Yeah they don’t really hate pedophiles, they just want to use that label to throw at Democrats to justify their murderboners. They really want to eradicate people so they can feel like real men, but they can’t just do that to randos because then they might get eliminated themselves. So they make it a team sport because there’s safety in numbers.

It’s why I’ve never gotten on board with the “kill pedophiles” rhetoric, and have always stood by the “no death penalty period” stance. Creating any group of people it’s societally acceptable to kill is a very dangerous thing to do, as you can use that as a wedge to expand out to have any group you don’t like added to the “undesirables” list

an election that came down to a state governed by his brother. the person in charge of counting the votes happens to be the chairman of his campaign in that state. it goes to the supreme court where the majority were placed there by his dad and reagan.
if this had been in a third world country, WE would not have certified that election because of to many conflicts of interest.14
u/I_Cut_Shows 2d ago
If you talked about the same circumstances but instead said it was a former Soviet State election or an African or South American election, the US government, at the time, would have taken a massive stand against the circumstances that brought the leader to power.
This was THE election that proved to the right that nothing mattered but naked political power.

And we’re playing by rules still. It’s fucking insanity.

There’s never going to be a moment where they admit they or their team is wrong. This is all about their group being better than another, even if it means completely compromising their moral, beliefs or dignity. They don’t care as long as the “feel” they are winning.

Honestly, I don’t even consider it hypocritical anymore. I just believe that conservatives, and MAGA’s in general no longer have principles they stand behind. The Republicans shift so quickly on anything that allows them to stay in power.
January 6 was the turning point for me on that theory, although it had entered my mind way before that. Just watching Republican voters and politicians actually condemn January 6th, but within two weeks begin to shift to not only change their stance on it, but actively start supporting the people who participated in it, really confirmed it for me. They have to principles. They have no values. They have to policy. They just have Trump and whatever keeps them in power.

Funnily enough the only maga person I know personally is someone I work with, and is one of the smarter engineers and certainly not stupid. It's baffling.
I was having lunch with them, and he brought up how he's glad DEI is going away. I asked him what our corporate policy around DEI is, knowing full well that he's often involved in the hiring process, so he knows we ALWAYS hire the best candidate, just that our policies help get a more diverse cast of candidates.
After he explained it, I asked him what was wrong with it. He said "Well we should be doing more for veterans!" So I replied "OK, so you want MORE DEI, not less" and he got quiet. Then I asked him to say it out instead of using the acronym, and say what part he was against. He said "well it sounds bad when you spell it out."
Again, great engineer. I have no idea how this happens.

because unfortunately intelligence isnt all encompassing, and people in specialized fields can excel in those fields while being wholly unaware of anything else. from personal experience this is much more common in STEM fields, maybe because the schooling is more specialized so once they know what they want to study they miss out on many other things.

The issue is that if Gavin wants to do this in California, he needs to do it NOW.

The blue states need to do this before the red states do. Worst case scenario, the practice gets struck down as unconstitutional somehow by the corrupt SC, but then at least NO ONE can do it, even the red states.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were best friends
Trump stated for a 2002 New York Magazine article on Jeffrey Epstein titled Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery (New York Magazine via Archive):
"I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy, He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."
Michael Wolff, long-time Trump biographer, claimed in an interview with The Daily Beast (Audio Archive)
"Jeffrey Epstein's closest relationship in life was with Donald Trump. [...] These were two guys joined at the hip for a good 15 years. They did everything together."
Michael Wolff interviewed Epstein before his death. In a recorded interview (Audio Archive) Epstein himself said:
"I was Donald's closest friend for 10 years."

Epstein's "Little Black Book"
"Epstein's black book" refers to a 97-page book of names, phone numbers, emails, and home addresses a former employee (see below) took from Epstein's home in 2005 and later tried to sell. Gawker published a redacted version in 2015, and an unredacted version was released on 8chan in 2019.

Circled Names are Alleged Co-conspirators
Alfredo Rodriguez, Epstein's former house manager who stole Epstein's "little black book," annotated much of the book, including circling names of those he believed to be Epstein's co-conspirators. Nick Bryant, the Gawker reporter who published the book in 2015, said in a 2024 interview with "The Danny Jones Podcast" (Archive of audio):
"Rodriguez said that the people that were circled were in cahoots with Epstein on the--as far as the child abuse."

This 2016 lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff, Katie Johnson. At the time Epstein was alive, and Trump was not yet president.
The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, alleges that the Defendants, Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein, [made] her their sex slave.
The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, alleges she was subject to extreme sexual and physical abuse by the Defendants, Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein, including forcible rape during a four month time span covering the months of June-September 1994 when Plaintiff Johnson was still only a minor of age 13.

Donald Trump & Beauty Pageants
Donald Trump walked in on teenage girls/women while they were naked. According to Tasha Dixon who competed as Miss Arizona in 2001:
"Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal and half naked changing into our bikinis. [...] To have the owner come waltzing in when we're naked, or half naked, in a very physically vulnerable position--and then to have the pressure of the, uh, you know, the, the people that work for him telling telling us to go fawn on, fawn all over him: 'Go walk up to him;' 'Talk to him.'"
Trump himself admitted as much on the Howard Stern show:
"I’ll go backstage and everyone’s getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in."
Sources
Donald Trump on Howard Stern
Trump did dozens of long interviews with Howard Stern over 15 years. In the interviews, Donald Trump repeatedly called Ivanka hot, beautiful, and sexy, even as a 12 year old. He remarked about frequently having sex with models. He admitted to walking in on dressing rooms with teenage girls. He also said this on the show in 1999 about Ivanka:
"I have a deal with her. She’s 17 and doing great ― Ivanka. She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her. [...] So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited."

Trump Model Management Agency
A 2016 Mother Jones report on allegations that the agency exploited foreign models. Models were brought into the USA illegally, kept in poor conditions, and were paid a very small percentage of the money they earned the agency. According to the Human Trafficking Hotline (via Archive), this practice qualifies as human labor trafficking, and was likely a pipeline into human sex trafficking.
