he needs a distraction from the epstein stuff, by going apeshit on zelenksy meetings.
No wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged.
BECAUSE HE SETTLED THE CIVIL SUIT, A TACIT ADMISSION THAT THEY RAPED A THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD TOGETHER.
I wish the media would just be straight with us. Obligatory "Fuck Reagan".

Let's be honest: If Epstein was still alive and in prison, he would get a pardon from Trump
And an appointment to head the children and families administration.
He’d be tasked with redeveloping Trumpland aka Gaza
Tbh Trump might have been the one who killed him. Either that or a UK Prince.
They didn't have to kill him, it doesn't have to be a conspiracy. Barr's DOJ allowed a man in a VERY high profile case that should have been on increased watch commit suicide on the eve of his bombshell testimony and going away forever. They allowed him to take his own out.
The conspiracy was the missing footage, not the method of death. It was intentionally covered up.
The situation is pretty grim in American prisons. I can absolutely believe two cameras were totally busted and one bothered to fix them
Rikers Island's Deplorable Conditions: A federal monitor's report revealed unsanitary conditions at Rikers, including showers covered in mildew, infestations of roaches and flies, and broken fire safety systems. Veronica Vela of the Legal Aid Society described the jails as "rife with abuse and violence" and emphasized that these conditions reflect a lack of prioritization for humane treatment[2]. Judge Laura Taylor Swain also criticized the worsening violence, self-harm, and deaths in custody, calling the conditions "abnormal and unacceptable"[5].
-
Deaths and Overcrowding: In 2025, Rikers recorded its first death of the year, adding to a grim tally of 34 deaths since 2021. Eighty-six percent of detainees are held pretrial, presumed innocent, yet subjected to overcrowded and dangerous conditions. Advocates have called for urgent reforms to meet the legal obligation to close Rikers by 2027[8].
-
Human Rights Crisis: Over 80% of Rikers detainees have not been convicted but endure degrading conditions. Advocates like Keli Young from VOCAL-NY demand investments in housing and alternatives to incarceration to address systemic issues[9].
-
Calls for Federal Oversight: Amid these crises, advocates argue for federal receivership to improve safety and accountability. However, city officials have resisted such oversight despite mounting evidence of systemic failures[2][5].

though no wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged.
Uhhhh...
A woman accused Donald Trump of raping her when she was 13 years old in a lawsuit filed in federal court in New York this week. The lawsuit alleges that the assaults happened at parties hosted by billionaire Jeffrey Epstein (for more on his past see our previous story).
Pretty sure being sued for raping one of Epstein's 13 year old "massage therapists" is allegeding he committed a wrongdoing or two...
Edit:
To clarify that article is almost a decade old.
I was just pointing out that there's absolutely been enough to cross the threshold of "no alleged wrongdoings"
1994, the same year he was flying with Epstein. I have no doubt the orange cancer is/was involved in child trafficking.
Same year trump was giving Bill Clinton a bunch of donations, and he then orchestrated the largest reduction of the federal workforce, pretty sure ever.
This shit ain't history, the same assholes are still shambling around doing the same shit.
They're just a lot less competent and frankly stopped caring we could see what they're doing.
The neoliberal movement was basically Randy Marsh microwaving his balls so he could get a medical marijuana prescription.
They actively encouraged a cancer because they wanted one of the side effects, but they just assumed the cancer wouldn't keep growing.

"No wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged."
FFS
I am alleging it now and have alleged it for years: Donald J Trump joined convicted pedophile and sexual abuser Jeffery Epstein in raping an underage girl.
raping an underage girl
This is libelous - how dare you imply it was only one?

Why is this a surprise? It's undisputed that trump knew Epstein and hung out with him. He even raped a girl who was also "hanging around" Epstein for lack of a better word.
For anyone paying attention, it’s no surprise. To the people who blindly follow him, though…well, they’ll probably never hear about this or just brush it off as some liberal shadow government conspiracy against him.
His supporters have no trouble making the transition from "it didn't happen" to "it wasn't a big deal".

