Epstein Files: Some Democrats Are Stepping Up. Fox Is Even Reporting On MAGA Mutiny Over Epstein. [1]

First, some Democrats are stepping up to use the Epstein Files fiasco against Donald Trump. And while some on here may not think this is an important issue, I believe Democrats should attack Trump over his refusal to release the evidence the DOJ has on Epstein (Bill Addis does a spectacular job of showing the sheer volume of evidence seized from Epstein’s homes). It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that there must be some damaging information about Trump in those documents and videos seized. Yes, it may not rise to the level of being evidence used in court, but Trump partied with a pedophile and sexual trafficker of girls. And for some bizarre reason, pedophiles in positions of power seems to be the breaking point for a portion of the MAGA movement.

I say bizarre because this same group of people have ignored Trump’s actions with regards to mass deaths caused by COVID, insurrection on Jan 6th, and the rape of woman, and his overall criminality.

But when your enemy is starting to shout out in pain, it’s time to twist that knife in the gaping wound. And it’s why I have to give a shout out to some congressional Democrats for recognizing the obviousness of seizing on the Epstein scandal. If nothing else, it fans the flames of those burning MAGA hats.

As always, God bless AOC:

x “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” AOC said. — The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast.bsky.social) 2025-07-12T01:30:07.361458Z

She’s fearless and great on messaging. Trump’s a rapist, and why the hell should a rapist who was buddies with a pedophile want to release those files? I’m sure the establisment Democrats were horrified by this because it “gets us off message.” Of course, establishment Democrats like Jeffries are always appalled by AOC.

Senator Jon Ossoff of GA:

x BREAKING: US Senator Jon ossoff just unloaded on Trump over the Epstein scandal. “Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?” — Krassensteins (@krassenstein.bsky.social) 2025-07-12T21:40:11.446Z

Good for him. He’s in for a fight next year, and he’s not afraid to throw a punch! And he looks good on TV. Too bad we cannot find a few other Democratic senators to do the same. And no, there are some who shouldn’t go on TV because they suck at this (Looking at you Senator Schumer). By why not some other Senate Democrats?

We have Congressman Jaime Raskin who says that we should call out Trump and the Republicans on their refusal to release the Epstein files.

Raskin points out that Republicans in Congress can subpoena the Epstein files.

Then, we have Congressman Ro Khanna and his move:

x Representative Ro Khanna (D‑CA) has announced plans to force a vote in the House of Representatives demanding the full, unredacted release of the Epstein files. — Fuck Trump (@benusa.bsky.social) 2025-07-13T13:07:34.952Z

Might be nice to have some more Democrats sing onto this.

And if there are Democrats who are like, “Oh this is so yucky, and it’s not about kitchen table issues!” that need to be sold that there is some definitely smoke with some fire about this issue, look no farther than Fox propaganda is talking about it!

Fox News Hosts Attack Trump Dismissal of Epstein Problem: ‘Ticking Time Bomb’ | Video Both “Fox & Friends Weekend” and “Mediabuzz” call on the president to address the questions of voters

Several Fox News programs have blasted Donald Trump’s continued dismissal of the administration’s ongoing Jeffrey Epstein problem this weekend. As “Fox & Friends Weekend” anchor Kevin Corke put it Sunday, the situation is becoming a “ticking time bomb.”… That sentiment is similar to one expressed Saturday on “Mediabuzz.” Host Howard Kurtz noted that many MAGA voters feel betrayed by Trump’s “refusal to release anything from Jeffrey Epstein.” Guest Sarah Bedford agreed. “I think it’s obvious that this is a huge PR disaster for the Trump administration!” she said. “There’s no way for them to spin their way out of this.”

And Fox online had this up:

MAGA world erupts over Trump's defense of Bondi amid Epstein files fallout President defends AG Bondi's 'fantastic job' while MAGA supporters push for transparency

Now, I know what some of you are probably thinking. MAGA is a cult. True. But even Rick Wilson thinks that there is a segment of MAGA that will not ignore the fact that Trump is covering up his involvement with Epstein.

He knows MAGA very well. And he believes that for those who believe pedophiles in power is a bridge too far won’t simply go back to worshipping Trump. Yes, he points out that for the racists in MAGA their deal with the Devil is “Trump’s fine as long as he hurts and kills black and brown people.” Trump can be a pedophile, and the racists are A OK with that. So are the other haters (anti-women, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Democrats...etc.).

Girls getting raped by men are not a deal breaker for all the haters, as long as they get to see the BLOOD of their enemies being spilled.

But any rolling waves in the MAGA cesspool is fine with me. Trump promised a bunch of people who only seem to care that there might be a ring of powerful pedophiles on the loose that Trump would arrest those pedophiles. As Rick Wilson put it, Trump promised public hangings of those powerful, connected perverts. And yes, they were supposed to be Bill and Hillary Clinton and a bunch of other Democrats.

Well, no one is going to prison, except Ghislaine Maxwell, who Trump is seriously considering giving a pardon to. Wilson is hearing from sources that Trump really wants to pardon Maxwell. My bet is that Maxwel has kept her mouth shut because she wants that pardon.

Would the Orange God Emperor be stupid enough to pardon Maxwell? You bet he would! My guess is that it will happen in late November of 2026, after the midterms.

Anyway, it’s the latest and greatest of this scandal for Trump.
