assaulted at least five women
Do you mean CHILDREN?
assaulted
Do they mean RAPED?
There is a legal difference between sexual assault and rape. Obviously they did both, but just so you know.
I’m not a lawyer and see all of it as rape.
Some of them were minors, some of them weren’t
Let’s split the difference in a way that we can all agree.
Five girls.
If we’re going to be non-specific, let’s use the least minimizing term.
Agreed.
Be me. Try to do the right thing. Do what society tells me. Work hard. Get hit in the face by the rock of life and am stumbling hard.
Be them. Worst of the worst, crimes against absolutely everyone and everything. Reach the pinnacle of success.
I really think the Germans need to come up with a new word for the contrast I’ve stated.
No single words, and nothing that seems too interesting in German, but there’s a good Cantonese phrase that encompasses that sentiment:
殺人放火金腰帶，修橋補路無屍骸
shā rén fàng huǒ jīn yāo dài, xiū qiáo bǔ lù wú shī hái
Roughly, “murder and arson earn a gold belt; doing good deeds (lit. building bridges and repairing roads) leaves no corpse (i.e. no one can find your body to bury properly).
Love it.
And yet society is built by the people who make and repair roads and bridges.
The gold belt I assume is a phrase for wealth and power.
As a kid I got the idea of job hopping, switching companies every few years for more money. My dad said, ‘if you try to climb too fast you’ll break your neck’.
Turns out… No, the most successful people are absolutely the ones who are so completely full of shit and talk from both sides of their mouth and do what they condemn for everyone else with great gusto.
I’ve been in IT for many years. At least when markets are not like they are right now, moving to another job was absolutely the way to get market wages.
Being the “nice guy” and sticking around for “loyalty to the company” (lol) just fucks over the worker. It’s not unethical to vote with your feet.
I’ve been in situations where people try to manipulate good people into thinking that it is.
My problem is also that I am autistic and have a plethora of other issues. My greatest problem was always in finding decent work. Right now I have a job that is very good and pays well and I consider it my first ever ‘real’ job. I got it at 40. So that’s how long it took me to do it.
The guys who job hop right after college and are directors by their late 30s are not something I can imitate, sadly. Not out of lack of trying. It is just that fucking hard for me.
I never angled for management per se in these jumps; often it was doing only slightly different work (mostly just swapping the emphasis on different tools/languages/operations systems, etc.) but just getting gouged because market rates went up or how I came in with a lowballed salary because of coming in with no experience or after a layoff…
Sorry to hear about your struggles. Yeah, work is a place that is rarely accommodating of, well, anything, least of all people that are not cut from a certain mold.
We already have a good one in English: capitalism.
no, broke or poor
Nice country to be proud living in! Run by a child molester and gang of criminals……….no wonder the whole world wants NOTHING to do with you!
they just flaunt all this shit at us cuz theres nothing we actively can do. they just laugh at us, look at howard nutlick.
He and his wife were so shocked and horrified by Jeff that Howard kept doing stuff with him for another decade plus after the supposed interaction in 2005 that had them so verklempt:
Lutnick said he and his wife left and decided that he would never be in a room with Epstein again. He further said that he was never with Epstein socially, for business, or through philanthropy.
Oh, what’s this?
Records released in 2026 contradicted the ordinary meaning of that account. They documented attempts to communicate after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, an in person meeting in 2011, a social visit to Little Saint James in 2012, shared participation in an investment, philanthropic and fundraising intersections, and direct correspondence in 2018.
The conservatives made another oopsie-doodle! No big deal, the Murc’s Law Media should probably pivot to some bOtHsIdEs story, for balance, stat…

