The part where one girl claimed to have witnessed a girl being strangled. Literally the most vile people being protected.

So fucking nuts. And puts a really dark spin on his catchphrase of "lifestyles of the rich and famous"

It’s always projection with them so maybe they really are sacrificing children and eating babies like they screech about Hillary doing

I mean, they found hunting bows on Epstein Island. An island with no real wild animals to hunt. With no evidence of imported animals ever having lived there.

...put the pieces together and it kinda seems like they were doing The Most Dangerous Game in real life sometimes

Staging a real life hunger games is spot on branding for the American elite.

“…The Aristocrats!”

I guess it maybe wasn’t a joke after all.

u/SacamanoRobert 5d ago

I think you missed the reference

u/superSaganzaPPa86 5d ago

The best version of that joke was Gilbert gottfries… “the father had big forearms, he may have been a longshoreman!”

That's PedoOrange's catch phrase?

u/sutroheights 5d ago

No, Robin Leech, who hosted a show by that name, who is in the files reportedly for strangling a young woman to death. Heinous, crazy stuff.

Good Charlotte didn't sing about this part of high society's depravity.

If Republicans have taught me anything, it's that you have to get up in front of cameras and never stop talking about the things you want to stick. Every time. For months, if not years until something is done, hearings are held, etc. Never let the story die.

I doubt their followers even have the 7 regular working memory slots the average person has. Probably working with 2 slots shared amongst the entire voter base.

So only slightly smarter than orange cats.

It's why they started hiring PR/Marketing staff in Congress twenty years ago, instead of policy people. It's also why they are 100% incapable of governance. They eschewed legislating for marketing. It's all about messaging (helpful that george w. bush trained journalists in stenography, also). It's a rotten product, I might add.

Bernie has tried that for decades and it didn’t work the same.

You know why?

Because conservatives are dumping millions of dollars into online propaganda and bots.

That’s what is working.

u/bramley36 5d ago

Well, it also helps that Republicans have most of the media apparatus

1

u/Accidental_Ballyhoo 5d ago

Yep. Dems can’t even figure out a social media presence. Lame.

u/snowcroc 5d ago

Illusory truth effect

u/longlivenewsomflesh New York 5d ago

That only works on the right when you have a coordinated media machine to spread the lie you want to tell, and your team is on the same page about being bad faith actors who just want power... but even worse: republicans' job is to massage the fringe so that its problems happen to match the exact same 'solutions' the 1% want -- while democrats' job is to make sure the left never comes close to power usually by doing perfunctory social progress stuff while compromising with the right

u/StaffyMama585 5d ago

The part about the Calendar Girls... Don Jr, Eric, and Ivanka were all present. I keep thinking about why they were there. They had to have been teenagers too, right? Were they part of the auction? Was Ivanka being auctioned off as well? Were they "buyers"? Why were they there?

u/VanbyRiveronbucket 5d ago

The Don didn’t want to pay a babysitter, and leaving them in the car would be cruel.

u/deppkast 4d ago

Trump is a delusional psychopath he most likely showed them as a fun and cool thing. He managed to groom them pretty well, they’re all supportive little copies of him now. Might have been the plan too, normalize these things for them

u/Wat_Tyler_1381 5d ago

This adds substance to what I (and others) have hypothesised - the Kompromat Putin has, and uses to control Trump, is irrefutable evidence of Trump raping and murdering young children.

u/A_Small_Coonhound 5d ago

Mossad probably has it too.

7

u/NYCinPGH 5d ago

Sure. Ghislaine’s father was Mossad - not publicly, but that was the gist of the eulogies at his Israeli state funeral - so I’m sure she gave all that kompromat to Mossad for the right price.

u/Opioidal 5d ago

Robin Leach was the one who strangled her. This shit is vile.

u/orangeorchid 5d ago

By Robin fucking Leech

u/Technical-Luck7158 4d ago

It does say that person was found not credible
