A newly-released FBI document details disturbing allegations that Trump struck a teen girl after she "bit the sh*t out of" his penis in an assault facilitated by Jeffrey Epstein.

    EPSTEIN talked about blackmailing people in front of [redacted]. [redacted] was confident TRUMP knew EPSTEIN blackmailed people because she heard EPSTEIN and TRUMP talking about it. [redacted] stated she knew TRUMP had illegal building permits. She heard him (TRUMP) talking about washing money through casinos.

    I wonder if this is true, about Trump washing money.

    As much as I’m sure that child (now woman) never wants to be known publicly, I nevertheless want to give her the keys to whatever city she chooses. And free therapy for life.

      It’s wild to me that the allegations are about what happened after the bite, when in order for it to happen there must have been coercion and sexual/assault leading to it.

    So, has Trump’s plan all along been to repress, repress, repress the Epstein documents, so when they finally come out, people are like, whoa this is dumb shit, this was overhyped. “This was what he was trying to hide?” But if it had just come out without him trying to repress it, it would be a shock.

    I want to be clear I think he should absolutely be removed from the presidency and jailed, not only for raping and abusing girls and women, but for his other crimes too.

    This headline just screams boring dystopia to me. I would like to examine why. But don’t know how. And I imagine the reaction could be, “who cares.”

    How do we stop being so tired of his shit?

    Journalists need to bring back the good old art of monstering.

    Do you have bite scars on your penis, Mr. President!?

    Show us your penis, Mr. President!

      The only time someone asks to see his penis is for court proceedings.

      Times certainly have changed, he used to get asked to see his penis after promising to pay someone but now they all know you need to get the cash from him first.

    Question:
    How can a person who has these type of documents and accusations about them ever be allowed to run for any type of political position? Let alone become the president of a country (twice)?

      It’s because legally, having a criminal record doesn’t disqualify you from running. There isnt anything preventing this. Most likely its to help prevent a minor mishap from long ago condemning your future abilities (otherwise, you’d have all sorts of small charges against every politician to destroy their career. It would make the worst blackmail material).

      Now, morally why did enough people vote for him anyway is a whole different issue that I don’t have an answer for.

        It’s also so that someone can’t weaponize law enforcement on their political opponents. So let’s say you’re president. You come after me on a bogus charge. I’ve now got a record. I can no longer run against you.

        Morally, I agree entirely.

          Crazy to me, that, this is all true, I can become the president, can’t vote for it. Assuming it’s a felony.

          Edit: I have educated myself, and this is not the case. I am not a felon, do not have any experience lol I’ve just, incorrectly, heard, that you can’t vote if you’re a felon.

            Yeah, felonies are more complicated and on a per state basis. A lot of media has flattened it into this binary thing.

        I know loads of adults with no “minor mishaps.” It’s not just normal to have a criminal record, they had no reason to do that. They just assumed no one was dumb enough to vote for criminals

          I know plenty of people with records. Few of them are white. Fewer still are white, cis, straight, and ablebodied.

          If you look a certain way or dress a certain way, law enforcement tends to look for opportunities to harass or arrest you. So no, I don’t think it should be illegal to hold office as a felon. (I’m also against felons having their voting rights taken from them.)

      A considerable amount of the American general public is criminally ignorant, willfully terrible, or both.

      Good portion of people don’t give a shit.

      I’ve spend the past three years trying to get people to investigate the sexual and physical abuse of children in Oklahoma, including some child trafficking. No one cares or wants to do anything about it. More people than we want to admit are okay with children being raped and abused as long as they are a certain type of child (foster kids usually.)

    The woman seems like a long time fraudster\con artist\not trustworthy person.

    The more telling thing from this is that there’s a massive amount of documents that they refuse to release, and that they released the one document of this woman talking about Epstein to the FBI, they didn’t release the other 3 documents that were right along with it that had her talking about Trump. This is pretty hard evidence (as if it weren’t obvious) that the documents not released were very intentionally hiding documents that implement Trump, and likely many other people they wanted to keep illegally protected. That’s the real story.
