Maybe the real reason Trump doesn't want these files released? He was sucking off some guy named Bubba?

Now Mark Epstein says Bubba is someone powerful but not a public figure.

But to a bottom like Trump, a cock is a cock and he always knows the right thing to do with a cock, man or animal.

LOLOL. Holy shit. He probably walked away with all the classified docs from scraping every server those fucking morons gave him access to.

[–] IronpigsWizard@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I never actually thought of that and yes he probably did.

Yknow, it wouldn't surprise me if Trump was more worried about being viewed as gay than he was worried about being seen as a rapist pedophile

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Not just gay; it's the power hierarchy that's the real problem for conservatives here. It would be much less of an issue for Trump if the story was about Bill Clinton blowing him

I can’t improve with a comment

[–] IronpigsWizard@lemmy.world 53 points 2 days ago (2 children)

We live in a reality where Bill Clinton holding a press conference for denying sexual relations with Donald Trump is plausible now.

It's really sad that the maga base would be more upset at cheeto blowing a grown man, than fucking children

Roman attitudes towards sex were based on power and control. It wasn't seen as a connection between two individuals, that was secondary. It was informally allowed for a high ranking official to have sex with individuals below them in status including other men and adolescents without harm to one's reputation.

Having sex with a man of higher status was seen as emasculating and worthy of ridicule. Essentially it was seen as taking on the role of the woman in a relationship and women were very much subservient to men in this society.

Christianity has had a cultural impact on some of these views but there are definitely times when it seems like modern Western cultural attitudes (especially amongst regressives) have not progressed very far beyond that old conceptualization of sexual relationships.

Tl;dr: Having a sexual encounter with a man of higher status is feminizing which is more damning than crimes against humanity to the backwards minded.

That’s conservative values for you. Churches have excused pedophilia and abuse since the beginning of time. They’re also homophobic but only to the bottoms. So their actions are in line with their belief system. It’s extra funny that Trump is a bottom.

No, you're misremembering -- that wasn't him disrespecting women, that was him disrespecting disabled people

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 108 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Although it obviously a joke, in the spirit of all the fucking hellscape Republicans have put us through, and the fact that they've literally killed the power of truth, I'm going to go ahead and roll with this.

He definitely, positively, eagerly sucked Bill Clinton's dick. No shadow of a doubt. The evidence is right there. And even if it's not, he did it anyways.

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 59 points 2 days ago

I'm not convinced it is obviously a joke. It would explain a LOT.

[–] ryper@lemmy.ca 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Trump sucked Clinton's dick as sure as JD Vance fucked a couch.

It doesn't obviously look like a joke. I searched and found the email in the database myself. It's there.

So, we know why he wanted it called the, "Big Beautiful Bill" now...

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 80 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

Wait wait wait wait... It's real?

I thought it was just an edited email to make it look like it was Trump and Clinton. Why would Trump want more investigation into Clinton?

Actually nevermind, after rereading it I'm almost certain it's a joke since they're referencing Putin having the "dirt" on him. That's gotta be a joke.

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 84 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's real, many people are saying it

The idea that Bubba is Bill Clinton is the part I have a hard time believing. And I think it might be a joke. But I also think it's possible that Trump performed oral on someone or something named Bubba.

I've never heard that nickname for Bill Clinton before. Maybe I live under a rock or maybe it's a private nickname that could be corroborated elsewhere in the Epstein files, but idk he's never looked like a "Bubba" to me.

More critically, I have a hard time believing the 2016 election cycle plays out the way it did if this were the case.

But I do think it's clear there's SOMETHING that Trump doesn't want the public to know about. And I don't think he or his base care about him being with 16 year old girls. Or even his daughter. What could it be that Trump would be scared of his base knowing about?

So I think Bubba could be another dude. Or perhaps a gigantic novelty dildo. Or maybe even an animal.

Edit: For everyone getting caught up in the nickname, Mark Epstein has said that it wasn't Bill Clinton. Plus, even if you don't believe him it still doesn't make sense that it's Bill with how 2016 played out.

It might not be. I could see Putin telling trump to do it or a pee tape video or maybe a child rape video was going to be released. I could see trump complying under those circumstances.

And to think, all this time my conspiracy theory was that Trump and Clinton were involved in an affair, I was right, but I pegged the wrong Clinton!

I think you mean he pegged the wrong Clinton.

"sex act"...

It said trump sucked Bubba's dick

Which even if it wasn't Bill Clinton, that's worse than raping kids to his base.

If Trump goes to prison, the only "Big Beautiful Bill" he'll be remembered for is his cellmate.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

Those who show conservatism on the outside are often the worst. Pedophile priests, closet homos who play homophobes in public, fundamentalist evangelical mothers who see that their teenage daughters get an abortion to avoid scandal.

Donald Trump being a pedophile is probably beyond doubt by now. Him trying men for a change is not really surprising.
