Trump allowing CHILD SEX TRAFFICKER GHISLAINE MAXWELL to go out on Work Release is PROOF that Trump is doing EVERYTHING he can to Bring Child Rapists to Justice!
How is /conservative going to spin this one?
Almost wish I had an account for some trolling.
r conservative the trolling is very short lived... you'll get one post to survive 15 minutes before getting banned.
Don't even need to troll, just state facts.
Well even getting a new account and posting non troll will get you suspended by the spam filters. They are quite aggressive. Can't really have throwaways anymore
"Shut up, Lib"
BAN BUTTON
Oh they're being quiet now about it. Standard practice, if they can't spin it, they go full ostrich.
If they're quiet, they're probably waiting for the new talking points to drop so they can be a unified front.
Like a centrifuge. They're spinning so hard they've passed escape velocity.
What world do we live in?
To recap, Trump and Epstein were friends while Epstein was selling child sex to rich people. Trump is implicated in a plethora of ways, including that creepy ass birthday card and Epstein having Trump's name circled in his little black book, alongside everyone else who has been confirmed to have involvement in the sex ring.
Meanwhile, Trump is hosting teen beauty pageants in Russia where he peeped on underage girls changing and later bragged about it. And of course, we know Trump started to sour on Epstein when Epstein "stole" an underage masseuse from Mar a Lago to turn her into a prostitute. And Trump knew this but was more upset about the stealing part than the underage prostitution part.
And Epstein soured on Trump when he told Trump he was buying a mansion in Florida and Trump outbid him using money provided by a Russian oligarch for... reasons. And Epstein threatens to out Trump for his Russia connection, so Trump then drops the dime on Epstein and gets him arrested for soliciting prostitution from a minor. But Epstein "somehow" gets a sweetheart deal where he only serves 13 months in jail and is allowed out during the day on... what was that phrase? Oh yeah.
Work release.
Good thing Epstein got that deal from... Alex Acosta? Why does that name seem familiar? Oh yeah, because when Trump became president, he randomly appointed Alex Acosta to be Labor Secretary, for... reasons.
Similar to how after Trump sent Pam Bondi's re-election campaign for Florida attorney general $25,000 just randomly right around the time her office decided not to investigate Trump University for fraud. And now, Trump has appointed Pam Bondi as attorney general of the United States because... I'm sure there must be a good reason.
And now of course, after Ghislaine Maxwell met with Trump's deputy attorney general Todd Blanche, she's moved to low security, and she's going to be allowed out on... huh. Work release. Well, isn't that an odd turn of events?
How does the general public so severely lack the critical thinking skills to put this together? For the record, that question is rhetorical. I know the answer. I'm just sad about it.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure he did this in the US
Oh, you are correct. Miss USA is where he did the peeping, and it's 2013's Miss Universe where a Russian oligarch paid Trump 20 million dollars to bring the pageant to Moscow. And then that oligarch's son connected the Trump campaign with a Russian lawyer in 2016 to get dirt on Hillary Clinton's campaign.
It's hard to keep track of all the debauchery.
