Summary

Donald Trump's name appears in Jeffrey Epstein's recently released flight logs seven times, including flights in 1993 and 1994, some with his then-wife Marla Maples and daughter Tiffany.

The documents were released by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who stated this was the first phase of disclosures regarding Epstein’s network.

Bondi requested additional FBI records on Epstein, citing thousands of undisclosed pages.

Epstein, who died in 2019, had connections to Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew, though no wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged.

Ahhh so that's why he went apeshit on zelenskyy today. Gotta refresh those headlines.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago

he needs a distraction from the epstein stuff, by going apeshit on zelenksy meetings.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Seven flights—Trump’s past ties to Epstein deserve deeper scrutiny.

🐱🐱🐱

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know why you think that.

It's not like the girl who was raped by Prince Andrew was recruited by Epstein at Mar-a-Lago or anything, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Epstein’s connections were as blatant as Prince Andrew’s inability to sweat—hard to ignore

😺😺😺😺

For a second there I was thinking about the circumstances surrounding Ivana Trump's mysterious staircase death.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

Isn’t it in a book, that trump shoved her down the stairs? Or maybe I’m confusing that with when he just beat her. IDK

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

Donald Trump knew about Epstein but didn't tell us; we had to find out for ourselves.

The fact that nobody is saying this and none of you have considered it until reading this comment should be very telling at how deep their power runs, and how stupid we are for going along with it.

We literally aren't allowed to have our own thoughts. We can only think and talk about what the powers that be have deemed appropriate.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

What are you talking about? People have been saying this for a while now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Hell Ive seen photos

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure we have all been saying that for years. Pretty much from the moment the Epstein shit blew up. I mean, they were best buds for over a decade.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

I've seen people mention that Trump knew about Epstein, but I've never seen them make the connection to him withholding that information from us for decades.

It creates the argument that either Trump isn't as all-seeing as his base would like to believe, or he's part of the cabal that protects pedophiles like Epstein. We're not allowed to look in this direction.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

I suspect most people don't bring it up because that's the least of what their friendship implies. And of course if Trump is a pedo, then he would definitely be protecting them.
The real problem is that his base doesn't care if he's a child rapist or not. They are either jealous that he gets away with it and aspire to be like him, or they think it's his God given right and the poor lost children he raped should be honored.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Does it matter how many and which Republicans are named in Epstein's records? Even if set in stone proof is available and records show pedofilic enconters with minors... Consequences do not seem to apply to the Republican party.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Well, yeah. He's a rapist. Epstein ran the Disneyworld equivalent of rape attractions. If you're good at football, you go to the Superbowl. If you're good at violence, you go to prison. Trump is good at rape. Of course Trump went to Rapeworld.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 hours ago

It's a brag, he liked the guy.

"No wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged."

FFS

I am alleging it now and have alleged it for years: Donald J Trump joined convicted pedophile and sexual abuser Jeffery Epstein in raping an underage girl.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 hours ago

raping an underage girl

This is libelous - how dare you imply it was only one?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I was questioning that too. I'm certain I've read allegations of wrongdoing, i.e. sex with a minor, attributed to Trump. Why are they saying otherwise? (no need to answer that, I think we know)

No wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged.

BECAUSE HE SETTLED THE CIVIL SUIT, A TACIT ADMISSION THAT THEY RAPED A THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD TOGETHER.

I wish the media would just be straight with us. Obligatory "Fuck Reagan".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

More info on this? Dont know what to search for.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

I think this is the Jane Doe section here, but rather than settle, the plaintiff withdrew the case and I think it’s believed it was due to fear from threats.

Anyone with skill to do a basic Google search can easily see he's a kiddy diddler, no surprise here.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

Noooo. No no no. He was inspecting the teen beauty pageant when he walked into the dressing room full of naked minors. You don't understand. When you're famous, they let you do it!

Anyway, those trans people sure are bad, huh?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

Dude's an undisguised daughter diddler, so the kiddie part goes without saying

[–] [email protected] 96 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

Why is this a surprise? It's undisputed that trump knew Epstein and hung out with him. He even raped a girl who was also "hanging around" Epstein for lack of a better word.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

For anyone paying attention, it’s no surprise. To the people who blindly follow him, though…well, they’ll probably never hear about this or just brush it off as some liberal shadow government conspiracy against him.

[–] stardust 2 points 5 hours ago

He could eat a baby in front of them and they'd go from being shocked to figuring out how it was justified. I don't think anything can shatter the hold he has over his cult followers at this point.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

His supporters have no trouble making the transition from "it didn't happen" to "it wasn't a big deal".

Let's be honest: If Epstein was still alive and in prison, he would get a pardon from Trump

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

they still have ghislaine, but she isnt talking, too much powerful people all over the world is on epsteins list.

[–] [email protected] 95 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

And an appointment to head the children and families administration.

though no wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged.

Uhhhh...

A woman accused Donald Trump of raping her when she was 13 years old in a lawsuit filed in federal court in New York this week. The lawsuit alleges that the assaults happened at parties hosted by billionaire Jeffrey Epstein (for more on his past see our previous story).

https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/yes-donald-trump-was-accused-of-raping-a-13-year-old-but-this-lawsuit-has-little-chance-of-succeeding/

Pretty sure being sued for raping one of Epstein's 13 year old "massage therapists" is allegeding he committed a wrongdoing or two...

Edit:

To clarify that article is almost a decade old.

I was just pointing out that there's absolutely been enough to cross the threshold of "no alleged wrongdoings"

Donald Trump's name appears in Jeffrey Epstein's recently released flight logs seven times

Wow, committed rape at least seven times

[–] [email protected] 93 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (6 children)

Donald Trump praised the owner of a sex yacht when he delivered a speech to the Boy Scouts.

He mentioned the owner liked young girls.

You can't make this stuff up.

edit. This was not Epstien, it was another pedophile pal of Trump.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Donald Trump also praised Epstein, saying he liked women on the "younger side."

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York Magazine that year for a story headlined “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery.” “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. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

It was all out there in black and white in 2016, and people deliberately ignored it.

I've been bugging out for almost a decade with no relief in sight.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago
