Reminder that the President of the United States of America is a child rapist.

No no, didn't you hear? His relationship with Epstein was purely business. That's why there are Trump branded condoms in the photo dump, it was purely a business thing.

Set it on fire. Hell, at this stage it's so toxic it's close to spontaneously self combusting.

They drained it right into DC.

That video was stupid. 19 photos released, and they repeatedly cycle through just a few of them. I've already seen better coverage of this elsewhere.

Bill gates, bill Clinton, Steve bannon, trump and Epstein looking hot in a bathtub. Useless. That glove was fucking wild, i never seen shit like that. Kinda scared me, I'll get one on each hand and chase people in the town square, like an oiled up Mickey mouse.

Working for me. I fact, it now appears to have jumped from 19 to ~~83~~ 92 images. Looks like new images are mostly just more pictures from the island.

Edited to update the count. I think we can safely assume these will keep rolling in for a while.

~~Dude~~ Ehud Barak: "Why are you taking my picture?" Epstein: "For blackmail, you silly goose."

[–] velindora@lemmy.cafe 22 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Man, bannon is such a slob. Like dude has money, get it tailored.

Damn right.

Eh. I honestly think that's the real sign of the truly rich. Not sure how much Bannon has, but you'll notice that the centimillionaires and billionaires don't tend to spend a lot on truly useless signifiers of wealth like suits (or stupid sneakers that are way overpriced, or absurd clothes that advertise their own brand so you can be a walking billboard for someone's clothing line, etc. - that's for the underclass to aspire to, generally) and other baubles.

At least I don't see many of the men doing that. The women that have access to this wealth may do it, but it might be about trying to keep having access to that wealth, if you know what I mean.

You'll see some millionaire celebrities/music artists engaging in this sort of dumbassery, I suppose. It's a cliche of the nouveau riche to engage in buying up useless and pointless fashion.

The people that have true fuck you money? They tend to dress like shit and don't seem to spend much on clothes. Honestly, I get it - who are they trying to impress? They aren't trying to climb any corporate or social ladder. It's actually kind of a power move - they can wear whatever the hell they want because what else is anyone going to do about it? Dress codes are for the lower classes.

When it comes to Bannon, I think he's not quite in that stratosphere, but rubs elbows with such types. I think his brand at this point is to look like some bum that just rolled off a mattress under a bridge and sauntered to his current location. You think he would maybe trying to climb the socioeconomic ladder and dress the part, but...?

The wealthy who have 'fuck you' money, they're the ones wielding it to sway power. That's where it really is at, for them. When they know they can pay off someone just gullible enough to do their bidding because of the dollar.

Some may have multiple homes, but that's just multiple points of operation. These kinds of people operate like hoodlums in suits. Power is not measured by just how much you have. It's measured by how you can get things done.

It should be illegal to put photos of him on the internet because I can smell him through my phone

He has all the charm of an unwiped asshole.

Is that a framed picture of a half dressed girl who's passed out on Epstein's desk?

[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Is that Dean Kamen in the last picture??? That might be the most upsetting thing I've seen in a long time...

I thought the inventor of the Segway died driving a Segway off a cliff or some shit?

I wonder if his instructions from Mossad were "photobomb as many well known people as you can"

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Incoming invasion of Venezuela, whatever it takes to distract from the Epstein files…

Jesus, just hang em already.
