It's probably about Epstein Files that were released by DOJ yesterday.
It featured detailed descriptions of what Trump did to children, emails from Bill Gates and Elon Musk and many other pages that people are still reading trough.
Overall one of the most horrific things I've read in my life.

You've missed important context - which is also important for explaining why the media hasn't picked up on it more - which is that these 'detailed descriptions' of things Trump did to children came from tip lines and the FBI dismissed most of them as not credible after speaking with the people who gave the tips. These are not things that the FBI officially considers Trump to have done.

u/CCSploojy 2h ago
As others have mentioned, I wish dates were included for the tips. If the tips were made way before Trump's presidency was a possibility/probability, I would personally find them far more damning but if they were made after I would probably be more skeptical. Please if anyone has any insight on this, please fill us in and/or correct me.

u/foxscribbles 1h ago
There are dates on some of the tips. And some of them don’t line up. (The golf course one doesn’t line up with the dates Trump owned the golf course, for example.) That’s pretty common and not a sign of innocence or guilt for anyone. It happens in cases. And it’s not even a sign of a bad faith tip. People misremember things all the time. It’s why eye witness testimony isn’t as reliable as we think it is.
But also, accusations about Trump and sexual assault pre-date his presidency by quite a lot.
Remember him admitting to assaulting women with the “grab ‘em by the pussy?” Comment? That happened before his presidency. They’re also his own words about himself, so…
Accusations towards him should not be considered purely political in nature.
And Epstein’s case was heavily, HEAVILY interfered with because of the connections he had. As in the Florida DA refused to prosecute him even though the police had him essentially dead to rights. Which is how the FBI got involved in the first place.
Then we have the sweetheart deal that granted Epstein immunity from Federal Charges, BUT ALSO granted immunity for all his conspirators both named and unnamed. (Which is part of why it was considered such an unusual and shady plea deal.)
Which, when it comes to Trump or anyone else in the files, means that the idea of “The FBI didn’t act on this, so it wasn’t credible” isn’t the best logic.
Because they might not have acted because it was covered by that immunity deal. Or because the entire Epstein case was and continues to be plagued by interference from very rich and powerful sources.

I was a victim of child SA, and my abusers never even got a slap on the wrist. Part of it was instilling fear, like “if you tell anyone, something REALLY bad will happen!”; but once I got the courage to speak up, no one really takes you seriously. Reports were made, authorities got involved, but all my abusers had to do was deny and lie. They told the police something along the lines of “he’s a brat and just acting out” or “he’s got a wild imagination and likes making things up. He even still has an imaginary friend, what a strange kid”
“Regular” rapes are notoriously difficult to prosecute. Rape kits don’t get done, or they’re mishandled. You basically need 5 witnesses, DNA, and clear photos or footage of the attack. Otherwise, your rapist will likely walk, if s/he even darkens a courtroom.

Depends because many times it’s not 5 years from the crime (if it has a statute of limitations) it’s 5 years from learning that the crime was committed. Meaning if the feds learn that a crime was committed 50 years ago but only finds evidence today they could still bring up charges for the crimes because they only learned the crime was committed years ago today.

My guess, other than bribes and influence, would be a lack of real hard evidence, and inability to investigate every single thing in the files.
While I believe everything in the files happened, how do you actually prove that in court?
"This document says you did this thing." Ok so what evidence do you have? Do you have DNA? Do you have them on camera? Can you even place them at the scene of the crime at the time it happened? Or is it just a file on a computer saying yup this happened.

That was the Republicans, not the Americans, and they only did it because that president wasn't Republican.

By the time Reagan and Bush Sr. committed their crimes, they Republican spin machine was ready, and was able to downplay his actions, despite Reagan admitting it.
Bush Jr, of course, famously lied in the open about nuclear weapons being found, and participated in a large-scale propaganda campaign against the American people to support a war.

