Not many people with first hand knowledge and nobody prominent has revealed incontrovertible facts though. Anyone with half a brain who isn’t obsessed with his pumpkin-painted dumb face knows he is guilty, of course, considering he said he was “best friends” with JE during JE’s most unrestrained period. But still millions of people think there’s no evidence, and the admin is still suppressing over 3 million documents and redacted the rest to hell.
Comment on Do you think that Trump is being blackmailed?

The way blackmailing works, the blakmailer threatens the blackmailee to reveal their secrets. Trumps secrets are out there: he’s a convicted rapist and his name appears more than a million times in the released parts of the Epstein files - i.e. if he’s not a fucking pedo, I’m the King of England. No blackmailer has anything on him that everybody doesn’t already know.
So no.

Well, like I said previously, since it’s just about impossible for ordinary folks to get the Epstein files released in full, we should all default to assuming all those mentioned in it are guilty - and since all those fuckers are rich and powerful and they can get the files released, if they want their names cleared, they can jolly well demand the release of the exculpatory evidence themselves.
And what’s blindingly obvious, starting with the one pedo who’s most mentioned in the files, is that they’re not exactly rushing to demand that the truth be set free…

Trump’s secrets are already out there: he’s a convicted rapist and his name appears more than a million times in the unredacted Epstein files
They have pictures and videos of him raping and torturing small children. Possibly even eating them, if some rumors are true.

I think he might be too narcissistic (and stupid) for blackmail. First off, he’d lie to the blackmailers and regardless, he’d tell somebody else about it. He is the proverbial chess pigeon.

If you’re being blackmailed you also need to be worried about the consequences of the information being revealed, like legal consequences.
Trump dgaf about any of that, nobody’s prosecuting him for the existing things he’s done.

The thing is, there’s no public smoking gun evidence that would put him away for a long time. I think the fact that the unredacted Epstein files haven’t been released means that the evidence does exist, and the oligarchs are using that to manipulate policy. It’s likely policy that Trump himself already wants because he can profit off of it, but I do think there is kompromat out there that is being used.

You don’t think there’s maybe Israeli or Russian dossier’s on Epstein/Trump, that include say, very explicit and direct photos or videos of Trump…
… you know, the kind of things its Kash Patel’s job to censor and deny?
Epstein was basically into ‘triple agent’ territory, where he had so many allegiances and connections that he essentially had to start playing the intel game for himself, as himself.
To me it seems highly likely that much of the information on/around Epstein exists within Mossad, the FSB… they probably have a lot of the same stuff as what the FBI has, but of course, they have their own decision making process for what they would or would not publicize, deny, censor, etc.

Do you not realize that there could be worse things out there?..
ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Yeah, there’s a fair chance that he might be a murderer also. That’s also out there.

And not a single voter will care.
svdasein@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I think the problem is that the fraction of people you’re referring to absolutely would care had they not been basically trained to reflexively dismiss claims of wrongdoing against “daddy” as “fake news”. History is probably going to say trump was probably the most effective con man the world has ever seen.

i think if theres actual footage of him doing these things, tides turn quickly.

Do you not realize that anyone who doesn’t care about everything we already know, is just going to continue to not care?
Anonymous_Leaker@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Do you not realize that there were so many redacted, and it wasn’t just the victims?
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Oh, I’m sure of it. The people who are going to care, already do, his sycophants will continue to support him NO MATTER WHAT.
dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Trump voters dont care if they are redacted by or not. He is a cult leader. They will drink the kool aid because theyre narcissistics
Malyca@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
There are videos of him murdering children
AA5B@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
So far he’s shown no sense of shame or even that his victims are people, and his followers don’t seem to care
BurgerBaron@quokk.au 2 weeks ago
Do you think there is anything unknown at this point that’d actually make a difference? Even saying Trump xould rape a child live on Fox News wouldn’t hurt him old hat now. I don’t buy into the idea that his voter base and staff will magically grow a conscience in response to…anything.
