    Remember when Trump raped a 13 year old girl and then settled out of court, then a few years later he said that people who settle out of court are obviously guilty?

      Everything Trump says has a little asterisk above it which is “*except when I do it” - except he probably doesn’t know about asterisks. They’re pretty complicated.

          One time an asterisk came up to Trump, big asterisk, strong asterisk, tears streaming down its typeface and it said “Mr Trump, no president has ever been treated as poorly as you*”.

                lemmy.world is a big instance and a lot of the Redditors from the initial migration landed here. But the great thing about Lemmy & the Fediverse is that you don’t have to stick with only one instance. I personally have accounts on lemmy.ml (where I landed after the migration) and beehaw.org (I joined in the early days and fell in love with their community & philosophies). I usually just browse “All” through the Voyager app though, so I can see posts from instances across Lemmy.

                Using Lemmy / the Fediverse requires a different mindset than Reddit and other monolith websites: you’re given a lot more power to choose how to engage with the community at large and the Reddit hive mind isn’t nearly as effective. There’s still going to be circlejerks and brigades and all kinds of shenanigans that come with forums, but don’t take the voting system too seriously and you’ll have a much better time.

        In the newly unsealed documents, Ms Ransome testified that her unnamed friend “was one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump” – including at Epstein’s New York townhouse.

        She then described in graphic detail how Mr Trump allegedly caused pain to the victim’s nipples – and claimed she saw the resulting injury firsthand.

              And there’s the admission of definite Kompromat on everyone that ever had sex around Epstein.

    2020 - S05E08 - Don and Jeff’s Excellent Adventure

    Graphic details about Donald Trump’s alleged “sexual proclivities” have emerged in the latest round of court documents containing details of late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s associates. The new documents contain “incendiary claims” about the former president, including accusations that he had sexual relations with “many girls”, made by one of Epstein’s alleged victims, Sarah Ransome. Mr Trump’s name has appeared a handful of times previously in the documents and, while not accusing him of wrongdoing, appears to illustrate the good relationship he had with the disgraced financier. In the newly unsealed documents, Ms Ransome testified that her unnamed friend “was one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump” – including at Epstein’s New York townhouse. - TV-MA, 61 mins

    Ransome was another imperfect witness. In the fall of 2016, she had suggested to the New York Post that she had sex tapes of half a dozen prominent people, including Bill Clinton and Donald Trump—but couldn’t provide the tapes when asked. (Ransome told me that she had invented the tapes to draw attention to Epstein’s behavior, and to make him believe that she had “evidence that would come out if he harmed me.”)

      If something like that happened he was probably tricked into being filmed cheering on hookers defiling a bed the Obamas slept in. Very common KGB tactic to hire hookers to lead on powerful people until they do something they don’t want public. Doubt he actually has a pee fetish.

      There’s a lot more evidence he wanted to or actually did have sex with underage girls.

            He wants to have sex with his daughter. He had Stormy smack his ass with that copy of Forbes with himself and Ivanka (and Eric) on the cover.

            And here are just a sampling of quotes, of which all are Trump but the last one.

            If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her

            She has the ‘best body’ — and I created her

            Yeah, she’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father…

            Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife?

            Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led [former Chief of Staff] John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter

        What I’m alleging is it seems more than a slight coincidence that Trump hooks up with one of Epstein’s victims. That it seems like the sort of thing that journalists and investigative reporters should be taking a look at for obvious reasons. Like when did she first meet Trump, who introduced her, was she working for a “modelling agency”, when and where she met Trump, how she was present at these events, who paid for her accommodation / lifestyle etc.

          And now that it happens. . .it’s suspicious because it confirms what we already knew what to be true?

              This is far from the optimal time to release this is you’re trying to hurt trumps chance of winning the wh. Additionally, trump is a huge supporter of Israel, he even moved our embassy to Jerusalem to show it despite the diplomatic fall out of doing so. There’s no reason to believe he wouldn’t be doing the same exact thing as Biden.

              Trump is the elite scum we all hate, not separate from it.
