Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a batch of 68 photos obtained from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, one day before the deadline for the Trump administration to release a much larger group of Epstein files.
The photos come from a trove of 95,000 images the committee received last week, the Democrats said. The release includes images of lines from the novel “Lolita” written on a person’s body; various travel documents; a screenshot of text messages about an 18-year-old from Russia and more. The photos can be accessed here.
The Democrats released several dozen photos last week, showing various high-profile figures including President Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Woody Allen, Gates and others. Neither batch of photos implicates any of those pictured in Epstein’s crimes.
… why are we still fixated on this? We know what happened. There will continue to be no accountability on the ruling class. How about we focus on the present problems?
Because the alternative is nihilism and chronic apathy and depression.
Because doing something is better than rolling over and crying “woe is me”
I think it’s important to discern where the focus is/where time and energy is best suited for. Just doing “something” lacks direction and therefore lacks foresight. Throwing stuff at the wall hoping that it’ll stick isn’t a great approach.
What has come of it? The files were “released” yesterday that were 90% blacked out, some photos are labeled incorrectly (ie: Michael Jackson and Clinton). I was expecting this outcome and the d’s reaction is to threaten impeachment, I was also expecting this outcome. This all is theater. So what is the point?
Imagine wanting to IGNORE this. The fuck is wrong with you?
Is this called whataboutism?
