    Ah I get ya, I thought you meant both would condemn it and theres no hope the Republicans would now.

    This theory has been floating round for years. And knowing how Israel operate it should be of no surprise to anyone. This is a country who installed spyware on their largest allies defence forces computers. That killed that same countries soldiers in a false flag attack, to try to drag them in to a war, who stole the documents that allowed them to create nuclear weapons and who created a false narrative to try to get that same country to go to war on its behalf.

    Its hardly surprising it was working to obtain kompromat on the most powerful and influential people in this same country.

    The Dems voted to release it. MAGA blocked it.

    I mean, the main thing about this NFL team name issue is that Trump is fighting the release of the Epstein files.....

    I think he just likes being in the news. His narcicism compels him to be talked about constantly hence the ridiculous daily statements that never come to anything.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 31,321 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    Thats the most Mob-Boss post he has made in a while.

    Trump's base don't mind Israel blowing the hell out of the Palestinians, as a rule. Some MAGA pundits were trying to get clicks by pushing back on the idea of a war with Iran, which never came to be, or even really looked likely to. Trump doesn't need to be a Mossad asset because he already does Israel's bidding, and the base has been largely fine with that (I don't recall a lot of blowback from them when he suggested that Gaza be entirely cleared out).

    Personally I don’t believe there is this great file of pedo secrets although there’s likely “something” or somethings that Trump would prefer kept away from the public eye- he’s already stated that this “nothing” file of lies was likely created by the Democrats anyway- which kindof points to there being a file 😀

    Anyway, the longer it runs the more damage to MAGA which can’t be a bad thing- if MAGA supporters start to get shouted at in the street ….”pedo”… that too is a good thing- the brand of MAGA will start to rot

    Like the way their former hero Musk is a bad guy now. Even in the MAGA world attempting to claim that Murdoch is a radical leftist is not going to fly.

    These events have also united sections of both MAGA and the Democrats in wanting these files released. Some MAGA are quite vociferous about it which is driving some 'who are the real MAGA' debates in the ranks. We may have reached the equivalent of the divisive debates that have traditionally roiled religious sects and far leftist parties: 'release the files MAGA';' It's a hoax/loyalty to Trump above everything MAGA'; 'help Ukraine' MAGA and 'hate Ukraine' MAGA;Israel-first MAGA and-a much smaller-MAGA that's sceptical about Israel.

    In which Walter Mitty Trump strikes again..

    1000013805.png

    He complains about the dangers of AI, launched multiple applications in order to establish presidential immunity (literally arguing he was above the law), was convicted himself and yet posts a fake video of President Obama getting arrested in the White House without any charges existing

    More distraction essentially - anything to get the Epstein story to go away - he has to make an impactful and outrageous statement though to do that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,408 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    Here's the problem with the US, there's no "truth" anymore. No-one trusts the news anymore. If definitive proof was released tomorrow of Trump being a paedophile, it wouldn't matter because half the country at least would have serious doubts about the authenticity of the information and as was mentioned, a large chunk wouldn't care.

    Look at the crap that we know about trump. There's a ridiculous amount that can be actually proven. But it doesn't matter. He still got millions and millions of votes. Anyone who thinks the next thing will cause Trump to suddenly lose support is going to be proven wrong.

    It either didn't matter or people thought it was just political spin because they're so used to hearing lies.

    I do think maga/trump will lose support over time but it will be a slow erosion. It will be caused by the effects maga policies have on ordinary people. Everyone was for cutting government waste until their essential service was cut. Everyone is for deporting criminals until the criminal turns out to be the grandma down the road who got a parking ticket.

    to be honest if I was American I think I’d be happy to wait for details of an international paedophile ring if my leader was sorting the real issues like the ingredients of Coca Cola or the name of a football team. He’s just one man he can’t sort everything immediately



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,408 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    There's a certain group that are deplorable. And there's a group of people who voted for their own self interest, or what they thought was in their interest. Lower taxes, less government spending etc… But there's a large segment who voted because America sucks. It's a really bad place to live if you're not wealthy. And a long line of democratic and republican presidents have done very little to make it better. And these people aren't political. They don't read the news. They might catch a min or two on TV. Mainly they're bombarded with political ads on TV and Facebook.

