Hey Canadians

You should search for Galen Weston Jr in the files and see if anything comes up.

Right but those thousands of Trump mentions were Epstein himself saying “why won’t Mr. Trump answer my invitations to the island?” and brainstorming with Elon Musk “how can we get Mr. Trump to come visit the island?” /s

As if any Republicans are ever going to face their crimes.

On the plus side, I no longer want to be a billionaire, so there's that.

Trump wasn't a client, was he? He was a full blown accomplice, judging by the overwhelming amount of times he's mentioned...

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago

He was a dealer that was getting high on his own supply.

Making this about race, or even age, is how you lose elections.

It's all about wealth AKA power. You don't get to be absurdly wealthy or powerful by being an empathetic person who worries about how your actions impact others. So while not all powerful people are down for an Epstein visit or a Diddy party, they're almost all down to look the other way.

Relying on elections is how you give away all of your political power to the wealthy class. Both parties represent the rich, we need to be organizing grassroots networks that can take political power, not ask for it.

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com -4 points 2 hours ago

Telling people not to vote is how you give away all of your political power to people who vote.

How's Trump in office again feeling for you after you convinced enough people to stay home?

The only guy I'm really surprised to NOT see in the files is Charlie Sheen. Apparently he is just a weirdo, not a pedo weirdo.

[–] Matombo@feddit.org 2 points 2 hours ago

maybe he is a big tits guy and so he had no interest in who trump and epstein trafficed on their island

I think there's a bunch of celebs that are in there and are lying low or just waiting for their names to appear in the news. Right now, the cameras are all on the big names.

Epstein gathered the rich and powerful, and celebs are next.

Usual suspects

Bill Gates actually isn't that rich now, because he gave very generous donations to charities. I still consider him a pretty good guy, but not as bad as Musty Musky. I don't know everything he's done, good or bad, but him not keeping his money to himself and using it to make rockets and houses on Mars makes him a better man then most of the people in the 'Files.

check out this article for more info:

Also, he supports gay marriage! He donated 500,000$ in support of gay marriage. ( n U n )

Technically, Elon Musk normalized electric cars and charger stations, in a tightly closed industry where gasoline was the only choice. Skylink also provided a lot of internet to many areas where other Internet companies refused to go or invest in.

Bill Cosby showed America that Black families weren't any different than everybody else. His contributions to the black community, and his work with youth, made a lot of black people who they are today.

Adolf Hitler united Germany after the embarrassment of WW1... I'm not going to highlight all the other shit.

Do you understand what I'm saying here?

[–] AngryPancake@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Donating to charity doesn't make a good man, in fact I think if they do it to cleanse their conscience, I think it's morally questionable.

[–] pulsey@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

they are just trying to buy letters of indulgence.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

he gave very generous donations to charities

I agree with you on that. He did give generously, and that is a good thing

I still consider him a pretty good guy

But I don't think I can agree here. I will reserve full judgement for an investigation, but between the details in the document, and the things Melinda has hinted at, it seems like he did some heinous things

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 64 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Trumps name appears in the Epstein files more then Harry Potters names appears in all 7 Harry Potter books.

The truth is Trump and Epstein did have a falling out. It wasn't because Trump disapproved of what he did. It is because he was in competition with Epstein.

Trump is a human trafficking chomo who didn't want Epstein in on his child molesting/blackmail/influence operation.

Lock him up!

[–] razzazzika@lemmy.zip 35 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Eh, actually trans people ARE mentioned but like, in a creepy ass way talking about how to DO things to them. Like. Its disturbing. No trans person is IMPLICATED in the files however.

[–] Focal@pawb.social 19 points 18 hours ago

Came here to say this exact thing. Just goes to show it's always a liiiiittle worse than you'd expect with these files

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 30 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (4 children)
  • No Harris

[–] Matombo@feddit.org 2 points 2 hours ago

also if a politican on the left is involed in shit, his voters demand an explanatiom from him and if it's not good they will drop him and demand a trial. trumpist on the other hand now despreratly try to rationalize child rape ...

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

If Bernie was implicated, I think it would break any trust I could ever have for a politician again

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 12 points 14 hours ago

When people says both sides, it is referring to both of them serve capitalistic interests over the general populace. Of course one side is much more blatant to be a fascist than the other.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

I opened car radio few days ago and fox news was arguing Biden is worse than Epstein because "He let bunch of people in and immigrants' crimes hurt the kids on a larger scale."

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 34 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

This is wrong. Epstein had an email discussing MTF porn and noting the lack of FTM porn out there and considers grooming young boys to be transition to become a new product category for him.

This is not a joke, by the way.

To be fair Epstein did talk about forcing transition on young boys and raising them as sex slaves. And he was 100% a chaser which came up many times. But trans people were never mentioned as perpetrators of abuse only as victims.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

He needed to have services for Thiel.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 27 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yup, the “democrats are forcibly transitioning your kids” conspiracy theories that conservatives parrot has 100% been coming from the fact that the billionaires wanted to do exactly that. They wanted to forcibly transition children to keep as sex slaves.

There are multiple documents in the files confirming this… They even go on to justify it by saying that they’d be doing the children a service, because it would allow them to make more money as prostitutes or porn stars after they’re too old for Epstein’s clients.

There’s a weird branch of conservatism that is really into forced feminization as a kink. That’s why trans women are vilified, but femboys are somehow okay with many conservatives. To the conservatives who are into forced feminization, the femboy is just playing into that kink, and they can tell themselves that it’s forced. They don’t see it as gay, (which would be wrong, as conservatives hate the evil gays), because it’s forcing someone to be feminine instead. But trans women take it too far for those conservatives, because it removes the “I’m forcing them to do this by being more masculine” power dynamic that they enjoy with forced feminization. With trans women, it’s very clearly something that they’re doing to themselves, not something that is being forced upon them.

But with the billionaires, that latter part isn’t a problem. They literally could force kids to be trans. So it just plays even harder into the forced feminization kink that so many conservatives have… It’s the natural end stage of the kink for them. Trans girls don’t break their illusion of power, because the power is not an illusion when you’re that rich.

That's not true. Trans people are mentioned. Not by name, but rather how to design perfect sex slaves by transitioning people.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 43 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

I fucking hate that no matter what happens, everything involving trans people somehow comes back to harm us. This is why they've been screaming "protect the children", because the only way they can visualize trans children is as sex slaves. These people do not belong in civilized society

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 13 points 20 hours ago

Enslaving people is basically normal capitalism, sex slave children is just a natural extension. And may I say it's a blessing that this platform let's me say that.
