Some have demanded that Trump fire attorney general Pam Bondi, who had earlier said client list was sitting on her desk
Rightwing influencers in the US who are often aligned with Donald Trump are angry that a joint justice department and FBI memo has dismissed the existence of a “client list” in the case against late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The disgraced financier killed himself in a jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City in 2019 while awaiting prosecution on child sex-trafficking and conspiracy charges.
Almost ever since, Epstein’s death has been the subject of conspiracy theories on the right, including a supposed “client list” that he purportedly used to blackmail wealthy co-conspirators.
I absolutely love that this is breaking the minds of some trump supporters. Maybe it will open their eyes to the reality of how bad and corrupt Trump is. But also I give it till the weekend before most if not all fall back in line with whatever theory Fox News, Joe Rogan, or newsmax say to switch the narrative.
I want the list leaked. Every single name exposed. And everyone from anywhere who's there needs to be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest.
Even if there wasn't an OPSEC failure like a list. There was video. Feed that shit into an AI. Let it scrape for faces and redact everything else. Nobody needs to watch thousands of hours of CP looking for who did what. Investigate. Prosecute. Execute publicly. Make it a spectacle. Let the surviving victims who want to do so smash their heads with sledge hammers.
was happy when I checked r/conservative yesterday (I know I shouldn't check). and practically all the comments were about how they were disappointed, or actually starting to understand that Trump is in the list or protecting his buddies.
However, when I checked today, lots of top comments were peddling a conspiracy theory about how Trump is under threat of the deep state, and if he releases it he and his family will get murdered. There had to be some AstroTurfing injecting conspiracy theories.
it's distopian seeing the propaganda machinery turn on.
seeing reactionaries having a day to think for themselves, then come to their own ideas and... nope, they just turn on the propaganda machinery, no independent thought.
Anyone who is willing to consider the idea that their Dear Leader isn't the perfect reincarnation of Christ gets banned from there so the mods must have had a field day with that one.
This is the most incompetent cover up of all time.
There is a mountain of evidence, and indeed literal legal rulings pointing toward Trump being a serial rapist, that he'd walk in on 15 yo girls in the changing rooms for Miss America paegants, that he was very good friends with Epstein for over a decade...
The first time him and Melania had sex was on the Lolita Express, on Epstein's jet.
Trump is so fucking extremely obviously in the Epstein files that, after this, this fucking farce of 180 about face, I am now inclined to believe that Trump is the one who ordered Epstein be killed.
They know they are getting away with it and there isn't a fucking thing anyone can do to stop it. None of his followers are going to stop worshipping him as a result.
But that does also kind of loop back into being an incompetent cover up... if one assumes the concept of a cover up is to actually make the entire issue just go away.
And... I do actually disagree that none of the magats will snap out of it.
Its actually causing quite a lot of chaos and anger.
Will all of them suddenly realize they've been duped, and then magically become better people?
No.
But ... this whole Epstein thing, its a pretty big fucking deal to a lot of the people that got on board with Trump largely due to QAnonsense conspiracy theories...
Its now actually breaking the cognitive dissonance of a lot of them, who've been waiting for Trump to finally rout the Deep State of pedos... who are now either realizing that Trump just is another powerful pedo, or at least covering up on their behalf.
Almost ever since, Epstein’s death has been the subject of conspiracy theories on the right, including a supposed “client list” that he purportedly used to blackmail wealthy co-conspirators.
On the right? I think that it’s at the whole spectrum, the differences are who are believed to be on the list.
Doesn't surprise me that the guardian wrote this. They always seem to be a bit out of touch with reality and supposedly they're left leaning newspaper as well, but I don't think they've caught up with current affairs just yet.
Ironically, Trump has no red meat to feed his Qnut leopards. Even if Bondi ends up taking the fall for the great big Epstein nothing-burger, at best that just kicks the can down the road. These folks want Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and so on in jail real bad, and at this rate it looks like they're not going to get it.
These magats are so firmly entrenched in their cult that there is nothing one can say to them. I have taken to replying “meow” to the most egregious offenders. It’s fun and it confuses them immensely.
