Yeah the 'why isn't anybody doing or saying anything' is the fakest news and the laziest false narrative.
I mean, we are probably in a hot area (Chicagoland) but there are several protests weekly, sometimes more than one daily, around here.

People have a difficult time grasping the scale of exactly how many 340 million people is so it's not surprising if they're not seeing their news tell them about a protest or march or what they consider resistance they think it doesn't exist.

Apparently, instead of using the Adobe Acrobat "Redact" feature, they used the highlighter with the colour set to black.

I'm happy to see protests continue. Have a lot of respect and admiration for the people who go out of their way to do that.

When people ask for "who's stopping this?" it goes above that though. Jan 6ers weren't protesting, they were literally marching on their government with the intent to take illegal action to change something they thought was corrupt. It was dumb and they were tricked, but a lot of them thought that. There's no universe where Trump looks at his TV and see's people displeased and he changes his mind. "The will of the people" is not on the Trump agenda. However he leaves, it will almost assuredly have to be by force. Hoping for him to croak before anything gets too bad is not a plan.

Someone (actually multiple people) is going to have to do something illegal. And someone will. I'd prefer it be some people in the Justice Department somewhere, but my guess is there is an actual explosion somewhere before that happens.

Damnit, I was so close when I said they were too stupid to block Ctrl+F. It was Ctrl+A that thwarted them.

Trumpers don't see protests, they see Antifa terrorists.

If Trump's downfall ends up being at the hands of the aggressive incompetence of the administration of clowns that he himself installed, that would sure be poetic.

The Department of Justice actually engaging with Pop Base is close to peak Idiocracy. Maybe one day one of us can #### post into getting a DOJ response...

I see Trump went on another rant last night going after late night talk show hosts, then ended it with "Merry Christmas". What the hell is wrong with that man? It takes a special kind of lunatic to write those kinds of posts around Christmas. They even had a Christmas Truce during World War 1... Trump is just an #######.

So basically, this guy raped children, saw the end of the run coming, and ran for president to evade it? Killing the main guy in prison while president… all the while being compromised because Russia knows all this, so he’s also dabbling in global conflicts and ripping up the USA to tilt the scales towards to historical enemy…

But hey did you know Clinton’s name is involved!?!?!

That Late Show Christmas cartoon must have stuck a nerve. Let’s all watch it again!

Hey whats in that giant pile of boxes you guys?

https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/24/polit...ts-doj-million

The Justice Department on Wednesday said it has uncovered over a million more documents potentially related to the Jeffrey Epstein case and may need “a few more weeks” to review and release them to the public.

The department made the revelation in a post on X, saying the the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the FBI had informed the department of the new documents.

How did he even find the time to rape people while he was so busy with all of this correspondence?

Since it hasn't been posted yet and is fairly new.



Coffeezilla found and revealed the 8th Epstein dataset that wasn't posted publicly. Largely talks about there being 10 co-conspirators which completely changes the narrative of this being an Epstein-Maxwell ring with no other big players.

Also, there are indeed several documents that were not properly redacted, around 900 pages, and you can simply copy the PDF and paste the full unredacted words in a notepad.


https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/23/polit...virgin-islands

 Indyke (Epstein's lawyer and now a lawyer representing Hegseth and Trump)  in particular is significantly involved in bribing, and his name was selectively redacted for unknown reasons.

The theory is that Elon Musk cut Adobe licenses during his DOGE purge which you need to use the redact tool, and rather than properly redact, agents just used a black highlighter. The words are still all there, just covered over.


And sorry, mainstream news can be ridiculously dumb at times.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...s-social-media

There is no hack. This isn't a hack. Stop calling it a hack. Copy pasting words is not a hack.

Either way, the poorly redacted files and 8th dataset only raises many many more questions.
