    I know little enough about Mark Epstein but from his recent utterances, I feel that he might just be at the same crack as his brother (not the paedo stuff) - the playing the geopolitics God.

    He appears to be trying to make himself relevant by dropping titbits.

    He better be careful he does not suffer the same fate as brother

    Indeed.I can see a foreign leader doing this for Trump as an unasked for and unaccountable "favour".(but I expect he would realize this and may have taken precautions)

    I see Trump as more vicious than Putin but with a different hand to play.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,596 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    The Senate just passed the Epstein bill by unanimous consent.

    The bill will automatically pass once it's delivered to the Senate and will then advance to Trump's desk for him to sign.

    Over to you, Paedo President!

    What are the odds on how much will be removed or redacted ?

    I can see them leave a few dead people in it to make it seem fair, but the majority of people in the files will be those that Trump either hates personally or are Democrats/have ties to the Democrats.

    With the majority vote in the House he cannot veto it so his only option now to stop it being made public is an ongoing investigation that he personally instigated.

    If he goes down that route I cannot see it going down well with some factions in MAGA.

    The cult he has created is astonishing, he's one of the most obvious grifters, con men to have walked this earth, has told countless proved lies, is a sex offender who is on tape boasting about it, a failed buisness man, has insulted his own military, is a draft doger, called fallen soldiers suckers…the list goes on and on yet none of it matters.

    His own actions as a president actively hurt his base yet the love him, the worse off they become the more adulation he gets.

    I don't think he himself knows how he's managed to create the cult of Trump, he's not smart enough to know.

    I really don't think this is going to reveal anything that will take him down. Happy to be proved wrong.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,365 ✭✭✭✭Leroy42


    Maybe not. But he damn sure is acting like a man that is very worried about it.

    Trump dosent hate the dems he's playing to an audience that like to hear it, Americans are to stupid to realise this.

    What ever files get released it will never be accepted as accurate under this most corrupt administration.

    This is part 2 the first under same president had epstein killed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,757 ✭✭✭Lewis_Benson

    Disgusting treatment of journalist at the White house yesterday needs to be called out internationally

    Schumer: We’ve got to make sure we get all of the Epstein files. All of them. They can’t **** around with this. They can’t say, “Oh, we’ll give you this, but there are legal reasons we can’t give you that.”

    We are going to be pursuing them relentlessly to get everything, because I don’t trust this administration. I don’t trust Bondi. I don’t trust Kash Patel. I don’t trust the president. It’ll be all of our jobs to stay on them.

    Looks like Schumer has grown a set of balls!

    I know Trump calling Catherine Lucey piggy got a lot of attention, and rightly so. He's a ****ing prick for saying that to her.

    What might have been missed was him calling Mary Bruce "insubordinate" yesterday when she asked him a question in front of MBS.

    "Insubordinate"???? She doesn't f**king work for him!

    Clearly though, that's how he sees it.

    In his eyes, the Courts, the House, the Senate and the press all work for him. Tell me how this guy isn't a wannabe dictator.

    Pretty much the only honest thing Trump said was how dishonest and conruot the US polical system had become. He referenced draining the swamp but failed to clarify he would drain it into his own pocket. Its a system that allows Bezos Zuckerberg and Musk to accumulate obscene wealth. A system that allows awful people like the Clinton's to accumulate hundreds of millions of dollars. A system allowing thr unjust and total military destruction of countries like Afghanistan and Iraq. A country that allows a small minority group such massive influence.

    Allegedly lobbyists spend 4 billion a year influencing decision making in Washington.

    We can see it in irish politics now with the advent of NGO group and massive funnel.for.tax payers money and a feeding frenzy for the family and friends of FFFG and a reason a lot so quickly exist politics now.

    Lobby groups

    particularly well-funded ones

    compromise democracy in the US by:

    ​Buying Access and Influence: They use substantial financial resources

    including campaign contributions

    to gain preferential access to and influence over elected officials.

    ​Creating Conflicts of Interest: This financial support can lead to conflicts of interest where politicians prioritize donor interests over the broader public good.

    ​Distorting Policy: Their focused advocacy and provision of specialized

    often one-sided

    information can skew policy and regulation to favor special interests.

    ​Exacerbating Inequality: The disparity in resources means wealthier groups drown out the voices and needs of average citizens

    undermining the principle of "one person

    one vote."

    I was watching Kimmel this morning, and the amount of abuse trump gives to an ABC reporter, for asking some excellent questions, is disgusting. it's worth a watch.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 23,937 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    Why do these weasely little fuckers like Mike Johnson always give press conference with a group of people standing unblinkingly behind them.

    Its so cringe

    Ban billionaires

    In some respects this isn’t all bad - we now know, given it’s happened so much , that there’s a direct correlation between a question asked by a reporter and the level of abuse in Trump’s response - the greater the abuse, the more we know that reporters question was bang on the money.

    "bang on the money" such an appropriate phrase



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,245 ✭✭✭Field east


    I wonder if Trump’s behaviour - especially his outlandish comments- is part of a strategy to deflect from the real agenda or / and at least to minimalist itA’s exposure to the press/public. That agenda is the one espoused by mainly Steve Millar - that 2025 agenda



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,707 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    Just reading this article about Clay Higgins who voted against the release. Has also faced domestic abuse accusations. Apparently has somewhat of a reputation.

    Sickening how Trump is abusing the position of U.S President by welcoming dictators and tyrants like V. Orban and MBS with open arms and treats "Allies" like dictators and tyrants would be treated by all other democratic world leaders…

    "insisting the kingdom’s de facto ruler “knew nothing” about the murder" MBS bl**y well ordered the execution!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,278 ✭✭✭fish fingers


    Jesus, im reading that here in work shaking my head. That country is really fcuked up, the part where he was asleep and he was "assaulted" by his relative, like WTF???? I really am in disbelief.

    "A system that allows awful people like the Clinton's to accumulate hundreds of millions of dollars. A system allowing thr unjust and total military destruction of countries like Afghanistan and Iraq."

    The Clinton's are not or never were awful people. Compared to Trump.

    I also do not believe that America carried out total military destruction of either countries. They got rid of a dictator in one who was killing his own people and tried to give people a better more open society in the other. Which it was for a while.

    In fact while Iraq is not perfect now and what country is its a lot better now than when Saddam was in control. Afghanistan too was in a much better place with America in control it was only when the American troops were pulled out by Trump that Afghanistan fell apart again and became the backwards place it now is again, set back 30 years just like that. Very sad.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,757 ✭✭✭Lewis_Benson


    It's time.

    Get the unredacted file made public.

    Arrest EVERYONE named in the files, start investigating who was complicit and who actually abused kids.

    Imprison.

    I dont care if Clinton etc is in there, name them all, punish them all.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,270 ✭✭✭EltonJohn69


    trump is filled with hate, he hates anyone who is a threat to his fragile ego, it’s the fundamental characteristic of his personality.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,270 ✭✭✭EltonJohn69


    as his dementia progresses his malignant narcissism is going to be become more pronounced. His is going to lash out a lot over the next few months.

    Releasing the files probably makes any future prosecution impossible. At this point it probably doesn't matter as the individuals were never likely to be prosecuted anyway.
