I took this screenshot myself from the government release page.

    This is so deranged sounding that I want to doubt her, but Trump keeps giving me reasons to believe her.

    There are cops, staff, friends, family, there has to be hundreds of people who know.

    We need more of them to start breaking, but I can understand not wanting to destroy your family and “commit suicide”.

    Even if he was innocent, he has proven himself to be vindictive and spiteful. Helpful witnesses would be financially destroyed if they disagreed with his narrative in any way.

    I’m just gonna go ahead and say that I believe this 100% not because I have strong evidence of it but because in the last 10 years Trump has proved that he is deranged enough to do something like before breakfast.

    Imagine if he and Epstein were all arrested in like 2010 or something. I imagine we’d have flying cars now.

        Helicopters take a whole set of very specific skills to fly. Some sort of multi-rotor set up could potentially be dumbed down and assisted enough for the general public to operate.

          Imagine the most middle of the road (metaphorically not literally) driver you can. Now imagine handing them the keys to a <150mph vehicle with the ability to go vertically. How do you think that will go? And what do you think about handing the keys to not just them, but the other 50% of people that are dumber than this imaginary midwit.

          Now try and work out what will happen to your driving insurance, or your house insurance if you live near a road when these imaginary people have flying cars.

            I mean obviously the only way flying cars ever work is if they fly themselves. Even then they’re still a terrible idea though and would be super duper not eco friendly.

              Absolutely hilarious that it’s almost word for word the opening paragraph (and took a NASA contracted aeronautical engineer to turn into a reality, and even they couldn’t stop it from crashing)

            Never said it was a good idea. For sure never said I intended to participate. I just said it will reach a point of marketable. Being able to fly in the things will be subscription based, based on speed and altitude of flight, all controlled by the network. Only the most expensive models will even have a user control mode that will only work outside of traffic controlled areas. All a terrible idea. All going to be a thing before you or I are comfortable with it.

      I don’t disagree that this shit needs to be addressed, but you do realize that anyone can call the FBI and make claims, and those claims do have to be recorded. Sure, these claims seem on brand, but they are just that. Unsubstantiated claims.

      So like, yes, fuck the pedo elite, but don’t start feeling too vindicated when you see something like this, that has no evidentiary weight to it that we know of.

      The first case against Epstein was “resolved” under the Bush Admin and the second, where Maxwell received her sentence, was under the Trump admin before being sealed by the courts until late 2023.

      I think more importantly is that WE knew. We all knew. “TrafficKing: The Jeffrey Epstein Case” Book by Conchita Sarnoff we published in 2015, we knew all of this and the American public still elected this piece of shit Donald Trump, who we knew was his friend, president.

        If we had a functional democracy, then the opposition party would have made Epstein a major figure in the presidential elections.

        The Democratic Party had three opportunities - 2016, 2020, 2024 - when they should have been shouting “Epstein” from every podium, instead they brushed it under the rug.

        The reality is we didn’t “all” know. Ask any random person on the street, they’ve never heard of TrafficKing or Julie K Brown or even Virginia Giuffre. It is easy to blame individual voters for their ignorance, but it makes much more sense to view this as an institutional failure.

          Indeed, instead they pretended he wasn’t running in four years, and when they did run against him, it was to court Republican voters (the majority of her campaign).

          This was in spite of the well-known mathematical fact that an Independent issue must be campaigned on to win an election. Instead, they were “hoping” (officially) Rs would change their mind.

          Can’t argue with the money they made to do this though, a billion dollars is a new record, especially when she just had a few months. It took Trump FOUR YEARS to raise 900 million or so, she did it in about four months. Amazing, unheard amounts of Super-PAC money made this happen, she did what she was paid to do.

          This is all public information, they don’t even bother to hide it any longer, it’s now LEGAL (because as you know, corporations are people and money is free speech).

          I’d argue if you had a functioning democracy then the Dems wouldn’t have needed to do anything about this, much less need it as a campaign tactic. The criminals would go to jail and probably the conservative party would dissolve.

      I don’t see it anywhere on the mainstream media website foxnews.com, the mainstream media seems focused on someone getting a DUI and new Orleans’ murder rate due to the national guard.
