At least once a week in my feed get the MAGA post that says if Obama or Biden had Epstein evidence against Trump, they would have used it against him. Nonsense. Epstein used Trump to launder Russian and probably other crime money through his golf club memberships and condominiums. For Trump, a recidivist welch who could no longer go to a legitimate bank for loans, this was easy access to lots of cash, albeit very illegal. Not to worry since the FBI and CIA would have known about these transactions and likely helped facilitate them in many cases. These are the same people who encouraged Colombian cocaine kingpins to invest their profits in NASDAQ for fuck’s sake. Revealing Trump’s crimes while concealing the government’s role would have been tricky at best. Ironic that, Trump’s role as a Deep State operative not to be revealed. That left a bust for sexual predation, which Epstein well documented in images and video. But you can’t produce visual evidence of one man’s crimes within this cesspool without reasonable people asking, “Who are the others?” They didn’t want to go there so Garland, like several gutless Attorneys General before him, chose to kick the scum-covered can down the road. The US Government has provided cover for Epstein-enabled degenerates for 30-odd years, whether their name is Trump or not. But not willing to leave well enough alone, and true to his deep idiocy, a Trump campaign plank was to open the files, apparently confident he could scrub 40,000 mentions of his name before the release. He doubled down by hiring actual morons to oversee the files, based primarily on their years of screaming into podcast microphones that the files prove beyond doubt the Clintons, various Jews and rich blacks are depraved. When his chosen imbeciles looked at the actual evidence, who was involved, and what crimes beside pedophilia went on unabated long after Epstein’s laughable trafficking conviction, you may have heard them gasp. Not Bondi, she was Florida’s AG when Epstein was busted and apparently attended some of his gatherings as a young woman. If you wonder why Kash Patel always looks bug-eyed when questioned about Epstein, he is either unable to get his head around the depth of depravity the files reveal and the names involved, or is absolutely gobsmacked that he was installed to exculpate it all. Alas, I think the Epstein files will follow 9/11 and the Kennedy/King assassinations into the black hole of unproven and partially proven “conspiracy theories” (like the shit didn’t really happen). Smoking guns spoil the fun. MSM, which has always been state media and is now more consolidated than ever, will do its best to ensure that happens. It’s an international story, so maybe some enterprising journalist in Andorra or Botswana will follow the millions of unredacted threads (no damning pornographic video or pictures allowed) to form a cohesive narrative. Only to be found having committed suicide by shooting themselves in the head, twice.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

It'll always boggle my mind this dipshit ran on releasing the files he knew he would be all over them. Maga can call it 4D chess or whatever, but has to be a top 10 most dumb fuck political moves ever.
I always wonder the same thing. He was the one pushing it the most, rallying up his base. Did he think he could just sweep it under the rug? I mean he tried... In retrospective is really funny how they presented two binders as part I of the Epstein files when there's literally millions of documents.
Well at least this reveals who of his supporters is just really fucking dumb (meaning voted for him at least two times but is now ashamed) and who is so far out that they rationalize it any way or another. The latter group is just beyond salvation, no clue what to do with such people, but having them participate and decide in a society is just a disaster waiting to happen again
He’s be a corrupt criminal con man liar and imbecile his entire privileged life and he’s never had any consequences for anything so saying and doing literally anything is logical from his standpoint because nobody’s going to do anything about it
I think he's just genuinely more motivated by concerns of personal gratification and being sick in the head than political self interest. He wants people to know what he did.
The epstein ring is a global one and even if there aren’t real consequences in the US there are already consequences elsewhere which is a bit of a comfort.
Why bother with all thay? We all know, we dont know them all but out of who we do know theres enough. There should be nowhere safe in the world for all those involved. The people have power.
We all know how the story ends.
Alone in a room in a bunker, gun in hand.
Why would FBI and CIA want to launder Russian crime money?
yeah, this comes across as conspiracist - but those are the people most into the Epstein files
Why would PayPal not make all transfers instant?
