    They will accelerate the push to war with Iran, Russia, and China in order to distract from this.

    I would give my OWN DAUGHTER to American Hero Jeffrey Epstein if Trump asked me to!

    It wasn’t “Epstein’s trafficking ring.” 4700 money transfers tells me he was the money handler, transporter, and customer…

    Maxwell had to be the slaver or headhunter/groomer/kidnapper whatever you want to. She got off to something more than just the cash too.

    Trump, guessing by his panic, was a host, networker, and customer.

    I’m guessing there were other connected as well, and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if those documents tell exactly who.

    What was it, 2015? When did we first read this whole story, pretty much in its entirety, already? Was it ten fucking years ago? I told my Trump family about this and they ignored it. Now it animates their being. What gives? Why now? Are they that slow that it’s literally a whole decade? I’m tired of these morons

      Presumably, his supporters are trying to find a way out without having to admit to themselves that they have supported an unscrupulous monster. That is probably why they are now pretending that they did not know what has actually been known since the 1990s.

      This allows people to maintain their identity and not have to worry that their worldview is fundamentally wrong. They can then move straight on to the next cult leader that preaches pretty much the same hateful ideology.

        Hopped on r/conservative recently. They’re exhausted or fucking pissed that they got duped. People saying “Harris would have been worse” or whatever mental gymnastics they get fed are doing so meekly. Many are just checking out. The channels we most use to communicate are stages for psychological warfare where people don’t know which way is up, and it’s an exhausting battle. We’re stuck between trying (and succeeding in many areas) to improve our institutions and having no faith in any of them, while these fuckers spit in our face and act like we’re fucking stupid. We’re all in this together, and I think it’s a great time to connect with our Republican brethren. Say we didn’t want Harris, either. We agree on most things. We keep getting kneecapped, but anywhere you look, you can find people fighting the good fight. For the leftists like myself, please consider this: we have common enemies, and they B benefit greatly from making you assume you know your neighbor. Red hat? Wants to exterminate you. Racist. Ignorant. You should really just ask them, rather than assuming you know. Please tell me if this is word salad. I’m bipolar and have been experiencing psychotic symptoms. Love you guys.

    Obviously it’s been bigger than we knew…

    Because regardless of if Republicans or Neoliberals have control of our government, no one wants to fucking release it.

    In particular, filings by four big banks flagged more than $1.5 billion in transactions—including thousands of wire transfers for the purchase and sale of artwork for rich friends, fees paid to Mr. Epstein by wealthy individuals, and payments to numerous women, the senator’s office found. The filings came after Mr. Epstein was arrested in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges.

    Large money transfers to individuals, foreign countries, or obscure companies are the kind of things banks are supposed to be examining as potentially suspicious. Some of the Epstein money transfers disclosed in a report from JP Morgan Chase involved accounts at two Russian banks before those institutions were subject to U.S. sanctions. A few transactions red-flagged were for as much as $100 million.

    The only chance we have at actually knowing what’s in those files, is if we elect a progressive president and get rid of a bunch of geriatric assholes from both parties so they can’t keep protecting child traffickers.

        it

        There is no “it”.

        Like, just the money side is over a billion dollars of transfers. That alone is more than an “it” but it’s still just a slice of a very large pie.

        There isn’t a single person alive who has access to everything.

        If anything leaks, it’s going to be a bite off a slice.

        That’s pretty much the entire point of this article

        This was a massive coordinated effort spanning decades, and honestly possibly generations if you start looking into Robert Maxwell.

    I’m beginning to think the theatrics of Squid Game aren’t all that theatrical. I wouldn’t find it at all surprising of there’s some secret facility outside the island where even more fucked up shit we haven’t found has happened or is happening still.

    One thing that gets me about all of this: Do we really think everyone stopped doing all their horrible acts when Epstein died? Someone else likely took on the role right after and is now just taking in a whole new profit line for all these oligarchs. They’re sexually depraved fucks. They aren’t going to suddenly stop because their favorite chain restaurant is closing its doors.

    It’s interesting how these things keep coming out nearly every day, and sometimes multiple things a day.

    It’s kind of funny that the pedocons closed up shop and fled for the summer in the hopes of burying this story. It’d be hilarious if this keeps happening nearly every day until September.

    It’s most definitely a real LOL that they got that vote at the last minute last week, though. :)
