It won't change anything in the courts they already own, but it will slow things down in the ones they don't.

I'm sure they're happy to get their own loyalists in there, but at least a legal team full of incompetent dipshits is good for the rest of us.

I can't help but think they're just making it worse.

I'm no expert, but I would think that altering evidence is a huge risk.

• If you want the changes done by experts, so they're harder to identify, you have to let the experts in on what you're doing. That means more potential leakers.
• If you make any changes that contradict the physical evidence, you've outed yourself.
• The changes you make can be credibly contradicted by people who have seen the unedited versions.
• You might have to change a lot of stuff, especially if your boy was very close to the sex trafficker in question.

If you get caught, you've just made the problem 100x worse, as a lot of people are just going to assume your guilt as soon as they hear you've tampered with the evidence.

Looks more like a sick8da boi.

I can't tell if they didn't expect fallout like this, or if the files are so incriminating, even after redactions, that this fallout is still preferable. We'll probably never know, but I'd bet on the latter.

Not necessarily, the US now has a long track record of progressive policies being super popular when they're not associated with Democrats.

...bitch you even know how movie tickets work?

100% true, and it's not going to end if/when Mamdani wins the election. They'll do everything they can to make his term a failure.

Oh, fuck right off with this pro-wrestling level drama. Not one person involved in all this is "going rogue". Everything, from the "nothing to see here" to the faux outrage is theater to distract from the fact that if Donald Trump wanted the Epstein files to be released, they'd be released.

B-b-but...

#LifeGoals for billionaires everywhere else.

People can be both, but generally it seems like MAGAs are more conservative-in-name-only while being genuinely and deeply reactionary. They will tell you they want smaller government (conservative) but then if you get into specific issues they're happy to list all the things government should do, even if that makes it bigger, like tightly controlling borders and voting. However, a lot of them sincerely believe there are getting to be too many non-whites in their country (reactionary) and that anyone who's poor deserves to be. Unless it's them, of course; they're just down on their luck.

Heartbreaking

I mean, if that rule gets tossed out, I can only think of like 2 world leaders I'd be sad to see go. Russia is already actively trying to kill one of those.

Never pass up an opportunity to post this onion (clickhole) article

They tempted the heroes with wealth beyond measure so that by the time they stab them in the back, nobody mourns.

Also because there's probably democrats on the list Also because Bill Clinton.

Making inoffensive microtransactions is such a tightrope walk. Just putting an up-front price is so much simpler on their end.
