Everyone is focusing on the sex-act, but what about the Putin /photos part? This suggests strongly that Putin does have Kompromat on Trump, which is long suspected.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 68 points 3 days ago (1 children)

To be real: I think it was all over the news that there was a rumor Putin has Kompromat pictures of Trump, and Mark was just making a facetious joke about it all.

He did ruin a fun couple of days with this clarification though, so boo to him.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 30 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Trump didn’t blow anyone. It’s only slightly less believable than if you told me he was seen holding a door open for someone. He wouldn’t take 10 seconds to do something for someone else.

Why the fuck do people keep saying that, after we know for a fact he has a humiliation fetish?

“Someone should spank you with that,” she recalled saying to the politician about the magazine.

Daniels, 45, then testified that Trump, who was wearing a black kimono-like garment over a tight black shirt, rolled up the magazine and “gave me a look,” seemingly as a dare.

“So I took it from him and I said turn around, and I swatted him right on the butt,” she told jurors. “And he was much more polite.”

People like Trump who constantly put on a "tough guy act" can 100% be submissive and capable of giving a blowjob.

Fucking crazy that in 2025 so many people think sexuality is basic.

Selfish people don't give blowjobs? That's the best you can do?

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Would he potentially do it if it was a requirement of joining the little girls sex club? Initiation rituals like that not only make it "safe" against people that would try to spill the secret, but photos of it act as insurance to further guarantee it stays secret. And since Epstein was a spy for various countries, it doubled as a way to control a bunch of powerful people.

What about the real coverup? The fact that all these leading nations are corrupted? And humanity basically handed off the human species to world conquering psychopaths. Earth isn't even "gods" earth anymore.

Genuine honest human life was traded to psychopaths out of insecurity and fear.

People need to focus on genuine humanity and rebuilding honest community while detoxing and NOT participating in this fucked up world that "they" created. And that also means sacrificing the privileges and comfort of the "modern" life we all escape reality with. Otherwise nothing is actually going to change.

There's a huge "spiritual" or "zightgeist" side of what's going on right now. And things can't be fixed with the simple traditional politics, which have been learned to be manipulated for whatever people with power want.

People need to change the way they perceive reality and that can only start when they detox from the unatural reality that's constantly marketed to them.

I loathe clickbait titles. The statement:

For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to ‘Bubba’ in this correspondence is not, in any way, a reference to former President Bill Clinton,” Mark Epstein said in an apparent statement, shared by Shamsian on social media late Saturday.

Any attempt to conflate that reference with President Clinton, or to read sweeping implications onto them, misrepresents both the purpose and the tone of the original correspondence. I want to be absolutely clear on this point so that the public record is not distorted and so that speculation does not unfairly implicate people who are not actually being referenced in those communications.

Emphasis mine

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 59 points 3 days ago (11 children)

Until he provides clear representation of both the purpose and tone of the original correspondence and who or what Bubba reallu is, I don't see a reason to not believe that it is Clinton.

Clearly this fucker knows more than he is telling. We should waterboard some answers out of the scummy bastard for trying to keep dick sucking Donnie's secrets . If he knows who it ain't then he knows who it is.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 days ago

Why isn't he under investigation? Why isn't Michael Wolf being investigated for criminal conspiracy? He was literally directing Epstein on how best to blackmail Trump. Is that not a crime?

I think the more interesting part to emphasize is the last sentence. It really draws attention to the parts he didn't say

I, for one, completely believe the brother of infamous sex trafficking pedophile Jeffery Epstein.

He says it's not a Clinton... But won't say what it actually meant...

But one thing I've seen in other articles is that "Bubba" can be used by pedophilea to refer to boys.

And I could have sworn at least two boys have sued trump for sexual assault already.

It's much worse than Clinton, he's a (presumably) consenting adult. But if we keep saying it's Clinton, there's a chance one of these idiots say what it actually meant.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

"Bubba" can be used by pedophilea to refer to boys.

Suddenly bubba means 37 things I've never heard.

The old trick to get the right answer on the internet. You don't post the question, you post the wrong answer very confidently. Someone will correct you.

It doesn't even matter. Isn't the shocking part that this exchange confirms the rumours that Putin has dirt on Trump, which makes him a security liability.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If anything, this is the message to focus on. Our president is compromised.

[–] AngularViscosity@piefed.social 14 points 3 days ago

I think you mean... kompromised 😎

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 41 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

You know what? Call me a hopeless square, but if you think Jeffrey Epstein was creepy, his brother is sketchy as fuck too if you ask me. He seems to know entirely too much for a man who isn't in prison. Maybe a couple of interviews with the house oversight committee would do America good.

But I guess we shouldn't antagonize the only source of credible material that has any chance of bringing Trump down. So painful though it is to admit it, I'm willing to let it slide for the brother.

Oh and yeah, where I come from, "bubba" means "brother": maybe he was the one Trump sucked off?

[–] AngularViscosity@piefed.social 23 points 3 days ago

There's good reason to believe Epstein's entire family was into pedophilia, rape, and incest.

Here's Epstein's niece speaking out about her sexual trauma involving her mother, her father, and Larry David.

So it was the horse, then.

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Must have been. Sounds like Mark was trying to reign in the gossip. I imagine he didn’t want to be saddled with the responsibility of his comment. Maybe the whole thing was just some horsing around.

So he denied that “bubba” was Bill Clinton, but did not retract that there was a photo out there of Trump blowing “bubba”. So trump has most definitely sucked a cock or two in his day.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago (3 children)

But the "sucking" part is the one we are laughing at. Doesn't really matter who was on the receiving end.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Apparently, there are two known "Bubba" in that fucked up story, Clinton and one of Maxwell's horse. Not sure which would be worse for Trump to be honest

[–] AngularViscosity@piefed.social 13 points 3 days ago

Gay beastiality would sound a lot worse if his followers weren't already fucking farm animals

Says it's not Clinton, refuses to elaborate, leaves.

If Bill Clinton was cool he'd record a video confirming he got top from trump. Even if it wasn't true.

If Bubba was a human male, would that make Trump the first known queer president? I guess if Bubba was Bill Clinton, that would make Clinton the first known queer president?

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 13 points 2 days ago

There was definitely a full on homosexual president. Buchanan lived with William King for over a decade.

Why do we have to listen to what this guy says his words meant back then? Is he an esteemed author? Do we have to analyze his intent? WHERE IS JA??

And you know people are getting nervous when the brother has to crawl out and “set the record straight”.

I still remember seeing a news clip during trump's first term when he was at some dinner seated at a long table (don't remember if it was Helsinki or some other event they both attended), where Putin was on the opposite side and a ways down the table from him. He kept looking at Putin trying to catch his eye and get his attention and when Putin looked his way, trump looked at him made a pumping motion with his hand in a you-know-what motion, just like he was inviting him for a hand job. No one in the media made any comment about what he was doing, but I was shocked and replayed the clip a few times to check if I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. That's what it looked like to me.
