Harvey Weinstein? That's inconceivable!

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago

I’m more surprised that it took this long for him to come up (at least this is the first time I’ve seen him mentioned in conjunction with the Epstein files)

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 52 points 3 days ago

Man now I'm going to have to take down my Weinstein flag and bumper stickers, and throw away my shirts and stop going to rallies year round

George Carlin: "It's a big club and you ain't in it.

Me in 2026: "thank goodness I'm not in it."

Jay-Z the guy who started chasing after Beyoncé when she was 16 years old and officially dating her at 19 when he was 30?

Well at least R-Kelly, P.Diddy, and Drake aren’t in the files! I’d be devastated if something bad came to light about them.

Ohhhh boy your going to want to sit down for this one

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 45 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Pusha T? That's the only surprising one IMO.

[–] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 18 points 3 days ago

Same, I’m truly caught off guard on that

Must be why we got a new Clipse album

Bread and circus smh

You're telling me that some disgusting rich men were found to be in association with other disgusting rich men? I'm shocked.

If you havin’ file problems, I feel bad for you, son / I got an “in the file” problem and Epstein it’s from

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 days ago

Of all the things you could rhyme with "file", given the context, I applaud your choice of "in the".

[–] hector@lemmy.today 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Jay Z eh? I never listened to much of his music in the short time I was into rap. But I do have a mix with him on it. He partied with them? This administration just released the goods on the supporters of their opposition, and or people that didn't pay them off not to I presume.

[–] Cherry@piefed.social 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They threw a few bones to distract the dogs. That was to be expected.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 3 days ago

Indeed, this was guaranteed.

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 5 points 3 days ago

It had more to do with his ownership of a major record label, than him being a rapper, I'd assume.

[–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago

Nobody is trying to screw these fools.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I bet the billionaires not mentioned in the Epstein files feel very unimportant and ask themselves "am I worth anything?"

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Not these Epstein things!

[–] sable@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 3 days ago

So be it, so be it

[–] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Whats the point of the FBI 'tracking' all these people if they were never going to DO anything???

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 3 days ago

50 cent and Eminem have been telling us about the Carters for a long time.
