Why would they comply when nobody has enforced any consequences for anything else illegal they've done either
Take note of how quickly nothing is done about this.
He's busy starting an illegal war, give him a break.
There is a term for countries where corrupt, criminal regimes can do whatever they want and the wealthy elites can indulge their degenerate desires: banana republics.
To be precise, that term means they are being exploited by another, wealthier country. The USA have become their own banana republic.
I would suggest "meta Banana Republic". That seems quite fitting to me because it clearly highlights the self-referential nature of the exploitation (albeit by private individuals rather than other countries) – and besides, with his social media empire, Zuckerberg is both one of the beneficiaries and provides a significant part of the propaganda machine that somehow still ensures that many people do not recognize the bitter reality.
Well, MAGAts have been saying it for long that the US isn't a democracy but a republic. I guess the banana, like with measurements, was implied.
Who redacts the redactmen?
"Those responsible for redacting the people who have just been redacted, have been redacted."
Just ypur average Tuesday news headline
Lemon, it's Monday
There are no consequences for anyone in the federal government now. Legality is for scholars to debate, not something enforced.
So who's going in a cell for this?
Put the pedo king in a cell
The EPA allows pollution. The FDA bans medicine. The Justice Department protects criminals. The IRS audits the poor.
Are we Great Again yet?
Consequences?
Hahahaha
The whole point of the epstein law is to make it appear there is some political struggle left. Pseudoquences.
Of all the crimes Trump and MAGA is guilty of, sexually abusing underage girls is the least important. The least consequential for the long term prosperity or even survival of the species. That's why there is so much focus on this instead on the important things.
Even if they could "get" Trump because of the pedophilia, it would still be a catastrophic loss. But he's going to die in office, without ever seeing justice and most of their agenda 2025 will continue and not be reversed even if democrats had full control.
Consequences
Hey, hey now, listen, don't worry your silly head about that. Look, the US just illegally kidnapped a head of state. Isn't that exciting? Go focus on that hot new story, don't worry about this old nonsense.
Impeach
Sir, the reason is, it makes our president look incredibly guilty.
"What is anybody going to do about it? The cops are in OUR pocket, not yours"
Nothing will happen. The country is at war and that's all anyone gives a shit about.
Congress hasn't declared war. The country is engaged in illegal military operations.
And they haven't moved to impeach.
The house has brought articles of impeachment twice in 2025. The Republicans refuse to impeach.
Consent is being manufactured,
Congress will support the fascists like they always have
That's the strange part here. They may have moved too fast. There may not be a reason to have a war, which is what Trump specifically doesn't want. He wants a war, because he thinks we won't have elections if we are at war.
And it doesnt matter if they violate the law.
They've violated the law thousands of times in this past year.
Violating the law means nothing if theres no will or ability to hold them accountable. Without accountability, the law is worthless.
"Oh, you're rich and/or powerful? Carry on!"
Ye, but did you hear they got Maduro a look to get Greenland next?
