    Elon can post this because he is not on the list, since he was never cool enough to be invited.

    Im still glad he keeps it up. The Trump admin wants to burry the story, they are on that damn list after all

    Again, so what? Either do something about it or fuck off, if there are no consequences what does it matter? I assume if they’re a right winger and big enough that people would recognise their name, they’re probably in there. Obviously some Dems too, but there’s a definite trend.

      This is apathy. “Oh well nothing will happen so who cares?” Apathy is probably not where you wanted to end up in life. Give it some thought.

        Not caring what the biggest piece of shit in the world has to say about another giant piece of shit isn’t apathy. I care deeply about how these scumbags are so openly corrupt and get away with it time and time again. I don’t even live in the USA but the entire world is being affected by this bullshit. If Musk is going to do something about it great, but he’s not, he’s saying this because he knows it’ll get him some more attention.

      Well, the POTUS was found guilty in 34 criminal counts. This is not on Trump, the American State allowed him to go on and become president. American presidents are virtually untouchable now, it’s been more than 60 years since JFK. If they have the Legislative majority and the SCOTUS favor, they are basically kings. They just need to declare an emergency and almost anything goes.

      The only good thing out of this situation is derived from Trump’s unskillfulness. There is no way that the outcome of his government will not lead to a multipolar world and the end of the American hegemony.

      Sorry if I’m misreading, but I wonder if you’re mixing up Steve Bannon (71) and Barron Trump (19). The Tweet says “Bannon” and is probably meant to imply the former. Steve Bannon is probably too old to have ever been victimized by Jeffrey Epstein; they are/were the same age.

        I can see it now. Grey pigtail braids cascade down the slumping, geriatric shoulders of Steven Bannon’s porcine form, skirts swishing, while he attempts to seduce the aging pedophiles on the island. Time and time again he fails. The men look at him with disgust. “Oh no. They all think I’m ugly. Daddy Epstein will never make me a model now”, he thinks to himself, tears welling up in his dead, rheumy eyes.

    "Hey guys you know the people I was hanging around and working with and said were super cool up until last month? Yeah they’re all pedophiles and I had insider knowledge proving this. Don’t think about how this might reflect on me as a person though.

    You know how some people just look, talk and act like sex offenders, and then you find out they’re a sex offender?

      • Three of them are boomers who argued that spousal rape is not a crime (a controvery in the 1970s, when NAMBLA was active and child marriage wasn’t given a second thought) and the other one is trying super hard to be literal Himmler (though he’s earning enough Heydrich points to break the machine).

        Observe that this very same demographic is still trying to hold onto power as they lose their faculties.

    If he has the list as he implies, why not make the ultimate move and release it?

    Those postings are quite pathetic, all bark and no bite.

      He wants to be relevant. He wants attention. Now that he’s no longer at doge, he’s become irrelevant… that’s why he started a party.

        *claiming he is going to start a party. I don’t believe he actually has the will or the focus required to do it. I hope he does, and splits the right’s vote share, but I’m not holding my breath.

    At this point I don’t really care who is in the Epstein files, just clean the house from anyone involved with that shitstain and move on.

    Just get rid of them from the important positions

    All the Trump/Epstein posts have been purged from best and hot on reddit by Spez.

    Spez is doing Trumps bedding and is implicit in the coverup. Spez (moderator of jailbait) is probably on epsteins list

        This is anecdotal, they appeared to be purged. The only way you could check this is with wayback machine. The news appeared to be only 12 hours old and there was lots of noise about it. When I went back to read more it was all gone, I had to scroll for 5 minutes to find a post on best. When I switched over to top there were 4 posts in the first 20 so the story was still very active.

        Re: the jailbait thing, he wasn’t “a mod”, it was possible to add arbitrary users as mods and they put his name on the sub to mess with him.

        Any more recent censorship you’ll have to ask the other guy, I’ve seen plenty happen in real time over there. Reddit is 100% captured media.