I’m not saying this is true or isn’t true.
But the article does credit Katie Johnson as the source and there is reasonable doubt as to whether she even exists. The only person who claims to have spoken to her is a Jerry Springer Story Producer.
What We Know About Origins of Trump Child Rape Allegations
The reason why I say this is I think it’s important to be factual even when making allegations against scum like Trump. Any false rumor we spread is another victory for MAGA and the right. It’s a way for them to convince more people that the left is evil.
Apparently there are logged FBI interviews in the house report of a woman making these claims:
Also I think Katie Johnon is an anonymised victim name so what you are talking about might be a different “claim” than what appears in this document.
Thank you for providing a detailed and skeptical response.
I have fallen victim of sharing/spreading political claims without enough due diligence.
We must ensure that credibility is the most important criteria. Otherwise, even the most spurious claims are used to frame things against other evidence.
Fuck Trump forever, he is a pedophile. We must pursue the highest standards of evidence to compel the Judiciary.
The answer is simple, release the Epstien files…
100% AGREE.
And the rabid knee jerk reactions of a lot of people make them more and more like MAGA. Staying skeptical and asking for evidence is a good thing, that’s how society works. Otherwise we’re just going into actual witchcraft accusations where the accusers are always and by default in the right and beyond reproach, which does not make for a great society to live in.
Have you watched Katie Johnson’s testimony? This was before trump was elected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnib-OORRRo&lis=
What is the source for this video? None of the links in the description include this video.
The link to the court case shows that Katie Johnson was completely unreachable by the court system and letters were repeated returned to sender.
Snopes and the Guardian researched Katie Johnson and neither were able to find credible claims.
I’m not saying she doesn’t exist only that there is reasonable doubt here.
This video was out when I first joined reddit around 2016. Not only was she real, but there is a witness. Also, there are plenty of verifications during that time period. You can say that you don’t believe her, but you can’t say it’s not real.
Mason signed on this week to represent the plaintiff, who filed her complaint as “Jane Doe,” according to court records. He is best known as the defense attorney for Casey Anthony, the Florida woman acquitted on charges of killing her 2-year-old daughter in 2008.
Donald Trump is accused of having forcible sex with the plaintiff while attending a party at the NYC apartment of convicted billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to the complaint. The plaintiff also claims that Epstein raped her twice at two such parties.
Two witnesses provided affidavits filed by the plaintiff under the names “Joan Doe” and “Tiffany Doe” that back up the woman’s story.
“Joan Doe” claims that the plaintiff told her about the assaults in 1994–95 shortly after they are alleged to have occurred.
I don’t think it’s fair to say that he’s saying he doesn’t believe her. He’s saying that it’s not easy to prove her existence. Just because you ask for facts and evidence does not mean that you side with the accused. That would mean that the whole justice system sides with the accused at all times because they require facts and evidence in a court of law.
I can say Katie Johnson might not be real because if you had read the article I linked to, you would know that Norm Lubow is the person who actually filed the lawsuit, not Katie Johnson.
Norm Lubow was also pretending to be someone named Al Taylor, who was also aggressively pushing the accusation with journalist.
Even Radar Online, which is linked in the post here is a known gossip site that didn’t believe Katie Johnson story to be credible either.
The gossip site Radar Online published a short story on April 28, 2016, noting the filing, but even it was skeptical, highlighting the fact that the person filing the claim had given apparently bogus contact information, using the address of a foreclosed house whose owner had recently died.
How does that work, filing a lawsuit on someone’s behalf, without the court being able to even verify their existence? That doesn’t make too much sense to me. She would have testify, no? It seems otherwise that’d be a pretty glaring issue with the justice system, if you can just make up people to represent without identifying them?
She would have to testify and the courts couldn’t reach her so the case was dropped. The filer gave a fake address.
Read the article, my dude.
Also I can tell you didn’t read my article because it addresses the sketchy video of the pixelated woman.
What article did you link? You seem to be trying to discredit this video for no reason. A person afraid for their life is usually hard to find.
You replied to me linking a Snopes article on this.
You didn’t even read what you replied to?
You seem to be confused and/or trolling.
if you look at their original comment there is blue text. That is something you can click, genius. It leads to an article. I’ve got no dog in this fight, but you being so obtuse made me need to respond.

