    Somehow I don’t think the people who voted for a felon rapist traitor conman are going to care if he fucked some kids.

      Oh I’ve heard LOTS of conservatives beg for the files. I was like “you know it won’t end well for you right”

      I intend to remind them

        Still wont get released like ever. And even if, they wont believe it.

        its either planted for them, or fake news, or he was thinking she was 18 or whatever. Nothing can change their mind because they lost their ability to think

        “Well I mean, look where she was? On Epstein private island? Basically asking for it”

        Ick. I would expect something like that from that crowd. Some excuse to make it ‘ok’

        Vomit

        They’ll make excuses, like they always do.

        If you took a time machine back 15 years and explained to them that they’d be making excuses for felons, rapists and people running plays from the Nazi playbook, they’d refuse to believe you. But here we are. Running interference for kiddy diddlers is the next logical step in their devolution.

        Conservatives cannot be trusted with power.

        they are willing to ignore the trump ones, who is the most prolific visitor of epstein island.

        They still are on r/conservative. I checked today. Some are saying they thought it was shady that Trump said he’d release them then all of a sudden he went silent on the matter.

        They are all over the place now.

    Man, this is great.

    I knew they’d fall out eventually, because they’re all so inherently unlikeable, but this one’s gonna be a doozy.

    And I’m going to be here cheering it on like a playground fight.

            Wait, what makes this a confirmation? Just cause Elon said it? I mean we all suspected it, that’s exactly what I’d expect from Trump. But Elon saying something doesn’t make it a fact, the dude loves to shit talk people and he’s never needed proof before…

            So I’m going to go out on a limb and say Elon doesn’t actually know any more than the rest of us. And it also doesn’t really matter either way, Trump was a rapist before and a rapist after.

    Of course he is. He’s a rapist who’s raped numerous children.

    Duh. So is Musk. Those were some expensive karate lessons Ghislaine hooked him up with. No matter. Continue to eat one another. Then enter a permanent K Hole.

        Right? Accessing non-public information related to legal proceedings could very well be breaking the law. This is the sort of thing that could be actionable, in criminal or civil court.

            And now he’s pissing off someone who has shown full willingness to weaponize the Justice department.

            But I also brought up civil court for a reason. Trump doesn’t really have direct leverage there and the discovery process could be very interesting in a case like that. A victim involved in the Epstein case may very well have standing to bring a civil suit if Musk is making information that’s harmful to them public.

      If he did, he wouldn’t have to dig up stuff that’s been in the public domain for years.

    this is actually good, not just drama.

    Musk is basically Trump’s publicist. without him, a lot of Trump propaganda machinery is gone.

    This trump vs elon narrative feels performative. Call me a cynic, but I feel like a narrative is being pushed to try and win back good will for elon.

      From elon maybe, but there’s no way agent orange can fake letting himself be insulted publicly and be OK with it. He’s just getting played again, like he does by everyone who doesn’t need his resources. Suckers like Giuliani actually needed his money, so he was left holding the bag, but guys like putin and elon can just use him and drop him because he has no guile.
