yes no they won't get imprisoned, they will just be forced to pay pocket money

If stability means the pillars of our society are held up by pedophiles bring on the fuckin instability.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 119 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, it's always funny when conservatives are like 'careful what you wish for, Clinton was friends with Epstein too!'. Like we give a fuck, lock him up!

[–] Pofski@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is the difference between "I want my team to win" or "I want the good guys to win".

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

It should be a Venn diagram with "I want the bad guys to be punished." Or a political compass with "I want to get away with raping women."

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

Yeah, my dad was going on about "why do all the Democrats want the Epstein files released, weren't the Clintons in there" and I'm like yeah, I want them to be investigated as well if needed. They can't imagine people would want the guys on their side investigated because after Nixon, they truly think any investigation of a political figure is for political gain.

Yah this argument makes no sense even if I imagine being a corn-fed chud in the hills, isn't this exactly the same "Bring down authority" narrative they've been preparing for years? Isn't this LITERALLY Q-anon's entire theater play but happening in real time?

Wow what warriors for saving children, look at 'em go! Look at them storm the capitol to bring down this evil cabal who are now actually admitting their existence in public, no code words, no secret basements! Wait, they stormed the capitol already? And it was because of no reason at all?

Well I'm sure they have something big planned to finally put an end to this deep-state scourge to life, liberty and children that they've been railing against for decades.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I say let's pull the copper from the walls and demolish this pedo clown world.

Don't forget about the catalytic converters.

Innocent?

If they are innocent, how would releasing the document destroy them?

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago (4 children)

In trump’s mind, there’s nothing more “innocent” that forcing two underage girls to dress up as maids, force them to perform sexual acts on each other and him, sexually assault them, and then tell them they “performed adequately “ before leaving them

"It's good innocent fun that boys do, we have to stop persecuting these men for just doing what all men want!"

This is going to be the pro-pedo narrative that the entire right does their abrupt 180 with.

Conservatives about Pizzagate, a made-up fantasy conspiracy theory on a pedophile ring of powerful people: put them all in jail!

Conservatives about the Epstein files, a real-life conspiracy on a pedophile ring of powerful people: well surely we can't put all these people in jail, think about the consequences!

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 27 points 1 week ago

The difference is now their guy is affected, while with pizzagate it was only the others.

[–] LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago

You don't get it! Pizzagate wasn't about our side like the Epstein files are!! /s

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 76 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Why would anything collapse? What a dumb thing to say. These people already don't do anything but leech off the system. We'd have a more effective government and we'd kick the real welfare queens out.

I call bullshit on 2/3 of Congress. I believe they’re not nearly as wealthy or powerful as the people being protected.

[–] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

I think what they don't want to say: enough Republican politicians will be in the files to remove the Republicans from power.

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I think we should expel 2/3 of Congress based solely on if they take corporate/billionaire money or not. That number would probably be higher than 2/3, though.

But also expelling violent criminals would be nice, even though likely all the violent criminals in Congress are also corrupt.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Every House seat and 1/3 of the Senate seats are up for reelection next fall. The primaries are the only place you’ll find small donor-funded candidates.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

call bullshit on 2/3 of Congress.

Yeah..... It really doesn't have to be that dramatic. The GOP would be more than willing to bury any kind of evidence if it only endangered a couple of their mega donors.

I mean I'm guessing that the people wealthy enough to partake in pedo island probably aren't a fan of paying taxes.

[–] slevinkelevra@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Well maybe it would destroy them by taking out their donors?

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans will ever release the Epstein files. Yes, this is a case in which "both sides" applies. I don't understand why we didn't pressure Biden to release this shit before the election.

Good?

Shit ain't exactly stable for 99.9% of us.

If arresting pedos also substantially changes the way our society works, that's a win-win

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

You're misunderstanding me bro.... See, we can't overthrow the criminally corrupt and pedophilic oligarchy, nor have legitimate democracy, because that would destabilize society... and as we all know, society is more stable when we protect criminals and pedophiles.

😳

[–] chosensilence@pawb.social 35 points 1 week ago

wait wait wait lmao hold on, are you saying the political elite are too big to fail? we can’t allow pedophile rapists to be punished because they weaseled their way to the top? i’m not fucking following the logic of their anger.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

It would in no way impede the stability of society, quite the opposite. Those are the very same people who are responsible for much of the instability. If the US were to start prioritising the public good over the profits of the oligarchy, 99.99% of society would benefit.

[–] Decq@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Wasn't Trump all about draining the swamp? And now that there is a swamp to drain he pussy's out? I guess TACO really was accurate.

They think they hold up society.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago

Yeah, if 2/3 of congress (and let's be honest, most pedos are GOP) and a bunch of CEOs disappeared for awhile literally nothing would be worse.

[–] School_Lunch@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Theses people think way too highly of themselves. All of them are easily replaceable.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If all of them went into their respective places of work tomorrow, locked themselves in and then all died of a gas leak, I wonder how long it would be before anyone would actually notice.

Much of the workings of a country are run by civil servants, etc who would still be there. They'd just get no new orders. People would still get paid. Shit would still get done.

It could be years before we find them.

Also The Conservative Alternative:

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

If they can be destroyed by the truth, they absolutely must be destroyed by the truth.

From this point on, reporters should work off of the baseline assumption that everyone who voted not to release the documents are mentioned in the documents. Until proven otherwise.

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

Golly, how many important men participated in the r*pe of little girls?

It's like anyone who seeks public attention is a pervert!

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

would be imprisoned

Hahaha! Oh surely they aren't that naive! What about the world today makes them think anyone on that list will face ANY consequences, even if the list was released?

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

why do i feel like, when the files will be released, basically nothing will happen to the people that are on it?

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

How would it destroy innocent people? If releasing it would destroy them then they can't be innocent, can they? Guess he meant to say "innocent"

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Right-wing pedophile apologists who elected a pedophile to the highest office in the land continue to apologize for pedophiles."

I need to take up drinking.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

it wont help... trust me bro
