Maybe the real reason Trump doesn't want these files released? He was sucking off some guy named Bubba?

Is that AI? Trump looks very unlike himself. And what hat is that?

AI? Nope:

https://www.fastcompany.com/4018822/new-photos-show-just-how-chummy-donald-trump-and-bill-clinton-have-been-over-the-years

The Clinton Library has released a batch of photos showing Bill Clinton hamming it up with Donald Trump in 2000 at Trump Towers and at the U.S. Open.

and..he's commented before on the size of golfer' willies

Trump rebuked by Arnold Palmer’s daughter for fawning over late golf legend’s penis size

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 20 points 14 hours ago

Thanks for verifying. I feel like I've become paranoid nowadays.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 17 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I don't understand how trump got the conservative ticket, dude was a dem in NY and he was even at the Clinton's wedding.

It's because he's actually smiling

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 17 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

This might be the first time I have seen him smiling.

He does sometimes. It's fake as fuck, of course. One thing I've never seen and can't even conceive of him doing is laughing.

Although it obviously a joke, in the spirit of all the fucking hellscape Republicans have put us through, and the fact that they've literally killed the power of truth, I'm going to go ahead and roll with this.

He definitely, positively, eagerly sucked Bill Clinton's dick. No shadow of a doubt. The evidence is right there. And even if it's not, he did it anyways.

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 47 points 14 hours ago

I'm not convinced it is obviously a joke. It would explain a LOT.

[–] ryper@lemmy.ca 33 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Trump sucked Clinton's dick as sure as JD Vance fucked a couch.

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 18 points 14 hours ago

We need to spread that Trump is the first/second gay/bi president.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

It doesn't obviously look like a joke. I searched and found the email in the database myself. It's there.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 13 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

I think they're saying Epstein's brother was joking in the email, but apparrently he has now clarified it was not Clinton.

Wait wait wait wait... It's real?

I thought it was just an edited email to make it look like it was Trump and Clinton. Why would Trump want more investigation into Clinton?

Actually nevermind, after rereading it I'm almost certain it's a joke since they're referencing Putin having the "dirt" on him. That's gotta be a joke.

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 67 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It might not be. I could see Putin telling trump to do it or a pee tape video or maybe a child rape video was going to be released. I could see trump complying under those circumstances.

[–] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 18 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Putin should really just release it anywau at this point

The idea that Bubba is Bill Clinton is the part I have a hard time believing. And I think it might be a joke. But I also think it's possible that Trump performed oral on someone or something named Bubba.

I've never heard that nickname for Bill Clinton before. Maybe I live under a rock or maybe it's a private nickname that could be corroborated elsewhere in the Epstein files, but idk he's never looked like a "Bubba" to me.

More critically, I have a hard time believing the 2016 election cycle plays out the way it did if this were the case.

But I do think it's clear there's SOMETHING that Trump doesn't want the public to know about. And I don't think he or his base care about him being with 16 year old girls. Or even his daughter. What could it be that Trump would be scared of his base knowing about?

So I think Bubba could be another dude. Or perhaps a gigantic novelty dildo. Or maybe even an animal.

Edit: For everyone getting caught up in the nickname, Mark Epstein has said that it wasn't Bill Clinton. Plus, even if you don't believe him it still doesn't make sense that it's Bill with how 2016 played out.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 20 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Bubba is a well known nickname for Bill (Clinton), it's a term of endearment in the South.

It's really sad that the maga base would be more upset at cheeto blowing a grown man, than fucking children

Roman attitudes towards sex were based on power and control. It wasn't seen as a connection between two individuals, that was secondary. It was informally allowed for a high ranking official to have sex with individuals below them in status including other men and adolescents without harm to one's reputation.

Having sex with a man of higher status was seen as emasculating and worthy of ridicule. Essentially it was seen as taking on the role of the woman in a relationship and women were very much subservient to men in this society.

Christianity has had a cultural impact on some of these views but there are definitely times when it seems like modern Western cultural attitudes (especially amongst regressives) have not progressed very far beyond that old conceptualization of sexual relationships.

Tl;dr: Having a sexual encounter with a man of higher status is feminizing which is more damning than crimes against humanity to the backwards minded.

And to think, all this time my conspiracy theory was that Trump and Clinton were involved in an affair, I was right, but I pegged the wrong Clinton!

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 44 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I think you mean he pegged the wrong Clinton.

[–] derry@midwest.social 12 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Pegged by the wrong Clinton

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 13 points 15 hours ago

Well Trump certainly wasn't pegged by the wrong one.

"sex act"...

It said trump sucked Bubba's dick

Which even if it wasn't Bill Clinton, that's worse than raping kids to his base.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair, the list of things for Trump's base that's worse than raping kids is pretty long.

Trump goes BALLISTIC and ERUPTS as he is SLAMMED from behind by dems

It sucks knowing we're probably past the age of non-sensationalist headlines

Damn, my dudes, next time give me a bit of a heads up, now I gotta run to the store on a Friday afternoon to stock up on popcorn and butter!

May the MAGA meltdown be epic and entertaining.

[–] IronpigsWizard@lemmy.world 19 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

We live in a reality where Bill Clinton holding a press conference for denying sexual relations with Donald Trump is plausible now.

Those who show conservatism on the outside are often the worst. Pedophile priests, closet homos who play homophobes in public, fundamentalist evangelical mothers who see that their teenage daughters get an abortion to avoid scandal.

Donald Trump being a pedophile is probably beyond doubt by now. Him trying men for a change is not really surprising.
