Can't remember the original video I saw about this but wanted to hear people's thoughts on Kash Patel's twenty-years younger girlfriend who has links to Israel and had a chunk of her background mysteriously empty.

Here's a video I found from googling quickly:

Of all the theories so far, "Jeet was promised jew pussy so is intentionally sinking an entire presidential administration" is actually the MOST believable.

Im starting to feel like the Epstein stuff is in itlsef a conspiracy to fracture us. Not all of it obviously, if there are files they should be released but some of this does feel artificial

See my reply here.
Trump was asked if he would release the files and responded ad-hoc that he might, but it was never a ‘campaign promise’. The actual promise came in January 2025, long after he had won the election.

Once again, because I’ve had to deal with enough of you people that I already know your standard responses off by heart:
  • No, I’m not ‘protecting pedophiles’ or acting as a ‘child rape defender’.
  • Yes, it was incredibly stupid to promise the release of the files (especially as he likely had no idea who they compromised- this is 98% likely a coverup).
  • Yes, it was a betrayal of that promise to turn around and say ‘nothing to see here’ and everyone who had an expectation of the files’ release is entitled to be pissed off.
  • Yes, it’s a severe misstep to try to simply move the narrative on as if nothing had happened.
Now can we go back to discussing facts, rather than creative interpretations that suit certain narratives?

I pretty much say it was a campaign issue from him because his official campaign social media account posted a video of him saying he would release them. I don't know how much more objective you can be.

He did some rallies talking about the JFK files and I believe once about MLK but that was shortly after RFK Jr. joining up. At the lolbert rally he campaigned about pardoning Ross Ulbricht for them but he never did a rally about Epstein.
Everybody (Bondi, Jeet, Pitbull guy) hyped up the Epstien stuff beyond what it was and went full retard cheering that they got everything when they clearly didn't. Could've spent at least a year rummaging through everything but with how fast they compiled and released a huge amount of JFK stuff people would eventually start getting agitated about Epstein.

The handling of this is terrible.

The Epstein list would have been nice but what is more important is deporting and getting the economy going while dodging Israeli entanglements.

Antagonizing the people on a huge emotional autistic meltdown isn't helping. Some fat big titted Kindergarten teacher needs to talk to them and go through all the court documents since we're in schizo territory on what's in the Epstein stuff. Victim testimonies would be the best to go over for the umpteenth time but again people will still and should demand who the diddler Dan's are. The ones that knew full well what was going on.
A new current thing will eventually pop up and when this is forgotten about we'll start again at zero with the Epstein sperging as if it's brand new and just found out. Only screeching about Trump since the world has been revolving around him for the past 10 years.

End of 2019 and the entirety of 2020 the entire government was pretty much in open revolt against him. The screeching about shutting down the airports when COVID cases were popping up was met with everybody calling him a racist bigot against the Chinese and catching an impeachment case for investigating the Biden's. Also the Pentagon and House Democrats trying to take the nuclear codes from him.

We just already had most of it.

It even has his contact list.

They combed through something like 10000 CP videos. Can't release any of those. We got the cell footage as Phase 2, that I agree is sus, but he didn't have the list with him in his prison cell so that's a moot point.

You are convinced there is stuff that wasn't released that was never stated to exist.

Genuinely, do people even watch/listen to these things now? I can understand the frustration in 2012, but we are so far into the internet era that I can't imagine PBS is really acting as low-income babysitter anymore. Most children only seem to watch Bluey or those weird YouTube animations from India, PBS is now a platform for the vocal minority of adult children who talk about Sesame Street and WordGirl.

PBS once had a variety of shows to cater to kids (Sesame Street et al.) and adults/families with shows such as Nova or In Search of... In later years, the kids had Reading Rainbow and Ghostwriter. Attempts to reboot shows such as Zoom or Electric Company weren't as successful as their original counterparts. Now, shows in those genres - whether for kids, families, or adults - have the unfortunate tendency to embrace contemporary politics and have the same cookie-cutter feel in terms of premise, format, and content. Even with PBS having separate digital subchannels for content in my part of Kiwi Land, good shows worth watching feel like the exception and not the norm.

Previously discussed is the paradox of PBS claiming federal funding is a small portion of the budget compared to their corporate funding partners and individual donations (do they still have telethons or local auctions any more?) only to now protest over the loss of Federal funding being their undoing. It's more likely the case that once individuals or entities enjoy suckling from the teat of federal funding, the less willing they become over time to wean themselves when that funding is no longer needed, justifiable, or available.

There's probably still a role for public broadcasting, but it needs to be reimagined and revamped now that traditional TV and radio are not the dominant media as they once were.
(Edited for clarity.)
