Been waiting ten years for these chucklefucks to face the consequences of their backing Trump's blatant fascism. Hasn't happened yet. I'll believe it when I see it.

That fuckin' Epstein ruined "Welcome Back Kotter" for me.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't get it, how so?

(Thanks for putting the theme song in my head, what a lovely song and what a good show).

Best I can guess? Jeffrey Epstein was once a young, under-qualified, math teacher in New York?

Good, I need my own list now. For reasons not involving persecution of these individuals.

Pedophiles are probably rampant among the rich and powerful. At that level where all your needs are provided for you either become wise or you become depraved. It's basically life 101. The richer you are the worst your chances are of turning out to be a decent human being.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago

Credit goes to Alzward

It's more like the more decent a human being you are, the less your chances of becoming rich are. The exception is if you inherit wealth, but then you're likely to have been raised by rich assholes.

Considering how many average people are also child molesters, I'm not convinced there's a correlation.

They know that Trump will be ruined if the files are released.

[–] neuromorph@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I doubt rhwy care about Trump. Just their donors that are on the list.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

that is what they are protecting, megadonors probably harlan crow, thiel, murdochs, rockafellers, any of the donors you can think of that donated to the gop(sacklers, and disney too),,,,etc. thiel allegedly has his own island of fuck boys, and last year one of his boytoy was Defenestrated mysteriously(from "depression").

and we know hollywod execs are full on perverts, and some of them got ousted.

Trump could rape and eat a baby in front of them and his supporters would still love him.
