(7,762 posts)it's beginning to look pretty real.
NOT that the Trump/Epstein news is any surprise to me. I've seen the photos and videos of the two being quite chummy.
And there's that person who claimed Trump raped her at age 13 (if I recall), but who's since disappeared.
yes donald trump was accused of raping a 13 year old
So, no surprise there.
(Though I'd suspect MAGA would no doubt give Trump a free pass, regardless. They'll whip out some 'to forgive is divine' bs.)

Elon has a motive now to reveal the truth, but X is domiciled in the US--Drumpf could still stop him if he publishes the info...

(3,637 posts)There are reports that Anonymous is doing a big "countdown" to a major "release", set to drop right at the beginning of July.
If that's related to the Epstein files (ie: perhaps Anonymous got ahold of them in uncensored form), then maybe that's an element that might be playing out behind the scenes here (???).
I honestly have no idea what to believe yet, but something is definitely going on.
Hell, maybe giving "God-level" access to DOGE ended up giving the DOGE-hackers access to all this info on Trump, too (???).
So many possiblities ...

(17,540 posts)The God - level DOGE access - Anonymous Drop and much more.
I think as much as I am humored by all this - its also terrifying to know that one has the nuclear codes and the other data and info and satellites.
I also think that Elon is paranoid enough and has so much security that he knows to have built a failsafe and even to have let Trump know that if something happens to him - everything gets released.

The Epstein-Barr Problem of New York Citys Dalton School
JERRY LAMBE
July 13th, 2019, 10:50 am
Excerpt...
Epstein, who was charged last week by federal authorities in the Southern District of New York with sex trafficking with sex-trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex-trafficking, was a 20 year old college drop-out when he was hired to teach at Dalton by the schools headmaster Donald Barr in the mid 1970s. Donald Barr was the father of current United States Attorney General William Barr, who is currently overseeing Epsteins prosecution.
According to at least one former student, Dalton alums have long joked about Barrs hiring of Epstein..
The joke has been [that] this is the Epstein-Barr problem at Dalton, said Harry Segal, a 1974 graduate who is now a senior lecturer at Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medical College, in an interview with the Huffington Post. Epstein-Barr is a type of herpes virus best known as the cause of infectious mononucleosis.
Scott Spizer, who graduated in 1976, said that Epstein was most remembered for his persistent attention on teenage girls in the hallways, recalled a night when the young educator showed up at a party where Dalton students were drinking.
I can remember thinking at the time, This is wrong, Spizer said in an interview with the New York Times.

Elon and I had a great relationship, the president said, referring to his former DOGE chief and campaign donor. I dont know if we will anymore.
Just a few days ago, Trump and Musk were pals. The president sang the praises of his megadonor and handed the billionaire a golden key emblazoned with the White House insignia.

A lot can happen in a few days. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/elon-musk-trump-derangement-syndrome-rcna211232
Elon was wearing thin, I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY! The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elons Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didnt do it!
It was, to be sure, a serious escalation. NBC News reported, Various estimates have been put forward on just how much Musks firms, primarily SpaceX and Tesla, benefit from U.S. government contracts and subsidies. The Washington Post has put the figure at $38 billion, with SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell estimating that company alone benefits from about $22 billion in federal spending. Reuters has reported that the true figure is classified due to the nature of many of the contracts Musks firms are under.
Less than an hour later, the GOP megadonor responded with a remarkable rhetorical volley. Time to drop the really big bomb: [Trump] is in the Epstein files, Musk wrote on his own platform, X. That is the real reason they have not been made public." Referencing the president's initials, he added, "Have a nice day, DJT!.....
That paved the way for the pièce de résistance: the president suggesting that his former DOGE chief is suffering from Trump derangement syndrome.

Maybe she has some hidden ace up her sleeve that guarantees that she will not end up like John Mitchell. I fervently hope that she does not. Compared to her, William Barr was a choir boy.
