I feel like those who believe him to be a vile scumbag will be reinforced in that belief and those that worship him will not be swayed in the slightest degree. Those that are grifting along don’t care either way.

When he said he could shoot a man in the middle of Fifth Ave, he wasn't joking.

Many thought he was, that there's a justice system that would convict him... But I think it's finally dawning on these idiots too that indeed the orange shitstain was dead serious, and also correct.

At this point not even terabytes of video evidence would waver his fans. You could literally play a video of him raping an infant on every screen of Times Square, and the MAGAts would be doing Olympic gold level mental gymnastics to explain, excuse and justify the video. It's AI, he only did it because he was undercover FBI to take down the pedo rings, but what about XY of the Democrats who dared to have a dickpic on his personal laptop, and so on.

[-] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

i think that video would actually do it….
for a trumpet: “the email is just words epstein typed in an email… he name dropped epstein all the time, so he made up some stuff… he’s a pedo so obviously not trustworthy.”
it’s obvious to me that he’s a predator, especially having already been convicted, but there’s still no concrete proof.
i dunno, i’ve seen people rationalize “even if he did they were 17, not 10” (i know they were younger but anyways).
i saw a rumor that the epstein files have polaroids of a topless 15 year old girl sitting on trump’s lap….
but then they’ll just say it was a bikini top optional beach and he’s like grandpa or some shit… also i think someone in the fbi would’ve blown a whistle on that….
if we get video they’ll just say it was AI.
…..
my pet conspiracy theory is the reason all the billionaires are pushing AI so hard is because they’re all being blackmailed and once AL gets good enough it’ll nullify all video evidence…
otherwise it doesn’t make sense to me that they’re trying to shove it into everything when most people don’t want anything to do with it and they’re all hemorrhaging money….

I mean I can't believe it can be any worse than whats on the public record. I mean when he was asked whats to young on stern and he just is sorta giggling without saying no of course not.

[-] Whirlygirl9@kbin.melroy.org 0 points 2 weeks ago

what if he was in business with Epstein... in business selling children...

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

ok. you got me. that is worse than my limited imagination could come up with. still what he has said on video already is way past bad to me anyway.

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

"Fake news!" they would cry. That reality denying phrase was unsurprisingly part of his political career from the very beginning for a reason.

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

There's also a lot of people who just ignore things until there are lots of stories about evidence existing and then theh pay attention. That is the 20% or so chunk that started disapproving of Trump's actions instead of not having an opinion over time. The ones that switch who they vote for from election to election based on whatever whim they have at the moment.

This is a big deal to get those people to care about Trump's history of rape.

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

Yeah. People will silently disapprove for only so long. As more information comes out, he'll become unexcusable, to the point where openly supporting him will be asking for a long nap in a shallow ditch

In the predawn hours, a contestant named Lauren Petrella — who, at age 22, was 24 years younger than the 46-year-old Trump — allegedly found Trump, unannounced and uninvited, in her bed.

“You said you don’t sleep with men on the first date,” he told her, according to the lawsuit filed by Harth. “Now it’s the second date, and here I am.”

[-] Whirlygirl9@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

ew. fucking. ew. and i heard it in his southpark voice.

[-] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Just picture his fat torso shoved into a big ol pair of stretched out tighty whiteys. Then he says this and all you can focus on is his morning breath.

[-] Nobody@anarchist.nexus 10 points 2 weeks ago

With Trump unhinged now and letting the wolves run rampant, the number of missing kids in ICE raids needs to be examined. The Epstein island monstrosity likely didn’t end and wasn’t isolated.

Children just disappear now with no trace while a pedophile sex trafficker and his army hold every lever of power with no checks and balances.

[-] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Remember every accusation of republicans is projection of their own deeds. With how much republicans accuse others of doing the most horrible things to people, it is very scary to think what they are involved in

[-] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

God used flawed men like Noah and King David. Just because Trump has made mistakes doesn't mean we should turn our backs on him.

No /s, because that's literally what you'll hear in the coming weeks.

God used flawed men like Noah and King David

Noah got both his daughters pregnant. (Oops that was Lot, after god destroyed Sodom & Gamora for being cruel to poor people, and for some reason also killed Lot's wife)

The Bible calls King David a man after gods heart. Same King David that sent his bro (top general) on a suicide mission so he could steal his wife.

Just some context for peeps.

[-] fonix232@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

And these don't even tank top ten in the "worst shit committed by 'men of god' in the Bible". Hell it doesn't even make top 10 in the Old Testament.

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

And let's not get into nasty things done by messiahs against roadside fig trees

[-] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Noah got both his daughters pregnant.

Nah, that was Lot.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Hell, that demon Bannon has already said it.

Bannon continued: “We have to finish what we started... I know this will drive you guys crazy, but [Trump] is a vehicle of divine providence. He’s an instrument. He’s very imperfect. He’s not churchy. But he is an instrument of divine will.”

“We need him for at least one more term,” Bannon reiterated, “and he’ll get that in ‘28.”

“That was his property, and he did what he wanted with it. What’s the problem?”

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago

People like to call Trump the American Hitler but Hitler at least didn’t diddle kids so openly.

[-] RaoulDuke85@piefed.social 0 points 2 weeks ago

Didn't he marry his 13 year old cousin?

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Jerry Lee Lewis?

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 2 weeks ago

Idk probably. I’m probably wrong.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Lmao. Can't wait for this to go nowhere.

40% popularity rate btw.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh my, and her name is Midelfart.

I . . . I just can’t with this timeline.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Doesn't this just confirm the comically large check that was released previously from the birthday book?

[-] titanicx@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Is this an article about Donald j Trump, self admitted best friend to Jeffrey r Epstein, and current president of the United States, raping children?

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Am I reading correctly that Republicans released even more material? Secretly non-MAGAs?

Oh, and also... https://youtu.be/o23Noye5410

[-] oyo@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

They knew Dems would release more so they jumped to try to get the credit...
