Summary

Donald Trump's name appears in Jeffrey Epstein's recently released flight logs seven times, including flights in 1993 and 1994, some with his then-wife Marla Maples and daughter Tiffany.

The documents were released by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who stated this was the first phase of disclosures regarding Epstein’s network.

Bondi requested additional FBI records on Epstein, citing thousands of undisclosed pages.

Epstein, who died in 2019, had connections to Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew, though no wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged.

Let's be honest: If Epstein was still alive and in prison, he would get a pardon from Trump

[-] Xtallll 103 points 1 month ago

And an appointment to head the children and families administration.

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago

He’d be tasked with redeveloping Trumpland aka Gaza

No wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged.

BECAUSE HE SETTLED THE CIVIL SUIT, A TACIT ADMISSION THAT THEY RAPED A THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD TOGETHER.

I wish the media would just be straight with us. Obligatory "Fuck Reagan".

"No wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged."

FFS

I am alleging it now and have alleged it for years: Donald J Trump joined convicted pedophile and sexual abuser Jeffery Epstein in raping an underage girl.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

raping an underage girl

This is libelous - how dare you imply it was only one?

Why is this a surprise? It's undisputed that trump knew Epstein and hung out with him. He even raped a girl who was also "hanging around" Epstein for lack of a better word.

[-] blattrules@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago

For anyone paying attention, it’s no surprise. To the people who blindly follow him, though…well, they’ll probably never hear about this or just brush it off as some liberal shadow government conspiracy against him.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

His supporters have no trouble making the transition from "it didn't happen" to "it wasn't a big deal".

It's a bit surprising he didn't have them censor all references to him before releasing the files. I'm surprised any time this administration doesn't do the most corrupt and evil thing possible.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Fair. But they’ve already “so what if I did?” whitewashed his association with Epstein already, so releasing the passenger log seems like a non-event to me.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

It’s a bit surprising he didn’t have them censor all references to him before releasing the files.

Why even bother? He could rape a baby and then eat it in front of its mother and his supporters would keep supporting him.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 91 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Donald Trump praised the owner of a sex yacht when he delivered a speech to the Boy Scouts.

He mentioned the owner liked young girls.

You can't make this stuff up.

edit. This was not Epstien, it was another pedophile pal of Trump.

[-] datavoid@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago

That article doesn't mention Epstein?

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago

Silly me. I should have known Trump knew several people with sex yachts.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

He's a sex yacht connoisseur.

I partially think he became so miserable and politically focused because his dick stopped working.

[-] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah it's mostly about some real estate developer called William Levitt, and that creepy bit about "oh you know what they did on that yacht" (paraphrased).

Ahhh so that's why he went apeshit on zelenskyy today. Gotta refresh those headlines.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

he needs a distraction from the epstein stuff, by going apeshit on zelenksy meetings.

[-] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago

Anyone with skill to do a basic Google search can easily see he's a kiddy diddler, no surprise here.

[-] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Dude's an undisguised daughter diddler, so the kiddie part goes without saying

[-] Tja@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago

Noooo. No no no. He was inspecting the teen beauty pageant when he walked into the dressing room full of naked minors. You don't understand. When you're famous, they let you do it!

Anyway, those trans people sure are bad, huh?

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 39 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Unless they release verifiably unredacted/unedited documents (and I'm not sure whether/if verifably unredacted/unedited documents are possible in this circumstance) I'm not going to believe they aren't holding things back out of self preservation anyhow.

The worst possible time for anything like this to be released is during the Trump admin, because now I have to apply an extra layer of skepticism.

I don't even have to go to a conservative sub to know they are or will handwave away his presence on the flight logs, and I know nothing worse is going to be released about Trump or any Trump ally, so what's even the point aside from a witch hunt for all Trump's enemies who somehow will be on the list?

To be clear, I'm sure that Democrats and a disappointingly long list of non-politicians are on that list too, and they should all see the light of day.

[-] figjam@midwest.social 23 points 1 month ago

They are releasing it now so the base forgets about it in two to four years.

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Look at them overachieving when they only need to worry about memories like goldfish.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Well, also the flight logs alone doesn't mean much. It's certainly suspicious, but it's not damning. There was more than one reason to associate with Epstein.

You need more than just flight logs. The suspect would have to say something about "he likes them young, like me" or something similar.

Seven flights—Trump’s past ties to Epstein deserve deeper scrutiny.

[-] Substance_P@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

For a second there I was thinking about the circumstances surrounding Ivana Trump's mysterious staircase death.

[-] electrictrees29@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Isn’t it in a book, that trump shoved her down the stairs? Or maybe I’m confusing that with when he just beat her. IDK

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I don't know why you think that.

It's not like the girl who was raped by Prince Andrew was recruited by Epstein at Mar-a-Lago or anything, right?

TRUMP KILLED EPSTEIN CONFIRMED!

[-] the_q@lemm.ee 26 points 1 month ago

So? You think this will change anything? Just add it to the pile of shit this cheddar-faced fuck has been involved with. It's not like there's a higher authority that can do anything about it. I feel like it's still not setting in for some people just where we are in this collapse. It's over, guys. There is only 1 path forward.

Donald Trump's name appears in Jeffrey Epstein's recently released flight logs seven times

Wow, committed rape at least seven times

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 18 points 1 month ago

Again, I often wonder how much of our current chaos is linked to Epstein lol.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Epstein didn't create the demand for sex trafficking and grooming minors. he "just" exploited it.

Is he a monster? absolutely.

But he didn't create the demand, and the people creating this chaos? they're his clients. After Epstein got caught.... somebody else became the one to provide the service. because there's plenty of monsters wanting to fill that role.

It's one thing for it to be assumed knowledge. But having proof is... Gross.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Jeffrey Epstein is pretty much a mutually assured destruction for many powerful people. I don't expect this to lead anywhere really.

It'll be filed away next to the Panama papers and why JFK was killed.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

It's a brag, he liked the guy.

[-] teri@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago

What a strange universe we live in. The old US: pushing surveillance and police laws to fight terrorism, drug dealers, and pedophiles. The new US: has a president who is of open to terrorism by supporting far right groups and storming the capitol, has a billionaire on his side who really seems to be on some psychoactive substances, and now this.

Well, yeah. He's a rapist. Epstein ran the Disneyworld equivalent of rape attractions. If you're good at football, you go to the Superbowl. If you're good at violence, you go to prison. Trump is good at rape. Of course Trump went to Rapeworld.
