Will TACO DON go into full reverse Monday after Mossad talks with him...Will Trump do this at "Warp Speed?"
That sounds good, but unless they can get at least half the nation on board, we'll just end up with a coalition government like what happens in England with their three way crap.
Any member of the Trump admin that wants to run for POTUS in 28 who has defended Trump’s war in Iran and not spoken out against it publicly, has stood with the admin on the coverup of the Epstein files, and refuses to publicly apologize to the American people for the creating more inflation and high gas prices with the Iran war, will not be trusted.
64% of Americans are against the Iran war, and it is a complete betrayal of campaign promises.
The Epstein files are still not fully released, which has been one of the biggest issues the American people demanded in recent history.
Lowering cost of living and gas prices was a key campaign promise that had been completely broken because of Trump’s Iran war making costs of living even worse for the American people.
You won’t get to walk out on 2028 presidential stages with your anti-neocon tough talk and try to tell us this time will be different because all we will see is your blood stains from 18 US service members and children of the Minab girls school.
We won’t believe you when you claim to bring transparency and accountability because the Epstein victims will still be crying out demanding the Epstein files and justice they never received.
And if you utter the phrase America First claiming to focus on a domestic agenda, we will laugh at you because your pockets are lined with AIPAC, MIC, and other corporate pac dollars that always fight against putting regular Americans first.
YOU are in power right now.
End the war and bring our beloved troops home immediately.
Release the files and prosecute pedophiles and rapists, even if they are your donors and friends.
And put 100% of your focus on domestic issues that lower inflation, costs of groceries, and gas and energy prices for the American people.
We no longer live in the failed two party system and will no longer be controlled by it.
Both parties, no matter who is in charge, put us in deeper debt, continue to ruin the value of our hard earned dollars, and always drag us into foreign war after foreign war that feed the debt, ruin the dollar, and kill people.
It’s gross.
We are done.
We won’t vote for you anymore because the other side is worse than you, there’s no difference, both are disgracefully bad.
Approximately 45% of Americans are independents.
We don’t need the two parties anymore.
"the Epstein victims will still be crying out demanding the Epstein files and justice they never received"MTG bringing some heat this morning.
Grok said:Publicly known information about victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s network centers on a large-scale sex trafficking and abuse operation involving Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell (convicted in 2021 of sex trafficking a minor and related charges, sentenced to 20 years). Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting federal trial. Official and reporting estimates indicate he harmed more than 1,000 victims (primarily girls and young women), with many abused as minors (some as young as 13–14) from the 1990s into the 2000s at properties in Florida, New York, New Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and elsewhere.
A 2008 Florida non-prosecution agreement allowed Epstein a relatively light sentence on state charges involving underage girls. Federal scrutiny intensified later, leading to the 2019 indictment, Maxwell’s trial (which featured victim testimony), numerous civil lawsuits, an Epstein estate compensation fund that paid tens of millions to claimants, and large-scale document releases (including from Giuffre v. Maxwell unsealings starting around 2024 and broader Justice Department files under later transparency measures in 2025–2026).
Many victims remain anonymous (often referred to as Jane Does in court filings) to protect privacy. Dozens have spoken publicly, testified, filed lawsuits under their names or pseudonyms later unsealed, or been identified in media and court records after choosing to come forward or after imperfect redactions in government releases. Recent Justice Department file dumps (involving millions of pages) have drawn criticism for exposing identifying details of at least dozens to over 170 victims in some analyses, leading to reported harassment, threats, and safety concerns for some survivors.
Notable individuals who have spoken publicly or been identified in public records
These are drawn from their own statements, court testimony, lawsuits, interviews, or unsealed documents. Accounts generally describe recruitment (often via offers of modeling work, massages, mentoring, or financial help) followed by sexual abuse, with some alleging further trafficking to others (allegations that have produced settlements or denials but few additional criminal convictions beyond Epstein and Maxwell).
