Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

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?

Every single person who has ever voted for a Republican is deep down a child molester without exception. Yeah, that means you, user reading this who voted for a Republican. Sicko.

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.

If it's an underage sex party it is a rape party. Underage cannot give consent so it is always rape.

[–] DeepThought42@lemmy.world 5 points 42 minutes ago

That was my point. Of course, that's contingent upon the allegations being proven true, but at this point I'm willing to bet there's at least some truth to them.

I’m tired of these “breaking news” stories about FBI tip line calls reporting stuff Trump did with Epstein.

##We are being played.##

I feel 100% certain that there is recorded evidence of Trump having sex with underage girls, but that is not what we have here. We are like cats chasing lasers on the floor while the real shit gets covered up.

Don’t fall for this distraction.

Agreed but I'm not 100% sure about him banging. Politics and The Game is all tricks. All I know is America is rotting beyond saving. And it's been rotting for decades.

I'm just going to Netflix and chill like all the other useless Americans... Oh yeah and I'll continue to fund this beast and pretend like I'm not partly responsible for the worthlessness that America has become.

We are all used. And we are literally paying to keep this social manipulation and slavery going.

Its like the american people don't even have a concept of their humanity or self worth. ...just a bunch on zombies buying lifestyle they were marketed for the sole reason of being cattle for the monsters that own the farm. It's like America is some psychotic kids dollhouse and the people are being played with.

We've been warned for decades. And people still fall for the psychological plays.

...it's actually worse than that though. Because it's not just america... There's a reason this shit doesn't change... It's so much bigger than people assume and you have to step back see the full game, chaos, crime, and world geopolitics. None of this is about the betterment of humanity...

When the time is right, America will go back to the democrats but it will still just be a play by the people above it all. We don't win it's just another flavor of bullshit. They'll make you think your free again and shovel more materialistic escapism and dopamine fixes down your throat for you to lose your soul to. And it's sad because Americams are fine doing just that and that's exactly why we are where we are today.

Chucky ár lá, friend. The horizon says "soon."

[–] Shortrib@lemmy.world 18 points 2 hours ago

How many Americans could shake the FBI off their tails just by claiming the witnesses are not perfect? Weirdly, the existence of Epstein is more understandable than the decades-long tolerance by all levels of government.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

Nothing will happen.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It's hard to tell anymore. The other stuff the tipster said sounds crazy, but who tf knows in this timeline.

Among the allegations in the report, the caller claimed to have recordings of Trump, Epstein, and Maxwell discussing “marketing strategies” for high-profile sex parties held at a Trump golf course. The caller alleged the recordings had been mailed to an attorney in the Cayman Islands.

[–] wagesj45@fedia.io 1 points 37 minutes ago

Cool. So when do we start bombing and invading the Cayman Islands? I'm sure they'll make a great 51st state.

[–] panthera_@lemmy.today 0 points 25 minutes ago

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.
