Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Those Epstein files must be absolutely fucking insane for Donny.

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 55 points 2 days ago (2 children)

We got <1% of the files, heavily redacted and it was still fucking wild. I cannot imagine how batshit fucking crazy the actual files are

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What if Q was someone deeply embedded in the Epstein shit, but also a right-wing fascist so they just spun it all as Democrats doing all the evil shit?

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Sounds like you’re describing the whole “every accusation is a confession…” projection shit that the GOP has been doing for 40 years.

We know who Q is. It’s Ron Watkins.

This is what i think is close to the truth because I was there at the beginning of pizza gate. The story now is completely different. It started with a republican owned pizza place that had a basement and everything. Then all of a sudden it’s comet over here! And look at this! A crazy has shown up to shoot! Oh now you’re the asshole if you bring up that conspiracy!

Fucking convenient that shit was. That was before Q too.

(Oh this was before/during the clear /r/conspiracy shift/takeover of the right wing) ahhhhhh they now you sound crazy if you talk about it. Fuck em.

Probably like even worse than the Sasha Riley accusations.

...except Epstein files are the distraction.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Maybe the Epstein files were the friends we made along the way.

It’s not just insane for him… pretty much all of the political power of the Middle East is also in those files. It has a reach that goes beyond borders of the US so they’re actually scared about what will happen when Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Muhammad bin Nayef, Netanyahu, etc all show up in pictures and financial records.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s the entire worlds power more likely.

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Ya, you're probably right

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The orange thing must've raped loads of children to go to these lengths to distract from it all.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

The thing is, in the current US i don't see him being affected by it no matter how horrific the contents are

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 days ago

There was a tip line call about him being present for the execution of his own bastard newborn and then discarding it into a lake. I mean yeah that’s not evidence but who makes that shit up? Knowing that he was putting girls into those kinds of situations etc and then calls the FBI tip line with it?

Like, you really gonna call them up with a lie about the one of the most prominent people in American society? How do you think that’s gonna go for you?

So, yeah my conclusion is that there is stuff in there that would make rotten.com look tame.

Donald Trump is America's Jimmy Savile.
