Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

"So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions," X user Liam Nissan shared in a post viewed 6.8 million times as of publication.

For the Epstein files currently available on the DOJ website, they demonstrate colossal stupidity! If you highlight the black-box redactions, you can copy-paste into a text doc (Word, etc) and read exactly what DOJ tried to redact. It's all there. krassencast.com/p/breaking-w ... [image or embed]

It is possible that some in the FBI assigned to covering up for Trump are "redacting" the files in a way that is easily reversible. Presumably not everyone in the FBI is OK covering up for a pdf raypist.

The FBI agents were hired to catch criminals, not help cover up crimes.

It should be noted that the law is clear on what should be redacted, so over-redacting could be breaking the law. Unfortunately, they put no penalties into the law.

On the other hand, I've seen mention of Inherent Contempt, where AG Bondi could be fined for not following the law.

The funny thing is you useless turds thinking this was done accidentally. All the Epstein file releases have done so far is totally exonerate Trump and expose rich Jews as the main targets of the Epstein blackmail operation - and the reversible redactions have just reinforced this point. The next batch will start to show more Mossad ties.

You ------- liberals have been screaming that the files would prove Trump is a pedophile and he was withholding them to protect himself. Well, we have the files and they don't include anything even slightly damning against Trump.

Of course, we told you -------s this would be the case because if there was ANYTHING DAMNING, the Dems would have leaked it in 2020 or in the run up to 2024.

Or perhaps you are distracted by Trump's drawing in Epstein's Birthday Card of a, um, nubile female figure, and his reference to their, 'secret'?

Or perhaps you ignore Epstein's telling his Pedo Pimp Mistress that Trump was, 'the dog that didn't bark' about 'the girls' to the Authorities.

Trump and Epstein were best friends, both had, 'modeling agencies', and both, 'liked them young', as Trump put it.

These files put Trump on the plane and at the island many more times than he's admitted.

But I mean, why would a man who has paid off a couple of dozen sex assault suits and been convicted of sexual assault ever be suspected of also using Epstein's services?

"Or perhaps you are distracted by Trump's drawing in Epstein's Birthday Card of a, um, nubile female figure, and his reference to their, 'secret'?"

Not part of the new files dropped - this is months old and Trump is suing over it claiming he did not write it.

"Or perhaps you ignore Epstein's telling his Pedo Pimp Mistress that Trump was, 'the dog that didn't bark' about 'the girls' to the Authorities."

Again, months old and your interpretation is retarded. Epstein wrote this after he tried to set Trump up in a honey pot with Trump spending hours with one of his girls and NOTHING happened. That is what a 'dog that doesn't bark' means - Epstein assumed Trump would fall for the honey pot and he didn't. This is exonerating, not incriminating.

"Trump and Epstein were best friends, both had, 'modeling agencies', and both, 'liked them young', as Trump put it."

No proof of them being best friends and Trump kicking him out of Mar a lago points to the opposite. Regardless, this is DECADES old at this point.

"These files put Trump on the plane and at the island many more times than he's admitted."

THERE IS NOT A SINGLE INCIDENCE of Trump at the Island and YOU KNOW THIS. So, why lie? There is literally NOTHING in the latest drop that states or implies this - this is a whole cloth lie from you.

'In an email dated January 7, 2020, the unidentified prosecutor wrote that flight records showed Trump had flown on Epstein's private jet eight times during the 1990s. Among those were at least four flights on which Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell was also on board.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping late financier Epstein sexually abuse underage girls.

In a social media post in 2024, Trump said he "was never on Epstein's Plane, or at his stupid' Island"."

Here was your claim:

Now, here is your "supporting" evidence:

"'In an email dated January 7, 2020, the unidentified prosecutor wrote that flight records showed Trump had flown on Epstein's private jet eight times during the 1990s. Among those were at least four flights on which Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell was also on board."

So, your posting DOES NOT SUPPORT your original claim because your original claim was a whole cloth fabrication. Not a single thing in the files or even statements from Epstein associates has ever claimed he visited the island - only YOU. So, either provide proof or admit that you lied.

So, once again, you want to admit that you got caught lying?

It is if you are not an illegal or government worker. One of the highest GDP growth rates in 25 years. My stocks are at all times highs and interest rates are moving down so real estate should start to run. Also, liberals have been proven to be morons about tariff driven inflation and the boom from re-shoring will start to kick in early 2026.

With your Cult Leader it's safe to assume that whatever he says is a lie until proven otherwise; especially when he says two things in the same sentence and one of them has already proven to be a lie.

Inflation is way down from the Biden years and any inflation we do see is in services - not goods. In general, inflation is about 2.3-2.5% currently based on an annualized 3 month rate. That is all perfectly consistent with everything that I stated in the past.

"For about three years now I've been reading/watching/listening to all sorts of talk about what was coming because of inflation or bond yield curve inversion or mortgage contract cancellation rates or blah blah blah."

That is because you listen to liberal moron like Paul Krugman still searching for the missing inflation from tariffs - I guess that is an easier grift than admitting they were wrong.

