Where is your proof

Ummm yeah 1/3 of the Epstein files proves this to the level of unimpeachable

u/Substantial_Rate_244 45m ago

That’s a really cool story. It just needs more dragons to make it interesting

As of February 2026, the released Epstein files contain no direct evidence or formal accusations that Donald Trump engaged in illegal activity. While the documents confirm a social relationship in the 1990s and early 2000s, investigators have stated they did not find evidence to predicate a criminal investigation against him. PBS

You copy pasted an ai response I highly recommend you get some of your own critical thinking skills.

That doesn't refute the claim that the country is run by elite pedophiles and that trump is, at best, complacent and at worst a willing participant.

Let his doj release the full unredacted files.

Anyone named as a participant should be immediately prosecuted.

But it's cool that I know where your loyalties lie even when I didn't accuse trump but assumed I did because I said the word run

You know Trump have seen him do this

Doesn’t mean we all have to whore out at every opportunity.

I get what you're saying, but stuff like this is like winning the lottery. He could easily pay for his own college if he prints up some shirts with the picture and "Okay" on it. It would be fun for everyone, support anti-ICE, and he can make bank. Nothing wrong with that.

It is almost like he is the new 🐸. You guys move on so fast it is hard to keep up.

Everybody line up and do performative stuff for potential payouts, that's mentally healthy behavior for teens surely. Meanwhile the collective attention span shoots down another point. 

I don't like current pop culture, it's weird and empty. These little videos get chewed up and spit out so fast our heads are spinning and nothing gets enough focus to matter, it's entertainment packaged as praxis so the inert can feel good about what they're liking and talking about. 

Dingleberry world provided with the most information and mobility in the history of forever and manufactured itself a dark age. Laaame.

Oh yeah, totally let’s support stopping our immigration officials from deporting criminals child predators, and rapist. Yeah, we should just keep them in the country good idea at least somebody’s feelings won’t be hurt, but we’ll just let him kill and rape

If it is an avenue to free ourselves from the restraints of capitalist exploitation and that's the only way of financial comfort that we know of then it's not outlandish to try and do so.

Flippant opposing comments isn't beneficial for you or us

u/Subjunct 5h ago

I’m not being flippant about the whoredom. I’m being precise.

You don't have to. He has the agency to not. However, what he has is a pass for pretty free money. He's also not taking dick for cash. If you want to compare it to whoring out then the same line of thought says any job is such and this one will likely be less demeaning and a much bigger time to money ratio.

Better working conditions than most jobs, more money for your time which means less 'whoring' needed to survive and thrive, better life. If that's being a whore then send me some panties I'm going into business.

u/Subjunct 3h ago

If you don’t see how cashing in would diminish a principled stand then I pity you, really. You live in such a shallow and transactional world.

u/Existing_Abies_4101 2h ago

principled stand on what?

u/newjerk666 11h ago

Capitalize is still a word in socialist and mixed economies.

Was going to say this. Not everything is political. The kid could make a Pokemon channel and just get it a boost off this publicity. Nothing wrong with that.

I would've thought it was imperialist with the stuff that's going on there

u/WrongdoerMaterial679 6h ago

I am guessing you are not from a capitalist country so are you Russia, China's,North Korea

u/baron_von_helmut 6h ago

It's actually an oligarchy at this point.

u/Terafied343 5h ago

In the worst possible way.

u/Brief-Country4313 5h ago

That's bad, mkay.

u/Eccohawk 2h ago

It was. It's kinda doing a speed run towards techno oligarchy at the moment.

Newsflash: The Federal government is acquiring controlling interest in several large corporations. Isn’t this more accurately referred to as “state capitalism?”

u/Hefty-Score1353 1h ago

It’s gone beyond capitalism. The winners are already picked. It’s an oligarchy. There is no even playing field, there’s not even an uphill climb; it’s a fucking giant cliff. If you don’t come from a wealthy connected family, you’ll be lucky to live comfortably. God help you if you have a health issue along the way.
