    Okay seriously is it Elon? Why are they finally fucking attacking this again when we have KNOWN for two decades at least. Why is this news again? Who is pushing this? I want to know WHY it’s suddenly sacrifice trump time. I have no love for him but this doesn’t just happen.

      Because he didn’t release the files, said they didn’t exist, and then said they were created by the democrats. It’s the Streisand effect. So people are applying pressure by finding what they can without him

        Ah, the old blood. That makes sense. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last 10 years it’s that it doesn’t matter if we have the information and evidence. It matters if the news is willing to play your story and spin it for you

          So which network billionaires does he rub elbows with?

          You’re absolutely right. Truth doesn’t matter, networks push certain stories and remove other stories.

      I think it’s Elon.

      Trump also pays outsized mind to social media in general and Twitter in particular.

      It went from locker room talk with him acting offended children were being harmed (also by “illegals”) to why won’t he release the records.

      His baddy status is more confirmed.

      I think trump is just a walking loyalty test. They’re allowing this to continue to make DAMN SURE of who’s willing to support him absolutely no matter what.
