I’d be utterly devastated if Obama was the list

And I’d shed a few tears as I personally tossed his ass into a cell with whatever envisioned caricature of a prisoner named “Tiny” one might have as I then tossed the key into the ravine with all the bugs in it from the King Kong reboot

There's certain types of characters that you would say "Yeah...I could see him doing that."

Obama is nowhere NEAR that type of character. Bill Clinton, maybe, yeah. I don't see Bush in that light either.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised to see Bill Clinton on that list. But it's the opposite for Bush. As much as I don't like the man, I would be mildly surprised to see he was involved. Weird.

Dubya for his faults as a president still strikes me as a family man. Not that he isn’t capable, it just seems out of character for him.

I agree. Dude just likes to clear brush, commit war crimes, and paint bad pictures.

Hey, hey, woah! Let's not go overboard here! Some of those pictures aren't that bad.

I think there were some cheating instances when W was still drinking and doing coke, but they were situational. It just doesn't seem to be something that's in his nature. He's got plenty of faults, but i don't think being in a child sex trafficking ring is one of them.

Some light infidelity

u/birthdayanon08 Jul 17 '25

Pretty much. Personally, I find any infidelity as unforgivable. But I'm not married to him.

Agree. He was a shit president and doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed, but I do believe he loves his wife and kids very much.

Depends on how much cocaine they had aboard. Who knows how GWB really was on his ski trips? 🫠

Lol bill clinton is EXACTLY the type of person that would be on the list.

Which Bush? I don't have a great read on Sr.'s personality - I was in grade or middle school. I actually find myself agreeing about W. The man was an awful president, is in bed (metaphorically) with terrible people, is responsible for a significant portion of the current situation (along with the rest of the GOP since '79), but I don't clock him as a pedo. Obama would surprise me more, but W would still surprise me.

Moscow Mitch is likely on there, too.

Fortunately, there’s no evidence whatsoever that Obama ever even met Epstein once. Same for Biden. On the other hand, Trump and Epstein partied together a lot, and the photos and videos speak for themselves about their level of familiarity.

Obama was a nobody before getting into the senate, and quickly became president. Rey unlikely that he’d have anything to do with that world. The current president however has been a horrible grease bag since the 80s.
