So we can all assume that every single person that voted against it was actually a client, right? Do their voters know they're voting for Epstein's clients?

more likely they protecting MAJOR DONORS to the gop.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

I think the whole reason this is even in the press right now is to remind the GOP's major backers that they need to keep backing the GOP or face personal destruction because of their involvement in this shit. The GOP is making it clear that only they will fight to keep this hidden.

Why is that more likely? Don't give them excuses, they need to prove they're not on the list.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can't assume that because anybody can just pay to make politicians vote how they want

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 6 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm going to assume that anyone voting to hide a list of pedos is a pedo. They can feel free to prove otherwise.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 12 hours ago

Yep, prove me wrong at this point. Not sure why anyone is making excuses for them.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They might just be friends with someone on the list, or directly related to them.

I notice a number of women are on that list. If they were involved in grooming and raping underage girls, there’s a bigger story here.

Most likely it’s just someone they know who’s on the list, or they haven’t even seen the list but someone told them to vote that way so they did.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago

That was his address book, we haven't seen the client list. So you were seeing woman who were trafficked and people who did cleaning, supplied flowers, things like that. I'm positive some of them are also pedos though, look at ghislaine, she took part.

Here's a real conspiracy though, what if he isn't dead? He had so many secrets and blackmail, I could see the elites spiriting him away to somewhere. There was no kill switch that went off that I'm aware of.

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 day ago

I think they DO.

[–] Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 22 hours ago

Great, this is almost as good as the real list

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Should that be chairwoman? Pretty sure you don't mean she was a cleaning lady.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 22 hours ago

its virginia fox, shes looks as old as mitch mcconnel, probably using the same necromancer to siphon souls to keep her alive.
