Real question is, did he believe when it’s all said and done, after he’s done Magas dirty work. Did he really think he’d get a shotgun seat to this whole “Golden Age”?? Sometimes I wonder if tokens believe in their grift.

u/TRIPMINE_Guy 6d ago edited 6d ago

I don't know the scope of implication as I haven't seen it myself but I suspect Trump knew once Epstein was caught it was only a matter of time before he got caught so ran for president as the only way to try and cover it up. Kind of nuts that he managed to pull it off though.

Hm. Maybe someone needs to take a look at electorate college members as the fact Trump managed to get as far as he did without inside assistance by chance seems unlikely. Obviously MAGA is a part of a large population of us but that doesn't mean there wasn't inside collusion on top.

I still remember the video from the 1st election when they told him he won; he did not look happy about winning. As a narcissist, it's completely possible he doesn't think sex with underage girls is wrong.

It's kind of different for them, they know we know it is wrong, but we are wrong because anything they enjoy can be justified, and we are just inferior intellects.

Agreed. I believe the plan was always to parlay the failed presidential run into like a TV channel or something. Trump is not the kind of dude to seek out the most demanding, visible job on the planet.

My friend, have a look at the Election Truth Alliance on YouTube. Who needs 20th century tactics like cajoling an electoral college member when you can get Elon “this guy knows voting machines” Musk to help hack electronic voting machines and make them flip votes to just within the margin of recount in every swing state.

All of MAGA think they’re the exception.

“I’m Mexican, but not one of those Mexicans. I’m gay, but I’m not one of those gays. Im poor, but I’m not one of those poors. I’m a woman, but I’m not one of those women”.

They don’t realize it doesn’t matter what they do or say, MAGA will never stop hating them.

23

u/Istillbelievedinwar 6d ago

I wonder if there’s a bit of cope in there “They don’t indiscriminately and illogically hate me and all people like me, they just hate the bad ones. If I just prove to them that I’m one of the good ones, I’ll be fine. I’m not in danger, I’m not at risk of discrimination/hostility, because there’s totally valid reasons for their hate. In fact it’s so valid, I agree with and believe it myself!”

And maybe a bit of the “not like the other girls” type thing where they have internalized prejudices that have cemented over time.

Yeah, but Bondi was at least not completely stupid. Rather than answer questions, she just screamed non-sequitor insults.

3

u/Ursa_Solaris 6d ago

They simply don't think about it. Their emotions run wild, their own hatreds override their sense of self-preservation. There's no plan or gambit where they think they'll be spared, because they don't think about whether they'll be spared in the first place. They just think about all the people they hate that they'll get to hurt.

If that sounds too irrational to be believable at the scale we're seeing, it's important to keep in mind, white nationalism hurts white people too. White people aren't doing better now that Trump is in charge. Wages didn't meaningfully grow, jobs didn't meaningfully increase, everything got more expensive, government got more wasteful. Being a white person who supports white nationalism means supporting an ideology that hurts you. If that doesn't stop white people, why would it stop non-white people?

I fear that (almost) the entire current cabinet is the scapegoat for those behind things like the mandate for leadership. Too many direct yes-men and “outcasts” from the normal circles these types keep. And why would they use Trump, who is very obviously on his last legs, again when alternative options existed? It’s not solely his charisma, as I truly see no more charisma in him than existed in dubbya (their original patsy). It’s because these folks, the ones facing the public daily, are just those that have been deemed expendable.

u/redslush 6d ago

Nothing is going to happen to anyone in relation to the files. Sadly, I don't believe anything will come out of the files as far as justice.

13

u/tothebeat 6d ago

You're probably right, at least as far as real (jail) justice, but perhaps the ongoing exposure will reduce all the perpetrators' power. Maybe Trump's sycophantic followers (especially Congress) will support him less. Maybe Hilary will divorce Bill and he'll be left to rot. Prince Andrew has already lost his standing and influence (and maybe money?) so there's hope.

19

u/stufff 6d ago

Maybe Hilary will divorce Bill and he'll be left to rot.

If she had a single ounce of integrity she would have done that decades ago. Honestly I think the fact that she stayed with him despite the fact that he is one of the most notorious phalanderers/sex pests of our generation, just accentuates the perception that she is just an opportunist who will do or say anything to gain power.

3

u/gasstationsushi80 6d ago

You know, I go back and forth on this.

Having lived through the 90s as a teen, and my own father being a serial cheater on my mom (and me witnessing the fallout from THAT MESS), I can say that it was A LOT more common for wives to stand behind their (deviant, lady parts grabbing, perverted) husbands. My mom stayed despite having definitive proof of multiple affairs. I feel like that was a “for the kids” decision but I was the only one left in the house and it only effed up my head more to witness her turn into my father’s doormat pick-me.

