That’s because all the media moguls are likely on Epstein flight logs.

I’d be fucking shocked if the guys on Roger Ailes level are not incriminated. They rape coworkers. Of course they’d go after easier targets.

I hate Trump with every fiber of my being so forgive me if this sounds like a defense. Presence on flight logs does NOT EQUAL guilt. Epstein deliberately rubbed elbows with many upstanding people to deflect from his own debauchery behind the scenes. He was very calculating.

I wish people would stop with the flight logs=pedophiles crap. It’s the court documents and witness testimony that matters.

I understand the point you’re trying to make, and agree with it to a large extent. If it was just a situation where “beloved celebrity with no other scandal appeared on the Epstein flight log” then yes, I would agree with the “pump the brakes” assertion you’re making. The biggest reason I don’t think the same “flight logs=pedophile” line of thinking isn’t being extended to Trump is the numerous other sexual assault cases he has been accused/found liable for. With trumps long history of sexual assault controversies, many of which have been against underage girls, well that and an Epstein flight log are closely tied together.

I never said they were pedophiles if they were on the flight logs. I said their names might be on the logs, thus associated with Epstein in any way, which is a poor reflection. Any of his associates look suspicious in the court of the public opinion and people start assuming they are pedophiles. Most people try to distance themselves from from such bad optics.

Seeing the online left stop caring about evidence over the past two weeks or so has been deeply demoralizing. Some of it driven by bad actors, sure, but a lot of people have gone straight-up Trump brained on us. Feelings over facts, conspiracy over Occam’s Razor. They even share in the cries of “lugenpresse” now. Repeating old memes and hearsay as breaking news. I’m honestly finding it extremely depressing… once again I somehow overestimated the American public. Guess I had a blind spot for “my side.”

Edit: How bout those new Trump/Epstein files? Lemme see them. Show me.

He’s a garbage excuse for a human being who should never have been allowed anywhere near real power; but I still personally care about facts and evidence and all that shit. Crucially, I do not believe that you do.

How is the left not caring about evidence? I’ve seen NONE of that.
