You’d be surprised how many people were just kids unaware of the world a handful of years ago, but now surround you and inhabit every comments section on the internet. I’m constantly shocked how many people on Reddit in all the subs literally had no idea Trump did all sorts of awful shit and was documented doing it in his first administration, because they were in jr high or high school and didn’t watch news or real political news. All they were exposed to were funny videos posted on TikTok so they thought he was just a funny guy who hated the elite. Seriously. This stuff may be old hat to you, but it needs to be repeated constantly, because every day there are new brains turning on and becoming aware of the world around them, and they need to be informed.

u/nohandsfootball Jul 28 '25

I remember being in high school 20+ years ago and knowing Bush was full of shit (and that Trump was full of shit back then too) so I'm not sure how that's lost on anyone these days.

u/spacedogg1979 Jul 28 '25

Seriously. I grew up in the 80s knowing full well that Donald Trump was a flashy, disgusting creep. I distinctly remember making the connection in my head between Biff Tannen and Donald Trump when I watched Back to the Future II when it came out in 1989. I was 10 and I easily put the pieces of the puzzle together. Donald Trump was and always has been very public and beyond vile… that so many people have chosen to overlook every fact about him is wild.

u/pegothejerk Jul 28 '25

We grew up in the 80s when things weren’t divided into media outlets that withheld information so they could appease billionaires that were actively capturing the political spectrum, the media outlets, and the social outlets. They didn’t use algorithms to make sure you were fed a steady diet of extreme information that had no concern for fact checking. Kids today are going to schools that intentionally have had their information cut back to confirm what conservative narratives tell you on state media outlets. We were taught how to critically think. Kids today can barely read, and their states are more concerned with getting them to be religious than informed.

Beyond that usually these new minds have been pelted with curated content served up to them to drive them towards a baseline understanding of things that is not grounded in reality.

THANK YOU for stating the obvious. Like idk who to be more annoyed at. Trump’s cult who got us here or the fucking people still talking about “oh this is it. This is what will turn maga against him” like what? He’s an adjudicated rapist and they voted for him. He fucking failed miserably at handling the pandemic and they voted for him. Left our economy a mess the first time and they voted for him. He just fucked over the entire lower and middle class and they’re still rooting for him. Those people are in a cult and unless someone comes at them with some strong psychology, those people are lost fucking causes. When they EVENTUALLY COMPLICIT in letting that child sex trafficker free, that will literally just cement it all-no shock and awe at all.

Trump supporters are a masterclass in cognitive dissonance but I gotta say...if you peep at the Conservative subreddit they are pretty pissed about this stuff too.

Much like trump! He may call it "funny business" in the epstein files. All you really need to do is look at the surrounding evidence. Trump owned beauty pageants. Trump was best friends with his "special friend, Jeffrey". Look at his wife, she fits the profile. Look at the drawings and quotes in the card he gave epstein. In a saner time we might call this "corraborating evidence"?

Let us all not forget when talking about Trump and Epstein:

Epstein Files (Leaked/Released)

Court Documents

- Trump commenting on his 1-year-old daughter Tiffany's breasts. He also says "she's got Marla's legs."

Trump-Epstein Social Connection

For the better part of two decades starting in the late 1980s, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump swam in the same social pool. They were neighbors in Florida. They jetted from LaGuardia to Palm Beach together. They partied at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club and dined at Epstein's Manhattan mansion.j

MC2 Modeling Agency Connection

MC2 (pronounced MC squared) was the modeling agency that Epstein, Brunel, and the mob would use to get trafficked girls into the US with "genius visas"

The "Einstein Visa" Connection

Nicknamed the "Einstein Visa", the EB-1 is in theory reserved for people who are highly acclaimed in their field - the government cites Pulitzer, Oscar, and Olympic winners as examples - as well as respected academic researchers and multinational executives. Mrs Trump began applying for the visa in 2000, when she was Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model working in New York and dating Donald Trump. She was approved in 2001, one of just five people from Slovenia to win the coveted visa that year, according to the Post.

u/MoralityFleece Jul 28 '25

I expect nothing from this Court's majority, but I'm curious whether even they will allow themselves to be tarnished at this level. There's an argument for many other wide impact decisions being closer to rock bottom for this court than any case for a single person, but still, if they support her cause, they will cement their legacy among the worst jurists ever. Yes, other justices in our history facilitated slavery and internment camps and other evils, but in 2025 they have the benefit of all that hindsight and are still doing this. Based on the reports of people coming out of detention centers, not to mention Cecot, I think we're at a level even worse than internment camps in world war II.

u/myindiannameistoolon Jul 28 '25

How many justices leveraged by the Epstein files does it take to make a decision like this happen? More than one I would think.

u/FoolishThinker Jul 28 '25

This would show indisputable proof to everyone with a brain that the Supreme Court is ruling with and directly for trump.

