The photos, which do not imply wrongdoing, are part of a trove of images the House Oversight Committee received from Epstein's estate.

Woody Allen? No way! Not the guy who married his daughter. There's no way!

Apparently, he married the adoptive daughter of the women he previously had an 8-year-long relation with. While technically neither dad nor step-dad, he certainly entered her life as a father figure.

That's pretty fucked up. Never knew, thanks!

Erroll Musk, father of Elon Musk, spawned two kids with his former stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout. They met when she was 4.

I'm beginning to see a pattern here...

By "full drop", do you mean every pic we have, or just the ones recently released?

(Edit: Checked it out and it appears to be the latter.)

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I disagree. These photos may not prove wrong, but they certainly do imply it.

[–] HowRu68@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No, no no no. the photos raise even more QUESTIONS /s

" These disturbing photos raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. "

I'd say that Epstein got along" just fine" with them.

Crazy how Americans ended up with Clinton and Trump and Clinton vs. Trump.

They must really love pedophiles.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We don't choose our candidates, the RNC and DNC do.

Yes we vote in the primaries, but voting is a very small part in the election machine.

Do you think Bill and Hillary Clinton are the same person?

[–] ninexe@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As far as politics go, yes.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You just accused both of being pedophiles, you absolute fucking dumbass. On top of that, you accused Americans of therefore "loving pedophiles".

Now you're going to pretend it was because they have similar political beliefs? It's a little too late for that bullshit.

[–] verdi@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

They do have similar political beliefs. That's why Clinton continued the deregulation started by Reagan. They are just figureheads for the usanian establishment. His wife is no different, and wouldn't be that different from trump. As far as Europeans are concerned, the IRA did more damage than trump.

The photos, which do not legally imply wrongdoing

Fixed it for them. Might not be usable in a court of law but that doesn't mean that it doesn't look hella sus..

The trump condoms with the saying “I’m HUUUUGE!” Had me falling off my chair.

[–] PietPuk@discuss.online 3 points 21 hours ago

I would feel the same, being that condom...

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm more concerned that so many people he's photographed with are in blackface.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

yeah, what did they use? Vanta black?

I have photos of trump and epstein no one has ever seen..

[–] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world -5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I am sorry but this is a nothing burger. At this point I really don't know what to expect.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"nothing burger" is MAGA's favorite term for outright dismissing something they can't argue or explain.

[–] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes it might be but there is nothing in these pictures that we don't already know. The full unredacted Epstein file must be released. At this point the Democrats are being nothing but performative to get us to shut the fuck up about it.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

They're doing the exact opposite. If they dump them all at once people will be overwhelmed by the volume and interest will wane well before the midterms.

It makes no sense whatsoever to accuse them of wanting us to shut up about it. Literally none. If anything, just dumping all at once would be doing that, not gradually releasing them which is what actually keeps it in people's minds.

Literally any excuse to blame Democrats for everything around here. Why would they want people to shup up about it?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 22 hours ago

They quarantined all the good stuff, of course. They'll let slip a few salacious items, but overall there will be nothing actionable, and no revelations of important people we didn't already know about. It's likely there will be a lot more Dems than Republicans. We certainly won't see any interesting billionaires' names.