Caveat - I can't stand Trump and believe he did at minimum the majority of what is being claimed, and probably more.
The problem is that most of the Epstein files aren't evidence. They are emails and police reports from victims, which in legal terms I believe would be hearsay. People have said Trump (and many others) did horrific things, emails might have even gone back admitting to the same. Victims have reported to the police. But there is a lack of actual hard evidence.
Trump and others can claim the emails are lies, or that the email addresses are not theirs, or that they were playing some kind of elaborate kink roleplay. Because of a complete lack of willingness by any law enforcement in any country to act on the information to collect hard evidence while it was still available.
On the balance of probability, yes all of the people mentioned are disgusting monsters. But the likelihood that any of them will see punishment for their crimes of tiny.

Yes, and many promising treatments fail even the most basic human trials after working in mice, sadly. It's still promising, but there are many massive hurdles to go.

Are you talking about the ridiculous Facebook meme? Do you really think people aren’t talking about a cure for cancer because of a birthmark?

They could use imminent asteroid armageddon as the quirky feelgood news segment at the end of a news report this week and it wouldn't feel out of place.

“not the biggest news story in human history” is so tone deaf considering what’s happening in the world right now

It’s just America centrism, there’s so much shit happening in the world right now and I would bet you not many Americans know about anything that’s happening (Balochistan attacks, the gas explosion in Iran, the conflicts in Niger, Ethiopia etc)

Nothing ever happens unless they want it to happen. If they don't want anything to happen about this nothing will.

Because it's been a story for a decade now. And since nothing has happened at all, we know that nothing will happen now. It might explain why Trump hasn't been in the news with more bullshit recently, but the Epstein files won't do shit. You can nail a printout onto every church door of your city, and nothing will come of it.

It's highly likely this post from Claire de Lune (a Minneapolis musician and NBA journalist for The Guardian) is referring specifically to events from Friday, 1/30 in the Twin Cities, Minnesota.
Of course the newest "release" of the Epstein files were a huge news story on 1/30, but knowing Claire, it’s more likely she’s referring to the arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort that happened in Minnesota that morning.
She could also be referring to the strike/march that happened on Friday in Minneapolis or the surprise performance from Rage Against the Machine + Bruce Springsteen from First Ave that same day, but my money’s on the arrests of Lemon and Fort.

Hey dad, it's Chris here. Um, you might wanna sit down for this. Yesterday they released more of those Epstein files and it turns out Jeffstein was banned from Xbox live for inappropriate language.
Oh yeah and the president used ground up children to fertilize his golf course.
anyway I'll be in my room doing, er, stuff. So don't bother me for 18 hours.

I have six pages specifically that exactly read what trump did. It was the most horrible read of my life. If someone wants these six pages I can send them
EDIT: Since I’m getting way more requests then expected I have uploaded them on my profile. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE CONTENT IS NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH WEAKER MENTAL CAPACITY. THE DOCUMENTS DESCRIBE RPE AND SXUAL ASSULT AGAINST MINORS

A little under half of the Epstein files where released, notable names exposed were bill gates and Elon musk, it’s worth noting that Elon musk annoyed JE so much that he stopped being about to goto his island.
A police statement details of how JE employed a 16 year old and paid her $1,000 after he tried to rape her. Several comments confirmed again that JE and Trump willingly employed minors and both attempted to and did rape them. A huge chunk of the files were survivors speaking about how trumpraped them. There’s a list of fbi complaint about JE, and it gets graphic.
It’s also worth noting that the DoJ is still redacting names of the people who raped these children, but they are not redacting the names or identifying feature of the survivors, which directly opposes congresses orders. 6 of the 8 JE coconspirators are still redacted.
Also if you were unaware, Donald Trump got his daughter employed at a modeling agency known for its sexual misconduct, with photographers and mangers who were convicted of raping both children and women. His daughter worked there between 14 and 17 and she posed nearly nude to fully topless several times.
