Is that what "chaotic good" means in D&D ?
Shit dude I think I'll do that too
"Long dead ip addresses not seen since 2016 clicked on these ads, sir!"
“Jesus christ that’s u/Draegur…”
Or you could just use Ghostery and save yourself and your devices the hassle while accomplishing the same ends 🤷
i thought i remember hearing something bad about ghostery a few years back?
their website is really.. pretty these days
I wonder who's drip feeding this info about Epstein and Trump? They're certainly having fun.
I mean, they probably could've dropped it in 2016, 2020 or 2024, so why now?
Trump has done a huge amount of damage and his job is done. Whoever is burning him probably has no further use for him or recognizes the lost cause.
If that's the case, they must have a succession plan
Why bother with a succession plan if you already got everything you wanted and nobody's gonna roll it back?
It's not like the Dems will reverse much if any of the tax cuts and the like if free and fair (by post-60s US standards, at least) elections are ever allowed again. The ratchet effect doesn't have an exception for fascism or other absurdly extreme policy.
Nah, they have infiltrated elections enough that they think they will control them from now on. JD is Thiel’s puppet, Musks party doesn’t exist, and the Dems are guilty of letting it happen, but aren’t a threat since they won’t ever be back in power if the MAGATs plan works out.
I'm sure s strongly worded letter is being written right now.

JDV probably. Unfortunately.
I unfortunately think you're right, it's who Peter Thiel and Murdoch can both agree on
It's been the plan from the start. Get HitlerPig elected, let him fuck around in his inimitable style until everyone gets fully fed up, then replace him with Vance. Theil holds Vance's leash, so it will be just a foreign Sociopathic Oligarch running America from the shadows.

the guess would be Israel.
B/c they are becoming just too embarrassed? I mean, c’mon. Not really having a good look lately, ya know?
To be embarrassed, its a prerequisite that you have shame.
No. Now because their support is beyond paper thin. They're committing an atrocity that will be remembered at the level of the holocaust and they couldn't be doing it without Trumps/ the US's backing. And among MAGA? They're split on supporting Israel. The ones who went to MAGA because they're racist and thought it was good sport, they support Israel. Those who were genuine "America First" MAGA? They don't want us spending money on Israel either.
There is a very real moment happening right now that if the appropriate pressures can be placed, MAGA might be able to be cleaved, at least in part, from supporting Trump. Look at MTG's vote in the house. Even a small percentage getting pulled away would be more than enough. There is a real chance to stop Trumpism in this moment.
And Israel can't have Trump cutting them off in an effort to salvage his coalition. It would be red-meat for the America firsters.
I like this talk. Can we please have some more dialogue regarding this matter? I would like to believe that we can. Anyone else have any feedback? I’m all ears until bedtime.
It doesn't have to be a conspiracy. It can just be that the editors know that people are likely to click on Trump - Epstein stories now.
Any journalist who had a story turned down at some point in the past because there were bigger stories is going to be pulling it out and trying to get it to run again. Archivists are going to go through every Trump - Epstein story that already did run once and trying to run it again.
I think he's saying he wonders if it's for nefarious gain or not
We haven't heard from Melania in a while...
CNN’s KFile uncovered the raw footage during a review of archival video of Trump at events in the 1990s and 2000s.
Trump's wedding was a media event, lots of cameras were there. They just sifted through their own tapes.
I watched a couple interviews with Michael Wolff on youtube. He said Epstein tried to hire him to write his biography and showed him photos of DJT with young looking women that could have been underage teenagers. (Or just young looking, he didn't know) He also said he tried to take the story to journalists/news orgs multiple times over the years, but none of them would touch it. Until now. So yeah, people tried, like Katie Johnson, and the stories got squashed. Or like the Access Hollywood tape, it was widely reported and he still won the election in 2016. Teflon don, indeed.

Ok, so in 40 years all these files will be released and we will learn that highest level officials from US government were successfully targeted by Israeli honeypot operation using sex trafficked minors to gather incriminating videos of them and blackmail them into... supporting genocide? Is that it? It kind of feels like trying to figure out which celebrity was also involved is supposed to distract everyone from important parts like who hired and financed Epstein and what did they get in return.
Maybe the homegrown Evangelicals anticipating some form of war in Israel leading to the rapture are looped in there somewhere. Something like a weird rich American Freemason group blackmailing politicians to support Israel. Totally spit-balling here, and I know it sounds crazy, but the Epstein-CIA-Israel-Blackmail situation is already pretty wild.
Oh definitely they are. I still wonder how they don't see Trump as the Antichrist.
To be charitable, they aren’t the best known for their critical thinking skills 😂
Spread the word trumps a child fucker. Post it everywhere say it everywhere, don’t let it be overlooked or covered up.
One of the top comments in EVERY Epstein File post I open is:
Trump Raped Kids.
I approve, carry on.
I think you mean TRK, no need to spell it out each time
Naw, I like to make it crystal clear.
The other commenter clearly hasn't dealt with many Trump supporters.
Spell it out each and every time, make them read the truth.
Call pedohat wearers pedohats. Anyone who protects him is a pedo and they’re probably on the list. “Billionaire?” More like “Pedophile.” Call America the pedo nation. Pedoland. They follow a pedo ruler. A nation of pedos. Nothing but a hive of slobbering genocidal pedophiles.
I just call them MAGAs. Whether they did it or not, they ALL support suppressing the files, so they are ALL complicit. Same with any Dems who go along with it. They are either Pedophiles, or Pedophile Enablers. Not much difference as far as I'm concerned.
I guess this counts as ranting from my behalf.
So what? What will revealing all of this do to those involved? Will the American public do anything about it?
I'm fucking tired of reading about how shitty people are shitty and continue getting away with it while the public does absolute jack shit
It does make Trump's life more miserable if it becomes a long runner. This is like the one scandal that hasn't been a net positive so far, partially because of he's at the top of the world atm, but also because it was such MAGA red meat. And it's really conspicous that he didn't lean into it, like he does with every other controversy; he's reacting like a normal politician caught in the cookie jar.
Reality doesn't matter, no, but it is eating into his.
"The fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep."
Well duh. You kick the creep out of pedo club for drawing attention. A lion that can't hide doesn't get the kill; they have to Mary Mo the bones later.
Trump dumped Epstein because you always drop the teammate holding you back when the prize is a feast.
If the cult leader ginning up his base to hunger for the heads of pedos while being a giant pedo himself is the thing that finally brings down the melting mango, I think I'll laugh for awhile at how being a complete dumb piece of fuck was what finally got him in the end.
It is bloody weird that a millionaire cheat (in every sense of the word) will be the one who breaks up the global elite
My theory is that prominent Republicans don’t really care about Epstein, but the outrage gives them an excuse to turn on Trump while saving some face and having safety in numbers. The MAGAs are also outraged, but only because their favorite influencers told them to be.
even russia is tired of him, because of the whole bombing of iran thing, could hurt russia in the long run so he is directing his grifters to say some stuff about trump, not all of them though.
I am enjoying the tantamount trouble it’s inducing.
"tantamount". I love it! That will be my word of the week. Thanks!
Not just American.
