The Trump-Epstein Files™
We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

David Gelernter
Name and shame
Lmao, shady behaviour aside, is there a more perfect name for a professor? It's German and could translate to something like "the learner" (from "lernen" - "to learn").
Edit: actually more old-fashioned German would be in the direction of "the educated" as in an educated person.
including a recommendation for a student he described as a “completely connected, v small goodlooking blonde,” saying that he was only trying to “keep the potential boss's habits in mind.”
"I wanted to be hired by a pedophile, so I was only pretending to also be a pedophile because I knew he was a pedophile"
No, it's worse than that, I think.
He wanted the student to be hired by a convicted sex trafficker. He says he knew Epstein would want to know more about her physical traits, so he preemptively proffered the info to "the boss". He's saying that as his defense. He seriously doesn't even get how disgusting that sounds.
Gelernter, a 70-year-old computer science professor, has taught at Yale since the early 1980s and is known for his work in parallel computation as well as surviving a mail bomb attack by the Unabomber in 1993. Newly released files reveal a long-standing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, including scheduled visits, dinners and at one point inviting Epstein to New Haven, Connecticut, to see “paintings, the turkeys, the campus.”
How ironic that he survives the unabomber but is going to get taken out by Epstein.
Literally every day Uncle Ted gets proven right
"Uncle Ted" was a hateful, reactionary tool who tried to kill indiscriminately because he didn't actually have any ideas about how to make the world a better place.
I implore you to go beyond the state-sponsored Wikipedia article and read the unedited manifesto
Saying "give up all technology now that it has been introduced" and "it is impossible to enhance the good aspects of technology while eliminating the bad" are both misguided ideas and amount to offering no ideas for improving the world. (quotes paraphrased)
Edit: I forgot to add that, in his manifesto, he literally wrote that killing people who have certain diseases is more efficient than curing those diseases because "People with a genetic tendency to [diseases] will then be able to survive and reproduce as well as anyone else. Natural selection against genes for [diseases] will cease and such genes will spread throughout the population."
