That is the correct term. It came from a civil case, where the burden of proof is lower, but also there’s no criminal consequences.


Epstein was Mossad, Trump ran an identical underage model trafficking ring that was linked to the KGB.
They weren’t business partners, but instead friendly competitors with overlap, particularly the guy who secured the fake visas that the girls were in the US under. Paolo Zampolli, former owner of ID models, The Trump Director of international development, and currently appointed to the UN by Trump.


He was appointed a mod, which could happen without the user approval at the time. But he remained on the “mod team” until the sub was shut down a few years later.


Trump was never convicted of sexual assault.
His 34 convictions are for campaign finance crimes.
He was found civilly liable for sexual assault, and was found as a matter of fact to have raped, but other than monitory fines in civil court, nothing legal can be done about the rapes.


There’s no defense at a grand jury hearing. So at least that’s free. Likely not stress free.


Spoiler, they won’t. Most treat politics as a sports team. Elections are all about their team winning. And if they guy they elected is terrible, they convince themselves that the other guy was worse,
The best you can hope for is them giving up on voting for a cycle or two. Then they’re right back in it, voting for team colors regardless of real world consequences.
The oddballs who actually care are the ones you hear from most, the assholes who like the cruelty.


Trump has plenty of experience as a human trafficker, but those were underage models in his little fake modeling agency, Trump Model Management, which was a friendly competitor to Epstein’s MC2 Model Management.
But I can understand him not wanting to draw on that experience here. That and Hegaeth is a murderous fuck, and he was the one awake enough to give the order.


After an 11-minute car ride with no video. Suddenly, there’s a gun in the side pocket, one that was conveniently overlooked before.
Trump and Nixon, Hegaeth and Kissinger.
I’ll say the Kissinger was worse, if only because he seemed to be accepted by polite society.
Hegseth’s an unlikable alcoholic whose only command experience was in the early 2000s as a lieutenant.
His entire time as a captain was in a teaching position, and he phoned in his time as a major. Or rather he joined the DC national guard and was flagged as an insider threat because of his multiple white nationalist tattoos, so he quit.
So while Trump is unarguably more openly corrupt than Nixon, he also has surrounded himself with unqualified yes men who are often hated by their subordinates.


Allen Dulles, Sorry, he was the first civilian director of the CIA. I had misremembered that part. But yeah, he was the guy who pulled Kishe out of Prison to then rule Japan (and erase a lot of war crimes from their education system)


Yeah, that was never possible. Mostly due to the geography of the US.
As to the whole “if they could see the US now” bit, they could see it then.
The US before and after the Second World War was far too friendly with Nazis. The first head of the CIA was a Nazi and put a Japanese war criminal in charge of Japan.
The guy co-signed the declaration of war that launched the attack on pearl harbor, and that was the least of his crimes. The guy was pulled out of prison by the CIA and put in charge of the Japanese conservative party.
Now for the US behavior before WW1, the term Banana Republic was not originally referring to a clothing store. The US toppled multiple governments, so that fruit companies could literally take over.
Go earlier then that and you have genocide and slavery.
With all that said, Thomas Jefferson is the perfect founding father. A slave owner who wrote about freedom. A hypocrite of the highest order, who was called out on his bullshit at the time. Oh yeah, and a bit of a pedo. Sally Hemings was 14 when Jefferson started rapping her
Hemings was also the enslaved half sister of Jefferson’s wife.
Now, I can also do this sort of airing of dirty laundry for most of Europe, which is why no country of the time even thought to criticize the US.


As an aside, have you been following how Ukraine uses drones for anti personal attacks? Interesting stuff.


Yeah, the newly formed CIA of the postwar era actually pulled the man who signed the order for the attack on Pearl Harbor out of prison, to put him in charge of Japan’s conservative party, and with a heavy hand on the scales the leader of the country. All to fight off a group that wanted to unionize Japan’s workers so that they didn’t have to work themselves to death.
Basically everyone begged the CIA not to do this, and yet they did. Because the first leader of the CIA had been personal friends with several prominent Nazis, and had reportedly cried when America entered WW2 against the Nazis. The other Dulles brother wasn’t any better of a person.


Mob boss mentality.
Smart dictators try to breed both competence and loyalty. I’m glad that Trump and his handlers are not smart.


I think that was part of Gamer Gate. The toxic rightwing backlash to women existing on the internet, and not in porn. It was the exact same time period.


Could have been. Reddit never actually told us anything. One of the other mods got a private message on another channel (discord maybe?) from the missing mod about it. But details were light, and the missing mod never even tried to return to Reddit. Said the ban was good for his mental health.
Then there was some Subreddit specific drama, and Reddit admins actually did the good thing. Then the API change, the blackout, and a couple other things that specifically fucked over mods. So I too, mostly left.


I do indeed. I didn’t actually have an account back then, because I was mostly browsing from work… I also mostly frequented Digg until the 4.0 fiasco.
