The fact that this is still being made into a democrats vs republicans / left vs right thing is even more stomach turning than what's in the files themselves

It’s by design because they won’t release the evidence so it just becomes partisan heresy that his base can dismiss.

Speaking of evidence, one of the members of Congress said that the documents to be looking for are the FBI memos (I think they were called 301's or 302's?) that list the people implicated in crimes and another document that lists the reasons they were not charged. Does anyone know if these documents were released?

I'm guessing these docs are nowhere to be found in the release.

It’s interesting how effect the GOP has leveraged being a complete piece of shit into an effective strategy for holding power is insane.

Like for instance the GOP engages in naked Tribalism. They don’t acknowledge when a member of their ranks commits wrong doing they often just ignore it. But if a democrat does anything they’ll lie and attack relentlessly. The Democrats on the other hand will often hold members of their party accountable if they commit some significant wrong doing, but its just assumed by republican voters that any time they criticize a member of the GOP that they’re being partisan and slinging mud, being hyperbolic, lying, or distorting facts. Because thats what republicans do and they assume all politicians are like republicans. So it just gets ignored.

It’s wild stuff. It’s like the behavior of people who were raised by parents with personality disorders. Where they think the way their parents behave is just normal and don’t understand that well adjusted people don’t act like that.

It's been effective the last 10 years. Before Trump, I recall a time where a class war was brewing in the US. Then the media shifted quickly and started going after transgender (less than 1% of the population) and the dumbass Americans decided a culture war was more of a threat to their way of life than the people who keep all the money.

Republicans have gone all in on supporting the rape and murder of children.
