Blames Hillary, Obama and Biden for the Epstein Files, which also don't exist.

I love that he's getting torched by his own.

I'll believe that when I see it. Till then, all MAGAt morons are pro- pedofilia and they'll fall back into line once Faux News Entertainment tells them to.

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's amazing how they are pro-pedophilia (due to their continued support and blindness towards all the real pedophiles around them) but screech about looking for pedophiles everywhere, or at least they were a few years ago! How can anyone trust these people when they support the thing they purport to loathe. When will this all blow up?

Add in the criminality of Trump and Co, and these guys are looking in all the wrong places!

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

It's the party of projection. Everything they talk about is solely because that's what they are doing/would do if given the opportunity.

Republicans have repeatedly tried to stop child marriage and mandatory reporting laws for decades now. It seems obvious at this point that the GOP is perfectly fine with kids getting raped as long as its one of their own doing the raping.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They're still married.

Republican Mike Moon

And John Rose met his wife judging a 4H contest.

(Fun fact: you can’t file for divorce as a minor)

Also as a mandatory reporter in the state of Oklahoma… hahhahahahahahah. I just wrote an affidavit about how seriously CPS takes shit.

[-] dickalan@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

It’s the art of war 101, accuse your enemy of what your you yourself are already doing. In this case, it’s the rape of children, the president is a rapist, president rapist JFC

[-] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 week ago

A trump supporter I know, always brings up politics, which I avoid when talking to them.

The past month or so, they have not brought it up at all. So, I think I’m starting to see it.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago

Oh I finally called my sister out for voting for him once my dad admitted he did and she went all in on the "well he didn't even need to win our state so my vote didn't matter." I said bitch you flew the flag which influenced others and bought his shit so it financed him, what you did mattered! So yeah I think she is feeling guilty so I made sure to make it worse.

“It’s not even about Pam Bondi to me. It’s like, look, Trump, we elected you because you were supposed to be different,” said Sharon Allen, a 24-year-old attendee. “So you have to prove to us you’re different….you can fire her [Bondi], do whatever, but at the end of the day, Trump, you are president. We trusted you to get rid of these people and expose these people.”

These dumbasses believe the lie of Trump so much that they’re shocked when he does exactly what the rest of us expected.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 50 points 1 week ago

Do they not realize Epstein was killed when Trump was president the first time?

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

I believe you know the answer to that already.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I saw one where someone said something like "You're making yourself look like what the crazy left says about you!"

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah, and that's where the thought terminates. Never, "huh, I wonder if that means they're not crazy."

[-] breecher@sh.itjust.works 57 points 1 week ago

The reporter obviously doesn't know how maga cultists functions. There is no revolt against Trump, they are just waiting for the official Trump propaganda excuse, and in the meanwhile are left to their own moronic devices.

[-] gabbath@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Yep. This too shall blow over, leaving at most a "shrug, I didn't like how he handled the whole Epstein situation but I voted for him for a third term because he's the only one who can save the country and make America great again"

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

How many people do you think are actually maga? There is some overlap of beliefs between the r’s and the extremists, and I think the r’s are starting to recognize that their party has been hijacked.

"If there was something in them, the Democrats would have released them, but even though there's nothing in them, I won't release them."

[-] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

So it does exist.

[-] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I’m shocked they have lasted more than 2 days. Usually they have eaten and digested the absolute shit that trump talks and are on their knees begging for more by now, usually so they can own the libs. This is the first glimmer of integrity I’ve seen from them. Very weird.

[-] gabbath@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I'm not hoping much, but if at least a small percentage of them get swayed, it might be enough to lose him the next election. (I'm automatically assuming he will keep running for a third term. These people don't stop unless they are stopped.)

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

These are people who will always vote Republican. None of this matters to them.

I know because they're my fucking parents.

Funny, but no.

We are trapped in our own cultivated echo-chambers. You are a victim of the same cognitive control mechanisms as the right if you think there is at all a large enough wave of regret and "realization" going through the general conservative or even median voting population to effectively produce change.

This is still not enough. If you want to understand why, spend a day watching FOX or even CNN or MSNBC. Right-wing news is already moving onto other bullshit topics like trade and trans athletes and immigration successes. The other networks are using this latest drama to squeeze the last traces of pus from the emotional pimple from a population that wants to read a feel-good, satisfying "We got 'em!" story so they can get back to their comfortable lives.

The only way this will turn into anything with actual political action is if enough people actively serving in politics right now organize and use this to affect actual political decisions. Investigations, evidence, articles and coalitions. We were led to believe that the Democratic establishment was supposed to be doing this, as there really isn't any other sizeable organization working in politics who can, but the sad truth is that most dems are just working as cover for the fact that the entire establishment, republican and democrat, has been bought or is actively being attacked and dragged out of the picture for not being bought. (See: Mamdani)

You want this to mean something? Go get involved in your local political groups and work on getting rid of the foundation of this pyramid of slime that supports our congress and senate.

