Bill Maher’s audience audibly gasps when he reads what the Democratic Socialists of America are actually saying out loud:

MAHER: “Trump has told 1 trillion lies, but when he says the DSA are actually COMMUNISTS, that’s not one of them.”

“And it’s not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates.”

“J.D. Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of the DSA, my vote was in play. And all I heard all vacation was, ‘Oh, my God, you’re a Republican now.’ No, that's not what I said. I said in play, and here’s why.”

“Because not a week goes by where I don’t read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the Democratic Party. And then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out! Again.”

“Let’s just read the quotes. The DSA platform says: ‘You work as much as you are able and no more than needed.’ If that was any closer to Karl Marx’s dictum, from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, they’d be sued for plagiarism.”

“New York Mayor Mamdani once tweeted, Karl Marx’s words exactly. They’re not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy, he laments the fall of two of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.”

“Mamdani's aide, his top aide, Cea Weaver, said, ‘If you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over.’ And ‘impoverish the white middle class.’ What? That's a goal? You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?”

“One of the new, soon-to-be Democratic congresspeople, Darlesia Chavalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords and said, ‘Seize the means of production.’ Mamdani has said ‘The end goal is seizing the means of production.’ I think they want to seize the means of production.”

“Now, maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but THAT'S COMMUNISM.”

“Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance. And I must take them at their word. When their words include, ‘Our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society. In a word, communism.’”

“What do they have to do, tweet out ‘Elect more communists’? Oh, yeah, Cea Weaver did that.”

[Shows tweet, audience audibly gasps]

“Yes, [she really did that]! ... People gotta realize this is going on.”
 


“It’s basically communism, if not even worse than communism, because they literally want to have prisoners out on the streets, which would endanger a lot of women. And it's just wild to think that you do have a large portion of the population who actually believe in this”

The DSA is one of the fastest growing political movements in America, they’re essentially taking over the Democrat Party

If Democrats get elected they’ll open the border, the radical socialists will move towards abolishing prisons and America will be destroyed from the inside

I’m so excited to be able to announce that policy. It’s going to make Americans safer going forward.”

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.
 
MTG bringing some heat this morning.
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"

Where exactly are these victims at who are crying out?

I haven't seen any of them, and most of the crying has been by those seeking to take down Trump after the fake fight with Elon where he said Trump's in the files. That's when the giant outcry for files really went hot.



I had heard something about his victims naming names, but so far have not heard what names.

I have no doubt about Epstein having done what he was accused of, but when has there ever been arrests of anyone for sexual crimes without a victim having named names first?

Every single case of rape or sexual abuse that I have ever heard about being prosecuted, all started with "that man touched me".

I have never heard of a case where victims sat quiet just hoping the gov would release a paper that says someone touched them.

Epstein did what he did for decades. There should be 100's, if not a thousand or more grown women who were part of his operation when they were young girls.

Where are all of them at? Why do none of them come forward? As a group, even just a small group of them, they would be invincible. They would be media darlings.

Why do they need a gov released paper to say that someone did something to them?

No other case involving a sex crime has worked that way.

A victim comes forward and makes accusations. That's how cases like that start.


My take on this Epstein stuff is that all the girls were willing and eager participants and were well paid to do their job. Many of their families were likely well paid also. Ie: paid for their silence.

Coming forward carries the risk of exposing their own involvement.

I have a hard time believing they were all just a bunch of totally innocent and silly young girls who had no clue as to what was actually going on.

They were there to intentionally get their "victims" into compromising situations and to make sure it was documented.

I have no doubt that they knew where all the cameras were at and exactly how to get the evidence they were after.
 
Emphasis is Grok's:
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).

  • 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”).
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.

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?


Any of the testimony at Maxwell's trial only gave Epstein himself as the sole perp.

Ie: that whole trial was about proving Maxwell trafficked girls to Epstein for Epstein to have sexual relations with. Not other clients of Epstein, just him. As far as that case went, he did not traffic or provide girls to any other people.

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.

I guess my question is, if no one will say anything publicly, how are we ever to realistically expect anything to be done about any of this?

I don't want anyone to get away with illegal sex with minors than more than anyone else does.

I just find it kind of unrealistic that only if the gov would release a document that says someone touched a girl the wrong way, could it then be prosecuted.


Even then it would still require corrobating evidence. Words on paper are not not automatic evidence of a crime.

Which lends me to believe it was all BS.

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.

They would never have missed such an opportunity!

I'm not even sure what Epstein did any more.

Sure, he bedded young girls and probably entrapped some powerful people, but it's all rumors an in you end oh's... w/o a conviction.

Then there's Diddy and how he got off scott free...

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.

Then it was like a tidal wave of demand for files.
......but for the whole prior four years, hardly a word about any of it.

Had Kackles gotten in, we wouldn't have even gotten what we got.

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.

Actual evidence of diddlin' underage girls woulda been a death sentence on his political career.
......but the best they could do was some old paper work violations and a gold digging old hag to lie about Trump.

He's in jail. He didn't walk.

Now he didn't get convicted on the most serious charges, but he's effectively down for the count.

When he gets out, he'll be like OJ was. Everyone will believe him to be guilty of all of it. Even the stuff he didn't actually get convicted of.

There's just too much stuff that came out of that trial.
 


Well that's ONE of the things Durham did, yes.

Most people haven't figured this out yet, but it is coming:

Durham literally DREW THE MAP of the SHADOW GOVERNMENT NETWORK running through:

1. The DOJ
2. The FBI
3. The State Dept.
4. DHS
5. CIA
6. The Clinton Campaign
7. Perkins Coie
8. Fusion GPS
9. MI:6 [TAKE A WILD GUESS WHAT'S IN THAT DURHAM ANNEX THEY WON'T FULLY DECLASSIFY YET]
10. The British Gov't
11. The Austrailian Gov't
12. The Italian Gov't

Transnational Shadow Government Network, yes indeed.

He mapped it all out, followed the money, got it all on the federal court record.

No statute of limitations on making war on your President & country in alliance with foreign entities.

I don't care how many fuckin' retards tell you there's a statute of limitations on that.

THERE ISN'T.

Have a nice fuckin' day.
 


🧵🚨 THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus "democracy" ecosystem 🚨

11 federal counts. Wire fraud. Money laundering conspiracy. But here's what the SPLC headlines are missing:

• The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right
• That informant "helped coordinate transportation" to the rally... at SPLC's direction
• There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator
• His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car
• The indictment says postings were made "under the supervision of the SPLC"
• Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine
• SPLC installed itself as that machine's definitional gatekeeper

I report. You draw your own conclusions.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
