This happened the same day the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee rick-rolled their base over the Epstein Files.

Almost seems like a deliberate effort to troll the rubes who believed them.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

Trump panders to his new best friends: tech bros, gym bros and incels

silent-skies.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Perhaps it’s because the left isn’t violently rioting, no matter what they do—and so there’s no excuse for invoking the military. So they are going after their own base for that inspiration now.

I guess they needed a replacement for Epstein's parties now that Diddy is in jail

The rubes are way too stupid to spot they're being trolled though. Which is a shame obvs.

It’s all a big joke to them. All of this.

As with all else, it’s only bad when Dems do it.

pbcf.bsky.social•13 hours ago

That’s because the Trump family utilize their services. They love them young just like they loved Epstein’s girls and boys. That’s the Trump family big business in that.

Gym has an affinity with everyone else who gets away with it

philosophiejane.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Because everything they claim to stand for is projection. "We're anti human trafficking" just means they are pro-human trafficking (unless it's a fetus, apparently).

MuskTrump treats its followers with the deepest contempt. Over and over and over. It’s the dog theory of fascist cults. Treat them like a dog, and they will follow you forever.

MAGA is misogynistic and pro-rape. Everyone who supports it is pro-rape.

I think a vast majority of the rubes are a touch too dumb to connect the dots. Wish I was kidding.

what happened the America first idea? Why is he involved messing things up everywhere in the world and bringing more criminals here?? WTH

I thought the current administration was dedicated to keeping violent immigrants out to the US. I wonder if this violates the Laken Riley Act?

The more I see of the Republicans revealing their grift, corruption, & laughable inability to govern, the more I think that James Carville is correct - let them destroy themselves, they don't need the Democrats help to do so.

kate62.bsky.social•15 hours ago

But so much destruction in the process. It will take decades, if ever, to rebuild our country and democracy. And they'll all walk away like the Dracos in Harry Potter and never look back.

kbeveridge.bsky.social•15 hours ago

True. Unfortunately Trump nor Musk give a shit about the destruction, nor do they care about the rule of law. The upshot is, even if the elected Dems fight them, the playing field is tilted towards those who don't play by the rules. A motivated grassroots defiance is necessary.

MAGA is the sickest, most perverse, most heinous political movement since forever. German Nazism used to be the standard.

Apropos of who knows…

This thing from the Penn Relays is hanging up in my local high school.

I took a picture of it a couple weeks ago.

Wonder why it occurred to me now?

brookshoffos.me•17 hours ago

This is absolutely disgusting. Using a rickroll to mock the release of Epstein files is a slap in the face to survivors and anyone demanding the truth. This is how they choose to wield power. Not for justice, but for pathetic stunts that downplay serious crimes. Brutal!

Jordan is either going to cover it up or exploit it

bjc860.bsky.social•16 hours ago

The fact that it's Jordan behind the account is just the chef's kiss.

OTOH, he usually pretends to not know anything about sexual abuse, so maybe this is a positive, albeit still abhorrent, step in the right direction.

I'm glad the people in charge seem to be sober and sane. That's really what I'm looking for here.

Sober and sane.

You might even say they’re stable geniuses.

Thanks. I was wondering what that was.

It’s what you would do if you’re no longer worried about winning elections.

mzmazz.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Well at least we now know where the "Sex Trafficking cabal" leaders are, and it's not in the basement of a pizza restaurant in D.C. (which btw doesn't have a basement)
