They will never release them. The distraction will morph into all the electoral subterfuge they will attempt as they increasingly fear losing power at the polls. They know what's in those files and what will happen to them if they lose in 2028. Thus they will be even more incentivized to behave badly.

If gas prices double from here it will be less stupid distraction and more overt authoritarianism... the ICE question has not been settled. ICE is still violating your neighbors and making a mockery of what is supposed to be a society of free people. They merely thought the overt city takeovers and shooting Americans in the head had become a bad look that wasn't worth it politically. The persistence of this calculus is not inevitable.

If anyone is interested in a less biased and perverted version of the above comment...

99.9% of ICE operations occur without a hitch or violation. ICE is not executing Americans. 2 irrational and aggressive media-brainwashed people got killed by other people trying to do a job and cracking under fear and pressure.

ICE scale-up is a stunt that accomplishes nothing but placating Trump's base. It will deport a pointless percentage of what was let in during 2021-2025.

'Overt city takeovers' Uh huh. Toootally. Moving on:

Both parties are sick with revolving door greed, and play games for seats. Both parties hide the Epstein files and always will. Acting as if one party cares more about hiding them is extremely laughable. Mind you the Epstein files have been in FBI possession for 15+ years at this point. Also, Trump was close friends with Epstein.. b-but we don't have proof he did anything! ....just common sense.

Neither party cares about you. Your vote does not matter. You don't choose the candidates that are endorsed by either party into the primaries, nor the candidates that spend more, nor the media spin that accompanies them. Both parties are rife with fraud and insider trading. Money rules politics.

What can you do? Make 6 figures and above to rise above having to be horribly affected by our poor system, that's all you can and should do. This isn't nihilism. It's acceptance, realism, and rationality. Make enough money and you are now in one of the best countries on Earth. Don't make enough and you're not. But don't for one second think that this is fixable, or 'the other side'. That is pure idealistic, low intelligence, high emotion, embarrassing nonsense.

Not being aware of the above, and yet commenting on politics, means you are a fool who has not employed critical thinking. And you're a fuel of danger to people who increasingly become pointlessly radicalized. People should feel nothing but contempt for the opinionated AND uninformed. These are the real cancer.

It's a joke.
