While the intake report memorialized allegations that multiple girls were murdered and buried at a Trump golf course, newly released Epstein records suggest federal investigators ultimately viewed the source skeptically. Other FBI summaries released by the Justice Department indicate complainants making similar allegations were “deemed not credible,” and no publicly released records show that authorities excavated any Trump golf course or uncovered evidence supporting the claims.
Guess the rich only ever saw consequences once: France in 1792
What would America's Storming the Bastille moment even look like? Storming the child-rape mansion that is Mar-a-Lago? Who's head would get carried away on a pike? Miller's? Theil's? Musk's?

“As you know I represent the Rothschild’s”
You think it’s a coincidence Ivanka Trump “discovered” an Island they wanted to develop as a luxury resort for billionaires while on (in kushner’s own words) Nat Rothschild’s yacht? You think it’s a coincidence Don Jr married Epstein s bankers daughter? The Trumps have been trafficking and most likely murdering children for decades.

It"s very clear that the trumps are building a personal empire and what is even more clear is that they are getting away with it as well. Like, how is it so easy? Is there no one just enough to standup to that? No one?

It’s easy because money buys protection. If you’re making a ton of money, you’re probably doing shitty things or associated with doing skeptical things for shitty people which means there’s blackmail.
Basically, they keep each other in line and protect their wealth which can be used against anyone that comes after them because those people don’t have wealth.

On one hand it's important to remember that the allegations were not deemed credible enough by investigators at the time, but on the other hand this is Epstein and his BFF (the orange one) we are talking about. For the moment I'm going to take this with a grain of salt. However, I would certainly love for someone to do a proper investigation of these allegations so we can all finally learn the truth.
Also, "underage sex parties" sure is a weak-ass way to say "rape parties", because we know that's what it really was, or would be if/when the allegations are finally proven.

But he got at least 6 allegations coming from his time with Epstein (and that's the ones we know of) and he has so many more allegations from women that weren't involved in the Epstein case. He was also found liable of rape in the E Carroll case.
The man is a giant lecherous creep and he has a Wikipedia page dedicated just to his sexual misconduct and allegations. That page has like 30 separate entries. It disgusts me that he got even a single vote.

After a successful op in Venezuela, he thought he could boost his rep with another one, and then blew it in Iran.

But he'll fuck it up, and kill lots of American troops, and innocent Cubans, and even the American Cubans will get pissed off, and he'll be in an even worse situation than before.

There's no need to push beyond what's already proven verifiable facts. Trump is a liar, was on Epstein's plane many times, and was close friends with known pedophile Epstein. That's enough fact to know he's a disgusting lying fuck.

Military enlistment is hitting lows not seen since the depths of the Iraq War and moral is so low in the US Navy that people are sabotaging their own boats (ie, the "laundry fire" that took the state-of-the-art $18B USS Gerald Ford out of commission).
We've seen strike waves in Midwestern states. We've seen mass protests against data centers and detention centers. We've seen a fresh new wave of alt-media journalists getting propped up by millions of people who are desperate for reliable and useful information. We've seen an Arab Socialist take over the Mayorship of the wealthiest city in the country.
Americans are clearly doing shit.
But we've also seen a Tech Oligarch rampage. Mass evictions. Mass arrests. Mass firings. Tens of thousands of unemployed gooners joining the most brutal and repressive state police agencies. We've seen white nationalists parading around downtown districts. We've seen Zionist mobs lead by war criminals parade down Lower Manhattan with the support of both major parties. Scammers are conning and looting their neighbors at unprecedented rates. People are pickling their brains on social media, radicalizing, and shooting up neighborhoods. The LGBTQ community is at once congealing into a kind of activism we haven't seen since the 1970s and suffering wave after wave of criminal prosecution and vigilante assault.
Americans are going abroad to fight as mercenaries in foreign wars and going abroad to flee the fascism at home. Americans are building up mutual aid groups in their own backyard and narcing on those aid groups to the cops in order to tear them down. Americans are rallying around the Cross and the Flag, fully intent on doing a pogrom against the infidels. And Americans are rallying around the Cross and the Flag, fully intent on defending liberty, overthrowing the corrupt oligarchy, and returning to civil governance.
Americans are doing a lot of shit. We're at each others' throats. We are holding each other's hands. But this idea that nothing is happening is built on the false narrative that liberals only lose when they're apathetic, rather than when they're getting overpowered.

Conspiracy theorists could "in theory" use chemical sniffers attached to mini drones to detect gasses given off by human corpses and run the courses to narrow down where the bodies could be.
I would totally love to see the graphs and accumulation data on their findings...

Invading the UK would be wild. It would almost certainly finally sever the ties between the US and Europe, but I could see the UK and Germany doing their darnedest to make it seem like a reasonable mistake that we can all walk away from as long as the US leaves.

America will never jail a president. The country will end before they lose face. Which is why my bets are on the country dissolving. No matter how low or high those odds are. An American president will never face justice.

