    I’ve never been legally accused of eating an entire sleeve of Oreos at 3 in the morning last night.

    I wonder what she knows that hasn’t been made public yet. She’s clearly trying to get out in front of something.

      Apparently she is in a legal battle against Michael Wolff who claimed that Epstein was the one who originally introduced Melania and Trump to each other

      in my estimation it’s more than “knows” just like Ghislane more than “knew.” Given 47’s relationship to Vince McMahon, we know that more than one of his best friends was running a sex trafficking ring. given that it seems an awful lot like Epstein’s relationship to trump was more a B2B relationship than a business to client/customer relationship

    Oddly precise wording. She could have chosen more blanket language and she didnt. She might just as well have held a press conference and admitted she is guilty.

    Up until today I’d just assumed without thinking about it that she wasn’t involved in any of the scummier Epstein dealings, but she’s just done a good job of making me question that.

      They were probably fired becuse the Trumps thought they can do a better job. Just like Musks.

      We have a saying here, “Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall” or the bible:

      „Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.“ (Proverbs: 16,18, KJV)

      fired for not getting the required Mar A Lago face surgery

      ah yes, the bloated face beaten to a pulp under thick makeup look. Classic beauty standard in many conservative countries.

    I know I’ve seen lots of pictures of the Trumps with Epstein and Maxwell, and I know I’ve seen emails between Melania and others indicating that they were at least friends who hung out.

    What I haven’t seen is evidence that Melania was party to the pedo stuff. I assume she WAS party to it, because her own life story screams “sex trafficked, but at a higher class of trafficking,” but i would like to understand KNOWN FACTS about her role in this. Is there a good article somewhere about her part here?

    I ask because there is a scenario where her husband is good/close friends with Epstein, and Melania is playing the role of the Important Man’s Wife by making insincere, surface friendships with the friends’ wives.

    Kind of like mob wives might clique up, even if they don’t actually like each other or enjoy the company, if that makes sense.

        She’s even worse than Epstein, she lured girls over. But lucky for her, she’s in the USA where people like this are protected.

    I’ll bet this is something the founding fathers never saw coming, a thing 45 previous first ladies have never gone before the country to say.

            You could’ve ended that question with the word “kids”, and I kind of wonder why you didn’t. The answer is “Of course not, because nobody has a time machine”.

            Open a god damn history book, holy shit dude. We probably have like 3, maybe 5 presidents total who weren’t pedophiles… absolute best case scenario. You’re whitewashing history just like maga do.

              Okay so it was intended to be snarky sarcasm more than whitewashing anything, but it’s hard to get that across without spelling out my every intention.

              The instant snap judgements thrown by everyone and assumptions about viewpointints and intentions on the internet are exhausting.

                Where did I make any assumptions about your viewpoints or intentions? Judgement, sure I “judged” the comment to be factually incorrect and potentially misleading for others reading it…which is objectively true so idk what you’re getting at there.

                  You said I am whitewashing history like maga does. It is right in your post. That expresses an assumption of an intent to do so. As I said, this was an offhanded stupid comment that really wasn’t intended to spark any kind of stupid debate. I am far from supporting any of the current regime and far from trying to paint some PragerU vision of history, but it sure seems like you assumed I was.

                  I hope you have a great rest of your day.
