Trump giving Alaska resources to Putin

Let's talk about Epstein files and how they both tried to compete with sleeping with princess Diana

The Mueller investigation has fatigued me against this kind of thing. It had way more potential to get Trump removed from office on every level, and just got put in a box and forgotten about.

We already know Trump is a rapist, this was found to be true in a court of law. We know as fact he was good friends with Epstein, the proof is already out there. Neither of these undeniable facts have caused a moment's reflection on the part of his supporters, so I just can't think what could possibly be in those files that would materially change anything.

“Michael Wolff is a lying sack of s--t and has been proven to be a fraud,” Cheung told The Daily Beast. “He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump derangement syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”

Well, now I believe you.

Im starting to suspect Putin has blackmail evidence on Trump

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 87 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He probably does, but it also doesn't matter at this point.

Trump has vacillated on Russia just in the last year. There's a chunk of the MAGA base that wants to stop all funding to Ukraine. Trump started down that path. Then he tried to negotiate a peace deal with Putin and got snubbed because Trump has nothing to offer. Then he started up funding to Ukraine again in retaliation.

Now he needs a distraction from the Epstein Files. He's been desperately asking for ideas around the White House (we know this because this White House leaks more than Trump's bladder). He thinks selling out Ukraine will be it.

Whatever blackmail Putin has at this point is immaterial. Whatever it is, Trump will just call "fake news" and it'll be in the news cycle for a bit, and then go away. Trump is following what he thinks is in his own best interest regardless of what Putin has.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He didn't offer any funding that "deal" was essentially "Europe can give weapons to Ukraine and purchase replacements from the US" and looks like there's even no guarantee on the replacements.

Seems like a lot of people got fooled.

Direct aid has happened under Trump.

https://www.csis.org/analysis/trump-administration-boosts-immediate-military-aid-deliveries-ukraine

President Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced on July 14 a new delivery mechanism for sending weapons to Ukraine. While much is unclear about the new policy, it appears NATO member states will send weapons from their stockpiles to Ukraine and buy U.S. replacements.

Which is referring to what you're talking about, but there's also:

Separately, the Trump administration this week announced weapons sales to Ukraine totaling $652 million under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, adding to the $310 million in FMS approved in May. Every additional shipment helps at a time when Ukraine’s cities are being attacked nightly, and the Russian ground offensive continues day-by-day.

So yes, the US is still sending direct aid to Ukraine.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

First paragraph is what I talked about. Second is not aid but sale. It is crazy that he is even blocking sales so people are clapping when he allows. India sells weapons to Ukraine too, are you also count that as an aid?

[–] RangerAndTheCat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 14 hours ago

Damn good catch

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

the US is still sending direct aid to Ukraine.

In exchange for cash though. Not the same as under Biden.

Putin IS the news cycle online here. He has massive bots armies thru BRICS made of slaves (bots are slaves). The Epstein thing bubbling up (based on old info like the Michael Wolff Epstein interviews which I posted months ago and couldn't get anyone to watch) is because Putin is mad at him and wants him to do something shitty. That's why he keeps saying weird pleading stuff at Putin - he is literally protecting us right now (well, not "us," but himself). That's why he asked Ukraine to assassinate Putin.

He likely ran his own child trafficking orgs and participated in some very illegal shit. He sold nuclear secrets for this. And now he is resisting because Putin probably wants him to do something truly unhinged like bomb Los Angeles, so BRICS has an excuse to invade.

The drugs you use, I want to try them.

Try a good faith argument

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Even if he did, it wouldn’t change a damn thing. His base are completely blinded.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

putin comepletely controls trumps base, through propaganda mediums, like fox, REDDIt, yes they control r/conservatives, and talking headss like tim poole, laura loomer, ben shapiro.

why do you think the talk of epstein suddenly disappeared on that subreddit, they made a "megathread" to force all the epstein discussion there apparently deleted it.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not even that, the entire legal and justice system is completely paralyzed to that Trump could violate a girl on the rose garden lawn in front of the press and nothing would happen aside from much screaming and posturing.

We should get a former director of the FBI and appoint them as a special council to look into it. Maybe they can even right a report about it. Call it something like the Schmeuller Report

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

You mean, Agent Krasnov?

[–] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That and I'd bet the Epstein stuff finally breaking through on the right was partially due to a Russian influence op. I don't think it's a coincidence that it happened right after Trump pissed off Putin by attacking Iran and openly criticizing him.

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

its telling hes behind it, when all the right wing talking heads that putin has employed were quiet about epstein for months.

What's the new evidence?

[–] paranoid@lemmy.world 68 points 1 day ago (6 children)

It's in the second article linked above, but the short answer seems to be this:

According to Trump biographer Michael Wolf, Trump and Epstein allegedly competed to see which of the two could sleep with [Princess] Diana first

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

gross, also because diania looks like his then wife, and kinda like ivanka.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago

The article calls Epstein a "disgraced financier", but it fails to call Trump a "disgraced president" or "disgraced businessman."

I also mention this because it's somewhat ironic that these two disgraces were after somebody who was actually graceful.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

Ugh these people are disgusting.

[–] mateofeo85@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

After the crash?

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably Prince Andrew's idea

Sounds like Trump's distraction techniques are being used against him.

Delicious.

Breaking news: Trump biographer Michael Wolf dies in a car crash.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I mean martial law and being a Russian asset is pretty main event stuff. We all know he’s a pedo. It kinda seems like there’s no magic bullet that’s going to wake up the brainwashed masses but hope that there’s a tipping point where maga wakes up and turns on temu Shitler.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Oh they will absolutely turn on him if they smell blood in the water. Someone just has to make him bleed first. They want everything he is doing but they also know he’s gonna be dead soon enough and all the anger from the collapsing cult will be focused on them.

He’s done everything they wanted. He has nothing left to offer them. Now they just need to dispose of him with a massive public spectacle and focus all the consequences on him. Thats what the Epstein files are. Everything about this says the rich and powerful want out and to have him be the scapegoat.

Enter Russia. He’s still very useful to Russia. So Putin props him up by threatening those in his own party. So until Putin dies, this will continue.

When Putin dies, Trump will be completely vulnerable. That’s when everyone will finally oust him.

I posted previously about how Russia has has Alaskan patches on their uniforms for months now: https://www.reddit.com/r/alaska/comments/1lmc9h0/the_chevron_on_a_russian_soldiers_uniform_reads/

Release the Trump/Epstein files

[–] bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At this point the only way for him to stop the Epstein coverup from exploding is if he kills Putin during his visit
