Suppose someone leaks something irrefutable of him trafficking, raping, and murdering whole families to keep it quiet. He would rather nuke the whole planet before going to prison.

And nothing would happen and people would still vote for him. I mean he is a despicable person and people think he is the second coming of Jesus. What about Trump says he's a Christian.

His upside down bible and bigotry.

the unholy trinity, sacriligious, misogyny and racism

Exactly.

My wife assumes Trump became President second time around purely to keep a lid on the Epstein thing

I think that's conspiracy theory territory but... 🤷

He has done a lot of things that should put him in prison forever. I think child trafficking and rape is just one facet of this. Selling top secret documents and murder is up there too.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

you should consider some of the people voting for him, are just like him. either pedophiles themselves, or pedo sympathesizers, and there are many in the second group.

So we really think she's just going to take any deal at face value when she has compromising information on him? She's a lot of terrible things, but she's not naïve. She's gotta know they're not just gonna let her walk.

[–] nymnympseudonym@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Good point. If Trump wants to emulate Daddy Putin... he's gonna make a Prigogzhn out of someone

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's not just Trump she has to worry about, it's everyone on that list who you l she doesn't name, who wants to keep it that way.

The problem with this theory is that accusations like this need to be really specific (dates/times/corroboration etc.).

Either she/they make stuff up, which will fall apart quickly, especially with high profile people constantly in the public record, or it’ll be true in which case, fuck ‘em.

The thing that would undo this theory is the same thing behind the refusal to release the files, in my opinion. If people knew where to look with the corroborating info in the files it would probably be pretty easy to connect the dots on who actually was involved.

if a high profile person gets outed, that person might go scorched earth start naming names on the files. people on the epstein island have to know other people on there as well.

[–] LilB0kChoy@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

I agree. It’s actually exactly what I said in another comment here.

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

or it’ll be true in which case, fuck ‘em

yyyyyyyes… but also, there are for SURE just as many if not more republicans (the number of republicans convicted of various sex crimes is literally 10x higher than democrats). if it’s just a big ol list of democrats, i agree: fuck em! but also, that too can just be a tool to perpetrate the larger crime of further entrenching fascism

[–] LilB0kChoy@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think it’s highly likely at least some democrats would know who some of those republicans are. Then it’s just a domino run as they all trip over themselves to sell each other out. I doubt political alignment overcomes their perversion.
