Epstein Files -- Be Careful What You Demand

[selmaborntidefan]

Do yall think this botched redactment is incompetence or on purpose? I have a hard time believing that an organization that regularly redacts documents would accidently release these files in a format that would easily allow for copy and paste into a word document.

As I said, I think it's the result of people knowing Trump doesn't pay his bills and they ultimately work for him for free.

Nobody but the believers of Breitbart are going to "both-sides" these two administrations. Not even close.

but i thought both sides was the ultimate in noble pursuits

If that’s what you want to believe, go right ahead. I won’t try to change your (or anyone else’s) mind.

With this bunch, I'm taking a wild guess and suspecting incompetence. It abounds. Far worse than 43's political appointees. You don't put idiots at defense and the FBI. We have a purported Russian asset in charge of national security.

I don't buy the Gabbard is a Russian asset narrative.

Hillary started that crap when she realized that Gabbard out-classed her by a country mile. For a while there, that whole “Russian asset” narrative was literally becoming a reflex for nimrods like Clinton.

You don't have to believe Gabbard is a Russian agent to see why people raised concerns. U.S. intelligence has been clear that Russia looks for western voices who undermine trust in American institutions. Gabbard has repeatedly pushed arguments that fit that goal, from her Assad trip to talking points that Russian state media eagerly promotes. That does not make her a spy. It makes her a very useful messenger.

Saying Gabbard “out-classed” Hillary is really just a way of saying someone prefers Tulsi’s style. Gabbard is disciplined on camera, calm, and very good at delivering sharp one-liners. That plays well, especially with those who find her message acceptable.

But if we’re talking about records, they are not comparable. Clinton spent decades in public life, served eight years in the U.S. Senate, four years as Secretary of State, and won the national popular vote for president by millions of votes. Gabbard served four terms in the U.S. House. She had some national visibility, but she never held senior House leadership or chaired major committees. After leaving Congress, she increasingly aligned with right-leaning media and positions and built a national brand around that.

So if someone wants to say Tulsi “out-classed” Hillary on presentation or charisma, fine. If we’re talking experience, policy depth, and overall impact, the comparison favors Clinton pretty clearly.

I didn't say that I didn't see why people raised concerns.

That's fair. I was just trying to expand on the Gabbard and Russia connection. Any implication that you are unconcerned about her actions was unintended.

I think there are many Republicans who allow themselves to be Russian assets, not rising the level of spies, to promote a mutually beneficial agenda. Its pretty obivous that Russian influence has infiltrated the NRA, Fox News, and numerous politicians. Trump has so many financial entanglements with Russian support. He should never have been allowed to run for President.

I will reiterate 8 Republican Senators dont vacation over July 4 in Moscow without some shadow agenda.
