“I think that these people — and I don’t know, for whatever reason, there could be reasons — but I don’t think they’re telling us the truth about Epstein,” podcaster Brandon Tatum told the assembled crowd at the Tampa Convention Center.
The reason is that the Glorious Leader is a pedophile and well know serial sexual harasser and rapist and releasing the Epstein files would conform what everyone other than the MAGAzi fascist bootlickers already know.
Department of Justice release the Epstein Surveillance video:
https://www.justice.gov/video-files/video2.mp4
August 9, 2019 released in July 2025, the Federal Bureau of Prisons release an 11 hour surveillance video of Jeffrey Epstein's upper atrium corridor, except it contains this sudden cut and minute removed from it.
The one minute cut is here:
The footage has been transformed on the X axis and scaled about 3.5% on X axis so, again, there's no way to check frame by frame for repeat use frames. The timestamp at the beginning is 7:40:00pm and the last timestamp is 6:40:00am, but the video is 10:52:23 in length, meaning there's almost 7.5 minutes missing, not just this one minute, which is seen in the cut. The initial report tells us that Jeffrey Epstein (Jewish) was allowed to make an unscheduled, unrecorded phone call (unmonitored). Using a non inmate telephone system line to a local 646 area code, at 6:58pm, contrary to BOP policy but with the permission of a Unit Manager, which lasted until 7:19pm then Epstein was taken back to his cell, without a cellmate.
Jeffrey Epstein (Jewish)
Why does this matter?
Because they’re signaling to their base that it’s cool to hate Jews.
is that the call that he said was to his mom who incidentally had passed away like a decade earlier
99% of them are sooner to literally get on their knees and offer their mouth than ever speak against him.
Trump supporters are what they are. They have no spine. They are cowards that fear everything but the things they understand and think they control. They are the dirt of the earth, meant to be tread on, elevated only by the worms that crawl from it and tell them fanciful stories of their pretensive grandeur.
Better to be dead with your dignity than alive and in support of this man. The people shall take turns defecating on his grave when he's gone... All of us, and all of those who call themselves his loyal followers.
There are none truly loyal to men such as this.
Bullshit... this is all just distraction...
Everything's a distraction from everything else.
This exactly. Just because this is meant to distract from some other fresh hell, does not mean that this is something to be ignored.
It's part of their strategy. Firehose of bullshit.
Is pissing off his base a lot. I’ll take it.
Trump is now claiming that Biden and Obama created the Epstein files. The only reason for him to do this is that the files aren't damaging to Democrats and confirm that Trump is a serial pedophile rapist.
Shocking allegations about the guy that used to creep around in the Miss Teen USA changing room!
What’s going to happen when maga finds out that everything they were groomed to believe in is all about the very people they listened to, trusted in and destroyed for? I hope they redirect their anger to start pushing democrats to start doing their job and starts pushing out those who are not for the people. Hope this starts a productive team up of the people vs the corrupt, rich and powerful.
Why is it Americans never hold the GOP to account? Why is it when the GOP does something bad, you have to somehow work it around so it's somehow the Democrats fault? Why do you wonder why it's difficult to keep the GOP from getting power and doing horrible shit when everyone in the US blames everything on the Democrats even when they aren't in power?
I'm Canadian and I wouldn't blame the opposition party for something the governing party is doing. It's a strange part of American culture to blame a Democrats for everything and it doesn't make any sense. And it doesn't happen the other way, I don't recall people ever blaming the Republicans when the Democrats do something they don't like.
It's a weird thing about American culture and it's resulted in the party that gets blamed for everything having no power to stop the party that never gets blamed for anything. But y'all continue blaming them for being in this situation.
This is nothing. The MAGAites will rally around whatever Trump says and he as already told them to move on.
well about time he got a taste of his own medicine.
Doubt
This is just copium.
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink.