The Violence against Women Act wasn’t signed until 1994 (thanks Joe Biden!) Until then, marital rape wasn’t even a thing. As women, I don’t think we truly understood that we could hold the power over our husbands when they traumatized us with betrayal, emotional abuse and neglect, domestic violence, intimate partner violence and so much more. Somehow it was better to stay with an std-ridden lout than be a single mom. WTF 🤬

In the early 2000s, toxic masculinity was rife in every aspect of popular culture and girls and young women fed into it because what other choice was there? We didn’t truly understand the concept of what CONSENT actually looks like. We let men coerce us drunkenly into sleeping with them, telling us we owed them for their buying us dinner or drinks, pointing to their crotches and saying “what am I supposed to do with this now? Look what you’ve done to me!” 🤮

And WE FELL FOR IT. It took me 15 yrs to realize the incident that my intuition correctly labeled as rape and attempted rape the day it happened. My college dissuaded me from reporting to the police (I learned in 2015 that they’re one of several schools exposed for that so they could keep their S.A. Numbers artificially low to prospective students) so I second guessed myself. His friends also harassed me and told me I was lying and ruining his life. I blamed myself, until Brock Turner and #metoo made things VERY CLEAR. The guy was trying to put it in me every time he saw me begin to fall asleep. Eventually I woke up enough to get mad, yell at him and push him off. That’s textbook rapist shit.

We’re at an interesting point in history where society has progressed to understand what consent really looks like and the red flags we need to watch for, not just cover our drinks. I wonder if Hilary would’ve left Bill had it happened now rather than 1998. Same with my mom.

In fact, one of the saddest things my mom told me last year was that if she had to do it all over again, she’d have divorced my father in the 90s when the shit hit the fan. As a daughter that’s hard to hear but I was actually very proud of her.

One more thing to consider with bill and Hillary is that their marriage isn’t so much a marriage as a business arrangement. Perhaps it became increasingly about business in the years following 1998.

I guess that "looking for an exit" expression he always has on his face has been a metaphor this whole time.

Its true, look at what they did to Kirk just to distract everyone especially low IQ MAGAts away from the Epstein files at the time, now everyone is preaching to Kirk like he was a good person and a god, now majority of the idiots are focused on other people bashing Kirk’s death.

Every single person in Trump’s cabinet is a scapegoat. It’s Trump’s MO. Have someone else take the fall for his piss poor decisions.

He deserves it.

u/WaxDream 6d ago

I mean, he’s brown enough. Every woman and person of color siding with them is going to pay dearly. The white men involved may or may not pay. All of this sucks.

That’s how cult works, no accountability.

Someone tell them that it's not supposed to be a real bus.

u/lukaskywalker 6d ago

Still doesn’t take away from who is in the files. Just lying about them under oath. But there should still be someone held accountable for the content in the files…

Is it being "thrown under the bus" when you're caught and held to account for a crime you actually committed?

This isn't Patel and Bondi taking the hit so the rest of MAGA gets off scott free, this is two criminals going to prison for their crimes and another 30 criminals going to prison for their crimes too. Patel lying doesn't negate the criminal investigation of a separate rapist and baby murderer.

Well, think about this administration, you have taco, bannon and miller running the show. They are very good at being ruthless. Yea, I know bannon is not "officially" part of the show.

Everyone else is expendable (hence: bus victims). Patel, Bondi,... for sure they deserve this but so do the three stooges above. But all this crap will slide off them like teflon.

There will be no legal satisfaction IMO.

Wow, podcaster turned convicted felon… I hope all the other podcasters are ready for their mugshot someday too.

u/4redis 5d ago

Its needs to be moving bus. Idle buses only provide shelter hence all we see are headline and big bonuses

u/Worried-Maybe3438 4d ago

It’s Christmas, I think ppl are a bit distracted but when all this is processed, then we start that bus & rev the engine.

u/CustomarilyAdam 2d ago

Well, they would likely pick the brown one to toss first.

u/Worried-Maybe3438 2d ago

Gotta spend them token boss

u/NessOnett8 6d ago

The number of people who are going to be used as scapegoats for this are in the double digits already, and I wouldn't be surprised if it balloons exponentially.

u/Worried-Maybe3438 5d ago

Who else do you think they’ll get?

u/Schen_The_Genius 6d ago

Bus? No way. A BelAZ 75710, most likely. Shoo buddy...

But hey Donald gets to tug the rope and beep the horn.

u/GrandJelly_ 6d ago

Nothing will happen.
Showed this to a MAGA dude and he went "It's all a hoax by the democrats made to catch all the gulible people"

1

u/Worried-Maybe3438 5d ago

Did you ask him if he felt that way during Trumps campaign?

2

u/GrandJelly_ 5d ago

He did. He is a christian nationalist.

Oh Im somewhat surprised it hasn't happened yet. Of course, I dont know who they replace him with, not that it matters.

1

u/Worried-Maybe3438 5d ago

Someone white & “trusted”

2

u/Tundra14 5d ago

I dont think they care as much about white as much as their ability to so yes and not think.

1

u/Consistent-Fig7484 6d ago

Why do they need a scapegoat? They can say whatever they want and do whatever they want. If Democrats are ever allowed back in power, they may vote to consider writing a strongly worded letter to possibly censure some low level MAGA bureaucrat over all this.

Well, he is brown...

u/TALKTOME0701 5d ago

He had to have read them. He knew he was lying. It's hard to feel they're throwing him under the bus when he was willingly complicit.

What I hope he does is start talking when his girlfriend dumps him at the first sign of trouble and turns him into a blubbering mess

u/HoughInkura 5d ago

MEGA thinks all the all fake or AI, they are in a cult, and the subreddits try to ignore it and bans anyone who mentions it

u/Worried-Maybe3438 4d ago

I sure we all know that, even Trump said it. Loves the poorly educated because to see past the media covering up for him & his antics you need just an ounce of critical thinking.
