    Ah yes, his name was planted in the files by his political enemies to defame him and then they kept the files secret for years to make the frame-job extra believable. Very credible story, no notes.

    I am taking this as the official admission by Donald Trump that his name is in fact in the Epstein files, planted or not.

      Oh man. Kinda triggered by this.

      In my early 20s, (20 years ago) I became entangled with my first girlfriend. It was awful, but I somehow believed that relationships were about “making it work” which I interpreted to mean coping with whatever abuse.

      She was a compulsive liar. I’d never encountered anything like that before.

      I remember thinking that her lies were my fault because I’d asked her about something that she didn’t want to tell the truth about. Wow, that was a trip.

    It’s very clear that he’s on the list and that’s not surprising. What’s surprising is that out of all the people in these bureaus and government, not a single person is standing up and doing anything. It’s unbelievable that there aren’t and people with intrinsic good in them to fucking do something about this.

      Last 10 years have really shown us how trash this country is, haven’t they?

      Americans aren’t very smart. Americans are pretty weak.

      Sad. But true.

        Americans invented the propaganda systems which have now eaten their brains. It is currently being trained on the rest of the world.

        (They also warned us about those same propaganda systems, but we didn’t care about that.)

        Heads up.

      Well, I’d like to be surprised that POTUS was visiting a rape island, but having observed Trump for nearly a decade it’s entirely predictable that he would do that given the opportunity.

      I think you could sort the members and supporters of his regime broadly into 3 categories:

      • there’s the MAGA people who are on board because they’re sick of the wokerati telling them what to do. They’re not really “engaged” with the politics. These are the “leopards ate my face” types.
      • there’s the apathetic conservatives who are trying not to look too closely, don’t necessarily like Trump, but support conservative policies and aren’t going to oppose him.
      • then there’s the active supporters like the FBI agents reviewing the files or republicans voting not to release them. They’re complicit for their own benefit.

        I think there’s a fourth category, which is people who are keeping quiet for their own health. If you blew the whistle, how long do you truly believe you’d remain anonymous? Even if you moved to a foreign country right afterwards, how long do you think you’d stay alive? You have a highly narcissistic man in control of one of the most complex and far-reaching systems of surveillance ever built, and that man is HIGHLY invested in keeping his secrets - and failing that, he’s never been above making examples. Don’t forget Trump worked with the Mob, likely the Russian Mafia, and came of age in the tail end of the era where blowing the whistle on the wrong person in NY could very well end with you getting a lead injection from a very Italian man.

    Given the way his enemies control all areas of the government and he is just a defenseless president who has put in most of the members of the courts and completely controls the party in power in congress and installed stooges into the top levels of every federal agency. Totally believable.

    Wait, the Epstein list that definitely doesn’t exist may have his name planted on it?

    The files are real, I’ve got them on my desk

    My enemies are named in the files.

    I’m not going to release the files for people to see the context.

    Nobody cares anyway we won’t talk about it.

    Ok everyone cares about it but the list doesn’t actually exist

    Okay it exists but all instances that mention me are fake <-- you are here
