Good morning, UPG2, what did I miss-
*more Epstein sperging*
"Hello, darkness, my old friend..."

TikTok is going crazy about how all of the wild animals at Yellowstone National Park are allegedly running away from Yellowstone. Is probably nothing to be concerned about.

Please, God, let it finally happen. Cleanse this cursed Earth.

A tad late on this because of work these past few days, but I looked up who this guy is and he wrote this book:

View attachment 7650107

Which is basically a book on how to go to the Philippines and fuck the women there. Passport bro guide. Considering this post and how common pedophilia sex tourism is over there...

Book was written in 2015. The Philippines had an age of consent of 12 until 2022, which is when they decided to join the civilized world by raising it to 16.

I'll bet you guys my next three paychecks he's definitely fucked a 14-year-old or younger over there.

Nigga please, that guy could only get hookers there.

What would the reaction be if Trump talked about game emulation and brought attention to RetroArch, Bizhawk, MAME etc.?

Do you think he'll mention Gamergate while he's at it?

I'd say, "Maybe we can finally talk about something other than Epstein now," but I know it'll just get spun off into its own thread if it becomes a thing worth discussing.

 

[Dr. Ricearoni]

The doublethink of "There's nothing to see, there is no Epstein list, no children were sex trafficked" and "they can't release it because they'd be required to post child porn" drives me mad. I think we should be able to admit when our president makes mistakes, and I think hyping up the list then saying it doesn't exist was a very big mistake. I feel like a coward for not saying it in this thread proper until now. I don't like the idea that because it might unravel the government we shouldn't care about it. If so much of the government is full of pedophiles that it'd fall apart if they were exposed, then society has already collapsed.

It's interesting to watch and undermines the Abraham accords

Honestly, the more people sperg out about the Epstein list documents files the less likely they are to be published as it becomes a liability and security risk for the DoJ and for anyone who is named in them.
Obviously the democrats knows this, which is why they are going all in to keep it in the headlines.

Otherwise you're going to have headlines like "Person named in Trump Admin Epstein files murdered while out on a walk"

People think the files will say "Mr John Johnson raped and beheaded a toddler together with Mr Epstein."

Instead it will say stuff like "John Johnson had a phone call with Mr Epstein on 2017-02-15 which lasted 45 seconds"

Also the JFK and Area 51 files were released once basically everyone named in them were already dead.

 

[The Ugly One]

Also holy fuck we really do need single issue bills

We don't have single-issue bills because margins are too thin to pass them.

Let's say we just have a clean debt ceiling increase. All Democrats will vote "no" because shutdowns hurt Republicans. Massie and some other lolberts will vote "no" unless it comes with spending cuts. A few other Republicans will also peel off and vote no, publicly saying it's because spending is too high, but privately telling the Speaker they won't vote for shit unless there's pork for their district in it.

So now it's time to cut some spending to placate Massie. Every single Congressman whose district will be affected will vote "no," plus once again every Democrat. So that bill fails, too.

You'd think stopping trans kids will be a slam dunk? Since it's not a spending bill, it needs 60 votes in the Senate to pass, and we don't have 60 Republicans. Thus it fails.

Sounds great, but what actually happens is nothing passes since parties vote against each other, meaning it only takes 5-6 members of your own party defecting to scuttle a bill, and nothing except spending omnibus bills can get through the Senate anyway.

 

[harmy.kook]

Why didn't the Republicans vote yes, then?

How do we know that this was going to be what they wanted and that they weren't going to just add more retarded bullshit modifying it? They do that shit all the time.

Because it's exactly what happened

For anyone wondering what this Congressional vote was exactly for:

House Republicans did block a House a Democrat Party attempt to compel the Trump administration to release records related to Epstein in a different way though:

 

[The Ugly One]

You probably couldn't satisfy people at this point unless literally everyone with a net worth greater than eight figures was hanging from a streetlight.

Your terms are acceptable.

Captain Planet is also on the Epstein List.

 

[The Ugly One]

The files with names exists.

Nah, it was all destroyed when his place was ransacked.

but I looked up who this guy is

How are you only today learning who Matt Forney is?

 

[WelfareNiggerQueen]

I'm starting to wonder if Trump is getting people riled up into an autistic rage intentionally just to annoy normies to the point that they stop caring about Epstein out of spite.

>Trump
He's being dumb about it but it isn't him bringing it up. That's one of the biggest things that grinds my gears whenever Epstein is back in the mainstream, TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP. Hey, huge child trafficking ring and all everybody can talk about is Trump.

But you can’t call the failure to release the files a broken campaign promise.

He never talked about Epstein at his rallies. It was always immigration, economy, and retribution for the political witch hunts that happened during Biden. He started to talk about radical leftism more after getting shot.

The simplest answer is there is no formal Epstein client list. The idea of a list like this originates with Virginia Giuffre, who took a payout from Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew rather than seek any sort of justice. This doesn't even discount the idea that Epstein and Maxwell were pimping out underage girls to powerful people, and it could also be the case that such evidence was destroyed, but the idea of a physical book registering all clients is what people want... and doesn't make any sense. How many pimps do you know who keep a record of all their clients? That would be like a drug dealer or a hitman recording all his customers.
