Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Elon Musk has said an Axios report that the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had concluded there was no evidence of a Jeffrey Epstein client list was the "final straw".

The report also said the agencies had concluded there was no credible evidence the disgraced financier and pedophile blackmailed high-profile and prominent individuals, and confirmed that surveillance footage showed Epstein had killed himself in prison.

"So... umm... then what is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for?" Musk posted to his X platform, referring to Epstein's former girlfriend and associate who procured underage girls for him to abuse.

Here's Elon just before the 2024 election telling Tucker Carlson:

If Trump wins that Epstein client list is gonna become public. And some of those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of that outcome

Imagine being so spun up by qanon that you are driven to support the Rapist-in-Chief (and besties with Epstein), thinking Taco was going to do something about the child rape that....checks notes....the Democrats supposedly do (lol)? Even when it was the rapist-in-chief that was found guilty of rape? Remember, it was Hillary and crew that was supposedly trafficking children out of the basement of a basementless pizza parlor?

Can even one of these idiots make it make sense, even in their fictional universe? None of this makes any sense at all.

Elon Musk, Yarvin, and Theil are all directly mentioned in the vidoes from "the playground" as being inspiration for the modern American slave trade, sexual predators and CSA.

Amazing find, how did you even come across this information?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 2 days ago

"So... umm... then what is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for?"

She was an accessory to his crimes. And if she had any more information to possibly share, she'd have "killed herself," too.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The fact that everyone who hung out with Epstein are not in prison is a testament to our two-tiered justice system. There is no justice if justice is for sale.

I wonder where they're all flying these days. Who's keeping the current list? How many years from now does someone come forward to tell the same story

[–] pawnfuture@lemmy.world 43 points 3 days ago (8 children)

It's a ridiculous thing to imagine that only the US possesses intel about Epstein. I'm sure a foreign government will leak more about Trump's involvement with Epstein. Virginia Giuffre named Trump in addition to others and she recently "committed suicide."

There was also a passport from a foreign country with a picture of Epstein under another name.

Musk framed himself as a champion of good fighting the forces of evil, but then he retreated when Tesla stocks went down. Democrats are destroying the country, society is being perverted, etc. But that's nothing compared to his wallet. (His words.)

Musk says he's aware of a massive pedophilia conspiracy involving presidents, billionaires, and royalty. Then he backs out when Trump threatens SpaceX contracts.

He wants to bring mankind to the stars and create a free society on Mars. But then someone will threaten his bottom line and that will be the end.

As a Republican this Leaves me ANGRY because I THOUGHT the CLINTONS were on that List but if Trump, who was Epstein's Best Friend, says there is No List then that means the CLINTONS never Raped kids either!

[–] nolannice@lemmy.world 65 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Honestly I think it's kind of funny the administration is trying to bury this, because there is already very public information on Trump being a rapist and making creepy remarks towards young girls.

If it releases with him on it his supporters would absolutely do the mental gymnastics required to use it as proof the liberal elite are an evil cabal, while also insisting that dear leader is blameless.

This court filing is horrific and names both trump and Epstein as defendants. The victim withdrew after the deposition, if I’m remembering correctly.

Only a republican could be upset that kids weren't raped.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 33 points 3 days ago

I know the /s is there (mentally) but the idea that someone is mad that kids weren't raped is abhorrent.

No one ever asks why Epstein was allowed to kill himself. Who gave the order to take him off suicide watch? I remember people at the time screaming that it was a bad idea.

there is zero reason for anyone to believe Epstein killed himself even if we are given direct evidence from the state itself. everything from them is suspect and should not be trusted regardless of the quality provided. why would anyone listen to the words of a government that inherently distrusts its citizens and wants, objectively, the worst for them? even if Epstein actually did kill himself we are never going to accept that as a society and honestly, we shouldn't, because this is absolutely something those in power would do and we should never forget that or become complacent to it.
