The only sense I can make is that he's saying the administration lied about it as a prop to get elected.

But, of course, prominent Nazi Pam Bondi said it was on her desk AFTER the election. And Republicans just voted not to release something they claim doesn't exist. And logic states that if it does exist and it exonerates Trump they'd be plastering it on every wall in every city, town, and village in America. Sooooooooo.......

So he's afraid of being on it. That's all there is to this.

The guy did write about a bunch of children running a train on another child to "recharge their matches" in the book 'it' acting like it was a liberating experiance.

Guy also described a girl pissing and shitting herself in "the girl who lived tom gordon" in detail which weirded me out even as a kid

At the time I read The Girl I thought that part was a bold move. Drinking random creek water will totally do that to you and I liked that he didn't pull his punches just because the character was a girl.

Then I read his other works. I'm pretty sure he's into kids. There's a small benefit of the doubt that it's his version of a dead baby joke and he does it just to fuck with readers, but I'm too jaded to expect he's not dicking children himself.

didn't this dickhead also pose with an "I'm speaking" t-shirt after Harris used it to silence anti genocide protesters?

anyway i hope people remember this next time they read It and reach the part that was very predictably left out from the movie

Bet he's on that list the fucking nonce

We believe the rumored client list is real now? Case documents for Giuffre v. Dershowitz have already been unsealed & released. I thought everyone was calling claims of secret, unreleased documents a right-wing conspiracy theory a few months ago. It's really hard to follow what we're supposed to think here. What's going on?

I can believe there's no neat little notepad with a bunch of names on it, but there's definitely a shit load of evidence incriminating a bunch of powerful people, given what we already know.

Nobody is going to release a real list because it will exclusively hurt the rich and powerful.

Trump Part 1 didn't, Biden didn't, Trump won't do it now.

There definitely is a list. Probably not a spreadsheet or a black book, but you have to make schedules and appointments work. Double booking diddlers is bad business. There are records.

What has been established by the media is that there is a list (whether true or not) and being on that list is damning. Unfortunately we're at a point where if a list is released, anyone with a brain would have to doubt it as being nothing more than a political tool, and anyone without a brain will immediately try to crucify anyone on it.

All the back and forth and hemming and hawing buys time to figure out who to put on the list. Get all the Democrat names you like, but finding enough Republicans to put on the list, but not anyone who'll rat (preferably dead) is the tricky part. Gotta make it halfway believable.

It's sad that instead of bringing the worst people in our society to justice, this will either be swept under the rug or set fire to the Reichstag.

hawking was seen with ghislaine or epstein at least through the photos.

We already have the flight logs, right? These people flew to the island, that should be enough for something. It's not like we're going to find a QuickBooks pricelist with clients and sex acts in it.

If I were gonna run an extremely illegal operation for the rich and powerful, you can be damn sure I’d be keeping receipts for blackmail / insurance.

I mean... We might. Realistically we might just get a bank account with deposits. From whom and the description

Interesting, the mystery expands...I can't wait for all the people who are associated with that list to be catching well-earned strays from the fallout.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You know nothing will come of it. Though they should all end up ruined and in prison, the same will happen as what happens with all “celebrities” at a statistical level. Nothing. Sure Weinstein is in prison. Diddy is not. etc… This won’t be another metoo movement.

Though I fucking wish it would.

Ohoh, has someone fallen off the coke wagon?

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Whether the list is literally real or not doesn't matter at this point. It's whether you can trust whatever list this administration produces.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Tucker said it out already. They did not leave you to connect the dots; They literally left you with a complete line with only one missing dot to connect. Even the dumbest MAGAts could see through it.

Stephen King is absolutely the next person I think is going to have some heinous shit come out about him, like happened with Gaiman. Too many years writing in a cocaine haze, on record defenses of Woody Allen marrying the step daughter he raised, the whole thing with the ending of IT.

Not commenting on the Epstein List, tbh it's political football and I don't know if we'll ever have anything confirmed until well after anyone who could be impacted by it is gone. King's just one of those people who if you look close enough there's reasons to be suspicious, but who is such an industry giant that I think no one wants to say anything.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Should Stephen King get checked out for brain damage? Possible stroke? He's pulling a Fetterman with this shitty take.
