It's pretty funny that none of the conspiracy theorists can make the logical inference that Trump - who was President at the time and was a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein for years - was actually the one who ordered him to be killed.

Reposted from The Daily Beast

The FBI director left MAGA social circles fuming on Thursday after he flatly shot down a long-held Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory.

one thing that fucked me up was realizing conspiracism isn't broken logic by dumbasses, it's just a form of bigotry. But that also takes the fun out of learning all the little theories.

All conspiracy theory roads eventually lead to the antisemitic event horizon

The be fair to them, they are deeply, deeply stupid people.

eddy-comrade25.bsky.social•10 hours ago

That's just too dumb, even for him, to wait for him to be caught and then do it.

In fact, the person or country which has more to lose orchestrated this, we all know that.

zenosanalytic.bsky.social•8 hours ago

yeah. This was really one of those moments that made it crystal clear that conspiracism is conservative agitprop, rather than just kooky apolitical ideas.

kevinkleinpdx.bsky.social•1 hour ago

they still talk about Vince Foster

zenosanalytic.bsky.social•32 minutes ago

^^^ Yup
and McVeigh's "reasoning" for blowing up the Murrah building are just mainstream Republican politics now |:T

If I wanted to kill Epstein, would I have not 1, but 2 of the people involved in getting him out of prison in my administrations?

comicbooksdanny.bsky.social•17 hours ago

hey it’s not like the president is the guy in charge of federal prisons or something

mumbly-joe.bsky.social•9 hours ago

the federal bureau of prisons is famously lousy with Clinton loyalists

cargoweasel.com•17 hours ago

There’s no way he’d be able to keep that quiet

comicbooksdanny.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Okay but how much do you wanna bet, if a reporter asked him flat out “did you have Epstein killed,” he would shrug and give an answer that STRONGLY implies that he had Epstein killed

cumaeansibyl.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Even if he didn't!

cargoweasel.com•9 hours ago

he’d post AI images of a muscular version of himself strangling Epstein in his jail cell

megamaster1021.bsky.social•17 hours ago

So MAGA is mad because he didn't say he thinks democrats put a hit on him

huge-jackedman.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Didn't bill Barr visit him the day before he died? It's not even a complicated conspiracy!

sfaccountant.bsky.social•6 hours ago

More importantly, it was Barr who investigated the suicide and declared it was all just a big, legit screw-up.
If randos speculating on the internet can figure out The Truth, then why couldn't he? He would either have to be an imbecile or complicit.

huge-jackedman.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I think the truth is he killed himself. It's remarkably easy if the guards don't give a shit and he doesn't seem like the type who'd want to give up his lifestyle.

But if there is a conspiracy its obviously trump that did it.

sarcasmodemiami.bsky.social•4 hours ago

The folks who think Epstein was murdered are conspiracy mongers with a tenuous grasp on reality who should be shunned.

huge-jackedman.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Eh I don't know if they're mongers. It's not a hard one to believe, especially if you don't know how prisons are run and how common suicide is in these situations.

danielwbrody.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Well, you are asking conspiracy theorists to follow logic instead of backfilling a cinematic universe that leaves them and their dear leader right about everything. The last thing they want to hear is that they've been duped by very obvious lies.

chowdster.bsky.social•4 hours ago

As the former owner of the teenage Miss America beauty pageant, I just don't see Trump having that kind of lurid character to have done anything salacious with Jeffrey Epstein.

prodigyxspectre.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Or the equally likely case that no politician killed him at all, and it was either a genuine self-necking or one of the hundreds of non-politician business owners that had him whacked

tobias-drundrige.bsky.social•17 hours ago

It's right up there with Twitter censorship and lockdowns in 2020. People really want the Biden admin to be exactly 5 years retroactive.

patart00.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Or, and here's a thought, epstein committed suicide.

whisperingpines.bsky.social•10 hours ago

That would require Trump to be extraordinarily competent at keeping his mouth shut and hiring someone who could execute a perfect assassination to make it look like a suicide

ryanwithcupcake.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Or for him to forget about it since it happened after 1995.

sikolnam.bsky.social•1 hour ago

How conspiracy addled am I if I think this is probably what happened?

highpriestcobra.bsky.social•17 hours ago

his labor secretary was the one who made sure epstein walked free the first time

johnpontoon.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Proud of the Daily Beast for quoting a rando on X saying, “Do you remember seen Ehud Barak entering Epstein house in NYC?” They’re are journalisming this story but good.

jakegotta.bsky.social•17 hours ago

It’s very seriously the most logical non-suicide option!

psgamer92.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Would make me question why he didn’t have the same thing done to Ghislaine though.

bill-of-lefts.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Never even considered this but uh. Yeah. Makes sense.

rev-avocado.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Dems should have jumped on this but they didn't and also many of the leftist podcasters actually love Trump, so instead we got Clinton fanfic.

sfaccountant.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I for one would appreciate if Democrats stuck to the many likely and/or proven cases of corruption and wrongdoing and leave conspiracy theories to the Stupid Party.
