Thought I’d be brave and start a pro-Trump thread for a change, after all, there are so many anti-Trump ones , we need some balance!
I even tried commenting on an anti-Trump thread today… and wow, just kept being told to go away, my comments were not well received. Honestly, I feel honoured to feel as if I have been officially deported, what an achievement!😂

He is a former President! He had a relationship with Epstein while he was President Of USA !

Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State, have both agreed to testify in the congressional investigation into late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He will appear for a deposition on 27 February, and Hillary Clinton will appear the day before!

So when will Trump and Melania testify for the congressional investigation?

Can we have proof of that number, where did you get it from? From the AP News or Reuters?

Epstein seems to have been totally obsessed with Trump and "mentioned" him thousands of times in his emails to others. As far as I know there are no emails Epstein wrote directly to Trump or any emails that Trump answered. You do know that Trump fell out with him big time and refused to have anything more to do with him. He accused Epstein of stealing his staff from Mar-a-Lago resort. He asked Epstein to stop and he carried on! So did not have anything more to do with him.

Any idea how many times other people are mentioned? Do you know how many times Bill Clinton is mentioned? Any idea how often Clinton visited Epstein's island? At the wonder if Clinton really is going to say "he had no idea what was going on at the island" ..... bit like his famous line "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

....eh because his name,image and likely references to have been redacted??? I mean its taken them about 6 or 8 months to do it ...so one can assume that to find them, redact them, in millions of documents would take a wee while dont ya think? And lord alone knows what cess pit of he'll is in the last 3 million pages they haven't released. Potentially would end up 3.million totally blacked out pages all talking about trump and/or his sullied billionaire friends.

As for the sterilised version of their friendship fallout the other story is that trump and epstein fell out because trump bought a property that epstein asked his opinion on ...so good friend that trump was bought it from under him. Much more believable. Also there is evidence of contact between the 2 up until trump initial phase of his first foray in politics or at least much later than trump admits to.

Broaden your information sources.

But they don't want because that might mean they actually have to think critically. Surely Fox News is enough for anyone.

Clicked on the link and there is a login screen (might register later but don't have time at the moment ) and allI can see is:

The New York Times found more than 5,300 files with references to Mr. Trump and related terms. They include salacious and unverified claims, as well as documents that had already been made public.

So in 5,300 files he is mentioned 38,000 times? So in each file Trump's name is mentioned at least 7 times???? Did Epstein have TDS?

Does the NY times mention how many times other people appear in the Epstein Files : Peter Mandelson, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Former Prince Andrew MBW, Sarah Ferguson etc etc.....

Yeah. But orange rind is rather bitter.

Yes, he has agreed to testify, and wants his testimony to be fully public. Trump has offered no such thing. That's telling.

Problem is that the files put out have not been made searchable. You have to wonder why.

Your endless deflections aren't a good look, by the way.

So you can afford healthcare insurance and pay upfront...Lucky you...as ive said many, through no fault of their own cannot. As much as you might want to rave about the virtues of trumprx it doesnt cut it for millions of Americans...but you've established that there's only one person youre really concerned about.

Bezos has enough leverage to limit some of the shit happening...his focus might be diversifying but to suggest he is disinterested with no influence, just partying his life away on a yacht is absurd.

'When youre in the states' ...so you are an immigrant in us or elsewhere. Hypocracy at its finest.

The immigrant in the Whitehouse...is there a choice? I suppose theres always Usha. But urely all immigrants should be treated the same in your world, Usha might be a bit more legit than ...' meleana' and barron... it seems obvious her 'einstein' visa is a stretch....maybe it should have been an epstein visa for which she is likely more qualified as a good friend of his. Even trumps origins are Scottish and German...interestingly his own grandfather left germany to avoid conscription...the apple didnt fall too far from the tree there. Ole bone spurs living up to the family trait....so much for his 'patriotism'.

I suspect the US would be in trouble if they actually went around many rich peoples businesses rounding up and checking out in detail all the Mexicans, and various other nationalities doing necessary but not exciting work and busily keeping their businesses and personal lives ticking over- and that includes Trump .

His civil rights are being trampled on, and this is unconstitutional. Legal work permit, married to a citizen, law-abiding (not so much as a traffic ticket), and deported from Massachusetts to NY to TX. Presumably because of his Irish accent. Due Process is assured in the 5th and 14th Amendments in the Constitution. He either needs to be charged, or set free. Holding people for unlimited amounts of time without charging them with a crime is unconstitutional. And he’s being malnourished. Cool. 👍

How is that a gotcha or a flex?

If Bill Clinton or Donald Trump or Prince Andrew or Mandelson or flipping God was involved, they should be held accountable.

Unlike Trump, who is lining up to testify and is always honest.

CowTown · 09/02/2026 12:58

Both can be true:

  • Clinton is a creep who had oral sex with an intern.

AND

  • Trump is a pedophile rapist who also raped a woman in a department store changing room.

It’s not an either or situation.

I'm not trawling through stuff but there is always the birthday card.

As for falling out because a sex trafficker stole a young massage girl from him. That really doesn't help your case.

CowTown · 09/02/2026 14:22

Trump’s birthday card (in the shape of a naked body) said, “We have certain things in common, Jeffrey…….May every day be another wonderful secret.” I wonder what secret a man who went on national radio and said the perk of owning Miss Teen USA was his ability to walk through the changing room gawking at naked teens…what might his “wonderful secret” with Epstein be?

A good time to remind his supporters that Trump's name appeared 38,000 times in the Epstein files.

That we know of as yet.

I find this interesting, because as far as I know she is not mentioned in the files, and never visited Epstein's bordello island. Why do they want her testimony? So she can say "I have no idea" many times over?

Igotjelly · 09/02/2026 17:42

It amazes me that Trump excusers seem to always use the argument that our sex pest is worse than their sex pest. How about we just don’t elect misogynistic arseholes to run the country? 🤷‍♀️

Also, his conviction for sexual assault and his, among others, lovely quote about grabbing women 'by the pussy.'

I mean, this is a really great guy, of course we should give him the benefit of the doubt with the Epstein files...

Yep. I mean the one thing we've had confirmed (as if we needed it confirming) is just how many of the absolute creeps there are.

I wonder where the OP can have got to? I hope she's all right! Not whisked off to hospital with peritonitis or something....

If she was currently living in my city, we might be concerned that she'd been picked up by ICE.

If Ringo ever gets whisked away by ICE and detained several states away…

Alas, she enjoys being an immigrant expat here, where we don’t believe in sweeping large groups from off of the street without due process.

And sometimes the citizens get lucky and are just teenagers thrown out of the car ten minutes away from their job, battered and bruised, or like the grandmother last week, on her way to buy a birthday cake for grandson, with a rotator cuff injury and concussion. ICE had found her passport after dragging her from her car, so were chivalrous enough to just leave her in the road. Great guys!
