    Oddly precise wording. She could have chosen more blanket language and she didnt. She might just as well have held a press conference and admitted she is guilty.

    my mind immediately jumps to how bill clinton just said “i did not have sexual relations with that woman”, which was obviously a bold-faced like, so… why whouldn’t she just lie??

    Up until today I’d just assumed without thinking about it that she wasn’t involved in any of the scummier Epstein dealings, but she’s just done a good job of making me question that.

    We have a strange suspicion that she was secretly trying to remind everybody that the Epstein Files are still a problem.

        She could be doing it to hurt her idiot husband. Her motivations don’t have to be good. People (inadvertantly) do good things for bad reasons all the time.

      Apparently she is in a legal battle against Michael Wolff who claimed that Epstein was the one who originally introduced Melania and Trump to each other

      in my estimation it’s more than “knows” just like Ghislane more than “knew.” Given 47’s relationship to Vince McMahon, we know that more than one of his best friends was running a sex trafficking ring. given that it seems an awful lot like Epstein’s relationship to trump was more a B2B relationship than a business to client/customer relationship

      She’s been right there when they picked out girls, it’s all in the files. I regret reading that part because it haunts me, it was described vividly. Imma take it down a few notches but still gonna spoiler tag and warn that it’s graphic:

      spoiler

      They basically had 10-13 yo girls put in line, then went to each and put their fingers inside them to see if they were good (whatever that means), then Trump, Epstien etc. took them to private rooms to do worse things. The first part being with Melina, their own kids and other people right there.

        The files are everything they have on Epstein, and that includes anonymous accusations. Without corroborating evidence, there’s nothing that tells us how accurate this account is or if it even happened at all.

            You could’ve ended that question with the word “kids”, and I kind of wonder why you didn’t. The answer is “Of course not, because nobody has a time machine”.

            Open a god damn history book, holy shit dude. We probably have like 3, maybe 5 presidents total who weren’t pedophiles… absolute best case scenario. You’re whitewashing history just like maga do.

              Okay so it was intended to be snarky sarcasm more than whitewashing anything, but it’s hard to get that across without spelling out my every intention.

              The instant snap judgements thrown by everyone and assumptions about viewpointints and intentions on the internet are exhausting.

                Where did I make any assumptions about your viewpoints or intentions? Judgement, sure I “judged” the comment to be factually incorrect and potentially misleading for others reading it…which is objectively true so idk what you’re getting at there.

                  You said I am whitewashing history like maga does. It is right in your post. That expresses an assumption of an intent to do so. As I said, this was an offhanded stupid comment that really wasn’t intended to spark any kind of stupid debate. I am far from supporting any of the current regime and far from trying to paint some PragerU vision of history, but it sure seems like you assumed I was.

                  I hope you have a great rest of your day.

    First, epstein island to distract from the thing.

    Second war to distract from epstein island.

    Third we’re back to epstein island again.

    Fourth, coliseum gladiator fight between nepotism babies on Crack (hunter Biden vs trump sons).

    Lolz.

      You know, trump might be cooking effectively here.

      If there’s a deep fake release of epstein’s being alive, then trump could start global manhunt.Akin to tracking down osama bin laden, and I kinda feel like we’d all be down with catching epstein.

      And even if we catch and kill em, we can still do a weekend at bernie’s kind of thing.