    Tells you a lot about DJT's sick racist fantasies.

    I think apathy has set in for many - there’s a hopelessness that exists across the country- and it’s probably why Trump/MAGA did so well - many people thought they had little to lose considering how little they had -until of course, Trump too even that away from them



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,576 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    It has been said that Clinton sent a letter to Epstein too.

    MAGA - This is disgusting. Release the papers. That'll show the Democrats

    Democrats - we agree. Release the papers

    MAGA - ..........

    It would be a pretty shocking indictment of the US intelligence services if there wasn't a massive file of 'pedo secrets' relating to Epstein.

    The other side of that is they could have been setting honey traps themselves.

    He had his daily “massages” and he had his island where many of the great and good as well as bad were seen to travel to.

    I’ve absolutely no doubt that the “masseurs” reported back to Epstein on just what happened - whether this was written down or kept in memory only or was covertly video recorded, who knows.

    But -There were definitely people who interacted with Epstein purely on a business or charity related relationship only and were l/are innocent of any wrongdoing.

    Remember, running a “pedo-club” for high net worth and powerful people, means you must first recruit these people- I don’t believe every second person Epstein interacted with is a pedo- I just don’t.

    The vast majority of sex crimes in the Maxwell case, were perpetrated by Epstein himself - there wasn’t a whole list of other people. That’s not to say Epstein didn’t try and entice others into his world- I’ve no doubt but that he did

    But how to separate those innocent from any wrongdoing doing from people who did partake in what Epstein “offered”- that’s not easy.

    It’s going to take the testimony of the “girls” involved in the first instance -OK, there’s idiot Andy whom no one really cares about- but allegations were made against other public figures including a governor ( now deceased). What has happened to all of these stories and testimonies?

    My point being, Shirley if there is a massive file of documented illegal sexual activity with minors and public or wealthy figures, it would have been outed at this stage. It’s Trumps fault for claiming there was such a file when running for president and he can suck up the grief he’s getting now- but honestly I think Epstein was the main abuser - he collared a few individuals along the way but I don’t think other than Epstein himself, it’s as rampant as the conspiracy theories have made it out to be



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,349 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    It would be ironic if the Big Beautiful Bill bite from the family income was to be the thing which eventually took Trump down after the disquiet of all his other anti-social activities started the wave against him.

    I'm not sure that MAGA will ever go away now as its not only a catchy title but an idea which others can use for their own purposes, same as the quote "you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides." to excuse the worst of MAGA's excesses and smear anyone who had the courage to stand against Trump's personal MAGA.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,349 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    Ref Trump, Epstein and their associated group, this from a Facebook page rings true. "Please remember the Epstein story isn't really about a list. It's about young girls, powerful men and a system that let them get away with it".

    If people are still professing a desire to “make America great again” in a few years from now, it means MAGA has failed- plain and simple - they can’t keep using this saying- it will become a millstone around their neck

    Oh they'll find someone to blame for it. Democrats, Powell, the Crazy Far Left, immigrants. It will always be someone else's fault, never their responsibility.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,576 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Putting aside he lifted that phrase from Regan, when exactly was America great in the first place?

    Ah I know that but really, I’m surprised even at this stage, that it hasn’t become a laughing stock saying - we’ve had it what nearly 10 years now - just how many years more is it going to take? 😀

    Saying that, whilst publicly democrats might criticise the immigration polices now in place, privately these are likely to become the norm, if they get back in albeit with some adjustments - what party wants to reintroduce 1000s of people marching on the border seeking asylum -

    They might realise that they need immigrants to keep the economy running.
