Somehow I don't think the people who voted for a felon rapist traitor conman are going to care if he fucked some kids.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

Oh I've heard LOTS of conservatives beg for the files. I was like "you know it won't end well for you right"

I intend to remind them

[-] Kekzkrieger@feddit.org 15 points 3 weeks ago

Still wont get released like ever. And even if, they wont believe it.

its either planted for them, or fake news, or he was thinking she was 18 or whatever. Nothing can change their mind because they lost their ability to think

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

too many other powerful people all over the world are involved.

[-] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 weeks ago

“Well I mean, look where she was? On Epstein private island? Basically asking for it”

Ick. I would expect something like that from that crowd. Some excuse to make it ‘ok’

Vomit

well Clinton’s on there too

GOOD. If he is, he should get nailed for it. I’m not a fucking Clinton fanboi.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

They'll make excuses, like they always do.

If you took a time machine back 15 years and explained to them that they'd be making excuses for felons, rapists and people running plays from the Nazi playbook, they'd refuse to believe you. But here we are. Running interference for kiddy diddlers is the next logical step in their devolution.

Conservatives cannot be trusted with power.

[-] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

They still are on r/conservative. I checked today. Some are saying they thought it was shady that Trump said he’d release them then all of a sudden he went silent on the matter.

They are all over the place now.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

they are willing to ignore the trump ones, who is the most prolific visitor of epstein island.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 52 points 3 weeks ago

Man, this is great.

I knew they'd fall out eventually, because they're all so inherently unlikeable, but this one's gonna be a doozy.

And I'm going to be here cheering it on like a playground fight.

[-] Steve@communick.news 35 points 3 weeks ago

I thought we knew that already, given their close history.

[-] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 21 points 3 weeks ago

Anyone not willingly plugging their ears knows this.

[-] Steve@communick.news 3 points 3 weeks ago

I guess what I mean is, why was this posted as "News"?

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Because this is the first actual confirmation that he's named, beyond all the circumstantial evidence

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago

This is not actual confirmation.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago
[-] GoobyMcMooby@lemmy.zip 30 points 3 weeks ago

Duh. So is Musk. Those were some expensive karate lessons Ghislaine hooked him up with. No matter. Continue to eat one another. Then enter a permanent K Hole.

[-] sndmn@lemmy.ca 29 points 3 weeks ago

Of course he is. He's a rapist who's raped numerous children.

[-] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 weeks ago

One wonders if musk actually has any special information about this, and if so, how he got said information.

[-] Alaik@lemmy.zip 35 points 3 weeks ago

Not like he had a bunch of unsecured illegal access to almost all of our institutions.

[-] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Right? Accessing non-public information related to legal proceedings could very well be breaking the law. This is the sort of thing that could be actionable, in criminal or civil court.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

You're joking right?

Yes he's been blatantly breaking numerous laws since day 1

[-] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

And now he's pissing off someone who has shown full willingness to weaponize the Justice department.

But I also brought up civil court for a reason. Trump doesn't really have direct leverage there and the discovery process could be very interesting in a case like that. A victim involved in the Epstein case may very well have standing to bring a civil suit if Musk is making information that's harmful to them public.

[-] protist@mander.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

He was on Trump's good side then...

[-] MelodiousFunk@startrek.website 7 points 3 weeks ago

This is the sort of thing that could be actionable, in criminal or civil court.

The rich:

[-] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ha! Courts!

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

He was probably there.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 1 points 3 weeks ago

If he did, he wouldn't have to dig up stuff that's been in the public domain for years.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 18 points 3 weeks ago

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 weeks ago

"Epstein knew lots of people. What about Biden?"

I can just imagine the Fox News comments now.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

The difference is Biden doesn't have a cult. Go ahead and lock him up. Granted with his cancer and age there isn't much point in doing it.

[-] _druid@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

This trump vs elon narrative feels performative. Call me a cynic, but I feel like a narrative is being pushed to try and win back good will for elon.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

As much as I believe that Trump is in the Epstein files, I don't believe Musk has any info about this. Remember this is the same guy that called the person trying to rescue those kids in a cave a pedophile with zero evidence. Musk can not be trusted, even is it's something you want to believe.

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Isn't Elon Musk also a pedo?

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

It wouldn't surprise me, but I haven't seen anything to suggest that.

[-] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think so? Yeah, every accusation is a confession and all that, but I don't remember seeing anything to substantiate it.

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago

Elon Musk doesn't like kids, and they don't like him.

[-] Jozav@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Show the proof Elon! Your DOGE had access to just about everything, now we need to see what you found.

[-] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

this is actually good, not just drama.

Musk is basically Trump's publicist. without him, a lot of Trump propaganda machinery is gone.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago
[-] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

Prove it then, coward

[-] PixellatedDave@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

Popcorn. Get your popcorn!

[-] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah we know.

[-] LaterRedditor@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

He always defaults to calling people pedophiles. Sounds like NPC dialogue?

[-] ComfortablyDumb@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Its classic projection.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

In this case he is probably right. But he is probably also on the same list.

"Trump was on Epstein's island! I shook hands with him there!"

[-] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

This gonna be a hot mess bitch break up and I’m fully onboard for it.
