I have spent hours looking through the files and some of the stories are absolutely disgusting. I am having such a hard time because so many citizens don't even know how awful they get and they aren't all even fully released... I am close to feeling like we need pitchforks, torches and shovels if this justice system won't actually do anything... He had a ranch where a witness wrote in saying there are TWO bodies located on the property and they haven't even reported that in the media. I'll link that one below too. It's just so... Horrible. We can't just pretend this doesn't exist... but idk what happens next for the United States and the world. It's not something a country just moves on from.

Blackmail definitely isn't unique to this situation. The US has specific provisions for conflicts of interest to safeguard against this kind of blackmail because they know it happens. MAGA simply ignore it all and was allowed to. Power finds a way and blackmail is as old as politics.

    I am sure it's not unique, do we have any more historical examples we can point to though? All I have is the borgia pope.

    Yeah what you have a lot of them on the tip of your tongue? I can't think of any that have been exposed as such, not off the top of my head.

    Lester Hunt, Hoover, MLK, Dalia Star, Chicken and Bull, even Marie Antoinette? CIA ops have done all kinds of blackmail over the years.

    Oh shit, I knew about Hoover, I should've thought of that. I've been accusing the president of being a career blackmailer since his first term, in a hoover-esque trove. Although besides King I didn't know specifics of any of his blackmail just that he had a huge trove.

    The president's birthday note to epstein all but said they were both blackmailers. The creepy one written inside the outline of a pre pubescent girl, not so subtle if you ask me. Such an enigma. A child raping enigma.