Seven flights—Trump’s past ties to Epstein deserve deeper scrutiny.
🐱🐱🐱
For a second there I was thinking about the circumstances surrounding Ivana Trump's mysterious staircase death.
Isn’t it in a book, that trump shoved her down the stairs? Or maybe I’m confusing that with when he just beat her. IDK

Donald Trump praised the owner of a sex yacht when he delivered a speech to the Boy Scouts.
He mentioned the owner liked young girls.
You can't make this stuff up.

edit. This was not Epstien, it was another pedophile pal of Trump.

Anyone with skill to do a basic Google search can easily see he's a kiddy diddler, no surprise here.
Noooo. No no no. He was inspecting the teen beauty pageant when he walked into the dressing room full of naked minors. You don't understand. When you're famous, they let you do it!
Anyway, those trans people sure are bad, huh?
Dude's an undisguised daughter diddler, so the kiddie part goes without saying
From what I understand, it's the same information that was released last time. The people on both sides that have been meticulously keeping up with this are livid that it's literally no new information. Trump and Co even brought in influencers to hype up the release only for it to be the exact same shit that was released years ago.

Jeffrey Epstein is pretty much a mutually assured destruction for many powerful people. I don't expect this to lead anywhere really.
It'll be filed away next to the Panama papers and why JFK was killed.
Donald Trump knew about Epstein but didn't tell us; we had to find out for ourselves.
The fact that nobody is saying this and none of you have considered it until reading this comment should be very telling at how deep their power runs, and how stupid we are for going along with it.
We literally aren't allowed to have our own thoughts. We can only think and talk about what the powers that be have deemed appropriate.
I'm pretty sure we have all been saying that for years. Pretty much from the moment the Epstein shit blew up. I mean, they were best buds for over a decade.

Unless they release verifiably unredacted/unedited documents (and I'm not sure whether/if verifably unredacted/unedited documents are possible in this circumstance) I'm not going to believe they aren't holding things back out of self preservation anyhow.
The worst possible time for anything like this to be released is during the Trump admin, because now I have to apply an extra layer of skepticism.
I don't even have to go to a conservative sub to know they are or will handwave away his presence on the flight logs, and I know nothing worse is going to be released about Trump or any Trump ally, so what's even the point aside from a witch hunt for all Trump's enemies who somehow will be on the list?
To be clear, I'm sure that Democrats and a disappointingly long list of non-politicians are on that list too, and they should all see the light of day.
They are releasing it now so the base forgets about it in two to four years.

TRUMP KILLED EPSTEIN CONFIRMED!
I have subscribed to this theory since day 1. He had the most to lose, and was literally in charge of the prison indirectly. He absolutely could have made it happen, but conspiracies involving people on the right clearly don't exist.
And it happened in 2019, a time when he and his people were under a ton of pressure with the upcoming election. Such a high profile case would have been really really bad for the campaign. It's easier to deny a couple of documents than testimony from Epstein himself.
... just sayin'

So? You think this will change anything? Just add it to the pile of shit this cheddar-faced fuck has been involved with. It's not like there's a higher authority that can do anything about it. I feel like it's still not setting in for some people just where we are in this collapse. It's over, guys. There is only 1 path forward.

Donald Trump's name appears in Jeffrey Epstein's recently released flight logs seven times
Wow, committed rape at least seven times
Again, I often wonder how much of our current chaos is linked to Epstein lol.
Epstein didn't create the demand for sex trafficking and grooming minors. he "just" exploited it.
Is he a monster? absolutely.
But he didn't create the demand, and the people creating this chaos? they're his clients. After Epstein got caught.... somebody else became the one to provide the service. because there's plenty of monsters wanting to fill that role.

It's a brag, he liked the guy.
It's one thing for it to be assumed knowledge. But having proof is... Gross.
