From the birthday book tributes, compare
tributes to lechery
One friend compared him to the main character in Ernest Hemingway’s “The Old Man and the Sea,” except instead of fish, Jeffrey Epstein caught women, “blonde, red or brunette.”
“So many girls, so little time,” wrote a third associate of Mr. Epstein.
the book contained everything from a handwritten letter from Mr. Epstein’s mother, to photos of scantily clad young women, to a cartoon drawing of Mr. Epstein lying in a beach chair getting what appears to be a nude massage from four topless women.
Most notably, the book contains the now well-publicized poem to Mr. Epstein that bears Donald J. Trump’s name.
Elsewhere there is an oversized check that purports to be Mr. Epstein jokingly selling a “fully depreciated” woman to Mr. Trump for $22,500.
The venture capitalist William Elkus described how Mr. Epstein managed to conjure a beautiful woman out of thin air during a visit to a farm town in Iowa
Another person, named Leslie wrote, “I wanted to get you what you want,” so “here it is.” The brief, scrawled note is accompanied by a drawing of breasts. And another contributor, who said he “agonized long and hard about what to write,” added photos of zebras and lions having sex, adding that the images “seemed more appropriate than anything I could put in words.”
In one letter, a person who signed only “Nick,” recounted an evening in London that left Mr. Epstein “howling with laughter.” That night, the contributor said, an “old man smiling sweetly” pulled down a woman’s panties and put his hand on her privates, only to find another man’s hand already there. Another letter alludes to when Mr. Epstein, in the mid-1970s, first “discovered the Maxwell teen-age daughter.”
Another poem ends noting that somehow at age 50, Mr. Epstein “has avoided the penitentiary.”
and
One submission attributed to former President Bill Clinton focused on what he described as Mr. Epstein’s “childlike curiosity” and his “drive to make a difference.”
Right, positive evidence of crime!
Bill Clinton was an FBI informant infiltrating the cabal of shadowy pedophiles. I will literally die for Bill Clinton. See source.
Thwarted by Sync’s previews.
Boooooo
Throw him and Trump in the same cell at pedo prison.
Polarizing tribals: “Its blue! Its red! Its the left! Its the right!”
Me, since like forever:
Plus, the guy was way wrapped up in financing stuff, which just attracts other money-grubbing people anyway. Same with Harvey Weinstein, where they use the money and cloud of flies buzzing around them as the cover if they get caught. They use the ones that didn’t know about their crimes as protection. Fully disgusting, but such is the thrall of money I suppose.
“Thrall of money” can be rearranged to spell “holy lemon fart”.
Every now and then I see a phrase and wonder about anagrams. Really paid off this time.
The same release also includes confirmation of the Trump “wonderful secret” note that he claimed was a hoax, and is currently suing the WSJ for billions for reporting on.
Wonder if he’ll withdraw the lawsuit, or whether the whole thing was just another “it’s not a bribe, it’s a settlement” scam.
Frankly I love this, because now we get to watch the conservatives squirm.
Is Bill Clinton a pedo for associating with Epstein? Or are they going to walk back all of their statements and say Clinton did nothing wrong writing a sex trafficker a birthday card?
All the Democrats I know are fine with locking him up if evidence against him surfaces, but boy howdy is it gonna do a number on the conservatives in my life.
The hypocrisy and inconsistency is on purpose.
They. Do. Not. Care
now we get to watch the conservatives squirm.
If they weren’t shameless hypocrites, yeah. You really think they’ll have any issue saying Clinton is a pedo for associating with Epstein, while in the same breath saying Trump did nothing wrong for that exact same thing?
Didn’t you hear? He was an FBI informant.
War criminal is also a pedophile. What a surprise.
Frankly, I don’t even think Hillary gives a shit about covering for Bill at this stage- The argument that anyone is trying to protect Bill is idiotic.
Is that credible evidence to “cover” of a crime?
And if she did give a shit about covering for Bill in the past and did anything to meaningfully do that, then by all means, lock her up too.
This shouldn’t be political. I don’t care if there was a stupid slogan for that chanted by idiots, a broken clock can be right sometimes.
