for intimidation, and was just as immune from the epstein stuff then.

            i think you guys will have to depose him if you want him to see consequences.

              too many americans are either too comfortable or too desperate to do this; only a systems collapse caused by either climate change or economic crisis will accomplish this.

                then we better hope the oil stuff crashes their economy asap, i really don’t want to see what an empire-ending climate change crisis would look like.

                even if you did, i don’t think usians in general are ready for action at all.

                  I live here and we are not hungry enough yet.

                  Maybe ozempic will be put in the tap water when food becomes scarce.

    Don’t worry, none of us have forgotten about the international pedo ring that many of our public servants tolerated, enabled, and participated in and then did not take responsibility for when they were exposed.

    WE’VE BEEN LYING TO YOU THIS WHOLE TIME ABOUT WHAT YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE, BUT IT’S NOT WORKING ANYMORE BECAUSE OF INTERNET MEDIA ON THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT,

    MORE AT ELEVEN.

    LOOK OVER HERE, the Israeli government totally does not have video footage of our billionaire owner raping underage women on Epstein island.

    Damn it, why isn’t it working anymore?
