"young, nubile, girls" jfc throw these creeps in a volcano
Best we can do is keep making them President.
Like I said yesterday: "once it's on the internet, it's there forever"
It's remarkable how quickly the pages that publish things like this or the 60 Minutes CECOT segment disappear. Putting it on the fediverse will hopefully protect it from being suppressed. Torrents are important too.
It's all over the place, now. My lemmy feed is full of news stories about it.
Most of my coworkers have not even heard about it. Even less looked for it. It may be everywhere on lemmy but lemmy is very little known in the real world.
It's on Reddit and other places too. Your coworkers haven't heard of it yet because it dropped in the middle of the night. Stop expecting everyone else to be as terminally online as yourself.

This letter came to light in 2023. They've managed to keep it quiet for 2 years.
Now it's time to blow this up. This should be the first story on every evening newscast to tonight.
But it won't be, especially CBS. I'd be surprised if it even gets mentioned anywhere on TV.
Cecot torrent is seeded and I have it on soulseek.
TIL that SoulSeek still exists.
Hell yeah it does
My guess is a 'turncoat' in the DoJ 'accidentally' let this one, and other similar ones, slip through. Or they're all just fucking incompetent. Take your pick.

So the same 'grab them by the pussy' that Trump was caught on tape bragging about, but more clear who is was talking about.

Does "short route" home here mean suicide or blackmail? God this shit never clarifies anything but it definitely incriminates Trump.

"As you know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home. Good luck! We shared one thing… our love & caring for young ladies at the hope they'd reach their full potential
Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system. Life is unfair. Yours, J. Epstein"
I will never understand how people could be this rich and do stupid shit like this.
With all that money, you could go find the love of your life, travel the world with them, pay for all the mental and healthcare you need, be fit and live the rest of your life happily with your soulmate AND still even have the capacity to help others if you so desire.
But instead they do this shit. I hate reality.
We live in a system where, to become that rich, you must be evil.
That's all.
Exactly. This life rewards evil tremendously... I'm so sick of it

Money is just an enabler. They're already abusers, the money just helps them do it with planes and islands instead of trucks and sketchy motels.
You can become a multi-millionaire through honest hard work and responsibility. There are plenty of multi-millionaires who live the lifestyle you describe.
You can't really become a billionaire that way. You become a billionaire by being a greedy, manipulative narcissist, obsessed with wealth and power. That's who you see doing this shit.
The people with all that money are the people so narrowly obsessed with money and/or the power money brings that they have dedicated their whole lives to taking it from others. Effectively that means only sociopaths who enjoy abusing others become that wealthy. People with more meaningful purpose in their lives, or who genuinely care for others, don't become billionaires.
They have OCD, which manifests itself as financial hoarding. If they were hoarding rusty cars on their property, or hundreds of cars, the authorities would step in, and end it.
But if it's money, then they are loaded as successful businesspeople, and strongly encouraged to expand their hoarding behavior.
Confiscate their stolen hoard, and get them help for their mental illnesses.
They didn't get rich by being good people.
It's another reason why we should always criticize people for how they obtained their wealth. Most of them did it by nefarious means.
Pretty sure you described Tom form Myspace, dude got his money and GTFOd.

This article implies he was writing incriminating letters from jail, prior to choosing to kill himself. And there's never a hint of self-awareness at the atrocious pain and harm he caused, just a constant entitlement to all women.
Assuming it's genuine, it also shows he considered himself a victim of unfair treatment right to the end. Unless it's also a hint that the suicide was not of his own choosing, but that's getting pretty speculative.
It definitely reads like "we did the same things, but I'm here in prison and that guy is president. Boo hoo pity me."
Yeah theres already a lot of speculation and assumptions; I really don't want to add to the scuttlebutt, but those were my first thoughts on reading the letter and figuring out when it was sent and where from. Let's not mimic the QAnon approach though.

So far while poking around in certain places just to see what other reactions are floating around out there are, I've seen:
"Who created this AI slop?"
"Written by someone from MSM for clicks."
"Why didn't Biden release this, clearly fake."
"This is worse than the fake birthday card."
"Clearly not related to Trump, but instead Clinton."
Intense cope is how I see it. Could it be fake? Maybe. I try to draw upon the things that have been said in the past, actions clearly on record/tape, literal confessions that are public from years ago, real-time goal post moving, and delection attempts.
Innocent people don't usually jump through so many hoops.
"Why didn't Biden release this, clearly fake."
Apparently, this was first released in 2023, during the Biden administration, and just sat there. Perhaps the media deserves some blame for not doing their jobs, as usual.
“Who created this AI slop?”
Ah, yes, clearly AI handwriting
They constantly repeat shit without really understanding it, a lot like parrots. They obviously don't know how to actually identify AI slop.

It's been put back on doj.gov

Trump, Epstein, and Nasser, the Three Pedo Amigos.
Makes sense. People copied it and noticed. They have to put it back or else risk further scandle.
I bet Trump is going to be pretty mad and extra demented this xmas.

The article is overstating the importance. By now everyone knows Trump is a pedo and loves SA. Or if they don't, they never will.
FFS the victims have been around for twenty years, and we already have clear physical evidence. One more piece of paper might help with a conviction (good luck getting that after he's out of the White House before he dies), but it's not like the truth is even slightly hidden.
And he admitted to so much bad stuff already, on camera, on TV, in writing, too. Forget the victims if you want (which you shouldn't, but whatever), just take the man at his word and it's all there.

This letter was written immediately before his suicide, and acknowledges his plan to do it. That makes this a deathbed confession, and they should hang Trump with it.
“It might be the beginning of the end for the big man honestly,”
I'd rather skip to the end of him personally. I can't wait to say "remember when Trump was alive?".
Where's the story? All I see is a comment section?
Yeah the page seems to be coming and going. I went to archive it and got warnings that my connections to the archive sites weren't secure. It's enough to make a person paranoid.
Right, I tried again now and it showed up correctly.
