Couldn't let the holiday season pass without this (in my not-so-humble opinion) now classic gem!

Let’s face it: the Epstein files are not the issue. We already know that Trump is a truly evil person with abominable proclivities. The issue is what is 🇺🇸America going to do about him. So far, it seems, not much. 🤔🧐😒

They’re actually redacting Trump’s name AFTER the release.

This may be the first president whose name will be removed from things after he passes instead of added to them.

This whole Epstein thing has to come to a head, right? Trump and his entire administration are thugs and criminals and we need lawmakers to hold them accountable like 8 years ago. #EpsteinFiles #Dems

To those who said ahead of time that the Epstein Files would be so heavily redacted as to be useless, you were correct! Congratulations on understanding the criminal nature of this regime.

When the GOP wasn't evil.

If the administration is willing to go to extreme lengths to conceal damaging allegations that trump is a pedophile and part of a sex trafficking ring, it raises serious questions about how much trust we should place in their claims— including the legitimacy of the last fucking election.

By releasing less than 1% of the files in the custody of DOJ, and doctoring even those released to eliminate references to Trump and his entourage,Trump is further inflaming his Epstein problem. He's behaving like a man who believes the files, if released, will destroy him. Maybe they will.

The EPSTEIN Files are a much quicker read than I expected.

The experts can sift through the Epstein files all they want. They've been redacted to the max. I've taken some sample views. It's a joke. The Republicans have cleansed them of anything pointing towards those responsible. Trump has been redacted out. Republican law breaking by the DOJ.

Man is entirely unhinged. Nevertheless, politicians, former presidents, media, and anyone of influence remain silent on a grave issue merely regarded as eccentric conduct. This is not simply an idiosyncrasy, and the assertions made by Vought and Miller are profoundly unsettling.

“The most transparent administration in history” only released 10% of the Epstein files yesterday. The DOJ must be confusing transparency with cover-up.

Nothing but failure and corruption! #crime #politics

From someone who has been paying attention to what's going on. Especially today.

There is no way this boot-licking gang of thugs is going to release anything incriminating from the Epstein files about the lawless criminal in the Oval Office.

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

If you want to know what Trump released from the Epstein Files tonight I am happy to summarize it for you in one image:

I feel like that makes it worse, bc it underscores that it's not just (using just loosely) RFK Jr randomly being a conspiracy addled eugenicist wackjob -- this catastrophe was coordinated and had the backing of the conservative legal movement

Everyone should keep their children away from anyone that is a Republican.

So, Congress passes a law requiring the release of ALL the Trumpstein files. Any redactions to protect ONLY the victims Trump DOJ releases a highly redacted and incomplete batch after working on them for months, citing various lame excuses for their non-compliance This is what a coverup looks like

DOJ unleashes partial Epstein files, dodging full release deadline in brazen law defiance, as polls show 65% scorn Trump's handling. Elite cover-up coils like hidden voids, swallowing victims' cries in shadowy depths. #EpsteinFiles

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

Today, we're learning why DOJ didn't release the redacted files last March. Because the multitude of redactions exposes how much they're covering up.

Basically nothing but a big middle finger to Congress, the American public and the rule of law. So what are we going to do about it?

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

Yes, ignoring the horrific actions by Republicans and only attacking Democrats because a few did something you didn't like it's normalizing Republicans being fascists. Yep.

yelling that Trump is doing something "against the law" is meaningless if there are no consequences

As new Epstein files are released, keep in mind that in his first term, Trump ate, flushed, and stole documents, and his Chief of Staff burned them in the White House fireplace.

surprise, surprise. DOJ will release docs over a rolling production over a few weeks -- violation of terms of Epstein law but who's to stop them. Big point is timing -- remember first spin of Mueller Report by Bill Barr? What comes out first will be big influence on public perception.

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

Better and more accurate question: Why do people keep voting for Republicans to have seats in Congress?

DoJ will NOT release all the Epstein files today. So predictable. They say they’ll release some today, and more later on a “rolling basis.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

The next administration ought to do a Pay Per View event showing them dismantling and torching all of the tacky and gaudy shit Trump has put up and in OUR Whitehouse. That might make a significant dent in our national debt.

Mitt Romney says that America's tax rates for the ultra wealthy—like himself—are ludicrously low, and that changing this is the quickest path to budgetary stability. A revolutionary shift among the GOP elite?

"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered,” Paine wrote, “yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

It's very, very far down the list of appalling things he's done, but the tacky, vainglorious desecration of the Kennedy Center—which I was a regular attendee at & patron of for many years—is particularly personally nauseating. I look forward to going again someday once his name has been scrubbed.

Trump adding his own name to the Kennedy Center - a memorial institution given its name after JFK was assassinated - is the most nakedly reprehensible and insulting act of cultural desecration by any modern US president. This is just beyond parody now. The man is mentally and cognitively unwell.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

This says so much about my generation and Rob Reiner's impact on our young, impressionable brains. And his fictional TV role of playing the "fairness freedom fighter" became his real-life role on so many issues (especially marriage equality). Rob Reiner was a treasure and a blessing. And a mensch!

A photo of David Brooks palling around with Epstein in the latest Epstein files drop three weeks after he wrote a column chiding America for caring about the Epstein story is some serious Rafael Palmeiro shit.
