This is not being reported in the U.S. news media. Maybe you can argue it’s because it’s July 4th, but if this doesn’t come out in a major way tomorrow, I guess the fix is in.
“Trump’s name appears over and over again on Jeffrey Epstein’s message logs in the grand jury docs released this week. It is also undisputed: Trump’s name appears 7 times on Epstein’s private jet flight logs, that Epstein flew on Trump’s jet with a young girl of indeterminate age, girls who Epstein trafficked worked at Mar-A-Lago, a girl Epstein trafficked mentioned visiting Trump’s casino in a recently released deposition transcript. Trump said Epstein is a great guy who likes girls on the younger side, Trump frequently “partied” with Epstein, Trump wished Ghislaine Maxwell well at her criminal trial, and someone who testified under the pseudonym JANE DOE at the Ghislaine Maxwell criminal trial stated that she was introduced to Trump by Epstein when she was 14 years old,” a user posted on X.
There’s literally nothing Donald Trump could do that would make his worshipping voters change their minds about him. They believe anything critical of him is a lie and made up to hurt him politically. I can’t believe how dumb the electorate has become. Must be a general lack of education.
Must be a general lack of education.
Republican politicians have long used language targeted at a 5th grade level of comprehension. Trump’s big innovation in politics was targeting a 4th grade level.
I often hear conservative family members complain about the public school system and calling for it to be dismantled. To them, the public school system is the reason for every evil the US faces, both on economic issues and social issues. They all listen to a lot of conservative talk radio and happily mix bible quotes and Rush Limbaugh quotes into the same sentence.
Just like testing for covid, if you never learn about something it never existed.
The outrage-machine of culture war has become so fervent that it’s the only thing they care about. I watch police bodycam videos because they’re genuinely unscripted (unlike reality tv). The frequency with which arrestees cite their poor living conditions as motivations for their actions always has me wondering how much they attribute their circumstance to oligarchs fucking us all over vs anger that’s turned outward towards groups that don’t affect them at all. Obviously, I’m projecting, but it’s something that drives my curiosity.
More education generally means richer.
Rich people generally pay for better education.
Children generally vote the same as their parents.
Richer generally means more likely to vote republican.
More education generally means richer.
Very US-centric take. College education should be part of the general public education system like it is in Europe. It should not be connected to a person’s net worth. In Europe, you go to college based on merits, not wealth.
I also think it’s a very questionable conclusion to say that the more educated people are, the more they vote Republican. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. Hence, Republicans have incentive to keep people as dumb as possible.
Very US-centric take.
The republican part, certainly
In Europe, you go to college based on merits, not wealth.
In Europe the rich also pay for additional education to maximise their offsprings merits. Maybe not to the same degree, but it is there.
I also think it’s a very questionable conclusion to say that the more educated people are, the more they vote Republican
Agreed. I specifically avoided drawing that conclusion.
Since the Heritage Foundation just overtly declared war on American democracy, complete with a thinly veiled threat of violence and bloodshed, it’s just that much more important that news like this is spread as widely as possible.
The fascists riding Trump’s coattails aren’t even hiding their intentions any more. We must not let them succeed in destroying the few remaining vestiges of American democracy, and the first step in that is keeping that loathsome lunatic Trump out of office.
Watch the major news orgs glaze past it so they can report that a geriatric man is geriatric. At this point they’re all complicit in what is about to happen in November.
Yep. Corporate news made their choice in 2016. The resulting chaos, dysfunction, and humiliation to the country did nothing to change their minds.
“Corporate” is the key word there.
Major corporations, including but by no means limited to those that have bought up all of the major news outlets, are, along with a number of destructively insane billionaires, the main financiers of this attempted fascist takeover. They’re the real driving force behind it.
They see this, and accurately, as a significant moment in human history - the point at which modern civilization might just come to broadly recognize the significant harm done by the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few and much more to the point, might take steps to prevent it. And that’s a direct threat to their entirely unearned, undeserved and grotesquely destructive privilege, and in their literally insane lust for wealth and power and the privilege they bring, they’re going to stop at nothing to prevent that.
People talk about a class war - the class war is already well under way. The oligarchs have been actively fighting it for years now. Most of the people just haven’t realized that yet.
At this point they’re all complicit in what is about to happen in November.
Truer than you might think. Here’s the FACT based analysis to back up your statement.
complete with a thinly veiled threat of violence and bloodshed
There wont be any bloodshed if we stop resisting!!!
Exactly.
Entirely on brand, it’s the classic abusive asshole position - “just do as I say - I don’t want to have to hurt you, but I will.”
This is just new evidence to support what has already been known. I would be surprised if this made the news considering it never made the news before.
Yes, Trump is a rapist and a pedophile and not just an acquaintance of Epstein.
MAGA everywhere plugging their ears and screaming “LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA” Buttery males, Hunter’s laptop, Obama’s suit, ect.
Any takers on his lawyers trying to say this was an official act? Lol
“Massage appointments” are in every conservative’s calendar.
CSA is very much bipartisan, and occurs from every demographic. It’s not helpful to victims to pretend it’s not.
Go ahead and compare the list of guilty Ds vs Rs, you will find that it is VERY far from 50/50. D’s actually kick out members that do horrible shit like this, R’s circle the wagons.
I’ll help you out, go ahead and take a look at this list: https://www.dailykos.com/history/user/CajsaLilliehook
I beg you, please, show me an equatable list for Ds. I’ll wait.
That’s not helpful to CSA victims whose abusers are D/d, but I guess since not as many are known/convicted, those victims don’t matter to some people.
Edit: because Bill Gates and Bill Clinton were never on those flights or call logs or island.