Terribly misleading, intentionally and maliciously so. From the article:
So while the “stop trump at all costs” plan was in motion, a single person contacted the fbi and simply made an allegation.
It’s nothing.
ohulancutash@feddit.uk · -3 pts · 76d
The storming of the Bastille was a farce. The mob killed 94 people on the way in, murdered the governor and pensioners and guards after they had surrendered, and discovered that there were only 7 inmates of which one was an aristocrat suspected of murder and one was an Irishman (both being held at request of their own families). The revolutionaries wished to execute all foreigners and all aristocrats, leaving just 5 prisoners, 4 of which were forgers and one an attempted regicide.

So depressing to see this get this many upvotes on lemmy. I want to go back to that brief period where I mistakenly believed that the userbase of lemmy was a bit more intelligent and skeptical than reddit's. Nope, still just voting on gut reactions to headlines on whether they fit confirmation bias or not.
'sure it's just an unsubstantiated fbi tip that doesn't make any sense if you actually read it. but trump bad so it must be true' A random guy making a salacious claim about a former president without any evidence isn't news just because you want to believe it.
+bonus round 'oh you're skeptical of an unsubstantiated salacious claim somebody made about a former president? do you think trump good or something?'
JamesTBagg@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 74d
Considering how much information they had linking Epstein and Trump, and the tip told them where bodies are buried, you think they'd at least get some cadaver dogs out to sniff around the 19th hole.
mgrecca2026@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 74d
he was already convicted of falsifying business accounts in New York. Its ridiculous that the Supreme Court allowed him to stand for election in 2024

spacesatan@lazysoci.al · 0 pts · 74d
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the fbi probably needs a higher standard of evidence than "trust me bro" to get a warrant on a freshly out of office former president. Good thing this guy claims to have incriminating recordings of trump and oh wait he conveniently can't produce them, definitely not suspicious. I'm going to assume 'I was in the sinaloa cartel but they let me leave because I was tight with Epstein' guy isn't throwing up even more nutjob red flags.
JamesTBagg@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 74d
He never claims he was in the cartel but that he worked with them trafficking teen girls. How do we know he couldn't produce corroborating evidence since the FBI didn't follow up. It's not the job of victims or tipsters to investigate. There's a while Bureau within the Federal government that's supposed to conduct Investigations. That bureau had plenty of evidence for years linking Trump, Maxwell and Epstein.
More, just trusting the government is a very odd choice.
Pacattack57@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 74d
There is so much wrong with Trump it’s irrelevant if this is true or not. He’s a criminal and belongs in prison
spacesatan@lazysoci.al · 1 pts · 74d
Ok so we agree "some random guy made an unsubstantiated tip to the fbi about a (then) former president" is not news or noteworthy.

Yeah, I haven't read the article yet, but the headline is certainly inflammatory. Change it to Biden and add some adrenochrome or satanic panic and it's q-nut BS. I just fucking looove that Blueanon is a thing now. Didn't we learn anything from that?
I guess we learned that people are stupid and gullible.
It makes me feel pretty down because it's so fucking hard to steer through the misinfo anymore. Hell, it could even be true. I'm too tired to dig on this one.
Practice information hygiene and stay skeptical!

Which is more likely:
A super-fucking-over-the-top and highly publicized group of predators are just out fucking about led by a felon and a totes dead dude who is definitely not still alive on his island
Or
It's an elaborate sting operation to not JUST get the actual predators selling their children to offer something to the orange cop-in-chief and otherwise, but to get the hate-filled idoltarers of the left to reveal themselves, just as the hate-filled idoltarers of the right would do over a black president in a tan suit?
You're just as insane to me, being ignorant of the nature of the POLICE STATE that's described in the New Testament at an eighth grade reading level.

Oh. You're one of those people that think they're a featherless biped on standing on the "outside" world.

You're not a featherless biped on the Earth. Everything you experience is self-contained within your neurons, yea? Everything you experience is inside you, yea? Well, you're experiencing these words, yea? So the Earth and everything you experience of the "outside" world is inside you.
Bro doesn't even know the truth that is plainly stated in sutras. How tf can bro know the truth from the lies when we engineered our culture to control those people who cannot think for themselves whilst simultaneously guiding those waking up to the topological MATRIX we are not IN but ARE into the occult, which is a word that just means "hidden."

I'm skeptical. Sex with underage girls is believable but murder, no. Had girls been murdered surely the parents would have told the police that their daughter was missing. It doesn't appear that Epstein dealt with homeless girls.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 76d
These are the elites of sex trafficking, of course they would make sure to do it to kids without parents (or in the Lake Michigan case, killing a newborn while the mother is right there, knowing that the cops will never believe her)

That's the thing, the authorities are very likely involved in the rape/murder. They'd be investigating themselves.

I suspect Epstein preferred higher class girls such as those employed at his place rather than those living in the streets.
unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 76d
I don't know shit about anything but in the human trafficking shitass scenario, the victims don't have parents or anyone to look after them. Epstein had an elaborate network and was presumably expensive. I don't believe most of what I see about Epstein, and he was undeniably a tiny little turd. A cheap little turd who would steal a human. Of course he dealt with, as you say, homeless girls

There’s no such thing as an underage girl. The correct word is child
ohulancutash@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 76d
A child only goes up to puberty; then they become an adolescent. So underage girl is more accurate, despite the snappiness of the slogan.
