Newly released files show how Maria Farmer, who worked for Mr. Epstein in the 1990s, had urged the F.B.I. to investigate him. The case went nowhere for years.

    I’m saying that lemmy has a lot of people who make excuses for democrats no matter what they do, as a response to some preposterous bullshit about democrats never appointing an FBI chair. Misinformation that no one seems to have much of a problem with and that has like 80 upvotes despite being an outright lie.

      You said the consensus, not just a lot of people. You’re moving goalposts now that you’ve been called out.

      How’s that for fact checking

        Can’t even rephrase something without the people who support dishonesty to protect democrats from criticism nitpicking.

            I’m talking about you particularly in this case. If democrats look bad, you look for excuses and they don’t have to be true.

              Oh, I know that’s what you’re trying to paint me as, but given that’s not how I operate, your attempts to distract from your disinformation campaign with this shift to ad hominem disinfo is pretty laughably transparent

                your attempts to distract from your disinformation campaign

                It’s not disinformation to correctly say that democrats have appointed FBI directors. Even if that makes centrists look bad.

                  I never said it was. And given that you obvit can’t seem to follow the conversation you’re participating in, I’m done.

      And we’re arguing against your thesis. Most all Lemmy communities are, at the very least, highly sympathetic towards leftists and somewhat hostile towards neoliberals.

        And repeatedly ignoring the glaring example of someone making shit up to excuse the clinton administration’s negligence about clinton’s buddy epstein.

        There’s always someone on lemmy to make excuses for the worst shit democrats do. Always.

          I’ve never commented on that person playing into and broadcasting obvious dem\neolib propaganda but I agree with you that they’re either deeply mistaken or, worse, lying.

          There’s always someone on lemmy to make excuses for the worst shit democrats do. Always.

          Of course there is. There’s people on Lemmy making excuses for literal fucking Nazi’s. What’s your point? That Lemmy contains manifold people\opinions? Oh no…

            Congratulations on admitting that their excuse exists at all and wasn’t factually correct. After significant prompting.

            Of course there is. There’s people on Lemmy making excuses for literal fucking Nazi’s. What’s your point?

            That it happens too often and in favor of too much reprehensible shit.
