Now imagine that Joe Biden's name appeared instead, and imagine that Epstein had died in Federal lock up during his term. Fox would be on this for weeks.

Imagine how long Fox would be on this sworn testimony from a woman who worked for Epstein for 7 years confirming under penalty of perjury that she witnessed Convicted Sex Offender Trump raping a 13 year old girl in Epstein's NY apartment.

Fox would be on this for ~~weeks~~ever.
They still make Clinton/Lewinsky jokes on Fox News.
The other day I was at the gym, and because of all the new pwople getting in shape for the month, I had to use one walker that was in front of a tv with faux news. It was quite funny that they were saying a lot of clinton and other people, but not about the agent orange. Not even once his name was mentioned
I think they'd completely lose their shit if it was Obama or Hillary. They recently got the morons on the Biden hate wagon but the racism, sexism that's been fomenting on those two has been crazy.

Epstein likes to tell people that he’s a loner, a man who’s never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic. And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
But I thought he didn’t like the guy?! How will I square this information?!
"I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. I had a falling-out a long time ago, I'd say maybe 15 years," Trump told reporters in the White House in 2019 soon after Epstein was taken into custody in New York. "I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you."
Trump supporters are incapable of critical thinking.

Trump's scandalous speech to the Boy Scouts.

First comment was from 2002, second alleges something happened in 2004.
a man who’s never touched alcohol or drugs
somehow this makes it more fucked up. like having this pristine attribute and clear headedness and still doing all the incredible evil and harm. mark of a true psychopath. you could maybe maybe make sense of it a tiny bit if it was like 'oh he did lots of meth and cooked his brain' but NO this fucking sicko was stone cold sober throughout all that shit. unreal.
I wonder if his assistant was sober knowing what she was helping to do by round them up for this monster?
There was a Ghislaine Maxwell documentary where they interview the managers of the island house who are either in complete denial and/or being paid for their silence (sorry for the poor source but it's late and I can't find another with a clip, and it is otherwise just a summary of the interview). People like her and Epstein know to surround themselves with people who are easy to manipulate, so at least some staff didn't need alcohol..
fucking bullshit. My bff is a roadie and he told me the Trump roadshow runs on blow.

He’s literally a demented rapist who smells like shit and can not stop lying.
I’m pretty sure we’re done “discussing” trump.
If this weren't a fucking banana republic he'd have swung two years ago. We're irreversibly fucked and it took a orange con-man to finally prove it.
You're gonna see a $250,000,000 judgement against him in 8 days. The various other trials will pop off between February and May, though one may have been stretched out to August.
The punishment system moves glacially slow at these levels, especially when dealing with someone that absolutely has the means to tie shit up in appeals, if he's given any opportunity to do so.

We already saw the flight logs. Some of us looked up the airport codes and saw who flew where. This is not news.
Indeed. I skimmed the article. It is a summary of information that's been out there for ages. Nothing new.
I bet there are peepee tapes.
No, I don't think there are pee tapes. All sorts of other tapes, but no pee tapes. And the folks who own the other tapes are spreading the rumor about the pee tapes on purpose, just to tweak him.
i am absolutely OK with Epstein's buddy list being withheld until Summer or Fall but certainly it should be public on Oct. 1st, once November's ballots are printed.
Why are you okay with child rapists not being in prison ASAP?
Kind of interesting how if Trumpers say 'drain the swamp' people roll their eyes and call them crazy. If you see trumps name in the swamp then ofcourse he is there because he is a blood thirsty psychopath who rapes children for sport.
My buddy is a right wing dude that's big on the Epstein didn't kill himself conspiracy. I told him that I agree, he probably got jobbed because he had dirt the man who was president at the time. No, clearly it was the Clinton's. Fucking OK guy.
When Bernie Sanders said that Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump was the "most corrupt president in history" he wasn't lying. I have never known Bernie to lie about anything.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The names of about 200 people linked to Epstein, who took his own life in a New York jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial for child sex charges, could be revealed this week after U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled that they should no longer be redacted as part of a settled civil lawsuit between Ghislaine Maxwell, who was found guilty in December 2021 of helping Epstein abuse and traffic underage girls, and accuser Virginia Giuffre.
There is no evidence that Trump visited Epstein's notorious Little St. James island, where the late financier is alleged to have trafficked and sexually abused young women and girls.
Giuffre said Maxwell then recruited her to give Epstein massages, and she was also forced to have sex with his friends in locations such as Little St. James and New York.
In a statement released in 2019, which was reiterated to Newsweek, a Clinton spokesperson said he had "not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade" and "knows nothing about the terrible crimes."
Trump allegedly banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago resort after he showed interest in the teenage daughter of a club member in the early 2000s.
I had a falling-out a long time ago, I'd say maybe 15 years," Trump told reporters in the White House in 2019 soon after Epstein was taken into custody in New York.
The original article contains 699 words, the summary contains 227 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Trump allegedly banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago resort after he showed interest in the teenage daughter of a club member in the early 2000s.
That's rich coming from Mr walks into the dressing room during miss teen USA pagents.
Also Mr “my favourite thing about my daughter is her breasts”.
Also Mr "what my daughter and I have in common is sex"
Also Mr
I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12, her parents are friends of mine, and, you know, the first time I saw her she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?'
Probably only happened because she rejected Trump.
There is speculation that former President Donald Trump could be among the high-profile names included in the unsealed court documents
Look, we all assume Trump likes to grab the pussies of children… but these “speculation” articles need to stop. Just wait a few days until it comes out ffs. This kind of stuff just fuels the right-wing.
Edit: yup, Wednesday and nothing happened.
The article has no new info. Seems like just trying to milk clicks out of the situation.
We already know Trump has flown on Epstein's plane and was buddy buddy with him, but supposedly never visited Epstein's infamous island (but I wouldn't be surprised if he participated in trafficking and sexual abuse of minors). As the article says, being on the flight list doesn't imply innocence or guilt. And since the judge has given those on the list an opportunity to request they be redacted I'm not sure if we learn much from it.
