Of course he will. Pedophiles have to stick together, after all.

Not only has Donald trump raped children, there's a lot pointing to him being involved in smuggling them in to be raped by others as well.

It's the most likely reason to exclusive hire underage children to be massage therapists...

Or to openly brag you bought a child's beauty pageant just so you can gawk at them changing...

Or to have a decades long close friendship with a child trafficker...

It's honestly crazy anyone thinks he didn't rape kids.

Wait, are you telling me Donald "grab 'em by the pussy" Trump is a child rapist?!?! That's fake news!!!

Yeah, like the info that's coming out can be easily pieced together by anyone, and that's just the tippity top of the ice berg

You'd think, but I have talked to people who think that him "banning Epstein" from mar-a-lago as him being innocent in the whole thing... they'll stick their head in the sand to protect the chief-pedo.

Trump on Maxwell: "I wish her well."

Interesting that this is the only occasion where this blowhard shitheel doesn't pretend to know everything about the subject.

Charapaso@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 337d

Right? No childish nicknames, no rage-fueled late night social media posting, no off kilter diatribes during an unrelated speech. He's just, transparently cool with a child trafficker. It is so mind numbingly damning I'm split between being horrified and fascinated by how his supporters refuse to connect any dots.

He always treats people who have shit over him very nicely. Putin, Bibi, Maxwell, etc.

I mean, this isn't a distraction. This is very specifically the opposite of releasing the Epstein files.

kat_angstrom@lemmy.world · 51 pts · 337d

Surprising no one, since people have been calling this for months

She's a foreigner pedophile, of course she's on the fast track to pardon town

Linktank@lemmy.today · 31 pts · 337d

Nobody ever talks about where the new Island is, who the NEW Epstein is.

What you thought they stopped when they were caught? Who do you think we're talking about here?

Saw a luxury liner header for Saipan... Where's the new Island??

Trump responded, in part, regarding Maxwell, "I haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ.

That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

At this point, I'm starting to think that they should have put it in the Constitution that you cannot pardon anybody who you have a social/monetary/business connection to.

Dionysus@leminal.space · 16 pts · 337d

social/monetary/business

Forgot to list "criminal" for this case

It's almost like pardoning random people is just stupid. You know Obama for example could've pardoned Snowden, but didn't, because Americans would be mad because they don't know what an actual hero looks like. But what would i gaaaain from that? I need to gaaain something from my mighty pardon. Instead they use it to free pedophiles and racists.

SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 336d (1 reply)

Why allow pardons at all. Most countries don't do this.

MeThisGuy@feddit.nl · 2 pts · 336d

because muh freedom, amurika, and the possibility of the death penalty

DaddleDew@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 337d (3 replies)

Am I missing something? Has anyone anywhere actually asked for the pardon for someone who committed sex trafficking?

Inaminate_Carbon_Rod@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 337d

Oh I’m sure she did.

Tower@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 336d (1 reply)

Yeah, she asked back around when the "interview" was being conducted

So all criminals who committed atrocities have to do is just ask to be released? How nice.

That suggests Trump will take the repercussions for them. Maybe try this template?

Well. That's weird.

If you are a terrorist or a pedo aligned with Orange Jesus, you can rely on a pardon, I guess.
