Very comprehensive list you got there. Damning evidence that the right won’t read unfortunately.

If you got a lot of extra time, maybe compile a list of sex offenders and the like that are in Rump’s circles today. Another example of ‘birds of a feather..’

Thank you for all you do.

So important.

"And here’s another fun thing to think about: everyone assumes that Trump is covering up the Epstein files because those files reveal him to be some kind of pedophile. But what if the files instead reveal that Trump and Epstein were working together to launder Russian money? It’s hardly a secret that Trump’s real estate projects from the 1980s to early 2000s wre rife with Russian oligarch money - oligarchs buying apartments in Trump Tower, oligarchs lending the Trump Organization money to build hotels, and so on. If Epstein and Trump were friends who liked doing real estate deals with Russian money, it seems reasonably likely to me that they might have done some deals together."

I have little doubt that Trump is/was involved in Russian money laundering. But all things considered, I think that Epstein is in a different part of the Venn diagram, Trump being the intersection with the Russians.

When you look at the world of modeling, especially back in the 80s and 90s, the vast majority of the activity seems to take place in Europe. Sure, it sometimes involved Eastern European models from former Soviet countries, but that kind of trafficking doesn’t typically lead to the kind of money that seems to have gone through Trump. Based on the size, it seems like it would be Oligarch money, not human trafficking money, if there’s something going on.

It took me quite a while to get to this, but good job! However, I was never sure how Donald was able to swing burying Ivana on his golf course. When I lived down there, a guy in the hood (he was kind of a proto-MAGA) wanted to be buried on his own farm. When he died, his friends tried to figure out a way to do it, because apparently there are rules as to internment & what constitutes a cemetery. I think they may vary by location, tho; & he lived in the town on the other side of Bedminster from us.

Thanks!

Yeah, the whole thing around Trump is wild.

I’m finishing up a super short article on one key thing in the write up that I think needs highlighting, which is the overlap of the post Access Hollywood allegations with the time Trump and Epstein were friends (which was not widely publicized at the time).

The overlap and the clustering are powerful validation of those allegations, which most people seem to have ignored after Trump won the 2016 election.

A long dark trail of evil, for sure. Burying his ex wife in an unmarked grave on his golf course is obviously not the worst, but it’s just the weirdest thing ever. Shows what a vengeful man he is, and you have to wonder what he’s done to bully and cow his kids so that they can’t even demand a decent burial for their own mother.

It's really wild. I think the interviews where he talks about dating Ivanka or "jokes" about having "sex" in "common" with her are super weird.

And she just laughs hysterically like it’s totally normal. They’re all so warped. I almost — almost — feel sorry for his kids.

I feel like they must suffer from some sort of Stockholm Affluenza.

I realize now that all the videos became "Private" as I released the article. I was trying to stagger them on YouTube so subscribers didn't get hit with 25 notifications all at once. I had them originally as "Unlisted" which enables people to access the video if they have the link and for embeds to work, but when I switched them into scheduled, it didn't keep them as "Unlisted" until the scheduled time, instead forcing them back into "Private" until the scheduled time. Pretty annoying but lesson learned. I'm currently in the middle of switching them all to public.