"Nice attempt at a whitewash. You tried to say a 3.1% annualized Q2 result was actually 2.3% because"

Because I am not using time when the country was run by that moron Biden in my calculation. Looking at inflation on a 12 month rolling basis is retarded. You look at the 3 month or 6 month average and annualize it to see the inflation UNDER TRUMP'S POLICIES. You are just butthurt because the hyper inflation you and the other liberal -------- predicted never came true.

Here is a hint for you - I said that the tariffs would be eaten by manufacturers and middlemen - and I have been 100% correct. So, here is the 'why'. A vast majority of the goods imported from China are low value goods with HIGHLY ELASTIC demand curves. Thus, when a tariff is applied, that tariff will be eaten by the manufacturer/middleman because they do not have the power to pass on price increases. This is exactly what has been observed. So, we got 2 impacts - 1.) demand for these goods cratered (people went with substitute products) and 2.) those that continued to sell did so by eating the tariffs - which is seen on the record tariff collections.

Again, this is economics 101 so it is no surprise you and the liberal fools like Krugman completely botched it.

"Yeah, it was overstated as a collapse"

Not just overstating, you are living in alternative world.

"LOL nice non sequiter."

-------
It has been suggested that Trump's apparent "avalanche of lies" consists of ------- rather than of lying as strictly defined.[26][27] According to Harry Frankfurt's influential 2005 book On -------, the liar cares about the truth and attempts to hide it, while the ---------- does not care whether what they say is true or false.[25] Eduardo Porter writes in The Washington Post that Frankfurt's ----------- definition fits Trump: "To subvert the truth, you must first know it, or at least think you do. That's not Trump's game."[27] For example, Trump does not, in Porter's argument, have to check US unemployment or inflation statistics to assert that "we inherited from the last administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare", because for -------, the facts do not matter.

They did nothing of the sort.

The Epstein Files have linked Trump to the murder of his own bastard child by a thirteen-year-old girl, and to the murder of a nineteen-year-old co-ed in Oklahoma that he raped in Texas.

The Epstein victims, each and every one of them, believe that Trump had Epstein murdered in prison.

If you're intent on flacking for that monster, Trump, then you really need to keep up.

The Epstein files are linkable - so, link to the part where it states Trump is killing kids or just admit you are a ------- liar like Zed and Corky.

Speaking for myself, the very first thought that I had when I heard Epstein was dead was that Trump murdered him.

More than sufficient motive and opportunity.

And no one to be a character witness for Trump. Except maybe you, ScootS.

You start with this deficit:

That everyone knows that Trump is capable (as a "man") of rape and murder.

If you'd like to argue otherwise, well....

I would really enjoy reading that.

Donald Trump witnessed infanticide during Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking crimes?

People will be digging into Trump's crimes for the next century, just like Jack the Ripper.

There's a theory that Jack was never caught and punished for his murders because he was high-ranking British royalty.

The analogy to Trump is perfect.

It's the Epstein Files. The thing the entire Republican Congress left town for a month to try and avoid.

I've heard that Trump had 1000 FBI purging the Files.

It's obvious to me now that more of a few of them decided to let certain things go through.

Trump did not meet Epstein until 1987 and this ridiculous woman claimed that this occurred in 1984 based her report which was made in 2020. This has NOTHING to do with the Epstein files - this is just police notes on the typical ------- crazy liberals that invent ---- and call in.

What outright lies?

I haven't seen Zed post anything that wasn't fact-based and grounded in reality.

Your impotent gaslighting doesn't work here where there are people with intelligence who can easily humiliate you.

Perhaps you need to return to Stormfront, scottsh*t. I'm sure they'll welcome you back with open arms

You're welcome.

See now how it starts, Scotts?
Here's the usual Trumpian stance: Maybe true, maybe not, who knows, doesn't matter, nothing to do with me.
But it does have to do with him because he and Epstein were all over each other for ages
That's why Trump and his apologists will be dancing with this one for ages down the road.
Epstein was a gift MAGAts sought, believing it would serve their partisan purposes.
But now that they've got Epstein, suddenly he's got them.
Why the coverup MAGAts?
A little more cream with that schadenfreude, thanks.
Bon appetit!

The infanticide story is real, scotts. I've read it.

It's a tip the FBI received. Doesn't mean it's true, but it is in the files released by the DOJ, so calling people "liars" over it makes you look really stupid.

'In an email dated January 7, 2020, the unidentified prosecutor wrote that flight records showed Trump had flown on Epstein's private jet eight times during the 1990s. Among those were at least four flights on which Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell was also on board.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping late financier Epstein sexually abuse underage girls.

In a social media post in 2024, Trump said he "was never on Epstein's Plane, or at his stupid' Island"."
www.aljazeera.com

We know now that he lied about not being on the plane, but only ScatforBrains knows that the World's Most Prolific Liar isn't lying about the island, too.

#30 | Posted by Corky"

While Scatts obfuscated about the island bit... did he ever address the evidence that Trump LIED about being on the plane? Or that at least half the times he was on the plane it was with the Pedo King's Pimp Maxwell?

I would guess NOT. Perhaps if I'm really bored later I'll let him out of Plonksville and see.

There were so many! It must have been a tough decision.

This juicy file or this juicy file? They all probably started to blend together so they could no longer tell the good stuff from the bad.