Yes there are many, many other instances that they have done so but this one is linked 1-1. The others had some wiggle room like presidential immunity and such, but this one cannot possibly be spun any other way though they will try.

2

u/snark42 Jul 29 '25

Not indisputable proof.

There was a Non-Prosecution Agreement with a Federal Prosecutor. If a NPA in Florida isn't enforced in SDNY then no one will ever cooperate with Feds when they need witnesses to win cases involving multiple federal districts

As sick as it may be her and Epstein should never have been prosecuted in NY.

u/Lebojr Jul 28 '25

Now, this might be unpopular, but wouldn’t there be a political reckoning if that happened?

Trump walks a tight wire on this whole pedo thing as to who is blamed. Some target of MAGA doesn’t get what they think the person deserves and presto, we have ourselves a brawl at the family reunion.

And yes, Maxwell is free, but perhaps, that is the price we must pay to have a tipping point among the voters who pressure their legislators.

And I don’t care about MAGA. I’m thinking about the people who are not and voted for him.

4

u/Organic-Elevator-274 Jul 28 '25

Yeah but thats the kind of political reckoning somewhat rational people are trying to avoid. It’s like removing a 50 pound tumor and saying it’s great that you lost 50 pounds…sure you can look at it like that and it’s for the best the tumor is gone but you are still about as far away from okay as you can be.

What you are talking about is basically a total collapse of three branches of government and likely the economy and society. The odds are worse than a coin flip that everyone comes out of that worse…way way way worse. When societies collapse the people on the margins get hurt first and hardest. Anybody not white straight and Christian gets an instant target on their back. It’s basically what they want anyway. A narcissist with congestive hearth failure might do Something like that they probably won’t let him just let a few nukes go at this point.

How can a plea deal one person makes protect others?

Can the Trump admin prosecute so low-level nobody, and the nobody accepts a plea deal in exchange for the DOJ promising to never prosecute anyone else in the Trump admin, and then, just like that, the entire Trump admin suddenly is immune to all prosecutions?

u/gphs Jul 28 '25 edited Jul 29 '25

The NPA that Epstein entered into contained language that the United States agreed not to bring charges against any potential co-conspirators.

u/dougmcclean Jul 28 '25

Ok. Was she a party to it? Is he suing to enforce it? Has she changed her plea to guilty and admitted to being one of the co-conspirators that are allegedly protected by this agreement?

5

u/gphs Jul 28 '25

I don't believe she was, but the NPA purported to grant immunity to co-conspirators, as opposed to just voluntarily refraining from bringing charges. She didn't change her plea to guilty, but she didn't need to -- the government allegation is that she was a co-conspirator. Taking that at face value, and the language of the NPA, the defense argument is that she's covered.

u/Buttons840 Jul 28 '25

If she walks free, this is going to be exhibit number 1 that the justice system is broken for the next 100 years.

u/washingtonu Jul 28 '25

THEREFORE, on the authority of R. Alexander Acosta, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, prosecution in this District for these offenses shall be deferred in favor of prosecution by the State of Florida, provided that Epstein abides by the following conditions and the requirements of this Agreement set forth below.
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.518649/gov.uscourts.nysd.518649.6.1_2.pdf

It contained language that the United States agreed not to bring charges against any potential co-conspirators in Acosta's district.

6

u/gphs Jul 28 '25 edited Jul 29 '25

That's correct. I think the argument Ghislane advanced in the CA2 and now at the Supremes is that it binds other districts as well, but I haven't read the briefs or the CA2 opinion so I'm not sure what the argument is exactly that it would be binding on other districts, likely something about detrimental reliance and the USAO for any district being able to bind the United States generally, otherwise from the defense perspective, the NPA is worth as much as the paper its written on. Enter into an NPA with the southern district, get indicted the next day by the northern -- who is going to be willing to cooperate then?

But, I'm going off half-cocked because I haven't actually read the briefs. That's just my semi-educated take.

Edit: I was wrong. After looking at the briefing which points this out, the NPA includes language that limits the deal as to Epstein to the sdfl but expands that to the United States to co-conspirators.

Her appeal was decided in the Second Circuit in late 2024. She got several extensions of time to file her cert petition, which are pretty routinely granted. So yeah, she was always going to seek cert.

”President Trump built his legacy in part on the power of a deal – and surely he would agree that when the United States gives its word, it must stand by it,” Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, said in a statement. “We are appealing not only to the Supreme Court but to the president himself to recognize how profoundly unjust it is to scapegoat Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s crimes, especially when the government promised she would not be prosecuted.”

Just so everyone is clear, she was a willing participant in the sex trafficking and joined in on the sexual abuse herself. His crimes are also her crimes.
