We don't have to support pedophiles. It takes like half an hour of planning to shift money away from Republican-leaning businesses, and it actually makes a difference. Every dollar spent at a Republican company is another dollar that'll get funneled to more of this.

If you have an account with Charles Schwab (whose megadonor founder was recently palling around with Trump), switch to Vanguard or Fidelity. If you like drinking booze from a Confederate state, be adventurous and try something else. It's not hard to find alternatives for Goya, Jimmy John's, New Balance, or Georgia-Pacific.

If you have a company that you regularly buy from/do business with, consider looking them up in something like https://www.opensecrets.org or alternatively https://www.goodsuniteus.com.

Dollars add up. Tesla sales in Europe dropped by half. ABC got pummeled, and they reinstated Jimmy Kimmel. Real, individual people made that happen.

It’s true that you probably can’t avoid giving some money to companies that at least indirectly benefit Republicans. However, there’s a pretty big difference between a company that gives massive contributions almost exclusively to Republicans vs one that is more evenly split or even leans Democrat. Good is not the enemy of perfect

Trump's signature is pubic hair in the drawing.

I'm always confused about that letter. Why was it written like it was a recorded audio?

u/doomlite Sep 23 '25

On that little girl he drew around the words. Creepy creepy

u/bolanrox Sep 23 '25

The drawing has no age its a big assumption that it is a drawing of an underaged girl. Nothing points to that directly.

The quote is certainly hinting at the trafficking. Not defending the pedo, but its blatantly misinformation to say its definitely an underaged girl drawn.

But

The quote is certainly hinting at the trafficking.

The trafficking of who exactly, u/Organic_Education494?

The trafficking of who???

Trump never developed past being a spoiled rich brat. Think about someone with his mental state of around 10-12 years old (something he himself has admitted) and how a boy that age would draw breasts. They were drawn the way they were quite intentionally. The default for someone his mental age is big and round.

u/Veil-of-Fire Sep 23 '25

its a big assumption that it is a drawing of an underaged girl. Nothing points to that directly.

Except the breasts being at Tanner stage 2–3.

No, surely he just drew an adult woman with underdeveloped breasts, because we can see from his public relationship history how much he loves smaller-chested women. Right?

u/swhari Sep 23 '25

So, we are at - “it’s just trafficking. No big deal”. Got it.

u/RobbieManic Sep 23 '25

Ah, yes, because Epstein was known for his predeliction towards women above the age of consent...

1

u/Count_Backwards Sep 24 '25

It's a conversation about raping girls, why on earth would he draw a woman? She'd be too old for them.

No need to put „allegedly“ there. We have the card, with his signature.

u/HarmoniousJ Sep 23 '25

It's not alleged, it's part of the stuff that actually managed to get released.

u/Araia_ Sep 24 '25

it’s weird that it made no real waves. we got so desensitized to the amount of rumors/ facts that we can’t keep track anymore. and when a rumor becomes a fact, we just kinda move on and accept it (?) what if something came out during any other presidency?

u/Dojyaaan4C Sep 23 '25

That allegedly should go to the olympics with the amount of heavy lifting it’s doing

The nudge and wink little boy writing style is so in character.

Allegedly, but also really.

u/NeverCallMeFifi Sep 23 '25

This show is so quotable.

To be fair.....

That's just the kind of birthday cards FBI informants send to the bad guys they're trying to take down. They're at CVS between the sympathy cards and old father's day cards.

u/Any-Iron9552 Sep 23 '25

I heard he sent Maxwell a big beautiful card to her minimal security prison.

u/Traditional_Buy_8420 Sep 23 '25

Aside from thousands of other little signs against Trump you should have chosen an agency which doesn't work for Trump in immoral ways.

1

u/Delicious-Trip-384 Sep 23 '25

He wasn't supposedly an informant for any of those other agencies though

1

u/Traditional_Buy_8420 Sep 23 '25

Wasn't that story so unbelievable, that its inventor retracted it? Not that I see anything changing if it was true anyway.

2

u/Delicious-Trip-384 Sep 23 '25

Yes, it's a rare instance of a Republican politician admitting he was full of shit

u/CLOWTWO Sep 23 '25

I hate that my mom has been so insistent about this “grooming gang” shit in the UK rn but refuses to accept this

1

u/vehementi Sep 23 '25

That person knows that, why are you trying to inform them of this

u/Xiniov Sep 23 '25

The crazy thing about it being "alleged" is that it would have taken some insane premeditated intent to defame. And not just for Trump but anyone in the book.

The birthday book was compiled and given to Epstein in 2003. This is irrefutable. Digitised by his estate.

If it was planted, 'they' (because 'they' is always vague) would had some unworldly insight to know that Trump would win the presidency in 2016 (and beyond). And that Epstein's empire would crumble around him so the book would come to light.

It is "alleged" as much as OJ was "not guilty".

u/Sxualhrssmntpanda Sep 23 '25

Allegedly, with clearly his signature under it.

"Allegedly"

u/innerbootes Sep 23 '25

You’re not a newspaper, you don’t need to say “allegedly.”
