So now when people read the Epstein lists and documents, and a name is blacked out, everyone assumes its Trump.

I'm not sure if this is a better look for rapist and sex trafficker Donald J Trump.

Every new update that isn't releasing the full unredacted files is an admission of guilt.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I still don't get why this has picked up so much steam lately. All this info came out years ago and it was widely known at the time. We've had a de facto admission of guilt for ages but for some reason we've all decided to talk about it like we're just learning about it now.

The leaked Epstein files are inadmissible in court. These versions would be usable. And redacting them means they can't be used against Trump, even though we all know he's on it, since we have seen the originals. The official ones are way more important because they can be used. So their coming out has actual legal repercussions, and not just social repercussions.

And I also think there are more files than what leaked. So we won't have seen the originals of some of the upcoming redacted ones.

It's all because his Attorney General was asked if she would release the files and she said, yep, they're on my desk for review.

Not long before that, the administration was bragging about having them in hand, photo op and all, and saying that heads, presumably Democratic heads, would soon roll. SUDDENLY! Yeah, not releasing them, nothing to see here.

Elon said it so now randos know it's real

A lot of Trump voters are into the conspiracy theories around Epstein, and a few months ago the DOJ made a big deal of giving some right-wing influencers "phase one" of the Epstein files, which turned out to be mostly stuff that was already out. Last month, the DOJ and FBI put out a memo saying that no more documents will be released and that there is no Epstein client list, despite the Attorney General previously saying it was on her desk. MAGA didn't take that well, and Trump has been trying very hard to distract people from it.

Justice is so blind it can't see through redaction.

Think everyone is beyond caring about optics. That ship sailed long ago when people voted for the known pussy grabber. Would just be good to have an actual legal case that could maybe just maybe get rid of this asswipe. Nothing else sticks quite like a sex scandal. His horrendous abuse of the alien enemies act should have been more than enough to have him fully impeached for human rights abuse. This Epstein stuff could have teeth, as society tends to not let this stuff slide.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, MAGA isn't beyond caring on this subject. As you said, it could have teeth. Conservatives have been winding their base up over pedophilia for nearly 20 years. Want to vilify someone? Pedo! Plus, plenty of nuts seems to have believed the Pizzagate thing, were frothing at the mouth.

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The problem for them being that all prominent MAGATS are in the files.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I think the pressure is coming from many sides, but if there weren't so many MAGAs in there they would have already released an "enemies list".

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 60 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Kill Trump. Murder him and drag his bloated corpse through the streets.

Go 1790 French on this bag of shit.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

Whoa. Wow. Can we calm down a bit here... drag him through the streets first THEN move on to the murdering. Make him suffer like all the little kids that he raped suffered.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There’s also the option of treating him like Mussolini 👀

I'd be into a Trump Gaddafi'ng

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, I’m here for some Bolton Ramsey depraved kinda shit for Trump. Start by peeling the skin off his fingertip for a preview, then skin the rest of him as slowly as possible. Turn him upside down so the blood flow keeps him conscious for longer, even. Broadcast the spectacle on national television.

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

And surround the scene with depictions of his victims like a triumphant Dexter kill chamber.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Ha. The “resistance” won’t even block traffic because it’s “so disruptive.”

They live next door to MAGA trash and do nothing.

Nobody’s taking out Trump- Americans won’t even stand up to their neighbors.

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well they had to redact it to follow through with the coup that they blame on Russia.

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It doesn't look good for Mr. [redacted] in those files. Proper wrong'un.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Say it louder. I'm sure Trump wants everyone to know his name has been removed from all the many, many instances it shows up in the pedophile ring master files.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

good job america you elected a president so that your tax dollars can be used for saving pedophiles instead of doing science and what not.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

its not like people dont already know hes on the list, he was epsteins most frequent client, that people notices him very easily.

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Can't wait for the section where they play Top [Redacted]s

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

What they're not mentioning here is, Epstein's island hadn't been either bought or renovated yet. There was no island to go to at the time of his flights.

Records have shown that Trump took at least eight flights on Epstein's private jet between 1993 and 1997, but they were between New York and Florida.

Edit: Epstein bought it in 1998 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Saint_James%2C_U.S._Virgin_Islands

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well then, I’d think he’d be rushing to release the files fully and transparently if they proved his innocence. What’s that, he’s doing the opposite…

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Well that's because he was just joking? Don't you guys get it, flying around with and hanging out with one of the most prolific pedophiles of all time was a jokey joke. You guys just don't have a sense of humor.

That trump doesn't show up in any rape island shit because epstein hadn't bought the island yet. It's hard to know when they had their falling out. These articles imply that he wasn't at the island, but I'm saying that that doesn't exonerate him. He was on the rape plane a lot.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Damn, very interesting. They must have had a rape mansion in the meantime.

Surprised the administration and MAGA hasn't trotted this out yet.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

They had rape mansions and rape planes which trump has been to multiple times.

[–] Marleyinoc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It had wings.
