    A clip from 1992 isn’t new. If you’ve got new details, spill 'em. Right now he’s just saying what everyone else had been saying for years.

    Isn’t this all footage that we’ve known about for a long time?

    Just to be clear, I felt like we shouldn’t be electing a creepy rapist that hung out with Epstein even before he got elected the first time. I never thought we would somehow do it twice, especially after he almost killed us all the first time around, but c’est la vie, I guess.

    Just wonder how much of this is just a reality TV/wrestlemania style distraction IRL. Like what does it really change that Elon is reposting information we already knew?

    Like there is other big shit going on with Israel, Gaza, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, and the EU going on right now but nobody is really talking about it bc we are paying attention to Elon re-screening videos of Trump/Epstein that we’ve already seen.

    Both too proud to de-escalate the situation. What the hell are they even arguing about? They’re both children in suits.

      Trump was mentored by Roy Cohn. Cohn was Joe McCarthy’s attack dog and had a reputation as the most vicious lawyers in New York. Cohn was the guy who taught Donny to make contracts with mid level businesses and then stiff them.

      Trump repaid these lessons by abandoning Cohn when he found out Cohn had AIDS

          I remember an old black and white movie where one pirate saves another’s life.

          I can’t recall the exact line, but it was something like “I had to save you; you’re the only other person I’ve ever met who is as evil as I am.”

            Courtesy of LLM:

            Could be the 2003 Disney movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl? Not black & white though.

            It’s spoken by Captain Hector Barbossa (played by Geoffrey Rush) to Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) during a tense moment on the island. The full exchange is:

            Barbossa: “You’re a cruel one, Jack Sparrow. You’ve doomed us all!”
            Jack Sparrow: “Not all of us.”
            (Elizabeth then shoots Barbossa with a pistol.)
            Barbossa: “I had to shoot you, darling. It’s nothing personal. You’re just the only person I’ve ever met who is as evil as I am.”

            Could be the 1940 pirate film “The Sea Hawk”, starring Errol Flynn and Claude Rains.

            In one scene, the villainous Captain Thorpe (played by Claude Rains) says to the protagonist, Geoffrey Thorpe (Errol Flynn), something along the lines of:

            “I had to save you—you’re the only man I’ve ever met who’s as big a scoundrel as I am!”

            Another possibility is “Captain Blood” (1935), also starring Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone, where rival pirates exchange similar banter.

            Other options are:

            • “The Black Swan” (1942) (with Tyrone Power)
            • “The Buccaneer” (1938) (with Fredric March)

        I don’t know any of these names but I bet this was a smart comment. I just know too little.

    I had forgotten about the very obvious and forcefully grabbing and groping. Trump is now no longer a term in a card game. It’s the term we now have to use for lower than garbage.

      I hope something rash does happen. Like, the kind of rash thing that cuts the number of idiots in this feud in half. Enemy of my enemy and all that.
