Would you trust a man that wears that hat that to run anything?

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 18 points 2 hours ago

So there is a list with names, after all.

Let's see!

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 hour ago

"Wait, no, no list. Well there is an Epstein list but it's a hoax list. A huge tremendous hoax by the crooked evil Demogorgons. No, the democrats.
I watched stranger things.
My uncle, who was a script writer at Yale, great guy, best scripts, he said the strangest thing was to trust anything that a democrat would say.
No hoax, no Epstein. No list. There is a hoax. Fake news. MAGA. Thank you for your attention to this muttered!!"

[-] mcv@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago

There's no list, and it was made by the democrats, and some of the people on it don't deserve to be on it, but Bill Clinton is on it too, so that's why I won't release the list that doesn't exist.

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 hour ago

I commented then went to read the article annnnnd Holy fuck. Any cunt who wears a hat that says "I was right about everything" unironically needs to have their hands chopped off.
Christ, a 7 foot sack of flesh eating cockroaches is more useful than that fucking cunt.
Fucks sake, america, do something about him.

Bill Clinton was on his plane and went to the island supposedly 28 times. I don’t want to bring that up frankly,” Trump said while bringing it up.

Ok, that is just top notch comedic journalism.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 23 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Does anyone on this entire planet actually, truly believe this guy isn't a pedophile that raped kids?

Like, we all know. Shut the fuck up, Trump. Even your own base knows, and some of them are mad about it (the rest are cowards, or perhaps pedophiles themselves.)

[-] sdcSpade@lemmy.zip 11 points 5 hours ago

Yes, those would be the victims. Anything else?

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 37 points 7 hours ago

Funny how he wasn't saying anything about it being a Dem hoax when he was pandering for votes.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 25 points 7 hours ago

Trumps in the list! This needs to be continually posted and said everywhere. Till his dying breath it needs to be told, even after this POS is gone it will be said, Trump is on the list!

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago
[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 33 points 8 hours ago

Telling his MAGAt morons that he's on the list and they should just get over it...

I mean haven't they decided that maybe 14 years old is ok?

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 7 points 7 hours ago

No, they haven't. Until it's law they're cowards - they don't legally bind the in-group and protect them. They do legally bind the out group and don't protect them.

If they didn't think anything was wrong with it, they'd put everything in law. The fact they don't means they know they're fucked up, but we all have to live with the damage.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 44 points 9 hours ago

people are in Epstein files who ‘don’t deserve to be’: ‘It’s a Democratic hoax’

You don't need to be a detective to read between those lines: the Epstein files are fucking STUFFED with republicans and the type of human trash Trump associates with.

We all know the list is bipartisan, but this tell me they're worried about the ratio.

...if only we had a criminal justice system.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

...if only we had a criminal justice system.

Yea, we've just got a criminal system.

[-] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 297 points 12 hours ago

Wait....now there are files again?

[-] minnow@lemmy.world 204 points 12 hours ago

Right? Headline should really read "Trump admits Epstein list is real, defends some of the people on it."

[-] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 22 points 9 hours ago

He is really worried about it - for sure. The amount of cover fire insanity has increased dramatically. I just can't believe that out of all those FBI guys no one yet has leaked anything.

[-] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 95 points 11 hours ago

...also raped kids

[-] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 10 hours ago

I think the list was really the fly log, and black notebook.

Those already were published.

But FBI has 700GB of files that trump promised to make available. Now that he closed the investigation workout charging anytime (Maxwell had trial during Biden) then there shouldn't be problem to release it, shouldn't it?

[-] Joeffect@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

No, he's projecting that he shouldn't be in them but is... even though they don't exist...

Few weeks back the GOP led house oversight committee voted to subpoena the Epstein files. DNC members won the vote with GOP members who had publicly demanded the files release. The POS GOP chairman tried his slimiest to ignore the rest of the committe but was eventually brow beaten into submission -like the pathetic worm he is.

This week they received the first batch of files and are reviewing them.

They appear file-like.

It's a matter of interpretation.

I was helping at a restaurant when I asked "What does C.C. mean on this order?"

The waitress said, "Coca-Cola."

The hostess said, “Credit Card.”

The cook said, "Chocolate cake."

The bartender said, Canadian Club."

The accountant said, "Carbon Copy."

I always thought it meant cubic centimeters.

