"First wave" of files Trump said didn't exist. And the MAGA knights feel no disturbance in The Farce.

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 29 points 22 hours ago

After just enough time to scrub Republicans from the record right?.... Right!?

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This shit is going to look like the Nixon tape transcriptions

[–] yggstyle@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hilariously this is practically a parallel of that exact situation.

[–] C4551E@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

yeah except this is about people who rape children, and way more americans are ok with it

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 14 points 23 hours ago

Which is pretty fun. In the unlikely scenario I ever get to meet these bastards I can comfortably and calmly call them both traitors and cowards.

If they're going to great lengths to redact the content, then they know what they did is illegal. If they like doing things illegally, then they are criminals. But right now, they're in power. If they don't want to get punished, then make what was illegal, legal.

They won't do that, because they'd either get burned at the stake, or it ruins the pleasure of it for them. I think it's the latter. The rich want things to be inaccessible to the have nots.

There is a scummy side to humanity that nobody likes to see. I cannot speak for people who defend him repeatedly doing the indefensible: but tribalism is a helluva thing - and we could all do better to avoid it.

Personally? I hope he is dragged kicking and screaming into court where he will be exposed and punished as the traitorous irredeemable scum I believe him to be.

~~Politicians~~ People in positions of power need to be held to a higher standard and should be scrutinized relentlessly. There are some deep flaws in our system and one would hope that if any good were to come of all of this... we are able to repair the damage done and patch some of these holes (and learn from them.)

350 million people in the us. Only a handful are ever going to be in charge... damn right they better be model citizens. Wtf, america.

There was so much Trump abusing kids in there it took weeks to scrub it all.

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Imagine having to scrub all of the payment/flight records?? I would guess it's not what most of those agents signed up for

[–] shplane@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Unfortunately these people don’t have independent thought. They blindly do what they’re told and that’s exactly why the FBI hires them. My brother went through 6 months of interviews to join the agency years ago and all their questions were about how well he follows authority. He eventually got rejected so I guess he was too much of a free thinker.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Took them a while to black out all mentions of Trump.

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

With any luck, they'll just use the black highlighter tool on a PDF

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

The incompetence level is high with this admin, that's for sure!

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Who’s still talking about Jeffery Epstein? Let’s take back the streets of America with my Nazi army! 🫲🍊🫱

+1 for 🫲🍊🫱

I’m definitely using this lol

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Definitely use it! Everyone should! Everybody’s talking about it! 🫲🍊🫱

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

I imagine they have just coloured them in black with a paint roller. There won't even be a margin.

Just one note, attached with a paperclip, written on a burger wrapper that says "there is no mention of ~~me~~ Donald J Trump in these documents"

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 16 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Any bets on a bunch of Dems being named and not a single GOPer listed?

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Oh, no, they'll list the ones not falling in line behind the cheeto taco. The last "wave" probably won't ever be released. Make the orange baby cry, congrats you're in the next one

[–] comador@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Final release aill probably look something like this:

Dennis[Redacted]

Don[Redacted]

[Page Redacted]

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't in forget Bi[redacted]ll[redacted]lint on[redacted]

that would be beautiful!

[–] don@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago

Sheets of nothing but black ink.

[–] BMW_stick@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

Where are all the hackers???????

[–] QuantumTickle@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago

They're going to be overly redacted, the GOP will say it's to protect the victims, they will be useless.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

with Mueller style redactions?

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Are they going to send them the same files they keep releasing to the public or will this be different files?
