This is not being reported in the U.S. news media. Maybe you can argue it’s because it’s July 4th, but if this doesn’t come out in a major way tomorrow, I guess the fix is in.

“Trump’s name appears over and over again on Jeffrey Epstein’s message logs in the grand jury docs released this week. It is also undisputed: Trump’s name appears 7 times on Epstein’s private jet flight logs, that Epstein flew on Trump’s jet with a young girl of indeterminate age, girls who Epstein trafficked worked at Mar-A-Lago, a girl Epstein trafficked mentioned visiting Trump’s casino in a recently released deposition transcript. Trump said Epstein is a great guy who likes girls on the younger side, Trump frequently “partied” with Epstein, Trump wished Ghislaine Maxwell well at her criminal trial, and someone who testified under the pseudonym JANE DOE at the Ghislaine Maxwell criminal trial stated that she was introduced to Trump by Epstein when she was 14 years old,” a user posted on X.

I would like to see you make a post about this instead of hijacking this post. But I understand. That would create a lot of visibility for your user account.

There’s literally nothing Donald Trump could do that would make his worshipping voters change their minds about him. They believe anything critical of him is a lie and made up to hurt him politically. I can’t believe how dumb the electorate has become. Must be a general lack of education.

The outrage-machine of culture war has become so fervent that it’s the only thing they care about. I watch police bodycam videos because they’re genuinely unscripted (unlike reality tv). The frequency with which arrestees cite their poor living conditions as motivations for their actions always has me wondering how much they attribute their circumstance to oligarchs fucking us all over vs anger that’s turned outward towards groups that don’t affect them at all. Obviously, I’m projecting, but it’s something that drives my curiosity.

More education generally means richer.

Rich people generally pay for better education.

Children generally vote the same as their parents.

Richer generally means more likely to vote republican.

Very US-centric take. College education should be part of the general public education system like it is in Europe. It should not be connected to a person’s net worth. In Europe, you go to college based on merits, not wealth.

I also think it’s a very questionable conclusion to say that the more educated people are, the more they vote Republican. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. Hence, Republicans have incentive to keep people as dumb as possible.

The republican part, certainly

In Europe, you go to college based on merits, not wealth.

In Europe the rich also pay for additional education to maximise their offsprings merits. Maybe not to the same degree, but it is there.

Agreed. I specifically avoided drawing that conclusion.

Republican politicians have long used language targeted at a 5th grade level of comprehension. Trump’s big innovation in politics was targeting a 4th grade level.

I often hear conservative family members complain about the public school system and calling for it to be dismantled. To them, the public school system is the reason for every evil the US faces, both on economic issues and social issues. They all listen to a lot of conservative talk radio and happily mix bible quotes and Rush Limbaugh quotes into the same sentence.

This is just new evidence to support what has already been known. I would be surprised if this made the news considering it never made the news before.

Yes, Trump is a rapist and a pedophile and not just an acquaintance of Epstein.

I wonder what the wealthy “liberal media” moguls think this guy will have done with them and their money, when he’s in office again? McDonald’s parties with underage masseuses?

For that matter, I wonder how many wealthy media moguls were on the Lolita Express with this guy?
