"Donald Trump shielded from child molestation charges by supreme court under presidential acts doctrine"

"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas notes that presidential child molestation is a time honored american tradition starting with Thomas Jefferson"

That would have been Alito. Also the bible said it's okay, probably.

Gotta marry her tho. Them's the rules.

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Unless she's your slave concubine, then you're fine. But you should free your own children.

Also, Sally Hemings was very likely the daughter of John Wayles, Jefferson's father-in-law. Which makes Sally Hemings the half-sister of Jefferson's, by then, dead wife.

She was also between 14 and 16 when Jefferson took her as a concubine.

Worth noting that these transcripts detail Trump forcing 12 year olds to act out lesbian sex while he watched, then give him sloppy head. And apparently when the BJ was kinda toothy (cuz, ya know, they’re 12,) he got angry and physical.

But sure, let’s elect him as king of the United States.

That is completely fucked up. Imagine wanting this guy to be the President.

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Imagine being the victims and seeing him become president and all the people that support him. Sounds like hell

Was this case dismissed? Still ongoing? How is there not more on this? This would be prison for anyone else no question.

the judge added that the state's leniency in the case "been the subject of much anger and has at times diminished the public's perception of the criminal justice system".

Mmm. Yes.

Don't worry, just the stuff about Trump.

It's a Florida judge after all.

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 4 months ago

I mean, it'd be funny if DeSantis got pissy about not being the GOP presidential candidate and tried to tank trump in "revenge"

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Sadly, he appears to be all in for Trump now.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

I sometimes wish lefties had that kind of solidarity. Remember what we did to Al Franken?

Epstein took his own life in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial over federal sex-trafficking charges.

Odd how the BBC would just lie like that.

Think this will change anything?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 46 points 4 months ago

Whether it changes anything or not, the public deserves to know.

[-] dugmeup@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

After immunity, these are official acts. Good luck.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago

Most of these charges predate his presidency.

[-] 555_1@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

The Supreme Court will rule that by becoming a us president, a person gains absolution for all their crimes, and cannot be charged with any crimes while in office.

So, taking over the government by force and killing people who disagree with you is actually not a crime at the moment. Hurry up Joe!!!

They could have multi-angle IMAX video of Trump cornholing a dozen toddlers and the MAGats would still think he was the second coming of Christ.

To me it looks like the judge wants something to be seen. Wealthy-and-connected privilege? Maybe even these documents show how deep into the known names this hole runs? Without the ambiguity of "the only documented thing is a dinner"

But I'm not an expert on the issue and judges in general, so maybe I'm misinterpreting something

[-] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

I mean it really has been no secret at all that trump was close friends with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and at the very least was aware of what was going on for some time. More than likely he participated in some of the nefarious and weird ass crap going on at their properties and while that is certainly not proven, there sure is a lot of damning evidence (also his response when asked if he would release the Epstein files if elected a few weeks ago was hilarious lol). And people just simply don't care. Like not even a little. At this point if it came out that trump was actually the one behind it all and he just had Epstein be the fall guy or something I still don't think it would change anything at all.

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

If they had a video of him raping a 13 year old it wouldn't matter to MAGAs.
