    I find it really entertaining when some low information group becomes aware of information that was fully publicly available before, but which the members vehemently refused to acknowledge purely because they hated/distrusted the people saying it and it didn’t track with their narratives.

      Ikr? No one cares. The only thing I’m surprised is that the official announcement wasn’t official.

      Like there’s ton of pics of trump being buddy buddy with Jeff.

    Isn’t this all footage that we’ve known about for a long time?

    Just to be clear, I felt like we shouldn’t be electing a creepy rapist that hung out with Epstein even before he got elected the first time. I never thought we would somehow do it twice, especially after he almost killed us all the first time around, but c’est la vie, I guess.

    Just wonder how much of this is just a reality TV/wrestlemania style distraction IRL. Like what does it really change that Elon is reposting information we already knew?

    Like there is other big shit going on with Israel, Gaza, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, and the EU going on right now but nobody is really talking about it bc we are paying attention to Elon re-screening videos of Trump/Epstein that we’ve already seen.

    I had forgotten about the very obvious and forcefully grabbing and groping. Trump is now no longer a term in a card game. It’s the term we now have to use for lower than garbage.

    A clip from 1992 isn’t new. If you’ve got new details, spill 'em. Right now he’s just saying what everyone else had been saying for years.

    I have weird feelings about this feud because for once I agree with both of them. We should impeach Trump, and we should also cancel all of Musk’s contracts.

    Both too proud to de-escalate the situation. What the hell are they even arguing about? They’re both children in suits.

          I dunno, I’ve seen children with a lot more self-awareness.

          Unless by “children” you mean babies. Because those fuckers have no self-control.

          Edit: And by “those fuckers” I mean babies.

            Why are people digging into the semantics of the word “child” in this thread?

            The point is that they are acting IMMATURELY. 👌

              Semantic debates are easy to feel like you’ve won, they’re the low hanging fruit of the debate world. Sometimes people (including myself, I’m guilty of it too sometimes) just want an easy win.

                I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that they were doing the whole “that’s an insult to children’s intelligence” bit. Still just a variation on what I already said lol.

      Trump was mentored by Roy Cohn. Cohn was Joe McCarthy’s attack dog and had a reputation as the most vicious lawyers in New York. Cohn was the guy who taught Donny to make contracts with mid level businesses and then stiff them.

      Trump repaid these lessons by abandoning Cohn when he found out Cohn had AIDS

          Epstein said that he was D’s best friend for 10 years. Said he was charming and could sell anything. Then said he used that for evil as he trashed all his friends and wives in a pattern: build trust, draw people in, and pop a nasty betrayal.

          The recording is doing the rounds on social media again.

          I remember an old black and white movie where one pirate saves another’s life.

          I can’t recall the exact line, but it was something like “I had to save you; you’re the only other person I’ve ever met who is as evil as I am.”

            Courtesy of LLM:

            Could be the 2003 Disney movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl? Not black & white though.

            It’s spoken by Captain Hector Barbossa (played by Geoffrey Rush) to Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) during a tense moment on the island. The full exchange is:

            Barbossa: “You’re a cruel one, Jack Sparrow. You’ve doomed us all!”
            Jack Sparrow: “Not all of us.”
            (Elizabeth then shoots Barbossa with a pistol.)
            Barbossa: “I had to shoot you, darling. It’s nothing personal. You’re just the only person I’ve ever met who is as evil as I am.”

            Could be the 1940 pirate film “The Sea Hawk”, starring Errol Flynn and Claude Rains.

            In one scene, the villainous Captain Thorpe (played by Claude Rains) says to the protagonist, Geoffrey Thorpe (Errol Flynn), something along the lines of:

            “I had to save you—you’re the only man I’ve ever met who’s as big a scoundrel as I am!”

            Another possibility is “Captain Blood” (1935), also starring Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone, where rival pirates exchange similar banter.

            Other options are:

            • “The Black Swan” (1942) (with Tyrone Power)
            • “The Buccaneer” (1938) (with Fredric March)

      I hope something rash does happen. Like, the kind of rash thing that cuts the number of idiots in this feud in half. Enemy of my enemy and all that.
