Or the military being used to kidnap a world leader?

It will come back. But honestly the stuff that's been released should temper what people expect to see. Much of the Epstein files will be the same mundane stuff we all have like pictures with friends or emails.

ceding their authority to this white house, the dismantling of the healthcare system, putting the most incompetent people in charge of critical departments, and a press that is only too willing to give a free pass to the corruption that they would have never allowed previously.

What happened to those girls is NOT mundane either. The delays, and I believe the actually cover-up that has gone on for over a decade, is just another example of abuse against the victims.

Just look at how our illustrious press is presenting the situation on Venezuela, going as far as justifying it. Of course that should be no surprise because they did the same thing with the toppling of Iraq, going as far as intentionally pushing the WMD lie, instead of exerting the minimal effort to present the fact that there were no WMDs.

Do you want a breathless 30 minutes a day on nothing happening? There's a lot of other things that matter and have actual ongoing updates.

Sure what happened to the victims isn't mundane, but literally nothing released so far is anything. The vast majority of the "file" is going to be exactly that. There's very likely not some cache of videos showing whoever you think abusing girls.

Wages
Healthcare
Rent
Debt
Groceries

We need more foreign papers carrying the story, until our stateside media can no longer ignore it.
