    I find it really entertaining when some low information group becomes aware of information that was fully publicly available before, but which the members vehemently refused to acknowledge purely because they hated/distrusted the people saying it and it didn’t track with their narratives.

      Ikr? No one cares. The only thing I’m surprised is that the official announcement wasn’t official.

      Like there’s ton of pics of trump being buddy buddy with Jeff.

    I had forgotten about the very obvious and forcefully grabbing and groping. Trump is now no longer a term in a card game. It’s the term we now have to use for lower than garbage.

      I feel like the Elon stans are gonna be coming in “see guys, he was just playing the long game, trying to get insider info!”

      This isn’t even new information.

    Isn’t this all footage that we’ve known about for a long time?

    Just to be clear, I felt like we shouldn’t be electing a creepy rapist that hung out with Epstein even before he got elected the first time. I never thought we would somehow do it twice, especially after he almost killed us all the first time around, but c’est la vie, I guess.

    Just wonder how much of this is just a reality TV/wrestlemania style distraction IRL. Like what does it really change that Elon is reposting information we already knew?

    Like there is other big shit going on with Israel, Gaza, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, and the EU going on right now but nobody is really talking about it bc we are paying attention to Elon re-screening videos of Trump/Epstein that we’ve already seen.

    I have weird feelings about this feud because for once I agree with both of them. We should impeach Trump, and we should also cancel all of Musk’s contracts.

      Remember that they are both lying even now about almost everything. Narcissists don’t believe in some underlying reality, because they make up reality every second of their lives, so the fact that they’re feuding now doesn’t mean they actually had some kind of permanent fallout. You could say that they are acting at this exact moment just to deflect attention away from Trump and his big beautiful bill, but it doesn’t really matter because they’re narcissists, and everything they do is an act.

      So, you shouldn’t cheer for either of them because they certainly are not genuine about anything and they definitely will never be on your side, ever.

          I dunno, I’ve seen children with a lot more self-awareness.

          Unless by “children” you mean babies. Because those fuckers have no self-control.

          Edit: And by “those fuckers” I mean babies.

            Why are people digging into the semantics of the word “child” in this thread?

            The point is that they are acting IMMATURELY. 👌

              Semantic debates are easy to feel like you’ve won, they’re the low hanging fruit of the debate world. Sometimes people (including myself, I’m guilty of it too sometimes) just want an easy win.

      Trump was mentored by Roy Cohn. Cohn was Joe McCarthy’s attack dog and had a reputation as the most vicious lawyers in New York. Cohn was the guy who taught Donny to make contracts with mid level businesses and then stiff them.

      Trump repaid these lessons by abandoning Cohn when he found out Cohn had AIDS

          Epstein said that he was D’s best friend for 10 years. Said he was charming and could sell anything. Then said he used that for evil as he trashed all his friends and wives in a pattern: build trust, draw people in, and pop a nasty betrayal.

          The recording is doing the rounds on social media again.

            That would mean that Epstein had nothing on Trump. Would Trump betray Epstein’s friends if Epstein could destroy him?

          I remember an old black and white movie where one pirate saves another’s life.

          I can’t recall the exact line, but it was something like “I had to save you; you’re the only other person I’ve ever met who is as evil as I am.”

            Courtesy of LLM:

            Could be the 2003 Disney movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl? Not black & white though.

            It’s spoken by Captain Hector Barbossa (played by Geoffrey Rush) to Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) during a tense moment on the island. The full exchange is:

            Barbossa: “You’re a cruel one, Jack Sparrow. You’ve doomed us all!”
            Jack Sparrow: “Not all of us.”
            (Elizabeth then shoots Barbossa with a pistol.)
            Barbossa: “I had to shoot you, darling. It’s nothing personal. You’re just the only person I’ve ever met who is as evil as I am.”

            Could be the 1940 pirate film “The Sea Hawk”, starring Errol Flynn and Claude Rains.

            In one scene, the villainous Captain Thorpe (played by Claude Rains) says to the protagonist, Geoffrey Thorpe (Errol Flynn), something along the lines of:

            “I had to save you—you’re the only man I’ve ever met who’s as big a scoundrel as I am!”

            Another possibility is “Captain Blood” (1935), also starring Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone, where rival pirates exchange similar banter.

            Other options are:

            • “The Black Swan” (1942) (with Tyrone Power)
            • “The Buccaneer” (1938) (with Fredric March)

    Man Elon Musk could have just shut up after the Joe Rogan interview and quietly ran his companies and people might still think he was cool, but he was way too stupid and up his own ass to do that so he made literally everybody hate him instead and it’s going to tank his companies.

      It’s real. To be fake it would take professional wrestling levels of acting ability. And do you really think either of these two has that?
