Rightwing influencers in the US who are often aligned with Donald Trump are angry that a joint justice department and FBI memo has dismissed the existence of a “client list” in the case against late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The disgraced financier killed himself in a jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City in 2019 while awaiting prosecution on child sex-trafficking and conspiracy charges.
Almost ever since, Epstein’s death has been the subject of conspiracy theories on the right, including a supposed “client list” that he purportedly used to blackmail wealthy co-conspirators.
Worst cover up ever. They’re not even trying.
I absolutely love that this is breaking the minds of some trump supporters. Maybe it will open their eyes to the reality of how bad and corrupt Trump is. But also I give it till the weekend before most if not all fall back in line with whatever theory Fox News, Joe Rogan, or newsmax say to switch the narrative.
I am not a right winger. I’m a leftist.
I want the list leaked. Every single name exposed. And everyone from anywhere who’s there needs to be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest.
Even if there wasn’t an OPSEC failure like a list. There was video. Feed that shit into an AI. Let it scrape for faces and redact everything else. Nobody needs to watch thousands of hours of CP looking for who did what. Investigate. Prosecute. Execute publicly. Make it a spectacle. Let the surviving victims who want to do so smash their heads with sledge hammers.

How?
They’re making fun of the idea that extreme ends of the political compass end up having similar ideals. Maybe people just want pedophiles exposed and dealt with.
Just memeing on people who like to post that whenever right wingers and left wingers want the same thing.
killed himself
No, he didn’t
I always thought the belief was that he was ordered to kill himself, not that someone did it for him. Like Frank Pentangelie in godfather 2. Like a “kill yourself or everyone you love dies” type of thing
It really doesn’t have to be from someone else. Lots of people kill themselves after being exposed as pedophiles and realizing that they’re about to go to jail for it. He could have easily just bribed the guards to let him kill himself and anyone else involved would still have a vested interest in keeping evidence suppressed.
You think he would have bribed the guards to shut down the cameras…?
Except it wasn’t his first time being exposed for that, right?
Right. It wasn’t like him getting locked up was a surprise. And if you’re gonna off yourself, there are a lot of less painfull ways to do it (if you still have the opportunity) than hanging.
Convicted of state level crimes in Florida, but no federal crimes far as I remember.
was happy when I checked r/conservative yesterday (I know I shouldn’t check). and practically all the comments were about how they were disappointed, or actually starting to understand that Trump is in the list or protecting his buddies.
However, when I checked today, lots of top comments were peddling a conspiracy theory about how Trump is under threat of the deep state, and if he releases it he and his family will get murdered. There had to be some AstroTurfing injecting conspiracy theories.
r/cons is almost always run by russian mods and bots.
Almost?
it’s distopian seeing the propaganda machinery turn on.
seeing reactionaries having a day to think for themselves, then come to their own ideas and… nope, they just turn on the propaganda machinery, no independent thought.
the russian bots drum up the shit stirring in that sub. theres like some other subs ive seen, donald, republican, newnormal, trueunpopularopinion that popped last year.
it’s just so plainly obvious that there is so much AstroTurfing, how dumb can humans be.
(rethorical question, human stupidity trully is an unlimited resource)
and yes the normal politics, news and other subs get astroturfed to an extent.
and practically all the comments were about how they were disappointed,
Pffft, now they know how I felt when Trump was elected.
Anyone who is willing to consider the idea that their Dear Leader isn’t the perfect reincarnation of Christ gets banned from there so the mods must have had a field day with that one.
When they say Reddit is all bots they’re not kidding. Especially the “mainstream” subs.
I’m curious about the psyche of reactionaries. but holy fuck, that was some serious AstroTurfing.
And because they’re reactionaries, it will work.
IE, reactionaries are a mental disease
It really is.
And no i refuse.
they openly claim that empathy is a sin.
literal sociopaths
No. They’re fascists. Its worse.
