It may be BS to say it was immigrants but he doesn’t need to lie and compound the idiocy either.

Fred’s an idiot. Bessent said no such as sneaking cows into the US. He said North America, he said beef has been halted from Mexico - which is in North America. Fred’s the weirdo liar.

Still cringe every time I see this. Out of touch and tone deaf. If he has any sense of introspection he’d go back and delete the tweet.

I’m seeing a lot of MAGA getting pissed off online. 50 year mortgage, 600,000 Chinese students, H1Bs, Epstein files (for some)… they are wondering what has gone on.

So far as I can tell Red isn’t saying they shouldn’t be released, he just provided a reason why they might not be released. Why all the debate? Because you keep calling everyone protectors of pedos bro.

You want the files to be released - fine - leave it there. No need to be saying that those who might see it different want to protect pedos. It’s a weird narrative you’re creating just to get annoyed at people. So far as I can tell, nobody ITT is actually against the files being released btw.

Red posted a plausible reason which for some reason you choose to ignore. I haven’t seen the files, so I don’t know. You haven’t seen the files, so you don’t know either.

I don’t care one way or another if the files aren’t released. If there is a compelling reason to release do so, if not then don’t. But let’s stop pretending please that if you don’t want them to be released that your motive is to protect pedophiles. That is some kind of f’d up framing. ’if you don’t think the files should be released you’re protecting pedos’ - come on.

How is person’s position on releasing the Epstein files somehow related to their views on protecting pedophiles? Or that the release of the files is a requirement for prosecution of pedophiles? Is this another case of pretending to not know how things work?

Yeh but as others have said, Biden admin was less than a year ago. It’s no so easy to hide behind Trump admin here when a completely different admin, who hated Trump, didn’t release them either.

Yeh, but I can also see why there might be a public interest to release the files. Whats the story about Pam Bondi? Don't get the reference.

Don’t the authorities have the files? So if there is a case to be made they can make it. In most other investigations they don’t need to make the files public.

Good to see this from CNN: “In one email dated April 2, 2011, which CNN has independently reviewed, Epstein emailed Maxwell: “i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.. (REDACTED) spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there.” That’s good journalism to spot the sleight of hand and correct for it. Also CNN: “GOP members of the House Oversight committee identified the person as Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most prominent survivors who died by suicide in April, and accused Democrats of hiding her name because she had not alleged Trump to have done anything wrong.”

It’s interesting that you reached such a conclusion based on the above e-mail. I never cared about the Epstein stuff, before Trump, during Trump, now. Never read or watched a thing about it. Life’s a lot easier when you realise you don’t have to form an opinion about something, or rush to judgement. However if you don’t think the Dems won’t try to spin even the slightest thing - which was kinda of my point - I wouldn’t call that TDS I’d start with naive.

These things go by ‘redacted’ although it’s a clever spin for the Dems to release it as ‘VICTIM’ because it frames the sentence differently.

Don’t really know this guy Dave, other than he pops up every now and again on Twitter. Kinda of crazy how much of a jerk he comes across in this video. Understand he was harassed the other day, sure, but not acceptable.

Sold out of NVR, just felt a bit meh with the position, had it a good while and it’s done very little. Think these compounders are always better bought at the lower PE especially if revenue is flat coming on four years

I agree. But you do know why, you’re just being generous.

What a wild comment from Trump. We know the Chinese students often come to spy and steel.

Even 8% of all US adults is insane.

BBC director just came out and said the org wasn't institutionally biased... right.. so that's why all the public self owns are of left wing bias then. Got it. Out of touch morons.

The hyperbole erodes trust that the other person is engaging in good faith, and I think when the facts or on your side it undermines your argument. However, I ChatGPT’d part of your reply, and was very surprised by the answer - I didn’t realise it was that bad in Chicago.

Yeh, I really don’t care if a news org is biased openly. It’s the sneaky ones claiming to be middle of the road and unbiased that piss me off

A great many. The BBC also did a documentary about Gaza and didn’t realise that the lead boy and narrative was the son of Hamas minister. It’s a joke organisation. In some ways it’s not their fault, BBC used to be a trusted source, only the rise of social media that they are getting called out on stuff. Makes you wonder how much shit they were pedalling before.

Good, although the journalists who did this need fired too. The rot is throughout the organisation.
