    Keep in mind, this is just what he’s actually admitting to. Like with all liars and cheats, the reality is usually much, much worse

    affair with 2 Russian women

    Seriously, how long has Russia been playing this “let’s get the world’s rich and powerful in places where we can blackmail the shit out of them”?

    I learn a lot about him from the fact that he apologizes to his staff but not the victims.

      They weren’t victims. They were both adults. This is your standard billionaire affair as far as we know.

        pretty sure their talking about epstein survivors. I don’t think anyone outside of personal acquaintances really care about the affairs at this point.

            does it matter? it’s pretty obvious everyone of a certain wealth knew exactly what epstein was up to. knowingly and intentionally having ties with someone like that is enough for the epstein victims to deserve more of an apology than his employees.

    Strange he’s apologizing for the women he cheated with but not the crotch rot.

    Even if the claim of an STD is the single untruth in a sea of other now-admitted truths relating to his serial adulteries, just the fact that he was that careless should not be going without comment.

    She’s well out of that marriage.

    If he is introducing unknown trojans to Melinda, how can we trust Microsoft Windows 12 Copilot ShittyOS-1?

    Who among us hasn’t tried to secretly slip their spouse some illegally obtained antibiotics so that they don’t discover you gave them an STD you caught while cheating on them at the home of your pedophile sex trafficking Mossad blackmailer buddy, in an attempt to stop them getting some of your billions of dollars in a divorce? I mean come on, is that really so bad?

    Yeah no this doesn’t go away with a half-assed apology to the wrong people. If he wants absolution he knows what he has to do

      Not saying hes telling the truth, but I think being a billionaire attracts women on its own

        My favorite opener for a while was “would you let bill gates have sex with you whenever he chose, for a full year, for a billion dollars?” It’s a question that got people going.

        I knew I could respect anyone who replied affirmatively or questioned why I decided to start the conversation that way. These were reasonable folks who held an understanding of the vastness of a billion dollars, or saw how unsettling I or my question were.

        The rare few were revolted by the premise. Either replying homophobically or in disgust at gates himself. These people were usually either not too bright or trying to put on a facade, in one respect or another.

        Which is to say, discarding the idea of gaining a large sum of money is just not something that most reasonable people do. And many people view him less as a person and more as a portal to his treasury, until they’re forced to think about him. I agree with you

          I would probably do it. Bill Gates is probably not willing to do it that often. I’m probably not his type, and the logistics of him showing up to whenever I am make it even less likely. I’m thinking maybe once or twice in a year, and a billion dollars is a lot of money.

            That’s where I settled as well. “Change the world” level money for, at most, a few hundred hours of work. Probably closer to a dozen, if that. You’d be a fool to pass it up

    So this means he’s donating all his money directly to people suffering financial insecurity, along with education on how to not be immediately taken advantage of by unscrupulous scammers, right? That could be the only possible way this wankstain could earn any amount of actual respect from the rest of society.

    Treason investigation on top of pedo investigation! Oh wait, this is the US. Land of the corrupt, home of the pedos. Nothing will happen.
