Not only was Trump intimately close to Jeffrey Epstein, but there is a wealth of reporting tying the billionaire pedophile to intelligence circles. Trump is once again protecting the elites he claimed he would fight on the campaign trail.

That's because he fucked a child. Just to be clear. That's the reason.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

He let Epstein use Mar a Lago as a 'recruiting ground' for a fucking decade.

Not only did Trump very obviously partake in this evil business, he was a fucking integral part to facilitating it.

Every time you hear any Trumpoid cabinet member mention that Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar a Lago... yeah, yeah that's after a fucking decade of him disappearing women and girls from there, there's no fucking way he didn't know what was going on, he just kicked him out when he got too sloppy and tried to fuck the daughter of someone Trump was trying to impress.

You make it sound like it was a one-time occurrence

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (8 children)

It can't be proven one way or another, but just a little thought exercise -- if they had Trump dead to rights, fucking a child, definitive proof like video or something, don't you think the Biden administration would have whipped that's out as soon as possible?

That administration hated Trump, and tried everything to silence him, jail him. Some people tried to murder him. Don't you think we would have seen definitive evidence of Trump having sex with an underage girl, girls?

[–] [email protected] 55 points 2 days ago (1 children)

tried everything to silence him, jail him

We have wildly different definitions of "everything". President MegaUltraChicken would have had him black bagged and tossed in solitary as a national security risk immediately. The mother fucker stole nuclear secrets. He should never see the light of day again.

Not to mention most of his lackeys got to sneak away untouched. Literally most of not all of the GOP Congress should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned.

The Biden administration didn't do shit to attack Trump.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The biden administration was even kind enough to hire the most limp-dicked milquetoast individual in the entire country to lead the DoJ

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

Exactly. Look at Mangione. THAT'S the government going after someone.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

They ignored a load of other really massive crimes from Trump’s first administration—why would they have gone after him for this one?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

because it's not just about trump, it's about Trump, elite political donors that donate to both parties, etc. It's the same reason why Trump admin won't release the list either.

By your logic, doesn't this prove that no Democrat is on the list as well or else Trump would just release it? It's almost like America has owners and they are the ones that don't want it out, in addition to trump, clinton, whoever.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As soon as they toss one name, they acknowledge there are a list of names. As soon as there is a list of names, you gotta release the whole list.

Neither party wants that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

That's fair.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Putin has that 100%

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You're conflating an honorable, law abiding administration, with Donny 2 Dolls regime. All the crap that Donny 2 Weeks is pulling right now, and you really think people were trying to frame him??? You are criminally blind, magat.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, I'm just saying. If there was evidence, wouldn't they have been eager to trot it out in front of everyone? Or leak it? Being honorable & law abiding has nothing to do with it, I'm saying, if it was in there wouldn't literally all the Democrats love to leak it out there? By any & all means?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe all the stuff we've heard about Donny Mushroom Dick, IS what was leaked? It's just Garland was extremely slow and cowardly, and didn't want to ACT against a fellow republikkklan. Then the election happened. So we have not really seen all the evidence yet. Some did come out in his New York trials, but in the end, the election perverted the result. Biden's mistake was appointing Federalist Society member Merrick Fucking Garland, who said he didn't want to seem political in his prosecutions, and as a result did exactly nothing for 4 years against ANY higher ranked R. For example, Matt Gaetz was a fucking gimme, but Garland declined to prosecute! I will always curse Biden for that massive mistake.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I thought the Gaetz thing was that he certainly paid a friend for what seemed like prostitution but they could prove crossing state lines so they kicked it to Florida who said they wouldn’t prosecute?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Sounds like you know a lot more than was public. All the stuff on media suggested it was an open and shut case, but Merrick Fucking Garland declined to proceed with the prosecution on the basis that Gaetz's wingman Greenburg, and the un-named minor child were unreliable witnesses. It was a federal case, but maybe there were state implications too. Regardless, it was yet another massive failure by Fucking Garland, who definitely politicized the DoJ, regardless of his BS "without fear or favor" BS speech. Fuck him! Trump is a born cunt and can only act like a cunt. Garland CHOSE to pervert JUSTICE.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

don’t you think the Biden administration would have whipped that’s out as soon as possible?

Nope, Biden was too nice and that was his biggest downfall

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

The guy who had never ending rallys and TV appearances was silenced?

The real Deep State is the massive pedophile ring of the rich and famous.

The intelligence rumors are bunk.

Yes, It's possible that Epstein shared compromising information about people to law enforcement in exchange for protection but that's it. The cover and financial support he got was from people had had dirt on

NUMEROUS people close to him knew he taped all his guests having sex, knew that he kept details on them and their families. When he was arrested the first time they found cash, a fake passport and DVDs with names on them and videos of sex

Epstein wasn't some genius financier, he didn't earn his money; he got it from manipulating and taking advantage of people in his circles.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Read One Nation Under Blackmail, it makes a good case for his ties to intelligence and organized crime.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But the idea that he was an intelligence agent or anything more than a source in exchange for his own protection is ridiculous.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I don't think he was ever a sworn agent, but more like a trained asset.

Well that's a show I haven't thought of in a long time. Drawn Together

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I love that scene.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Trump and Epstein fucked children together

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

We need Anonymous to find this list

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m surprised he doesn’t just release it with him and his friends names removed. Although he could leave his name in and his MAGA worshippers wouldn’t care

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

They tried to have his name scrubbed, that's why it took months to get the announcement that there's nothing in it. Presumably, he was so integral to the entire operation that scrubbing any mention of Trump would effectively scrub the entire document—this is the result

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

After reading that article, there's every reason in the world for Trump to supress the documents. Too bad his idiot fans won't turn on him no matter how many times he hurts them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Call it a conspiracy, but I think trump did something extremely bad... Like to the American people I think he did something evil. ...I think he sucked Epstein's dick.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yup. We all know who's at the top of the list. Trump and Clinton are well known womanizers and flat out perverts especially Trump there's so weird shit with his daughter than is between him and God I'm sure.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

What did you expect? MAGA is pro-pedophile and a majority of them probably are pedophiles too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

ICE raids = distract from his ties to Epstein.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Allegedly Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) Knows exactly what’s in the documents. Feel free to call his office at (503) 326-7525, or use the online form https://www.wyden.senate.gov/contact/email-ron

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The Wyden story was about one specific case. Not the entirety of the files.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Still. Release it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm from OR, where is your source?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

If trump had wanted to release the files... He wouldn't have had him killed in the first place

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I don't get why he cares so much about his name being on the documents. He's not going to lose a single supporter, so why does it matter?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Drain the swamp right into my bigger one!
