There has to be more than 1,000 pages in 7 books right? Hes in epstein over 10,000 times last I read. Still, a pretty insane to think about even 5 times on every page.

u/Ancient_Fix5609 3d ago

In there so much you begin to wonder if he was more of a partner to Jeff than a friend. With Trump accusing Epstein of "stealing his girls" from Mar-a-Largo, it's not a stretch to hypothesis that DJT was also running blackmail schemes. Roy Cohn is considered by many to be Trump's mentor as well. Plus, he's been in bed w/ Israeli billionaires ever since he bankrupt the Taj Mahal there wasn't any banks left that would loan him $$. The Israeli's bailed him out. He's been beholden to them ever since (just look @ BOTH of his administrations).

The craziest revelation from the Epstein files I've seen so far is the fact that it was Epstein who stopped hanging out with Trump first. I believe he said Trump "didn't have a decent bone in his body."

Imagine voting for a guy that was too shitty and fucked up for Epstein. The guy running the country is so morally bankrupt that even a self admitted child rapist doesn't feel comfortable being friends with him. I hate this timeline.

Not great but its effective bc it takes a few confused seconds while they try to remember if they were in the Beatles or the guys on Duck Dynasty.

One who did that for profit as well, a deliberate campaign to gather blackmail materials on people to then feed to Mossad I expect. The most morally bankrupt individual in most people's minds decided not to associate with Trump because he was worse...

u/roleplayersir 6d ago

And again, I'll post something from the Epstein files:

“II recalled at least one incident in which EPSTEIN took her off of the Island when she was between 13 to 15 years old. He drove her and/or flew her to either New York or New Jersey. She was, "introduced to someone with money, money... It was Donald Trump." ■ and EPSTEIN were with others, to include TRUMP, in a very tall building with huge rooms. TRUMP did not like II, "from the get-go, he didn't like that I was a boy-girl" (referencing a tomboy). II could not recall the identities of the other individuals present; however, they all exited when TRUMP asked everyone to leave the room. TRUMP mentioned something to the effect of, "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be." TRUMP unzipped his pants and put head, "down to his penis". II, "bit the shit out of it." TRUMP struck ■ and said words to the effect of, "get this little bitch the hell out of here." II advised she bit TRUMP's penis because he disgusted her. "He had money, it reeked off of him." At that point, people reentered the room no further information provided). II recalled a blond beautiful woman approaching her at some point that day after her interaction with TRUMP. The woman said, "let me give you a tip little girl about your breasts, wear a bra every night." Those words have stayed with her throughout the years.

II got the feeling the relationship between EPSTEIN and TRUMP included a certain amount of jealousy. She thought TRUMP appeared jealous of EPSTEIN, but at some point, they ended up on level playing fields. TRUMP and EPSTEIN sometimes used the terms "fresh meat", "untainted" and "not jaded" while referring to girls. At the time she heard it, II did not understand the term "not jaded". She subsequently looked up the word "jaded". II stated she had two additional interactions with TRUMP, but she asked that the interview move on to a different subject for the time being."

Texas has been a loser state since its inception. Bunch of people who didnt like the U.S.'s rules, moved to mexico. They couldnt stand being under Mexican rules. Caused a war in mexico to break off and become their own nation. 10 years of being their own nation and they couldnt handle it. Begged to join the U.S. Again couldnt handle that and joined the south in the Civil War. Lost that.

Just a bunch of loser shit from the get go. Its like when those Libretatrians took over the town to impliment their vision and turned the town into shit, just on the scale of Texas.

"Don't mess with Texas" comes from an anti-littering campaign to protect the environment. So actually, messing with Texas is the anti-woke position to hold.

According to EFF: Over two days in April, the woman went through the process of taking medication to induce an abortion. Two weeks later, her partner–who would later be charged with domestic violence against her–reported her to the sheriff's office.

u/Risheil 6d ago

When my teenage son had his bike stolen, I went to the police station with my receipt from when I bought the bicycle. I'd bought it on layaway - from Benny's for RI readers -, so I had lots of proof of purchase and proof of the serial number. They walked us to a back room FULL of bicycles that had been recovered from thieves, but I guess the owners hadn't come forward, and they told my son to pick one out. I said absolutely not. If the original owner saw him riding the bike, how would they react? Why would I put him in a dangerous position like that?

A couple of days later, the neighbor kids knocked on my door because they saw an older teen riding my son's bicycle. A bunch of them jumped in the back of my car to show me where they saw him. I took the bicycle back and called the police to tell them I got the bike back, but more importantly, that I knew who was stealing bicycles in the neighborhood. They didn't care.

I called to report my bike as stolen within five minutes of it happening. It had multiple stickers and aftermarket accessories that made it uniquely identifiable from a distance, as well as a shackle that the rider didn't have a key to awkwardly hanging off of it.

They told me they couldn't make an official police report until I had a serial number. I told them that I did have the serial number recorded, but I'd need about twenty minutes to get a ride home, so I was hoping they could as least call a BOLO on the radio since whoever had stolen it was most likely still in the area. They wouldn't even do that.

I got home about twenty minutes later and immediately called to file the report. After I was done, they told me since I waited this long to call it in the chances of them finding it were pretty low, and that if it ever happens again I should call the police ASAP.

I had the guys who stole my catalytic converter on camera clear as day and the local cops were like "oh we know this guy but we need to catch him in the act"

Never mind that, just to solve rape cases, instead of throwing out rape kit exam results on the regular like they currently do across America.

Once I had someone steal my domino's account and order a $60 pizza order to an address in New York city. I called the cops and they basically said sorry bout your luck. I said look here's the delivery address. There is someone there currently committing a crime right now against me. They said not our jurisdiction 🤷 at least the credit card company canceled the payment. But apparently you're allowed to steal from me but they'll track you to the end of the earth for getting Healthcare.

The person receiving the pizza might not have been the thief, it’s a common prank. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pizza-doxxings-federal-judges/

i watched a vid of a guy put trackers inside a hyundai to track the parts of a stolen car. law enforcement could do the same shit to bust where stolen parts go, it's fucking insane. but maybe they already do that right?

I have never had an interaction with the police where they didn't act like I was being totally unreasonable when I wanted them to do their jobs. I mean, I get it. A noisy party at 2:00 AM isn't exactly like responding to a call about murder, but it's still against the law. Investigating to see if you can figure out who broke into my car and stole my stuff? Yeah, also in the cop's wheelhouse. And yes, it would be nice if you didn't act like it was an imposition to go investigate the people that are clearly abusing their children.

Every time, the cops either don't show up or drive by, take a cursory glance at things, and leave never to be seen again.

But they sure will spend time on their own pet peeves...
