Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump at Mar-A-Lago when she was underage, and the future president allegedly laughed when Epstein declared, This is a good one, right?

One of Jeffrey Epsteins first known victims is the last holdout against his estate.
Last January, a California woman identified as Jane Doe filed a lawsuit against Epsteins estate and British heiress Ghislaine Maxwell, who is facing federal charges for allegedly recruiting girls into the financiers trafficking ring.
The complaint accuses Epstein and Maxwell of grooming and sexually abusing Doe for years, starting when she was 13 years old. The former couple met Doe in 1994 at the Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan. (The Daily Beast previously revealed Epstein was a donor to the prestigious school and stayed at a cabin he funded on the property.)
Doe also claims Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump at Mar-A-Lago when she was only 14 years old. This is a good one, right? Epstein asked the future president, who allegedly smiled and nodded before sharing a chuckle with the depraved hedge funder. Does lawsuit does not accuse Trump of any sexual misconduct.

His history shows he's that corrupt, and uses many in his family to funnel money to himself with.

(3,316 posts)trumps poll numbers are going up. If it could be proven trump was involved in any of this with Epstein, quite sure he'd be leading Joe by at least 20 points.
So pissed about these poll numbers, what the hell is going on? Crazy backwards and upside down world we live in?!!

(6,837 posts)But the result cost the US 8 years of progress.
8 years that should have been used making the country:
#1 generator of renewable energy technology
#1 participant in middle east peace
#1 sponsor for worldwide human rights and equality
But because some people are weak minded and require scapegoat excuses for their miserable inability to accept their personal limitations we got a new century of the same bullshit. The rich are too powerful but that's just the nature of that beast. An informed electorate can remedy any problem if their vote is counted.

(6,448 posts)We could go on forever about bin Laden attacking a feeble leader when Gore would have heeded the advice from HIS Condi Rice.
3,000 dead on our own soil in one day, the Homeland Security debacle that followed (creating today's overt attempt at fascism), and starting a war for oil without those big, bad weapons of mass distraction.
At one time, they had those weapons though. We gave them plenty when Iraq had their dust up with Iran--because of our hostage crisis that Raygun's campaign took care of (illegally). We never realized Saddam used them to corral/slaughter his own people.
Every vote should count. Every citizen should vote. That's true democracy.

ALL that followed is on their heads. ALL!
The whole country needs to know that Al Gore won the 2000 election without question. Most of the thinking world has known it since 2001. It's the story even American history professors will lecture.
Giving up to this argument of mundane, charlatan logic is part and parcel to and exemplary and symptomatic of the rot of rationality in our society. It has been way too long since a spade is called for what it is.

But all these reptilians know is greed and excessive power. Or power and excessive greed.
They aren't motivated by anything moral, good and decent.
A great man once said, "You're the devil in disguise!" It could be directed at an entire political party.

(6,448 posts)Just picture them sitting there, watching FOX. Suddenly, the rotary phone rings and there's no caller ID. They take a chance and remove the tinfoil hat so they can hear better.
Is it a Nigerian prince? Is Ed McMahon calling from the grave? Maybe the grandkids got arrested in a foreign country (again).
What to do?

Indeed.
Trump knew of and approved of Epstein's "business" and according to Jeffery
who from his jail stated that Trump let Epstein use his plane to move around
young women. BTW Epstein was dead with 24 hours of making that state,met.

(11,045 posts)Back in 2002, when Jeffrey Epstein was known only as a mysterious financial whiz with a private island and a roster of A-list friends, being friendly with him was something to boast about. And Donald Trump did.
Ive known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy, Trump told New York Magazine that year for a story headlined Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery. Hes a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it Jeffrey enjoys his social life.

And 2 girls have accused Trump of assaults at Epstein properties. One recanted quickly, was probably threatened. The other went to court under an alias, but has been in hiding for years.
Trump was Epstein's partner, he's almost as involved as Maxwell was.

(86,649 posts)That a lot of funders and elected republicans want to avoid exposure too. I think the pee tape is video of a rape on that jet. There was an accusation made several years back but she was bullied into silence, she may be reconsidering speaking up again. Her claim is that he hit her during the rape... maybe more than once. That's what I think the pee tape is. And I think Ghislaine has it.

(86,649 posts)A third of Congress. I recall predicting back in the early days of the Mueller investigation that not only was it all tied to Epstein or through him, and that about a third of Congress could be indicted in collusion with the whole thing. I think there are some really horribly evil people in our government and they need to go.

Florida has a legal requirement to report child abuse, but it only applies to certain professionals. (Teachers, doctors, social workers and some others)

(9,070 posts)...but there have been accusations of Trump partying with Epstein (in addition Don's solo attacks) for years. Some of the journalism, and some of the solid evidence has been poor. Some of the girls identified the Orange Asshole as the one, and some claim there are other witnesses. The coverup has been going on for years; certainly since Epstein was arrested in Florida years ago.
Remember this one?

Furthermore, Jizzlanes real claim to fame is as Epsteins sex trafficker-in-chief. Thats how she should be referred to

(6,265 posts)I will choose to believe it especially knowing that he has always been a sexual predator or at least as long as Epstein has been his buddy. Sad this is prominent people in media and our political parties, guess which one knows this is true but will make sure(McConnell) this information never reaches the light of day in MSM. WAS this before or after Epstein hit on the prominent person's daughter that allegedly got him banned from mar-a-lago. Dates times all suspect. To hell with both of those sexual predators. One did the right thing or was helped to do the right thing to atone for his perversions. Now we have to vote the goon out in November so he can atone for his crimes.
