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

    No he doesn’t.

    He’s kinda up against the foundational myth of Q-Anon here, so there’s a chunk of true believers who are extremely vocal about this. But the vast majority of the people that voted for him are conservative hypocrites to whom this was never more than another narrative, to be strategically leveraged to attack the enemy and distract from their crimes while claiming moral superiority.

      Yeah there have been many times already where it’s been “they have to get that he’s scamming them now, right?”

      But they always go back and say “please sir, can we have some more?”

      They’re already trying to work out that it’s all Pam Bondi’s fault. Trump is just getting bad advice, etc.

    Wait… wasn’t Drumpf the president when Epstein was charged?!? So why the fuck is this helmet haired douche trying to blame Hilary (always- it’s his scapegoat), Obama, and Biden?!? None of them were in any position at that point to “help the case” so SHOW US THE DAMN CLIENT LIST where Drumpf was named (we have all seen the pics of him and Epstein together so stop denying it! It’s embarrassing!!) and then we can move the fuck on! And realize that Drumpf is the wet toilet paper of trash and the voters of America who voted for him are basic AF and need to open a fucking damn book!! It’s probs because his cult has only one brain cell rolling around up there reminding them to breathe! 😂😂 stupid MAGATS!

      The underlying purpose of the whole Qanon movement was basically to give Trump supporters a way to explain why he wasn’t delivering on his promises during his first term.

      So why the fuck is this helmet haired douche trying to blame Hilary, Obama, and Biden?!?

      Because he’s never accepted responsibility for anything he’s ever done in his entire life?

      Because deflecting the blame to others is his go to move when called out?

      Because a large number of his base will believe that his deflections are true?

      Because he is a spineless, gutless, nutless, mushroom-dicked, pedophile asshole, and blaming others for his failings is the only thing he can do short of owning it?

      All of the above?

      Edit:

      “Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden administration.” -Trump

      So that if the files somehow get leaked, he’s already “discredited” them. I guess the FBI took a nap during his first term in office, which isn’t suspicious in any way whatsoever.

    I tried to engage with a devout trumper about his. They REFUSED to admit that trump was in any way involved with Epstein, despite photographic & video evidence. They ALWAYS furnished some excuse or deflection. Mostly involving Biden “sniffing little girls hair.”

    Seriously. These people are deranged. There’s no breaking them from the cult.

      To be fair, just being in a picture with someone doesn’t make you “involved” at any level. At best, it’s circumstantial evidence of nothing much.

      Speaking of evidence

            Here we find the conservative doubling down by immediately repeating that no, they do in fact know that you are, but plead: “what, then, am I? Tell me!”

        Tell me, in this cult the left is in, who is the leader? Who is at the head, feeding the masses the mantras?

        Seems like there hasnt been a leader that the left has fully trusted in many years, even decades. Likely evidence that they are thinking for themselves and not just following the bullshit of some pedophile dementia patient.

The executive summary would be that these forums are like a trading post for child abuse and human slavery operations. The posts appear to indicate involvement from members of the Trump administration and Heritage Foundation, among many others.

    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.

    Trump is now claiming that Biden and Obama created the Epstein files. The only reason for him to do this is that the files aren’t damaging to Democrats and confirm that Trump is a serial pedophile rapist.

      Of course the files are going to be damaging to Democrats. You don’t think the rich and powerful are any different across party lines did you? The only reason the Democratic party is as “ethical” and good as it is (it isn’t very), is because the voter base has a slightly smaller appetite for bullshit. Hopefully they’ll do the right thing and push ny even further left too, we need to roast the DNC over the coals if we have any luck of charging the future for the better. Or maybe there will just be revolution

    “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.

      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.

        Couldn’t agree more. The things I see online are completely different from what I see in real life.

        In real life, the vast majority of people aren’t paying attention to any of this drama at all. They have no idea what’s going on. (And if they do, they surely aren’t talking about it.) The Republican party is going to be fine, thanks to apathy.

          Yeah, and this is especially so in the important voting bloc of white middle class people --the ones who probably own their home (with mortgage obviously) and are still making ends meet. The good ones are horrified to see what’s going on in the world, and the troubled ones may still think they are temporarily embarrassed millionaires with the whole master race thing going for them, but other than inflation their day to day life has not changed.

          I’m a white dude living in the swing state of Pennsyltucky, in a very white republican suburb a good distance from the city. My town is growing and some good companies have large offices here (access to infrastructure plus the tax benefit of being in the next county over), so it’s attracted residents from just about every ethnic background. But to get an accurate mental image, you have to sprinkle that diverse mix over a base layer of 80% white people, lol.

          Just mentally going through our family, close friends, social acquaintances, and various local parents we run into (I have a kid in elementary school, and we’re active in the school district), it is almost all white families living in single-family homes or sometimes townhouses. Many are two-income families, some are one-income families (working professionals in a reasonable COL area, not exactly CEOs). I know everybody has their own problems including the ones they don’t share with me, but for most of these people life just looks normal. If you followed me around all day and could not see the awful news on the screen when I sat down at my PC, you would be hard pressed to tell which decade we are in. You would need a clue like peeking at my phone model or seeing an old covid mask on a shelf.

          There ARE exceptions. People who are not white have absolutely been fucked with by ICE. Thank goodness the best Mexican restaurant in town got raided so that my fellow whites aren’t tempted by amazing food from non-white sources. And I do know of one white family where both parents are civilians that work for the government. Both remotely, before Trump 2. They are amazing people raising three great kids (the kindest people we know are usually single child) and they got all kinds of unnecessary stress and fuckery in their real lives thanks to all the chaos and ill considered return-to-office mandates.
