The truth is Trump and Epstein did have a falling out. It wasn't because Trump disapproved of what he did. It is because he was in competition with Epstein.

Trump is a human trafficking chomo who didn't want Epstein in on his child molesting/blackmail/influence operation.

Lock him up!

Eh, actually trans people ARE mentioned but like, in a creepy ass way talking about how to DO things to them. Like. Its disturbing. No trans person is IMPLICATED in the files however.

[–] Focal@pawb.social 11 points 9 hours ago

Came here to say this exact thing. Just goes to show it's always a liiiiittle worse than you'd expect with these files

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 51 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Trumps name appears in the Epstein files more then Harry Potters names appears in all 7 Harry Potter books.

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 hours ago

When people says both sides, it is referring to both of them serve capitalistic interests over the general populace. Of course one side is much more blatant to be a fascist than the other.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I opened car radio few days ago and fox news was arguing Biden is worse than Epstein because "He let bunch of people in and immigrants' crimes hurt the kids on a larger scale."

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 34 points 12 hours ago (5 children)

This is wrong. Epstein had an email discussing MTF porn and noting the lack of FTM porn out there and considers grooming young boys to be transition to become a new product category for him.

This is not a joke, by the way.

i’m sick of this. you know what? nothing is going to happen. wanna know why? remember panama papers? thank you for coming to my ted talk

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 4 points 8 hours ago

Bad example. Look into the consequences of the Panama Papers. Not enough? Sure. But not nothing. And don't do something silly like switching example to hair spray gel usage to protect ozone layer as well.

[–] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

So there was that post going around summarizing what someone saw while working on Epstein Island. Part of the post cites walking in on someone wearing a bull mask raping one of their "co-workers". This person had a tattoo of Nixon.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

that coulda been any roger stone

[–] alfonsothemonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Trump's name appears more times in these files than Jesus's in the Bible

[–] Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 46 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

To be fair Epstein did talk about forcing transition on young boys and raising them as sex slaves. And he was 100% a chaser which came up many times. But trans people were never mentioned as perpetrators of abuse only as victims.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 22 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

just like trans people been saying for decades

Yes, we have.

[–] Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 13 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yup, the “democrats are forcibly transitioning your kids” conspiracy theories that conservatives parrot has 100% been coming from the fact that the billionaires wanted to do exactly that. They wanted to forcibly transition children to keep as sex slaves.

There are multiple documents in the files confirming this… They even go on to justify it by saying that they’d be doing the children a service, because it would allow them to make more money as prostitutes or porn stars after they’re too old for Epstein’s clients.

There’s a weird branch of conservatism that is really into forced feminization as a kink. That’s why trans women are vilified, but femboys are somehow okay with many conservatives. To the conservatives who are into forced feminization, the femboy is just playing into that kink, and they can tell themselves that it’s forced. They don’t see it as gay, (which would be wrong, as conservatives hate the evil gays), because it’s forcing someone to be feminine instead. But trans women take it too far for those conservatives, because it removes the “I’m forcing them to do this by being more masculine” power dynamic that they enjoy with forced feminization. With trans women, it’s very clearly something that they’re doing to themselves, not something that is being forced upon them.

But with the billionaires, that latter part isn’t a problem. They literally could force kids to be trans. So it just plays even harder into the forced feminization kink that so many conservatives have… It’s the natural end stage of the kink for them. Trans girls don’t break their illusion of power, because the power is not an illusion when you’re that rich.

Holy shit, you put into words what I've been feeling but haven't quite been able to put my finger on, like something hiding in the periphery even if you try to look at it.

I'm simultaneously relieved to finally have it out in the open, and disgusted to see it written so plainly. All these people should go Mario Kart with Luigi.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 11 hours ago

Trans people are mentioned in the emails, but it's mostly disgusting chaser shit

[–] you_are_dust@lemmy.world 83 points 16 hours ago (15 children)

That's not true. Trans people are mentioned. Not by name, but rather how to design perfect sex slaves by transitioning people.

[–] OddMinus1@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

A Norwegian trans male->female was mentioned by name. Not that she was involved with anything, but Epstein had mentioned her name in some communication. It made a small news notice in the Norwegian news outlets.

I fucking hate that no matter what happens, everything involving trans people somehow comes back to harm us. This is why they've been screaming "protect the children", because the only way they can visualize trans children is as sex slaves. These people do not belong in civilized society

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 16 points 11 hours ago

Enslaving people is basically normal capitalism, sex slave children is just a natural extension. And may I say it's a blessing that this platform let's me say that.

So the Italian film, "Saló or the 120 Days of Sodom", turns out to be correct about the fascists, even if the director, Pier Paolo Pasolini, said it was a metaphor. He was believed to have been killed by fascists because of the director's anti-fascism.

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I wish I could upvote this a hundred times. Saló is a genuinely horrific movie, but what Pasolini intended to do with it and why is beyond reproach. I too believe that's why he was killed, to the point I don't think there's really any doubt anymore.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

A recent probe into his killing have mentioned that the gang who possibly killed Pasolini, has ties to the far-right.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 14 points 12 hours ago

According to the Google, and I'm not going to search further despite knowing it's unreliable, the number for Bill Clinton is about 50 times. Just because the OP didn't mention him, and also because that's rookie numbers. Even when you include Trump sucking Bubba's dick.

So, can we hunt pedos yet? Like a reverse most dangerous game?

Musk being ghosted and still in the top 5 of this list is hilarious.

[–] Goodeye8@piefed.social 5 points 9 hours ago

Because he's so insecure he desperately wants to be in the "In" group. And he probably got ghosted because he's the kind of guy who'd go around bragging how he's in the Epsteins pedo cabal

There's a huge difference about the way the media is reporting the horrific information uncovered in these files.

Independent media, who are having to read the files themselves and view the images and the videos, you can just see that they are damaged by that information because it's so disturbing. And the vast amount of it is so overwhelming. You can see that they're upset by it.

But when you watch the mainstream media, the "Reporters" aren't really directly reading or viewing any of the file information. They're just getting a summary from somebody else in their organization who's reading it for them. And so they can report it very disinterested. They're actually downplaying it. It makes you think they seem more professional, but it's just because reporters in the mainstream media are not actually looking at all this awful stuff, and if they did, I think they would be reporting it much more accurately as the devastating and horrible thing it really is.

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Yes. For example, I read in The Guardian (see #6) that Richard Branson was mentioned, but they only really talked about one line of one email and how he did not have anything to do with Epstein's real activity or knowledge of it, etc.

Then I saw the full content of the email where Richard Branson was offering Epstein direct advice on how to rehabilitate his public image after finishing his sentence:

Dear Jeffrey, It was really nice seeing you yesterday. The boys in Watersports can't stop speaking about it! Any time you're in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!

  1. I think if Bill Gates was willing to say that you've been a brilliant advisor to him, that you slipped up many years ago by sleeping with a 17 1/2 year old woman and were punished for it, that you've more than learnt your lesson and have done nothing that's against the law since and, yes, as a single man you seem to have a penchant for women. But there's nothing wrong with that. Anyway something along those lines.

It's such a disparity between the reporting and the reality I don't think it can legitimately be called reporting.

EDITED to add links and correct myself

It's always the guys you suspect the most.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Remember when the Clinton's were accused of running an underground pedophile ring at a pizza shop in DC? Turns out that wasn't true.