There’s audio of him years ago saying the stuff about him in the Epstein files are lies

[-] Maiq@lemy.lol 87 points 11 hours ago

trumps-Epstein prayer:

Im not in the Epstein files.

And if I was in the Epstein files, it wasn't that bad.

And if being in the Epstein files is bad, its no big deal.

If it is a big deal that I was in the Epstein files, it's democrats fault. <--- We are here

And if it's my fault I was in the Epstein files, I didn't mean to rape children.

If i did mean to rape children, it's all of your faults.

[-] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 44 points 11 hours ago

If i did mean to rape children, it's ~~all of your faults~~ their fault for "dressing that way" or whatever

FTFY. 100% think he'll go the "asking for it" route like most rapists.

[-] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago

"Very mature for their age"

"It's legal in some places."

"All throughout history..."

They'll lap it up, too. I've seen footage of the H man so geeked out on pervitin (legal methamphetamine in Nazi Germany) he was shaking like a leaf and chewing his mustache. While viewing one of his military parades. Fascist leaders can do no wrong. It's just interpreted as proof of his power and that he can do whatever he wants and can get away with anything.

Fortunately for the US, there is not as homogeneous of a population as in the European fascist countries of history. He is still vulnerable to being ousted until the whole project 2025 is enacted.

[-] doughless@lemmy.world 21 points 11 hours ago

When you're rich and powerful, it's all their fault because they want you to grab them by the pussy.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 49 points 11 hours ago

All they did was rape children, they don’t deserve to have their reputations damaged!

[-] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 61 points 11 hours ago
[-] nimble 11 points 9 hours ago

What a stupid fucking hat on a rapist, pedophile, felon, fascist piece of shit.

Cult of personality brainwashing 101

[-] bluecat_OwO@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

his cap says "trump was right about everything"

Brother you have contradicted everything that has ever come out of your mouth pussy, wdym xD

[-] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 40 points 11 hours ago

Epstein's Child Raping friends are GOOD PEOPLE!

-Republicans LITERALLY!

[-] III@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago

Ohhh... so Putin is in the Epstein files along with Trump. That makes sense.

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

Probably one of the few people I'd expect not to be on the list. I wouldn't be surprised he's a child abusing pedo, but he doesn't need to go halfway across the world to find vulnerable children the entire post soviet bloc is filled with them.

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 8 hours ago

Nah, I don't think Putin is that stupid.

I mean I'm sure Putin is a scum bag just like the rest of them, but he's not going to fly to a Kompromat farm controlled by his nation's enemies.

[-] Maiq@lemy.lol 5 points 8 hours ago

Id bet he has his own farm. I've said it before, the P tape isn't about urine.

[-] dickalan@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Yeah, definitely, this was some Astroturfed effort to manipulate the media

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 43 points 12 hours ago

You could prove that if you'd release the files, Don...

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 35 points 11 hours ago

That stupid hat is like a modern Dunce Cap from a hundred years ago to let everyone know who the idiot is.

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 18 points 11 hours ago

People didn't used to wear that willingly though. We've come a long way to today's self identifying idiots.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 18 points 11 hours ago
[-] chosensilence@pawb.social 20 points 11 hours ago

alright, so it didn't exist, but now that it does you should know there are innocent people unfairly mentioned even though before i won again i said every person on the list should be exposed.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 20 points 11 hours ago

How would he know that lol

[-] moody@lemmings.world 14 points 11 hours ago

Deserve? How does one end up on those files if one does not "deserve" it?

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 hours ago

He genuinely believes that everyone that he associates with are inherently "good" people who occasionally do bad things.

Anyone who is dissimilar to him and others in the ruling class are inherently "bad" people who may do good things but also of course usually do bad things.

Bad people must be punished, or at least subjugated so they can earn the right to participate in a society supporting the good people. Good people shouldn't get caught up in the occasional bad things they do.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 12 points 10 hours ago

If it's good for him like gaining extra seats by redistricting Texas with blatant gerrymandering, he "deserves" it. If it's bad for him like being predominantly named in a neutral investigation with his well-documented relationship with a pedophile human trafficker and patronage of his services, he doesn't "deserve" it.

Trump is a narcissist who surrounded himself with sycophants. He is so far removed from reality at this point he should be locked in a padded cell.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

LOL, a "Democratic hoax" that his dumbfuck supporters have been chattering about for years now and never seem to let up on. Maybe he should ask his own FBI how this hoax came about.
