and party nominees for president who "aren't mentioned in the Epstein files". It's out of place and seems rather forced. Although I cannot speak to the OP's actual intent, it seems reasonable to conclude that the premise of the post was to draw a direct comparison between the current Republican President (and lack of morality and honor) to draw a stark contrast with previous DEMOCRATIC Presidents, Democratic Vice Presidents, and Democratic party nominees for POTUS. For the purpose of making that comparison and contrast... it's unnecessary to create some sort of comprehensive directory that lists EVERY public figure whose name doesn't appear. Based on this, including Bernie Sanders was out of place. --- So... how's that, Jack?

construct up.

The OP just had one pic, a pic of VP Harris, not multiple Democratic presidents/VP's.nor did it mention that was a delineation in re the post.

Bernie and AOC are the 2 most influential leaders of the Democratic progressive wing of our Party, a wing that has tens of millions of supporters within the big tent of the Democratic Party.

These people should be identified.

There should be a special prosecutor appointed.

There should be grand jurys appointed.

Thu Nov 13, 2025, 12:44 PM
Nov 13

I was the elected attorney general of California. And before that, I was a courtroom prosecutor. In those roles, I took on predators of all kinds... . Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So, hear me when I say ... I know Donald Trump's type. As a young prosecutor, when I was in the Alameda County District Attorney's Office in California, I specialized in cases involving sexual abuse. Donald Trump was found liable by a jury for committing sexual abuse."

Hillary and Kamala both are thousands of times better than any GOP candidate, and with regard to that POS in the White House now, he isn't fit to even be in the same room with either of them. I get so mad knowing they were both cheated. All of those who voted for this abomination or those who didn't vote because "they're all the same", shame on you.