In Maxwell’s trial, the four main accusers described being minors or young teens when interactions began (one met Epstein/Maxwell around age 14 at a summer arts camp; others in their mid-to-late teens). Survivors have repeatedly emphasized lasting trauma, impacts on mental health, and calls for fuller accountability regarding any facilitators or others involved. Groups of survivors have held press conferences (including on Capitol Hill), demanded complete unredacted releases of remaining files (while protecting victim identities), and in some cases begun compiling their own information on associates.
- Virginia Giuffre (née Roberts, 1983–2025): One of the most prominent. She publicly described being recruited around age 16 at Mar-a-Lago by Maxwell, alleged abuse by Epstein and Maxwell, and claimed she was trafficked to others including Britain’s Prince Andrew (who denied wrongdoing and settled her civil suit in 2022). She sued under a pseudonym early on, went public around 2011, participated in key litigation against Maxwell that produced many unsealed documents, and became a leading advocate. Her posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl was published in 2025. She died by suicide in April 2025.
- Annie Farmer: Testified under her real name at Maxwell’s 2021 trial (the only one of the four key accusers to do so fully publicly at the time). She has described events around age 16 involving Epstein and Maxwell at the New Mexico ranch. Her sister Maria Farmer is also a publicly identified survivor who reported concerns to authorities years earlier and has spoken out.
- Courtney Wild: Spoke at court hearings related to Epstein’s case, challenged aspects of the 2008 plea deal, and has been active in advocacy.
- Chauntae Davies: Has spoken publicly about her experiences, including recruitment involving Maxwell and events at Epstein’s properties.
- Sarah Ransome: Has written about and publicly discussed her experiences as a young adult in Epstein’s orbit; appeared in documentaries and statements.
- Others who have spoken, testified, or been named in public contexts include (non-exhaustive): Jennifer Araoz; Lisa Phillips; Marina Lacerda (spoke publicly in 2025 about experiences starting at age 14); Liz Stein; Danielle Bensky; Jena-Lisa Jones; Wendy Pesante; Joanna Harrison; Anouska De Georgiou; Haley Robson; Theresa Helm; Alicia Arden; Marijke Chartouni; Carolyn Andriano (testified using her first name at Maxwell’s trial; died in 2023); and others identified in unsealed Giuffre v. Maxwell materials or later file releases. Some testified under partial names or pseudonyms at Maxwell’s trial (“Jane,” “Kate,” and “Carolyn”).
Key caveats from public records: Mentions of high-profile people in flight logs, contact books, depositions, or victim statements (e.g., in the Giuffre-Maxwell materials) do not equate to proven criminal involvement. Recent Justice Department reviews have stated there is no credible “client list” supporting charges against additional third parties beyond what was already pursued, though victims and advocates continue pressing for more investigation. Many details of individual experiences remain private by design, and public accounts focus on the pattern of recruitment and abuse rather than exhaustive personal histories.
Survivors and their representatives have highlighted both the scale of the harm and ongoing privacy/safety issues stemming from imperfect document handling. Information continues to emerge from civil cases, advocacy, and official releases, but the core public picture rests on victim statements, court records, and investigative reporting rather than a single comprehensive roster.
Again, why do they not just name names?
... Recent Justice Department file dumps (involving millions of pages) have drawn criticism for exposing identifying details of at least dozens to over 170 victims in some analyses, leading to reported harassment, threats, and safety concerns for some survivors. ...
There were some who had threatened to name names publicly if the gov didn't release more stuff, but I hadn't heard or seen anything about since, and the gov hadn't released anything more since they said it.The victims do not want publicity for their own safety.
Which lends me to believe it was all BS.There were some who had threatened to name names publicly if the gov didn't release more stuff, but I hadn't heard or seen anything about since, and the gov hadn't released anything more since they said it.
At this point, who knows?Which lends me to believe it was all BS.
What's telling to me on that, is that there was no big push at all for files to be released until Elon went on TV and said Trump's in there.The left kind of gave up on Trump's releasing the files. I'm thinking there's nothing implicating Trump else they would have released it years ago.
There's no way in hell that had there been implicating evidence on Trump in those files, that the Biden admin would not have used it.They would never have missed such an opportunity!
He's in jail. He didn't walk.Then there's Diddy and how he got off scott free...
