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?

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Too bad America seems to be fresh out of patriotic blood so tyrants run rampant.

“As you know I represent the Rothschild’s”

  • Jeffery Epstein

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.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

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?

[–] Cease@mander.xyz -1 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Epstein's banker daughter? What? Epstein didn't have any public kids and don jr married two models....

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 5 points 2 hours ago

There's a bit of missing punctuation, perhaps - Epstein's banker's daughter.

The daughter of one of the people who dealt with Epstein's finances.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Not exactly up on current affairs are you? Maybe do some research before you publicly dismiss someone https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/quick-hit-donald-jr-marries-woman-whose-father-was-jeffrey-epsteins-banker/

[–] Cease@mander.xyz 4 points 2 hours ago

Ohhhh banker's daughter not banker daughter the apostrophe was missing

also relax lmao

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 hours ago

I know “sex parties” is a quote from the file and is therefore correctly cited, but the term is rape.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 28 points 6 hours ago (5 children)

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.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 3 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, most of the Epstein files have not been released. That is an objective fact. And obviously it is the worst (for Trump) which they have held back, even though the stuff they have released is already pretty bad for him.

They are not going to release anymore though.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

RAPING. The world you were looking for is RAPING. Trump RAPING underage girls.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

There is no such thing as an underage girl. The correct word is child. Is there a such thing as an underaged boy? Never heard that. Stop using the pedophile language please. Child they are children

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

We're all on one side against the pedophilic oligarchs, can we stop having this shitty little outrage contest at each other? This anger at one another is misdirected.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Underage girl is a term meant to lighten the crime

[–] borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

How is it lightening the crime if the definition of girl is a female child? I’m confused.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Ignore my point then, fine. I'm talking to all y'all.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, Epstein died 7 years ago, during Trumps first term as president, and since neither Trump's nor Biden's administrations released the files entirely so far, there is a huge risk that the most damming evidence has been lost or tampered with.

At this point, I hope that there are a few agents who has managed to save unaltered copies of the files in a hidden locked box, just waiting for a good opportunity (for themselves) to release them.

Humm, that would be an interesting development....

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 hours ago

Yeah calling bullshit on this dribbling of alleged information.

[–] IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com 0 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

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."

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 27 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] DeepThought42@lemmy.world 34 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

But the allegations kept coming in. Like I get one or two instances, could just reason that as people trying to get some money off a rich guy. 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.

[–] bigfish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] DeepThought42@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Shortrib@lemmy.world 45 points 7 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 8 points 7 hours ago

Nothing will happen.

[–] Arancello@aussie.zone 0 points 3 hours ago

its a waste of time reading these things as usa people won’t do anything about it

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours 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 6 hours ago

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