Right? Headline should really read "Trump admits Epstein list is real, defends some of the people on it."
...also raped kids
I think the list was really the fly log, and black notebook.
Those already were published.
But FBI has 700GB of files that trump promised to make available. Now that he closed the investigation workout charging anytime (Maxwell had trial during Biden) then there shouldn't be problem to release it, shouldn't it?
He is really worried about it - for sure. The amount of cover fire insanity has increased dramatically. I just can't believe that out of all those FBI guys no one yet has leaked anything.
No, he's projecting that he shouldn't be in them but is... even though they don't exist...

Few weeks back the GOP led house oversight committee voted to subpoena the Epstein files. DNC members won the vote with GOP members who had publicly demanded the files release. The POS GOP chairman tried his slimiest to ignore the rest of the committe but was eventually brow beaten into submission -like the pathetic worm he is.
This week they received the first batch of files and are reviewing them.

They appear file-like.
It's a matter of interpretation.
I was helping at a restaurant when I asked "What does C.C. mean on this order?"
The waitress said, "Coca-Cola."
The hostess said, “Credit Card.”
The cook said, "Chocolate cake."
The bartender said, Canadian Club."
The accountant said, "Carbon Copy."
I always thought it meant cubic centimeters.
Yeah Mr. Prez... Let's prove that!
trumps-Epstein prayer:
Im not in the Epstein files.
And if I was in the Epstein files, it wasn't that bad.
And if being in the Epstein files is bad, its no big deal.
If it is a big deal that I was in the Epstein files, it's democrats fault. <--- We are here
And if it's my fault I was in the Epstein files, I didn't mean to rape children.
If i did mean to rape children, it's all of your faults.
If i did mean to rape children, it's ~~all of your faults~~ their fault for "dressing that way" or whatever
FTFY. 100% think he'll go the "asking for it" route like most rapists.
When you're rich and powerful, it's all their fault because they want you to grab them by the pussy.
"Very mature for their age"
"It's legal in some places."
"All throughout history..."
They'll lap it up, too. I've seen footage of the H man so geeked out on pervitin (legal methamphetamine in Nazi Germany) he was shaking like a leaf and chewing his mustache. While viewing one of his military parades. Fascist leaders can do no wrong. It's just interpreted as proof of his power and that he can do whatever he wants and can get away with anything.
Fortunately for the US, there is not as homogeneous of a population as in the European fascist countries of history. He is still vulnerable to being ousted until the whole project 2025 is enacted.
My man! Gif saved!
You could prove that if you'd release the files, Don...
All they did was rape children, they don’t deserve to have their reputations damaged!
Man, way to dust off that old meme. Love it.
Right? Fucking legend right here.
Epstein's Child Raping friends are GOOD PEOPLE!
-Republicans LITERALLY!
That stupid hat is like a modern Dunce Cap from a hundred years ago to let everyone know who the idiot is.
People didn't used to wear that willingly though. We've come a long way to today's self identifying idiots.
people are in Epstein files who ‘don’t deserve to be’: ‘It’s a Democratic hoax’
You don't need to be a detective to read between those lines: the Epstein files are fucking STUFFED with republicans and the type of human trash Trump associates with.
We all know the list is bipartisan, but this tell me they're worried about the ratio.
...if only we had a criminal justice system.

Telling his MAGAt morons that he's on the list and they should just get over it...
I mean haven't they decided that maybe 14 years old is ok?
No, they haven't. Until it's law they're cowards - they don't legally bind the in-group and protect them. They do legally bind the out group and don't protect them.
If they didn't think anything was wrong with it, they'd put everything in law. The fact they don't means they know they're fucked up, but we all have to live with the damage.
Funny how he wasn't saying anything about it being a Dem hoax when he was pandering for votes.
Bill Clinton was on his plane and went to the island supposedly 28 times. I don’t want to bring that up frankly,” Trump said while bringing it up.
Ok, that is just top notch comedic journalism.
Trumps in the list! This needs to be continually posted and said everywhere. Till his dying breath it needs to be told, even after this POS is gone it will be said, Trump is on the list!
alright, so it didn't exist, but now that it does you should know there are innocent people unfairly mentioned even though before i won again i said every person on the list should be exposed.
How would he know that lol
No. It is real.
If it's good for him like gaining extra seats by redistricting Texas with blatant gerrymandering, he "deserves" it. If it's bad for him like being predominantly named in a neutral investigation with his well-documented relationship with a pedophile human trafficker and patronage of his services, he doesn't "deserve" it.
Trump is a narcissist who surrounded himself with sycophants. He is so far removed from reality at this point he should be locked in a padded cell.
They say it’s number-one in history. What we’ve done, including stopping seven wars
Oh! Ooooh! I finally figured it out!
The elusive "they" he always mentions are Statler and Waldorf's ghosts from The Muppet Christmas Carol and no one else can see them.
Deserve? How does one end up on those files if one does not "deserve" it?

Does anyone on this entire planet actually, truly believe this guy isn't a pedophile that raped kids?
Like, we all know. Shut the fuck up, Trump. Even your own base knows, and some of them are mad about it (the rest are cowards, or perhaps pedophiles themselves.)
Right, that's why they never released them.
Even these morons won't buy it
Ohhh... so Putin is in the Epstein files along with Trump. That makes sense.
Nah, I don't think Putin is that stupid.
I mean I'm sure Putin is a scum bag just like the rest of them, but he's not going to fly to a Kompromat farm controlled by his nation's enemies.

LOL, a "Democratic hoax" that his dumbfuck supporters have been chattering about for years now and never seem to let up on. Maybe he should ask his own FBI how this hoax came about.
I feel like there needs to be a word for someone who tries to deflect from their obvious wrongdoings in a way that is almost identical in tone and comedic transparency to a stereotypical, cliche'd anime tsundere.
Whatever that word is, Trump is the iconic example of it.
How are we supposed to know? The DOJ gave the "files" to Congress.
What a stupid fucking hat on a rapist, pedophile, felon, fascist piece of shit.
Cult of personality brainwashing 101
Fuck you Trump!
I hope he lives long enough to feel the fallout from his name being on there
Honestly, I'll take it either way, I just want the fallout.
his cap says "trump was right about everything"
Brother you have contradicted everything that has ever come out of your mouth pussy, wdym xD
There’s audio of him years ago saying the stuff about him in the Epstein files are lies
