No no, didn't you hear? His relationship with Epstein was purely business. That's why there are Trump branded condoms in the photo dump, it was purely a business thing.
Bill gates, bill Clinton, Steve bannon, trump and Epstein looking hot in a bathtub. Useless. That glove was fucking wild, i never seen shit like that. Kinda scared me, I'll get one on each hand and chase people in the town square, like an oiled up Mickey mouse.
Eh. I honestly think that's the real sign of the truly rich. Not sure how much Bannon has, but you'll notice that the centimillionaires and billionaires don't tend to spend a lot on truly useless signifiers of wealth like suits (or stupid sneakers that are way overpriced, or absurd clothes that advertise their own brand so you can be a walking billboard for someone's clothing line, etc. - that's for the underclass to aspire to, generally) and other baubles.
At least I don't see many of the men doing that. The women that have access to this wealth may do it, but it might be about trying to keep having access to that wealth, if you know what I mean.
You'll see some millionaire celebrities/music artists engaging in this sort of dumbassery, I suppose. It's a cliche of the nouveau riche to engage in buying up useless and pointless fashion.
The people that have true fuck you money? They tend to dress like shit and don't seem to spend much on clothes. Honestly, I get it - who are they trying to impress? They aren't trying to climb any corporate or social ladder. It's actually kind of a power move - they can wear whatever the hell they want because what else is anyone going to do about it? Dress codes are for the lower classes.
When it comes to Bannon, I think he's not quite in that stratosphere, but rubs elbows with such types. I think his brand at this point is to look like some bum that just rolled off a mattress under a bridge and sauntered to his current location. You think he would maybe trying to climb the socioeconomic ladder and dress the part, but...?
That’s not true. But their signifiers of wealth are invisible to the common folk. They wear sweaters that cost as much as a used car. Jackets that cost as much as new cars. Their watches cost more than a house.
I think a good look on how they live really is succession. The clothes they wear don’t look crazy expensive, to us. But they are more expensive than you could even imagine.

Set it on fire. Hell, at this stage it's so toxic it's close to spontaneously self combusting.

That video was stupid. 19 photos released, and they repeatedly cycle through just a few of them. I've already seen better coverage of this elsewhere.

Care to share a link?
Edit: never mind, I found the pictures. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/fq3vn18ltfd83re8ggtle/AHYB3CbERvyT38o_vHllVx4?rlkey=tz5pq4zr9i6nofkpi2g7l5vne&e=6&st=z46l8nor&dl=0

Working for me. I fact, it now appears to have jumped from 19 to
8392 images. Looks like new images are mostly just more pictures from the island.Edited to update the count. I think we can safely assume these will keep rolling in for a while.
