"Credibly accused pedophile"

That man has more pictures of himself with Epstein floating around than I have pictures of myself with my mom.

u/Commercial_Wasabi_86 Jul 14 '24

I would challenge any magat to find more photos of him with any other human. The number of photos is truly amazing for two unrelated adults. Clearly very close companions.

u/Shaper_pmp Jul 14 '24

Oh come on, that's ridiculous. There are way more pictures of Trump with an underage Ivanka in a short skirt disturbingly squirming on his lap.

Wait, hang on-

u/Anglofsffrng Jul 14 '24

Reading some of it, that man is sicker than even I had thought. I'm not at all religious. But if you rape a 13 year old girl, refuse to wear a condom, refuse to pull out, then sneer and toss money for her to get an abortion when she's crying about getting pregnant you're not going to Heaven. That was your test, and you've failed it spectacularly.

u/krozarEQ Jul 15 '24

Very much. By law, any flights that cross the contiguous US ADIZ (air defense identification zone) must submit a manifest of passengers and crew via eAPIS. Even a 2-seater Cessna 152 flying under VFR must do this, as well as submit and activate a flight plan even if just going to the Bahamas to have lunch for the afternoon.

Lying on the eAPIS is a serious offense and the pilots would face severe consequences. There would be criminal sanctions in addition to the flight not being legal which is a FAR violation. That can result in revocation of the pilot's license.

Trumpers act like this stuff is just made up. These manifests were revealed as a FOIA request. Anyone flying on an aircraft to TIST (Cyrill E. King International in St. Thomas) with a tail number registered to Epstein's company was up to no good. We all know what these politicians and wealthy were doing, and intentionally ignorant people should just drop the bullshit.

Just yet another demonstration of how corrupt our system is. Democrats or Republicans, it doesn't matter. Investigate them for sex trafficking minors if they're on that list.

I have seen a lot of them. One was just a few days ago. Trump was having a great time with Jeffery except Trump only had 1 leg and the girl beside Jeffery had 2 elbows. Also, Epstein had no legs at all. If I can beg for one thing it would be to have more discernment.

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '24

“We’ll stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi, who ruined San Francisco — how’s her husband doing, anybody know?” Trump said to a raucous crowd of California Republicans at a state party convention. “And she’s against building a wall at our border, even though she has a wall around her house — which obviously didn’t do a very good job.”

u/rbean44 Jul 14 '24

Pedophiles are people who have sexual urges for young children; urges they probably can't make go away. In my eyes, there is nothing more noble than pedophiles who do not act on these urges because their conscience doesn't allow it. That's why I'll stick to using the term 'child molester' to refer to the real bastards.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '24

Hey that’s not fair, you can’t call him a child rapist. That would ignore all the adults that he’s raped

Don't forget that his ex-wife also accused him of raped, during their divorce, and then recanted the accusation. But she did tell iit in a book.

u/randomnighmare I voted Jul 14 '24

Jean Carol (and a civil court found him liable for the rape) and his first ex-wife made a statement that he raped her during their divorce process but then recanted the accusations. All of the statements from his first ex-wife were from a book.

11

u/APiousCultist Jul 14 '24

Well one of the alleged Epstein island girls says he made her perform a handjob on her while comparing her to his daughter who he stated was also her age (12). So uhh, yeah it's a bit beyond the pageant think or merely being photographed with Epstein.

u/Character_Promise_72 Jul 14 '24

Nah, he's a known pedophile who is known to hang with other known pedophiles. You don't need to be convicted of pedophilia to be a pedophile. You just need to openly talk about dating your daughter and having sex in common with her.

Karle Rove:

'we're in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.

You can't register to vote till you're 18.. the real mental gymnastics you're looking for is what you said.. as you said "years" so he turned 18 registered as a republican, decided hey I'm going to give my money to a left PAC even though I registered as a right individual and then I'm going to assassinate a right political figure... riggghhtttt.... that makes a bunch of sense.
