WSJ: Justice Department Told Trump in May That His Name Is Among Many in the Epstein Files*
Posted by ECEIllinois

Apparently it’s Kash as their source. Trump should have never hired 100% sycophants.*
Posted by Toonces
|
More importantly don’t hire someone with the crazy eyes
Posted by ATL

Won’t matter for much of his base. If there’s one thing his culturally Christian fans will tolerate
Posted by doubledown

Unlike every other crappy thing Trump has done, I think this would matter
Posted by Stu

Serious question
Posted by Sounder
|
Well, if the files showed that Epstein arranged for him to have sex with 14 year olds multiple times
Posted by Stu
|
Hypothetically, what if the girls were 17-19 instead of 14?*
Posted by Sounder
|
Almost no reaction. Everyone knows how he is.*
Posted by Stu
|
I am not an expert on sex trafficking
Posted by Sounder
|
My understanding is that when he commented on her boobs, ivanka was 16 or 15.*
Posted by ATL
|
commenting and fucking are two different things*
Posted by Sounder
|
The Justice Department told the world that Trump's name was in the Epstein files 9 times in February
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
this is what happens when you prioritize loyalty over competence*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
I mean duh...why would Ted Cruz's dad and Obama have created them and not put his name in there?*

Uhh, ya think*

There are more pictures of Trump with Epstein than there are trans athletes

The super-nice guy who took pics off my Facebook and posted them on the other board?

Yes, we've heard. Many times. I don't think we need to continue to hear it.

Then I would ignore my posts on the matter.

He made them look like big dumb dipshits so they turned on him.

Initial gaslighting?

The Catholic church covered up child rape for centuries.

So for 2 years the msm aggressively pushed back on his cognitive decline.

Hi Ari, still think Trump is the 1st president in history to get 90% approval within his own party?

Yeah, reports of his mental decline didn't impact his candidacy at all.

Yes, good point. The media never talked about Biden's age or cognitive fitness*

Lol, DOJ to talk to Maxwell. Can only imagine that conversation

(through former Trump defense counsel Todd Blanche, IIRC)*

Yes, that’s what all the big, blaring headlines say*
Posted by Stu
|
Like all of these?
Posted by ATL
|
It's a tricky spot for them though...they can't pardon Maxwell without re-igniting the wrath...
Posted by haighter
|
If you don't think Trump is crazy enough to pardon Maxwell
Posted by Sounder
|
If he pardons the one pedo conviction of the Epstein saga, MAGA-world lights on fire...
Posted by haighter
|
She only gets a pardon if she brings information that implicates democrats
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
It can't just implicate. It has to result in arrests and public perp walks. It's not going to...
Posted by haighter
|
Afraid we're just going to have to agree to disagree here.*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes

I thought you said you gave up drugs and alcohol*
Posted by Sounder
|
Take a trip over to Patriots.win to get the MAGA perspective on the topic...
Posted by haighter
|
I don't know what that is
Posted by Sounder
|
Yeah, the MAGA world has been super dogmatic when it comes to holding Trump accountable
Posted by Sounder
|
THIS TOPIC is the only topic they've broken ranks with him on. The whole reason...
Posted by haighter

We'll get him this time! I JUST KNOW IT!*
Posted by Sounder
|
What? *
Posted by haighter
|
Trump will do the bare minimum to weasel his way out of this
Posted by Sounder
|
They'll just shift all blame to the dead guy (Epstein) and minimize her role*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Yeah. They’ll be threading a pretty fine needle. *

If anything, Neck is demonstrating how people can respond to this bad-faith bullshit

He was born in Uganda to a father whose family has been living there for a century.

lololololololololol. So you what do you call white afrikaaners living there for hundreds of years?
Posted by LeatherneckIllini
|
I’d also call them African Americans. If you want to fit people into boxes do better at defining the

Elon is African American?
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider

It’d be easier to not weaponize bad faith shit in the first place. *

I think it’s perfectly acceptable for someone born in Africa to consider themselves African.

What is it like to have that much of a stick up your ass?

stickers - less noticeable at a distance and could be mistaken for hat flair*

Wow, the voters should remove him from office*

Maybe just beat him to the point of dying and hold off medical aid.*

Scott Bessent is a fucking moron

Yes; he's just playing a role and quietly trying to inject stability behind the scenes*
Posted by Stu

Exactly. Calculated bootlicking of a fascist leader for his own personal gain =/= stupidity
Posted by KingTalkyTiki Oh, and extra loathsome points when you're doing it to the detriment of your own community. "I'm thinking about engaging a lawyer."

Mamdani has these people on a string
Posted by ATL
|
I guess I don't see where they took the bait?
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider Are they not supposed to discuss the mayoral election in NY at all?
|
His entire campaign is premised on getting exposure through his social media channels
Posted by ATL
|
He's basically the presumptive mayor of NYC. He's not really fighting an uphill battle here
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
They're going to spend $100 plus million to stop him

I don't think he wins by 20 points or comes close to it*

Trump 100% colluded with Russia. He talks about it too much for it to be otherwise. *

I will say that Trump trying to normalize arresting and prosecuting former presidents is
Posted by doubledown
|
I feel like we're entering the phase of Trump's presidency where it's no longer sustainable
Posted by Sounder
|
What makes you think any of this isn't sustainable? He's doing what his electorate...
Posted by haighter
|
What do you think he's doing that his electorate wanted him to do
Posted by Sounder
|
Most of his base thinks he has been stacking wins since day one. Twitter isn’t the real world*
Posted by OB25
|
His base isn't the real world, either, and everything he does slices a tiny part off of it*
Posted by Sammich
|
It's very telling that he says he has 90% approval
Posted by Sounder
|
This is the biggest problem, they literally live in an alternate reality
Posted by Sounder
|
He's not a Democrat and he's pugilistic toward them. End of story. That will sustain. *
Posted by haighter
|
So you're just not going to answer the question
Posted by Sounder
|
You think any of the things you listed are more important to his supporters than that? *
Posted by haighter
|
I think the economy and inflation are more important yes
Posted by Sounder
|
Any potential negative economic impacts haven’t really hit yet, at least not to a meaningful degree
Posted by OB25
|
The thing about the Epstein list
Posted by Sounder
|
Which brings me back to my point...you think this is "unsustainable"? *
Posted by haighter
|
yes, I think that the currently level of chaos that he has created over six months
Posted by Sounder

No there doesn’t. Why do you keep saying that. *
Posted by assassin

So then it is sustainable. *
