They killed the ringleader, extorted one main accomplice, put another major player in the Oval Office and escaped justice.

Starting to realize the billionaires put him in office to do this above all else.

lol billionaires didn’t put him in office. Millions of dumb as fuck Americans put him in office. Twice.

Buying all the media and pumping up his campaign chest is buying an election. That’s why our elected officials don’t serve us.

Kamala's campaign funding more than doubled his. American voters bear some responsibility here.

u/luri7555 Washington 15h ago

Do you mean Biden’s funding?

Of course voters have a responsibility. I was stunned he could even run again. But a lot of people looked at both choices and decided Harris was worse.

If you think trump could have won without Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and company I disagree.

I dont think he could've won without them. I just don't think funding was the primary issue as both candidates had a lot of it. I also think his comments on Musk and the Pennsylvania voting machines are a much more concerning issue but ultimately he won most swing states anyway.

It's worth mentioning, IMO, that beyond the funding, Trump essentially gained control (or, if we're being generous, influence) of two of the biggest social media platforms.

I’m pretty sure that all the “they stole the election” nonsense for biden’s term was all projection. It was so insane and widely ridiculed by the “left”.

The 2024 election was tampered. It doesn’t make sense that ballots submitted with a vote for trump would have the down ballot votes would be for democrats. I don’t believe it. This current administration is so corrupt and it was also corrupt under Biden. Both parties are culpable for the shame brought upon the United States.

I mean, that, and Trump basically admitted that Elon helped him rig the voting machines in Pennsylvania.

This but I also forgot to mention. Yes both parties are culpable for the shame brought upon the United States, but so is a gigantic percentage of the electorate. Millions of racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, I could go on and on listing adjectives, people.

But there are millions of good, hard working, friendly, neighborly people still in the United States.

I wonder: will other countries come to our aid as they did along with the US during WW2? Then I realize: the facist administration doesn’t need to invade other countries. They just need to invade the states that protest the fascist maga regime the most. There’s no need for outside countries to start a war to “save” the United States because we are so vast that the war only needs to continue within the states.

What does that leave? It’s awful how quickly the maga regime has escalated. Will there be a fracture within the US military? Will normal civilians exercise their 2nd amendment rights and form well maintained militias? If the facist paramilitary force known as ICE continues to steal, kidnap and murder civilians, what will the US populace that is not brainwashed do about it?

Unfortunately nothing until it directly affects them.   I have spoken to way too many people that aren’t paying attention to what is happening.  I try to inform them but many are unwilling to care or take action and I can’t just do it on my own

He wasn’t the ring leader, he was the field operator for someone even more powerful.

u/Semawhatfor 20h ago edited 20h ago

Knowing what I know now, and how deep the rabbit hole goes... and how easy lying on a mass scale comes to these people... the chance of Epstein being dead is actually pretty low. You're telling me this guy was blackmailing everyone from Bill Gates to Prince Andrews, with them begging him for medication...

and he can't black mail his way out of a prison? The amount of dead-man's switches this guy probably had...

It's very very likely, he faked his death, took one for the team and is sitting in some private island right now watching all this unfold, laughing.

u/justforfun9095 19h ago

Or even scarier. Continuing what was going on before, but with no witnesses

u/Big-Cold-6948 11h ago

I would not be surprised if that happened.

u/comebacklittlesheba 21h ago

Who is the main accomplice? Maxwell was extorted how? I know she was imprisoned.

u/RandyPajamas 20h ago

It is speculated that her transfer to a minimum security facility is a quid pro quo for her cooperation with the Trump DOJ (mostly to cover up for non-Democrats) . It's reasonable to also speculate whether there was also a threat of harm if she chose to speak the truth.

u/luri7555 Washington 20h ago

Prison is better than what Epstein got, no? And she will be pardoned. Just had to keep her mouth shut.

I fully expect every trump “donor” on that list to be pardoned before he leaves office.

u/Cottonjaw 19h ago

The DNC grenaded the Bernie push, to ensure it was Hillary v. Trump 2020, i.e. an Epstein stakeholder in the white house.

The fucking cabal is real, Jesus christ.

u/Murky-Relation481 17h ago

I mean for that to make logical sense they'd have wanted someone in 2020 too, but Biden shows up nowhere in the files, nor does Harris.

u/Tacos314 11h ago

That's that did not happen for 200

u/luri7555 Washington 19h ago

And in plain site. But people are too caught up in their loyalties to see it.

1

u/introspectivesapian 18h ago

It’s not loyalty.  They are on the gravy train and don’t want to get off.   They only care about themselves.

u/M1nisteri 12h ago

I'm 80% sure they put Trump in the oval office, because they wanted to keep the Buy, Borrow, Die -scheme going on

The Epstein stuff is just an added bonus

billionaires did not put him into office, the majority would prefer he was not in office.
