    I guess you’ll never see “grape donut” then because of “grape donut”.

        Considering there are only a few instances of don't being redacted, I think it’s much more likely the regex was correct, but in this case the OCR missed the apostrophe

      Trump and his administration have already disregarded Congress’s directive. What makes you think that another order to release their redaction criteria will be respected?

      I mean we’ve already seen them upload docs mentioning Trump, then take them down, and reupload them with his name censored. We have concrete proof that they’re doing this. It is huge, but most of us already know it.

        The only people who care and want that obese child rapist to be brought to justice are the ones who have no power to do so.
        The ones who have that power are either complicit at best, or kiddie rapists themselves. There’s no other acceptable explanation.

      not with very quick scans, but its a lot to get through and each censor block like that need a fair bit of context too.

    it seems like a stretch tbh. might be easier to start by justifying the assumption he would be referred to as “don t” in the first place. or find some other examples. one strange unexplained redaction of the word “don’t” does not by itself constitute evidence of what you suggest. there’s already plenty of good reasons to believe donald “the john” trump raped a whole bunch of children and that the criminal justice department is covering up his crimes without reaching for this.

        oh i guess you know how things seem to me better than i do. thats my bad.

        i tell you what though, despite the thoughtfulness of your reply, and the eloquence with which it was expressed, i think i will decline to take you up on your advice. you’re quite welcome to it, however.

          Alright, what is that word supposed to be that’s redacted?

          Assuming it’s someone’s name, obviously, why are they redacted?

              Why would it be censored otherwise? You didn’t say why. It just happened to match Trump’s name, though. Weird. Curious, even. It definitely wasn’t a victim’s name or anything like that, was it?

                it doesn’t match trump’s name though. it sortof matches trump’s name in a weird shortening i’ve never seen before.

                It definitely wasn’t a victim’s name or anything like that, was it?

                no, context makes it obvious that the word censored was “don’t” which i already acknowledged.

                Weird. Curious, even.

                yes it is weird. it does make me curious. but by itself, that’s all it is. just weird.

                start by justifying the assumption he would be referred to as “don t” in the first place. or find some other examples.

                it’s not for the skeptic to prove the negative. the claimant needs to meet a burden of proof to defeat the null hypothesis first. there are a dozen other entirely plausible ways to explain this. accidents happen. people make mistakes, yes even nazis covering up the most heinous child sex crimes.

                one strange unexplained redaction of the word “don’t” does not by itself constitute evidence of [doj being caught auto censoring “Don T”]

                like, maybe? sure it could be the first drop of a bucketful of evidence that supports the claim. or maybe it’s just the thing you already wanted to believe. maybe this single unqualified outlier is just a coincidence. comb through those millions of pages and show a pattern matching this claimed behavior. you say it seems like the thing that happened? cool, then you’ll be able to show other instances that show a pattern of “don’t” being redacted.

                if you wanna ask me a question i’ll be glad to answer. if you arent satisfied by my answer i’ll explain a different way. if you show me im wrong i’ll spin my beliefs around on a dime and thank you for the correction.

                but address me in a civil tone next time you reply. i didnt slap your mom, you got no reason to be talking to me like you have been. i dont have to spend time out of my day explaining the burden of proof or the basics of skeptical inquiry to you, and i dont choose to continue in dialogue with a partner who has decided to be stubborn, snarky, belligerent, belittling, deliberately provocative, and knowingly sarcastically hypocritical in any event.

                  It does match his name. This was a regex search, looking for variations (Don/Donald + T). This is some newbie shit regex searching because this regime hires fucking dipshits. They probably did a search for don(ald)? (t.*)? because they are morons and just blanked out whatever it found. This isn’t even a smart redaction. There isn’t another option that fits as perfectly as “don t” (And I think anyone would bet thousands on that being the exact spelling censored.) So, yes, it is evidence that they are censoring instances of Trump’s name. You might not like it, but this is basic regex search failing that a first job programmer would do because their standards are paste-eaters and wife-beaters. Sorry that you feel that it isn’t evidence, but it definitely is, and you have no counterpoint to that.

                  Regardless, bad faith actors (like yourself) always attack the attitude and never the substance and pretend to be victims, so I don’t particularly feel bad for you. I frankly believe you should be banned from this site for your fake haughtiness.

            Also, imagine a mod deleting my comment for being mean to someone about the EPSTEIN FILES. Holy shit, some people are fucking fragile.

              what does the comment being about the epstein files have to do with not being a dick. like, the mod knew it was about the epstein files the whole time. its in the comm name. they chose to put that rule in anyway? smh some people are so fragile.
