The man who LET RICH PEOPLE BUY THE ABILITY TO RAPE TODDLERS is a Hero!

Found the pedophile.

The word patriot has lost all meaning. It is a word used to excuse the scum of this country from the most heinous of acts. This moron somehow spun Epstein into a patriot as if he was doing some grand operation to get "dirt on US adversaries" . "Who else gets this prison deal?" Every fucking criminal billionaire including Trump! They all deserve the chair along with anyone that believes their bullshit.

Reposting a comment I made on a similar post about the 180 mental gymnastics MAGA are displaying.

What you're witnessing here is described in When Prophecy Fails, a study on cults and how they justify continued belief after experiencing events that should disprove their belief.

Cult members will simply invent new reasons to continue their belief and remove the cognitive dissonance they may feel, which oddly results in a further entrenched belief, instead of a weakened one.

QAnon was a public exhibition of how this happens with MAGAts. I doubt it does but none of this should surprise anyone

[-] Doom@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 days ago

From the beginning too. remember the deep state bullshit?

They really believe AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and the like are the deep state not the born rich New York scum bag who literally befriends everyone powerful

We have epstein files.

There are no epstein files.

Epstein was a hero.

I hear Epstein was more of a grinder

I don't thing Jeffery Epstein was using Grindr

What if the Epstein files are incredibly damaging to Trump so they say they don't exist so that when the democrats release them they can say that they are fake?

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 130 points 3 days ago

Classic propaganda tactic. Speculating about alternative answers after you already know the answer or when everyone knows where the answer is.

He speculates why did all these rich and powerful people not abandon him? Because he was secretly a good guy? No, you liar, it's because they were his clients so he could blackmail them if he wanted to.

He speculates why did he get favorable terms from previous trials? Because he was secretly a good guy? No, you propagandist liar, it's because he was ultra wealthy and well connected.

If he was secretly a good guy, he wouldn't have offed himself in prison, so there'd be a giant investigation over that.

[-] witchybitchy@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

Epstein didn't kill himself

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I'm not saying whether he did or not. I'm saying that if he was a good guy, he definitely wouldn't, and all of his "chivalrous" friends would be dying to get to the bottom of it.

Trump really painted himself into a corner by promising the QAnons all of the dirt on Epstien, and I'm very curious to see if a narrative like this can dig him out. They'll usually twist reality into knots to keep their narrative alive, but, "Epstien was a white hat," might he a bridge too far, even for them.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 39 points 3 days ago

Doesn't matter.

Remember that "I could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave" line? Turns out he meant "I could rape a child," and these people would STILL love him.

This is their loyalty test now. This is how low this sleeze will take them this week.

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I think that's true for some MAGAs, but the QAnons have invested deeply in the child-trafficking conspiracy. I think if he created a narrative of, "Yes, I'm on the client list, but it was a double agent for the deep state," they would swallow it (most of them already believe some version of that), but telling them that their is no conspiracy and they need to move on will not go over well. (Of course, claiming to be an Epstien double-agent is gonna make him look crazy to anyone not Q-pilled, so he can't do that).

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I think that's already where Newsmax is going (per 1 random post I saw 2 days ago and can't find anymore) calling Epstein possibly an amazing patriot as a CIA/Mossad agent getting intel about... I dunno, the Clintons?

The retcon fantasy is framed up for the Q nuts. I expect they'll find a way to stumble into it on their own.

Edit: found it

So Pizzagate is real, but the Epstein files aren't?

Cult. Endless denial. Forever rejecting reality. What more would it take to have these people given straight jackets?

American suicide bombers and guerilla militias...

It's only a matter of time. It's already happening.. but they call them lone wolf and mentally ill... But it will probably grow... Then they will be called a terrorist group just like every other group that fought for humanity.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

For fuck’s sake.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 51 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Wow, what a nut job. He starts by trying to say maybe Epstein worked for the CIA and was trying to get blackmail on foreign officials for our government. Sir, even if that were true, you should want every member of the CIA using children as rape bait for blackmail in prison. (And the people showing up to use said services.. you know.. the guy your trying to defend)

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

I mean, he's not pulling that out of his ass entirely. The prosecutor who gave Epstien a slap on the wrist in 2007 claimed he only let him off easy because he was told Epstien, "belonged to intelligence." That may be entirely bullshit, or it may he that the intelligence got wind of his sex-trafficking and offered to keep him out of prison if he set up a few honeypots. I would guess that it's at least partially true, since the authorities seem to he withholding a lot of information from the public, but in any case, there's no way he was a CIA agent or, "Patriot."

Why are Democrats not going on the news and taking every opportunity to call the Republicans pedo protectors?

[-] prole 46 points 3 days ago

Because they're so bad at messaging that it comes off as self-sabotage. They've been like this for decades, it's fucking infuriating.

[-] MJKee9@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

[-] abbiistabbii 37 points 3 days ago

Hey wanna know something about Epstein? Alongside being a massive pedophile, he was also a Eugenicist who wanted to make a Musk style baby-mama ranch. He worked with the guy who founded Colossal (the "Direwolf" people, remember that?) with the idea to basically do Eugenics.

Alongside providing children for Trump to rape, that's why the right want to rehabilitate him, because they wanna do Eugenics.

[-] ultranaut@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

I am surprised how few people know about the Epstein breeding ranch. From what I've seen it was his big project before being arrested, he had a massive facility on thousands of acres of land with its own airstrip all ready to go in New Mexico. If he hadn't been arrested and died in jail he would probably be raising his first brood by now. Given how much he tried to spread his eugenicist ideas around in the crowd he hung out with I wouldn't be surprised if there are more deranged assholes out there like him and Musk trying to pull off their own human breeding projects.

There is no list... After the Trump administration removed all of his rich peers from the list, no names were left...so no list.

the amount of mental gymnastics here.

there's a huge gap being skipped from being skipped.

epstein would be complicit and still part of the gang if he's doing what he was told.

[-] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Epstein was CIA under deep cover. He was infiltrating the pedophile ring and he got too close. What a patriot.
