Steve Bannon’s whole pitch is that he’s leading a movement against a decadent, borderless elite. Except according to newly released messages and emails, that movement has been heavily reliant on the most decadent, borderless elite of all: Jeffrey Epstein.

I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!

Bannon is the type of guy you'd never want to enter his house because it smells so bad. I'm not at all surprised he's a diddler too.

You don’t like eau de Cigar and farts?

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And lots of stale alcohol. Definitely b.o. too

[–] SGGeorwell@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

It’s cigars, and meth, and chipotle farts specifically.

[–] sepi@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

Probably more like cadaverine and putrescine.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

You can just smell so many pictures of him.

Earlier today I learned he owned a WoW gold farm, and was paying people $4 a day for 80 hour work weeks. Sound like a great guy

I'm pretty sure most offensively rich people in this country, and possibly other countries, were much closer to Epstein than we initially realized at this point.

I mean there is a reason why all the tech giants are licking Trump's asshole so eagerly. Among other reasons such as being able to run rampant with no consequences, some of their founders or shareholders are almost surely in the files. So Trump is using both carrot and stick against them and it seems to work well.

It’s seems like EVERYONE was a lot closer to Epstein than we all thought…

Still waiting for the expose on omnomnomsky revealing he was really close to Epstein and was a kiddie diddler too. I'm really trying not to be so cynical these days but all these Epstein revelations are not helping.

So was Clinton, so was bill gates, so was Noam fucking Chomsky!

TrueAnon was going through their messages. They were positively boyz.

A group of powerful sexual abusers and pedophiles are at imminent threat of being caught and they're all scrambling to seize power before it can be used to bring them to account. The entire group of current American Republican leadership and strategists are likely all implicated.
