    thanks for saying shit we already knew, and confirming that you also knew yet still supported him while knowing he was a pedophile.

      Trump and Elon broke up (tldr, Elon is bad for optics and they both are sensitive with fragile egos) and now they’re beefing. But because they’re both man children, it’s through social media.

        What, Musk hasn’t thought something through before blabbing about it on the internet? I’m shocked.

      He’s the richest man in the world, he doesn’t need to be involved with Epstein at all, he’s rich enough to fund his own pedo ring

        I am a little dismayed that the world’s awareness of sex-trafficking and systemic child abuse seem to begin and end with Epstein.

        Does everyone think that this kind of vile luxury for the wealthy was centered around ONE person? There are billions of people on Earth, it’s not only still going on, but the ringleaders are celebrating that the world’s attention is on just one dude who was caught and killed for it.

          My assumption is that he was the Tiger Woods of pedophilic sex trafficking. He was the best, most well connected, and most “secret”.

          Ofc there are others, but they probably don’t have the traffic and volume that Epstein did.

          That is just optimistic thinking of course. There is the possibility that he was the least known, and there’s bigger badder traffickers still hiding in the dark.

          Well it’s sort of hard to obsess over cases we don’t know about. What do you want from people, self-funded investigations?

          If you have evidence then obviously you know what to do with it. When it comes out people can talk about that case too otherwise I don’t really know what you want.

          I think people are obsessing over this case because a bunch of rich and powerful people got publicly exposed as a part of the same ring, but there’s certainly way more out there. I’m sure a bunch other politicians, billionaires, clergymen, celebrities, and a whole host of other people with influence has their own rings all over the world.

            Also it’s not just a rich and powerful thing, there are unfortunately also middle class and poor people that abuse children. The thing about Epstein is that it’s mostly rich and powerful people that should be exposed and prosecuted. It sends a good message, even the richest and most powerful people can’t get away with it.

      Or was he a relevant name too late to be invited? In his early big boy years he was very busy seeming like humanity’s hope to live past the suns expansion.

    The big bomb would be a paper trail showing how they rigged the election.

    We’ve already seen the documents that say trump is a rapist paedophile.

      The election wasn’t rigged (in the sense you’re hoping for, or that MAGAs were alleging for the 2020 election). On a federal level it’s deeply broken because of state administration, voter suppression, loopholes allowing for billionaires to fund election campaigns and first past the post.

      On a state level from what I can tell it’s much the same with a few exceptions.

      I kinda doubt Musk had to do anything illegal to influence the election.

      That’s a massive claim, so it’ll require some substantial evidence. However, there are many statistical irregularities in swing states and other anomalies that haven’t occurred for 100+ years.

      There are already several SMART and ETA lawsuits in a few states to demand recounts/audits.

      There’s no way the election was rigged, this is 2020 election denial bullshit. The election results were in line with what the polls were showing, and it also shows in his approval ratings. The reality is that the people really wanted Trump again for some reason.

    A big bomb would have been definite proof that Trump isn’t in the Epstein files.

    Stating the obvious at the other hand isn’t.

    this is political theater, planned and staged infighting. and the liberals are going to absolutely EAT IT UP. the reality is that Trump has always been the fall guy, the scapegoat, the lightning rod.

    the ownership class utilized him to concentrate power, they use him as a distraction, and now they can use him at a scapegoat. they want to pretend to “switch teams” and get on our good side, so we forget how much they were the ones who hurt us.

    when you see this, just try to remind people of that. remind them who is holding us down.

      I don’t think they have as much control as you think, I just think they’re confident they can come out on top of whatever chaos he causes no matter what it is.

        what control are you denying?? it’s two dudes deciding whether or not to fight publicly. that’s all the planning and organization this would take.