Like giving us the sitting POTUS as a candidate in the first place? Worshipping at the altar of Kissenger and Nunn? Color revos? Or any number of things during her tenure as Secretary of State?
Those are political things. Those are things she should have been voted out of power for, not locked up for.
I was thinking more along the lines of the “helping cover up pedophilia and human trafficking” thing. That’s a crime worthy of prison time.
She was voted out of power. And then we got Trump.
I’m no fan of Clinton, but rather a million times her than Trump. But the US clearly needs better candidates.
Certainly, she would have been a better president than Trump. But that’s damning with extremely faint praise. A rotten turnip would have been a better president than Trump.
I’ve long tried to tell Americans that they need to spend their effort on the party primaries, that’s the last chance for actual options to be considered. Once you get to the election itself the only thing left to evaluate is “which is the lesser evil?”
Those are things she should have been voted out of power for, not locked up for.
Everything is political, my friend. She should absolutely face consequences for her role in the heinous war crimes committed while she was secretary of state.
We’ve got literal piles of active Nazis and you want to go after Hillary for doing status quo shit.
Yeah, okay. Let me add her to the list. I think I’ve got a spot here at #187.
Don’t worry, I want to go after the fascists. But I reject the assertion that making life worse for Americans is somehow more morally wrong than making life worse for Libyans. In fact, I will go so far as to say that if you are willing to hand wave away atrocities as “status quo shit” then it makes sense that fascism is where things end up.
I don’t know if that was a marriage of convenience/business since the beginning, but it sure seems to have got there eventually.
Cool, he can share a cell with Trump
The good thing about both parties hating progressives is that no one circles the wagons to protect progressives.
Anthony Weiner was immediately persona non grata when his allegations came out.
Progressive perverts get no protection because both parties want them gone, so there’s no backlog.
Meanwhile, republicans and centrists alike participated in a culture of protecting reprehensible predators in order to hold on to power that might otherwise be vested in people who give a shit about the poor.
There is some credit to be given in that no one seems to be circling the wagons for clinton now, but he’s already served his purpose: 8 years of triangulating with the right.
Wonder how many centrists are sitting in awkward silence and how much of the “fine, lock clinton up too” sentiment is coming from progressives.
Lock him up if there’s enough evidence of a crime. After going after Trump. I don’t care about party or celeb status if they did such things.
Lock Slick Willie up as well! Throw all these fucks in jail. Regardless of party or status.
Are the words “if there’s enough evidence of a crime” implied or deliberately omitted?
Funny how only one party agrees with you. With us.
What party is that? Democrats sat on these Epstein files too. They weren’t important again until Biden left office.
Did Clinton draw a pubescent girl for the birthday book and then sign it?
Also, were they besties?
Lock them all up
Is that credible evidence of a crime?
Trump first though. Right now, he is doing a shit ton of harm.
Jesus. What did he just show him on the computer? “Hey Jeff, c’mere you won’t believe it. It’s a show called cuties.”
Can anyone read lips? What are they saying?
… and justice for all. lol
This isn’t surprising anyone.
The new take: “Epstein was a popular rich guy, everyone knew him and wished him well! It doesn’t mean they ‘knew’ him! Nobody knew what he and Ghislane were up to!”
But it doesn’t matter. The oligarchs don’t pay for their crimes. They don’t even get charged. Do you want to see them pay? I hear there’s a discount on pitchforks recently seeing as there’s nobody to work the fields.
No oppressors ever walked away peacefully at the request of the oppressed. Just sayin’
The new take: “Epstein was a popular rich guy, everyone knew him and wished him well! It doesn’t mean they ‘knew’ him! Nobody knew what he and Ghislane were up to!”
Not exactly “new”. The recognition that guilt by association is a fallacy and a hallmark of an undeveloped, irrational mentality has been around for a while. The unsound indulgence of biases such as confirmation bias & emotional reasoning is justly criticized.
If you want to discredit your position though, and make serious inquiry look bad so people can point at you & say
See? These people are irrational! How can we take them seriously?
then this is a great way to do it.
