If no one's going to be held ACCOUNTABLE, if the politicians and media are just going to treat spying and sexual assaults as fundraising and clickbait, then yes.

These subjects interest me more:

National single payer healthcare
$25 an hour minimum wage
4 day work week
Nationalize utilities

This includes companies who get government contracts and sitting on benches making decisions.

Am I interested is seeing justice for probable crimes? Absolutely.

Am I interested in following up on every crank who calls in with some unverifiable claim or make an outcast of everyone who ever emailed Epstein or was in the files without evidence of a crime? No.

But I don't trust the current DOJ leadership to have provided everything that would be verifiable? Absolutely not. So at least short term, no I wouldn't support moving on in the next Democratic administration. But whatever the equivalent of us calling Hillary Clinton in with no evidence just because we don't like them, no thanks.

I don't think we should ever "move on" whatever that means, until we see what was in the thousands of redacted pages that were in the "release". The fact that the DOJ is refusing to allow anyone to see them has implications that go far beyond the Epstein case and are far scarier.

The complicated part is that we keep hearing about people that were in the Epstein circle not accused of "wrongdoing". Which is NOT a legal term and has no meaning in a court of law. In my opinion anyone that associated with Epstein surely knew what he was doing (nod-nod, wink-wink) and is guilty of wrongdoing - essentially being a scumbag.

But that is different from whether there is evidence of criminality.

No Dem would ever say, "Let's move on." Some, probably most, might say, "Let the prosecutions roll. Find all child abusers and perverts, coat them with chum, and toss them in the ocean near some fins. Keep me posted."

Now...they might continue...

About prices, health care, AI, jobs, Social Security benefit cuts being eyed for 2032, homelessness, the 2026 election, and, by the way, rampant Epstein-like crimes happening every few seconds in this country (just off our precious screens)...Can someone look into that?
