Shock at that thread, Rousette.

I'm going to pick through that in more detail shortly.

Whilst sometimes people cherry-pick facts to create an untrue story, if all of the material on that thread is true (and it's well referenced), that is huge.

Also, many of the allegations of rape and sexual assault against Trump pre-date his run for president, and his own words about sexually assaulting women, and about Ivanka, and about Epstein's parties, are on record. So it wouldn't exactly be surprising if Trump had sexually assaulted minors at Epstein's parties and there was kompromat about this.

Billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein
Hmmm🤔 which has more impact, 'billionaire pedophile' or 'paedophile billionaire'?

Lweji · 07/07/2019 10:52

Saw the news of the earthquake yesterday. Sad

It's good and perhaps significant that Epstein is going to court in NY and not Florida. Heads more likely to roll, don't you think?

Roussette · 07/07/2019 11:21

I had no idea that Epstein's girlfriend was Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the crook Robert Maxwell.

Meanwhile, rooting for the US Women's football team, just so that Rapinoe can refuse to meet the President.

We Won!!!! 2-0

Stand strong and tall, Rapinoe. (and the rest of the team!)

I have a feeling that Scrotus won't invite the team. He's done that before when a team/players have told him to fuck off.

AcrossthePond55 · 07/07/2019 17:58

Trump will probably say he's not inviting them because they're 'not his type'. 🙄🤮☠️

Lweji · 07/07/2019 18:07

Oh, he's already had his Twitter war over it. Grin

And Ocasio Cortez has already invited them to Congress, which Rapinoe has accepted.

It will be interesting to see how it plays up now.

And congratulations to the US Team!

cozietoesie · 07/07/2019 18:26

Not inept. Grin

Roussette · 07/07/2019 18:41

Well done US football team! I hope they go off to Congress and avoid cold hamberders at the WH Smile

Some people are up in arms with what the UK Amb said. I don't get why, after all his job is to be brutally honest with his superiors about the leaders of the 'host' country so that his country has a realistic idea of what their foreign policy should be. Considering that he probably wanted to write that Scrotus was a 'fucking idiotic bawbag' and a 'bloody menace to the civilized world', I'd say he couched his communiques in very diplomatic terms!

Lweji · 07/07/2019 20:03

It wasn't said in an interview to the press. And it's an accurate description.

The question is who leaked those documents and why.

AcrossthePond55 · 07/07/2019 20:06

I've heard that 'some people' want to discredit the ambassador because he doesn't 'fit the mold' for the post, ie he comes from 'common stock' rather than the 'upper echelons' of society. I'm not up on UK politics enough to know if that's true or why it would make a difference if it is.

cozietoesie · 07/07/2019 22:37

As Lweji surmised, the question is more who leaked and why.

How the Fox website spins the Epstein story: by not having it on the front page and not mentioning Trump in the title, like so - “Christine Pelosi warns it's 'quite likely that some of our faves are implicated' in 'horrific' Epstein case”.

Christine Pelosi, the daughter of Nancy Pelosi, is an official of the DNC.

Nonetheless, Trump has lost his marbles at Fox in a series of incoherent tweets.

Watching @FoxNews weekend anchors is worse than watching low ratings Fake News @CNN, or Lyin’ Brian Williams (remember when he totally fabricated a War Story trying to make himself into a hero, & got fired. A very dishonest journalist!) and the crew of degenerate......

Comcast (NBC/MSNBC) Trump haters, who do whatever Brian & Steve tell them to do. Like CNN, NBC is also way down in the ratings. But @FoxNews, who failed in getting the very BORING Dem debates, is now loading up with Democrats & even using Fake unsourced @nytimes as....