One of his followers did try to shoot him for it. Strange, the shooter’s reasons were not well publicized.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago

Would the maga base even care if they found out they were supporting a pedophile?

[-] BigPotato@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Much like everything else, he just needs to own it.

If he put out a message saying "Women are peak when they're 13 and Jeff was the only guy who really knew that RIP" and dropped the file at the same time he could skate...

But he won't say it because he's spent years demonizing the Dems about the list while he's on it. So since "the list" is bad and he's on the list, it can't come out, but since he's in charge of releasing it and he has told his base to care they do. He could even say "I'm just on the list because Obama put me on there!" and he'd skate.

I don't get it, honestly, but there's too many scenarios where he gets off fine. His friends just don't want it to come out because they're not him and they won't get off free.

[-] gabbath@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

The initial QAnoners were already rationalizing it away since 2019-2020 or so saying he went there undercover "to save the children".

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Right... and he'll do it any day now...

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

I mean, no, because we've known that he is one for decades.

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 9 points 1 week ago

Isn't that why they support him?

Thank you. I’ve been wondering whether I had hallucinated this, since it sounds like many people have forgotten this exists.

We saw this a full decade ago. It’s the contents of his ‘black book’, and trump is listed specifically under the ‘Island’ heading.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 11 points 1 week ago

That's not Epstein list. It's just book with a bunch of contacts. Some Epstein met, some Epstein wanted to meet.

As per Snopes:

Because according to Mr. Rodriguez’s statement in the affidavit, the book was compiled by employees of Mr. Epstein, not by Mr. Epstein himself. Those contacted for this article acknowledged having met Ghislaine Maxwell, Mr. Epstein’s former girlfriend and “lady of the house,” and posited perhaps that was how their names ended up in the book. (It is unclear from the affidavit whether Ms. Maxwell is one of the “employees.” Ms. Buck said that she had met Ms. Maxwell at a boutique opening but that “she never phoned me.”)

The Integillience did a deep dive on the contacts in the book.

It was released as evidence during Epstein’s pretrial hearings. Before he died.

We already knew all this, he just died before he could testify as to the details of his notes.

Anyone who can read and doesn’t have the memory of a goldfish knows that trump is an accomplice of epstein’s

99% of them are sooner to literally get on their knees and offer their mouth than ever speak against him.

Trump supporters are what they are. They have no spine. They are cowards that fear everything but the things they understand and think they control. They are the dirt of the earth, meant to be tread on, elevated only by the worms that crawl from it and tell them fanciful stories of their pretensive grandeur.

Better to be dead with your dignity than alive and in support of this man. The people shall take turns defecating on his grave when he's gone... All of us, and all of those who call themselves his loyal followers.

There are none truly loyal to men such as this.

[-] echo@lemmings.world 13 points 1 week ago

Bullshit... this is all just distraction...

What’s going to happen when maga finds out that everything they were groomed to believe in is all about the very people they listened to, trusted in and destroyed for? I hope they redirect their anger to start pushing democrats to start doing their job and starts pushing out those who are not for the people. Hope this starts a productive team up of the people vs the corrupt, rich and powerful.

My guess, he's got people typing out documents that say

EPSTEIN FILES

  1. Hillary
  2. Obama
  3. DEFINITELY NOT TRUMP!!

They'll release it in a couple days.

This is nothing. The MAGAites will rally around whatever Trump says and he as already told them to move on.

Department of Justice release the Epstein Surveillance video:

https://www.justice.gov/video-files/video2.mp4

August 9, 2019 released in July 2025, the Federal Bureau of Prisons release an 11 hour surveillance video of Jeffrey Epstein's upper atrium corridor, except it contains this sudden cut and minute removed from it.

The one minute cut is here:

https://odysee.com/@UnlockingFreedom:d/Epstein-Prison-Video-7.5-whole-minutes-cut:c?src=embed&t=0.283513

The footage has been transformed on the X axis and scaled about 3.5% on X axis so, again, there's no way to check frame by frame for repeat use frames. The timestamp at the beginning is 7:40:00pm and the last timestamp is 6:40:00am, but the video is 10:52:23 in length, meaning there's almost 7.5 minutes missing, not just this one minute, which is seen in the cut. The initial report tells us that Jeffrey Epstein (Jewish) was allowed to make an unscheduled, unrecorded phone call (unmonitored). Using a non inmate telephone system line to a local 646 area code, at 6:58pm, contrary to BOP policy but with the permission of a Unit Manager, which lasted until 7:19pm then Epstein was taken back to his cell, without a cellmate.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

well about time he got a taste of his own medicine.

[-] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

“I think that these people — and I don’t know, for whatever reason, there could be reasons — but I don’t think they’re telling us the truth about Epstein,” podcaster Brandon Tatum told the assembled crowd at the Tampa Convention Center.

The reason is that the Glorious Leader is a pedophile and well know serial sexual harasser and rapist and releasing the Epstein files would conform what everyone other than the MAGAzi fascist bootlickers already know.

[-] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

These people love power more than integrity. Until there's action it's all just posturing.
