From reddit.... https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/s/eBjDX0zt07


Here are the Epstein Files. For those of you who have seen this comment before, my apologies. I am trying to keep this information alive. Please feel free to share. Contact me if you want provenance.

https://joshwho.net/EpsteinList/black-book-unredacted.pdf (verified pre-Bondi) Trump is on page 85, or pdf pg. 80

Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

—————————other Epstein Information

https://cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/Johnson/_TrumpEpstein/_Calif/_Lawsuit.pdf here’s a court doc of Epstein and Trump raping a 13 yr old together.

Some people think this claim is a hoax. Here is Katies testimony on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnib-OORRRo

Reminder that Virginia Giuffre (Virginia Roberts in this document) died earlier this year, in an apparent suicide.

Which is presumably convenient for somebody.

More like 'Full List of Pedophiles who blocked...'

[–] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 82 points 3 days ago (2 children)

So a bunch of pedos and people who are okay with pedos.

Dems need to run with this. Point it out to the MAGAt moron brigade and keep the fire lit. Those twits have the attention span of a gnat but maybe if you keep jingling the keys long enough, something might seep in...?

[–] smayonak@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago

Trump himself tweeted (or "truthed" which is more 1984 than anything ive heard recently) that Obama and Clinton made the list up to attack him. This guy just admitted to being on the list.

Dems need to run with this.

Lol just wait until dinos like Fetterman castigate their fellow democrats for daring to emphasize it. During the election Fetterman ripped on democrats for harping on trump's felony convictions, saying we were supposed to be the party of "forgiveness and redemption". Imagine supporting "forgiveness and redemption" for people involved in child sex slavery.

So we can all assume that every single person that voted against it was actually a client, right? Do their voters know they're voting for Epstein's clients?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 29 points 3 days ago (2 children)

more likely they protecting MAJOR DONORS to the gop.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I'm going to assume that anyone voting to hide a list of pedos is a pedo. They can feel free to prove otherwise.

Hackers, do us a solid and release this shit. It's impossible that it isn't on one of these muppets' downloads folder or some shit considering the type of infosec these people follow.

Yeah, this seems like a prime target for Anonymous. Would be interesting to see big news outlets struggling between chasing a huge story and not wanting to cover something that outs their bosses (since there's probably lots of them on there too).

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago (4 children)

What is the logic behind voting No? (Yes I understand any such logic would be twisted and flawed)

Other than "my name's on the list so I would prefer the list stay secret"

[–] habitualTartare@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

"we have more important things to discuss" and "why are we still talking about this and wasting time when there's a secret laptop and emails" /S

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I checked r/conservative out of curiosity

Apparently there were other things included in the vote trying to be smuggled in?

Daddy Trump said to stop asking about them. They must fulfill his marching orders. We wouldn't want to contradict Dear Leader.

Republicans would rather protect rich people who rape kids than working people. The GOP is beyond redemption and there is no sanity or humanity left in it. Everyone needs to stop acting like there is any way back to normalcy that includes them as part of it.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

also known as the list of people on the epstein list

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 21 points 2 days ago

People this low in the pecking order don't get invites to Paedo Island.

Might be worth looking at who donates to them though...

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

All in favor of releasing the list of people who opposed releasing the list say aye.

Aye!

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In the upcoming mid-term election, EVERY Democrat should be making this vote a primary part of their campaign marketing. Tie that vote to every MAGA Nazi, and don't let go. These people are pro-Epstein, and pro-Child Sexual Abuse.

If the Dems is an incumbent, running against a MAGA who wasn't in office, blame them for the vote anyway. Declare that they are just another vicious MAGA Nazi, and would have voted for this, and every other MAGA vote that HitlerPig demanded. They may not have been in office but they would vote 100% MAGA.

Make them wear it through the whole campaign.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

It's cute you think we're still going to have midterms.

/s maybe?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I have my doubts, too, but until they decide to go full on dictatorship, I'm going to keep assuming it's business as usual.

If they cancel elections, though, that's a bright red line that they are crossing. At that point, America no longer exists, and I am under no obligation to follow its laws or pay taxes.

Been waiting ten years for these chucklefucks to face the consequences of their backing Trump's blatant fascism. Hasn't happened yet. I'll believe it when I see it.

the Ds voted for knowing full well it wasnt going to get released, and reps blocked it. the sudden change from both parties being silent on the issue, is extremely suspect. they made a deal behind the scenes knowing it will be blocked regardless as performative action.

Pedophiles are probably rampant among the rich and powerful. At that level where all your needs are provided for you either become wise or you become depraved. It's basically life 101. The richer you are the worst your chances are of turning out to be a decent human being.
