      The bottom ones are hyperbole. I’m sure a drag queen is mentioned somewhere, but the top ones are probably just taken from the search tool directly

        The bottom ones are not hyperbolae, they are “found evidence in the files released.” With the current administration it’s likely safe to assume if a transperson or drag queen were in them they would’ve been unredacted and released as early as possible to distract from the rest of it, let alone all the people also combing what was released.

    Literally incorrect. The were some chasers salivating over trans woman in those emails. I.e. it is worse.

          Poor pedos don’t blackmail powerful people into getting out of jail, so the justice system is usually enough in those cases.

            I’m sorry, but that’s naive. There are some pedos that are only in it for themselves, and only present a danger to the children within arms reach, but there are many more who are selling their own children as well as the children of others and are actively involved in trades/sales with other pedos, as well as being involved with and protected by various forms of organized crime in their own areas.

            There are pedos who adopt for the purpose of selling (prostituting) the child, for example, and even more who operate out of group homes. There are also subcategories of pedos: for example, you have pedos that want Alice-in-Wonderland lookalikes and you have sadist pedos that want to be able to punch and cut while they rape. For every adult kink, there is a pedo kink, and more.

            The lone pedo doing it in the home for his own gratification is just the tip of the iceberg, but many more operate in groups and they’d very much like for you to carry on believing that they do not exist. This is trafficking. It happens everywhere. It is not rare.

            What being rich does for pedos like Epstein and Trump, the local group does for the “poor” pedos, but it’s the exact same thing.

            And the justice system doesn’t do jack shit.

          Pedophiles? Victims or people in need of treatment. Pedocriminals? Perpetrators, and society needs to be protected from them, but still in need of treatment.

    It is the characteristic of privilege and of every privileged position to kill the heart and mind of men. The privileged man, whether politically or economically, is a man depraved in mind and heart. That is a social law which admits no exception, and is as applicable to entire nations as to classes, corporations and individuals.

    To be fair Epstein did talk about forcing transition on young boys and raising them as sex slaves. And he was 100% a chaser which came up many times. But trans people were never mentioned as perpetrators of abuse only as victims.

      Yup, the “democrats are forcibly transitioning your kids” conspiracy theories that conservatives parrot has 100% been coming from the fact that the billionaires wanted to do exactly that. They wanted to forcibly transition children to keep as sex slaves.

      There are multiple documents in the files confirming this… They even go on to justify it by saying that they’d be doing the children a service, because it would allow them to make more money as prostitutes or porn stars after they’re too old for Epstein’s clients.

      There’s a weird branch of conservatism that is really into forced feminization as a kink. That’s why trans women are vilified, but femboys are somehow okay with many conservatives. To the conservatives who are into forced feminization, the femboy is just playing into that kink, and they can tell themselves that it’s forced. They don’t see it as gay, (which would be wrong, as conservatives hate the evil gays), because it’s forcing someone to be feminine instead. But trans women take it too far for those conservatives, because it removes the “I’m forcing them to do this by being more masculine” power dynamic that they enjoy with forced feminization. With trans women, it’s very clearly something that they’re doing to themselves, not something that is being forced upon them.

      But with the billionaires, that latter part isn’t a problem. They literally could force kids to be trans. So it just plays even harder into the forced feminization kink that so many conservatives have… It’s the natural end stage of the kink for them. Trans girls don’t break their illusion of power, because the power is not an illusion when you’re that rich.

        Holy shit, you put into words what I’ve been feeling but haven’t quite been able to put my finger on, like something hiding in the periphery even if you try to look at it.

        I’m simultaneously relieved to finally have it out in the open, and disgusted to see it written so plainly. All these people should go Mario Kart with Luigi.

    What information do we have on Thiel and Epstein, like he partied with him, did he exchange texts that weren’t completely redacted?

    What pisses me off is we haven’t heard any of the incriminating anything, and it’s because the Justice Department redacted it all. Can we not sue the administration to get an independent monitor to decide what to release? What about if we got Congress to give the entire thing to a specific group to decide what to release?

    Other than that, we need to work with the victim groups, and put investigators and authors at their disposal, to be able to run down leads on their memories, and do our own investigations to get to the bottom of what we can.

    Right but those thousands of Trump mentions were Epstein himself saying “why won’t Mr. Trump answer my invitations to the island?” and brainstorming with Elon Musk “how can we get Mr. Trump to come visit the island?” /s

    According to the Google, and I’m not going to search further despite knowing it’s unreliable, the number for Bill Clinton is about 50 times. Just because the OP didn’t mention him, and also because that’s rookie numbers. Even when you include Trump sucking Bubba’s dick.

      Actually… :/ there are a lot of ties to 4chan in them. m00t I guess had a meeting with Epstein. Ghislaine was also often on /pol, there’s also suspicion that she was a mod. The word “pizza” is constantly used in the files, and it seems obvious that it was a code for something. And I’ve even heard theories that Q was actually Epstein.

    This is wrong. Epstein had an email discussing MTF porn and noting the lack of FTM porn out there and considers grooming young boys to be transition to become a new product category for him.

    This is not a joke, by the way.