Fact one
- you talked about Snopes and The Guardian, but provided no links
Fact two
- I provided this link https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/mikehayes/attorney-donald-trump-will-have-to-answer-teens-rape-accusat#.gtDdpq85m
Note: It’s to buzzfeed
Fact three
- you think I provided a link to snopes.
Last comment.
That’s not really enough to prove much. There are two paragraphs on that page and one of them seems inaccurate.
Two facts reinforce the credibility of Johnson’s claims. First, at the time of Johnson’s
statements to FBI, Jeffrey Epstein was not yet the infamous public figure he was to become. Thus,
if Johnson had fabricated the incident in an attempt to embarrass Donald Trump politically—as
President Trump’s campaign claimed—it is unclear why she would have made Epstein the primary
and slightly more violent perpetrator in her account
Trump was running for office when this accusation occurred in 2016. And his relationship with Epstein was already known. Remember Epstein had already been in trouble for under age sexual assault prior to 2010.
I want to be clear, I’m not saying Katie Johnson is or isn’t real. I’m just saying it’s not the nail in the coffin that we think it is.
I mean we all knew this i thought
The average American Trump supporter is a gun toting, neoliberal, bear shooting, death penalty supporting, misogynist, who believe that LGBT people should be stoned to death Old Testament style, a white supremacist, anti-vaccine, climate change denying, anti-evolution, anti- science, flat earth believing, pro-life, anti- intellectual, sanctimonious evangelical Christian, Islamophobic bigot. Chem trail obsessive, xenophobic and a racist. Also ignorant, stupid, perverted and possibly demented.
Your accurate yet unavoidably incomplete list made me reflect on how much the term “pro-life” is inaccurate while also being propaganda spin bullshit. It is literally the term for a policy of the death cult wing of american politics. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but god damn.
I am a nature lover and animal lover. I come from a conservative redneck-ish family and one very strong correlation throughout my life has been that the more conservative somebody is, the more likely they are to openly brag about how much they would NOT spend money to help their own pets. Or even about how they would shoot them (usually a dog) if they ever did X.
But that is part of a much larger package deal where those people define themselves by the things they hate and activities they avoid.
Why do you think Kristi Noem told that anecdote about murdering a dog and a goat?
To appeal to exactly the sort of “manly” shitheads you are talking about.
Even by her own telling, she’s a total asshole. She killed a goat in a blind rage as part of murdering her dog, and then, instead of being the least bit ashamed, she decided to write that down. As if that’s just normal.
https://southdakotasearchlight.com/2024/05/02/noems-dog-killing-was-bad-but-consider-the-goat/
Those pets should pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

I like to say “anti-choice”. Because more often than not, they don’t call people like me “pro-choice” they say “pro-abortion” which is weird…
I like to say forced-birthers.
Which means half of them are worse than that
and also apparently very proud of it
That’s just the average American lol
I would say the average American Trump voter is choose-4-to-10 of those things, but not all at once. (Source: I live in Appalachia.)
Though my I-thought-you-were-mostly-reasonable neighbor seems to be BECOMING a flat earther. He’s already got at least 4 from your list… It’s weird and concerning to watch the delusions accumulate in real time.

I did actually read your original comment… Not sure if you intended to post the same thing a second time. If so, why?
Sorry.
Old news
-Republicans and their media collaborators.
We know. Fucking do something about it.
Yeah. Go ahead. Do it. What are you waiting for?
I don’t live there
Do what
Until this hits Fox, it’s going to be ignored.
Well … ?
We got him!
If I had a dime for every time I heard that over the years, I’d have about tree fiddy.
“The walls are closing in” video on YouTube… a mash up of all the pundits repeatedly insisting his goose was FINALLY cooked, would be hilarious were it not so unsettling and apropos.
EDIT: I went and found it because I had to. Don’t watch this if you still want to feel they finally “got him!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1ab6uxg908

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened 35 times.
I know, that GIF is from 2017 .
I didn’t want to laugh but you made me.
correction is a colossal fucking pedophile
Is this better? 🤣
Let’s just get rid of the “Thank you” bit, at minimum you have to help me with my internet bill after leaving me on hold for no more than a couple hours for that kind of politeness to be warranted.
The no Kings protest in San Francisco was wild
much better
If he had an arsehole transplant it would reject him.
This is just such a strange thing to have to process. Even if you ignore the horror of it, even if you are totally pro child rape….thats just a strange argument to ever have. Normal people don’t have that sort of argument in their entire lives.
And yet we have normal people rationalizing this whole thing. I don’t understand.
And I was told political violence isn’t right.
This I’m sure, is absolutely true.
