General Discussion

Decades ago, I joined the DU community for the express purpose of documenting what was the Plame scandal. A solid group of DUers began the "Plame threads," that included some mighty impressive research by several members. That information was shared on other sites. I'm thinking that is something that we should be doing with the Epstein scandal. For as Neil Young sang, there's "more to the picture, than meets the eye."

Since a significant number of maga are also demanding the Epstein files be released, and feel betrayed that the felon is refusing, the truth about that chapter can help them understand that they have been had, by interests that have no interest in them. Theyhave been played. This reality will result in their failure to vote for the maga-ites in DC in 2026. It doesn't matter if their numbers appear relatively small, or if they vote for non-republicans or not at all. For it only takes a small percentage of them to change election results.

We are in a strange new territory. In recent years, the number of registered independents has outnumbered either of the traditional parties. Democrats still outnumber republicans, of course, which is a good thing. But there is another "party" -- that of billionaires/corporations -- that enjoy too much influence over elections by way of groups they funnel money through. Some are domestic, and others foreign. I think it is worth our examing further.
