One image released Friday shows what appears to be a bowl of novelty condoms with a caricature of Trump’s face; the bowl has a sign saying, “Trump condom $4.50,” and each condom bears an image of Trump’s face with the text, “I’m HUUUUGE!”

[Abigail Jackson] She pointed to Democrats who have previously been tied to Epstein through document dumps, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic Del. Stacey Plaskett. Plaskett exchanged texts with Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing. A Democratic consulting group asked Epstein if he wanted to participate in a fundraising dinner with Jeffries in March 2013; Jeffries has said he has no recollection of the message.

Then release the files.

Good. Burn Clinton too, don't give them any of this "but your guy did it too!" shit. Hang Clinton in the middle of times square and see if we care.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I know, this is the dumbest counter argument ever. I've never once seen it work, but people keep saying it

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 hours ago

It's because people who make that argument tend to treat politics like team sports, so they assume everyone else does as well.

[–] saimen@feddit.org 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I heard they already are saying democrats selectively have chosen images to make trump look bad.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 day ago

I hate when people intentionally make me look bad by sharing the pictures of me doing bad things.

[–] Clasm@ttrpg.network 21 points 1 day ago

All images of trump make him look bad...

[–] J92@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh look, Apple. The bad guys do use your shit.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

That's probably the least surprising thing in here

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 63 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Lmao, then release all of them, let's see them all Republicans. You can do that.

“We received over 95,000 photos and Democrats released just a handful. Democrats’ hoax against President Trump has been completely debunked. Nothing in the documents we’ve received shows any wrongdoing. It is shameful Rep. Garcia and Democrats continue to put politics above justice for the survivors,” the spokesperson said.

C'mon, you know theyve already quarantined the good stuff. They'll release a few salacious details, but conveniently, nothing will be actionable.

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Actionable by who? Against who? Summers? Clinton? Congress decides when to impeach and for what reason. That's the only mechanism of enforcement against the president. They don't need to wait for the files to be released they could impeachment today for any reason.

Nothing in the files will be acted upon, in all likelihood. The action the files prompted was Epstein and Maxwell's prosecutions. This is all about public image.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 0 points 16 hours ago

That's what I said, with a lot more syllables.

[–] Dragomus@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago

But trump was never on the island, never left the plane, never was on the plane, never was alone in a room with epstein, never was in the client list, never was on a speed dial, never was on his birthday.
Epstein? That guy? He hardly knew him!

[–] Saarth@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This Jeffery Epstein stuff looks a lot like World Economic Forum more than anything, a circle jerk of the rich and elite.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 16 hours ago

Jesus, worst use of circle jerk..... need brain bleach

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

You can find Larry Summers at both events.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

But Trump has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing, and he and his team have previously derided Epstein as a “creep” whom Trump expelled from his club.

I'm HUUUUGE! Trump's condoms are typical scam of his. And hilarious.

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The man cannot tell the truth, so it's perfectly on-brand.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

“I’m HUUUUGE!”

We got Capone for tax evasion. Trump is going down for false advertising.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Holy shit I thought the “I’m huuuge “ condoms were made up shitposts

I'm not saying Apple products make you a pedophile.

But it clearly helps.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 16 hours ago

I think Apple is long considered premium.

The rich and elite would have nothing else.

They're also the ones who have enough money to travel in these 'circles'.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

100% of famous pedos in finance choose Apple.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 16 hours ago

Probably all rich pedos. for percieved security if nothing else.

Is it bad that I want that era of Mac monitor specifically so I can mod it and use it as a general monitor. Same goes from those clear plastic colored ones.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 12 hours ago

I use one, just standalone to play videos. I'd recommend it, they're really good monitors and decent speakers

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 16 hours ago

a of Mac monitor specifically so I can mod it and use it as a general monitor. Same goes from those clear plastic colored ones.

I think that's specifically an iMac. you can, in fact use them as thunderbolt monitors.

https://iboysoft.com/tips/use-imac-as-monitor-for-pc.html

Cinema displays also looked like that and have separate needs

https://thetechylife.com/how-do-i-connect-my-apple-cinema-display-to-my-computer/

My wife still uses a couple of cinema displays for photography editing, but on mac. Putting them on PC has been hit or miss.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We should employ reverse psychology on Republicans.

We should be like “No, don’t release the Epstein files as it will hurt Bill Clinton (or anyone else).”

Just wait doe the Republicans to release it. Think that terrible Spiderman movie that everyone memed back into theatres.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 3 points 13 hours ago

The problem is that this would work, but only on the masses. And they're the type that isn't going to actually read the files... And have you seen the news lately? Every station sane washes trump and the admin

Anyways, the files are going to be released soon. And frankly no matter what they release, it won't be enough to convince people that they haven't hid the worst of it

We just have to feed fuel to the fire in a few days

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this the Epstein files we've been hearing about?

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It's the trickle before the flood 🤞
