Just reiterating that Epstein didn't kill himself.
Nah, at this point its hard to not believe he was killed by Trump
Might not have been trump that pulled the trigger just given how comically huge the crowd of people who wanted him dead was.
No but we know the FBI testimony about Trump forcing a child's mouth onto his cock and punching her for her laughing got diverted and not filed for nearly twice as long as it mandated to be filed, and finally got filed the day before Epstein was offed. That Trump discussed blackmail with Epstein during that time period, and that the feds shut down the investigation into Epstein's properties... Someone in the federal government with enough power to enact it had to be the culprit, and they certainly had to be doing it at his behest
graphic details about raping a child aren't exactly welcome or needed here, wtf dude.
I don't know why it has to be some vast conspiracy - a few bribes would be all anyone needed, and there's no end of people to choose from with both the money and influence to arrange it. It might not have been trump that pulled the trigger because someone got there first. We'll probably never know who it was - we just know at least one of the people that's covering it up.
Yeah, that's the best part about politics, people don't like details... Just broad speculation without witness statements? You might as well go to sleep and read an elementary school history book in a decade then. Your discussing a person convicted of crimes pertaining to sex and trafficking of children, what I said didn't even hit something rated above age 13
So for you the issue is that I'm not comfortable enough with child rape. Not that you're so desensitized you think that description is somehow PG, nor the actual argument I made... just that I didn't appreciate you included a graphic description of the internationally denounced horrific sex crimes in a discussion about a totally different meme crime.
Yeah politics is just too soft these days.
No I didn't have any knowledge of you having an issue with information, you brought up that you had an issue with it, complained about it, and then said I had an issue with you having an issue.
I'm glad you're not comfortable with rape, no one should be. Discussion about rape is something that should be expected in a discussion board about a rapist though.
If people don't realize what these people did, they will always continue to walk free. One could say you are actually standing in the way of that witness getting justice because they came forward and put themselves out there to ensure people knew the atrocious acts that happened. And you want have people cover their ears. Making the majority unaware. Which while you were trying to have good intent, really helps protect those who performed those atrocities.
Yes, the issue you brought up having a problem with was my objection to having that brought into this discussion. Your issue was I disliked having that brought up, which you characterized as being the problem with politics. I'm confused how that's relevant?
I'm not advocating for this to be hidden or obscured, I just didn't appreciate having details about graphic child rape brought up in a largely unrelated discussion. You trying to spin that into me somehow being at fault and trying to hide a victim's message because I'm uncomfortable with it is both insulting and wildly mischarcterizing what I said.
This is a discussion about a crime unrelated to donald trump raping a child - this is about epstien being killed. It's a different person and entirely different category of crime.

I could see a scenario where he was given the opportunity to kill himself.
Honestly, it would have made a whole lot of sense for him to just kill himself. He had to have known what was in store, he wasn't stupid. If he hadn't been on suicide watch, and if the rest of the coverup wasn't so ineptly transparent, the reasonable conclusion would be that yeah he 100% did himself in. Save everyone else the trouble and himself some potential discomfort, etc. But like... nah. This has been so stupidly poorly hidden.
But even him killing himself shouldn’t have been possible. The conspiracy isn’t murder. It’s enabling his opportunity to kill himself.
Maybe, yep! Or someone did go in and kill him, since it shouldn't have been possible, and then they released footage with missing time, and so on. He might have been enabled to do it or he might have been outright killed or whatever other option, but I don't know that the precise distinction even matters anymore given how obviously guilty someone is.
Right. Either way, there is a conspiracy. I think there is evidence that he did kill himself, but that isn’t evidence that there isn’t a conspiracy.
I think I'm still in complete agreement!
