Everything about this is just so... ewwww. Remember, Epstein didn't actually say any of those things. It's a conversation from Trump's brain. I feel like even Epstein would have been like, "bro wtf, why are you putting this to paper"

*edit: I kinda feel like I don't believe Trump ever knew what the word 'enigma' means. But he was a lot more mentally capable back then.

Well Epstein liked it enough to keep it.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 8 points 11 months ago

It was valuable blackmail.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 7 points 11 months ago

Epstein was a child rapist and sex trafficker. He enjoyed offering high school girls (sometimes middle school), then slowly pressuring them into creepy then more sexual acts. This is what he enjoyed doing, it wasn't just business

He was also best friends with Trump. I just think they were both on similar levels of creepy. I mean look up Trump with Howard Stern for an example of how he spoke to people They probably thought it was clever

And Trump knows the word enigma, he doesn't know words like grocery. It's like the word "sigma"... It's another Greek word that most educated people know, but in certain subcultures it's everywhere

It's important to remember... They're not like us

I’ll bet a dollar Ghislaine wrote this.

Donald is basically illiterate. I’m sure she said “hey Donald, want to write a letter to Jeff for his 50th?” He said “nah, write something for me and let me peruse it.” She did and gave it to him. He was about to sign it and said “hey, this kinda looks like a girl” and did his doodle.

Donald is too narcissistic to really be able to articulate another person’s point of view. And illiterate. I think Ghislaine saw herself as the narrator. And since she was so involved in the abuse, she knew all the wink-wink stuff going on.

Plus Donald is a subtle as a freight train. Ghislaine can keep a secret or two, apparently.

Also, it’s typed. When Clinton’s is hand-written.

It doesn't matter who wrote it: Trump signed it. That makes it his.

You know the first thing that went through my mind?

Either Trump is shit at doodling women, or those tiny high-set tits are meant to evoke a younger - MUCH younger - female body.

I'll be generous and I'll go for #1 though, because he also seems to be unable to draw women with arms...

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

At this point, after everything else, why do we still give him the benefit of the doubt?

These assumptions about the appearance of a woman's body are troubling.

The only way you know this is real is how fucking cringe it is.

It is really sickening because he drew a 13 year old girl. A normal guy would have drawn big playboy women boobs, not little girl boobs.

Everyone in the media and politics who saw Trump's picture knows that Trump is a pedo, but nobody is allowed to say it out loud. We have an 'emperor has no clothes' situation' playing out nationally now. That's how weird things are.

[–] 0ndead@infosec.pub 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cool. Where’s the real files at?

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 11 months ago

Define real files. Is their existence falsifiable & non-mythical?

[–] GoddessGundy@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

My guilty pleasure show is Criminal Minds.

There's an episode where two serial killers meet when one moves into the neighborhood. The "Team" finds their online correspondence and it sounds exactly like this.

Not like the show is very accurate to begin with but it's pretty creepy with the similarities in this case.

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

"Dazed and Confused" (1993)

Sign 'em with a pussy!

Welp.

I hope upcoming President Vance was pro-Russia only because his boss was Putin's bitch, and that he will be better than Trump in that front.

My hopes are not extremely high about that.

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.earth 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Vance's stance on Russia is less important IMO than his stance on Americans.

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well of course if you live in USA. I live next to Russia and therefore prioritize these things quite a lot higher.

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.earth 1 points 11 months ago

Got me there.

[–] Lightcrater@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Not even well drawn :(
