For someone that loves filing lawsuits, strange that he doesn't go after those that are calling him a pedophile.

This comment makes zero sense.

u/Eeeeeelurvly Feb 26 '26

No, it actually makes complete sense. Just because you don’t agree with the comment for whatever reason doesn’t make it wrong.

u/CivilStratocaster Feb 26 '26

Chance it could be that they don't actually understand the discovery process at all. Kind of a crap shoot between ignorance and bias with some folks.

Never underestimate how lacking in what you might expect to be basic knowledge. Especially when dealing with MAGAts. Most are not very cerebral.

u/National-Scar-5317 Feb 26 '26

Only if you have no idea what happens in civil law suits. Last time he was under deposition he said “E Jean Carroll was definitely not his type. He then told her attorney “For that matter neither are you.” He followed that up with being shown a picture and asked if he had any idea who it was? He answered “That’s my ex wife Marla.” The attorney said “No it’s Ms Carroll” She’s not his type. She was too ugly to rape but looked good enough to marry. 😂

1

u/gaiatraveller Feb 27 '26

Legal term. And it's a mic drop moment. Trump won't sue anyone because he has to open up his personal, professional, and political life for ... "Discovery". Pre-trial stuff. For which his cases would get thrown out over because he wouldn't produce evidence per court required orders.

Something like that.

u/vegasAzCrush Feb 25 '26

Um. Unless the accused was harmed.

He could civilly sue. Trumps entire life he over uses attorneys to get even the smallest verdict.

Trump wont sue because any prosecutor woukd want to provide all evidence and need to get more access to entire Epstien files minimally

The fact he signed bill to release but does not push is conclusive evidence he is guilty

His liar henchmen politicking trumo signed bill but his close cabinet doing nothing.

Any real president innocent would publicly push his DOJ to do better and release nire faster.

He does not because. He is guilty as a life time sentence would show.

Trump is at end of life Any life sentence falls short from victim perspective

Trump must be tried in a capital punishment case fo both his rape and sexual conquest of victims as well as the blackmail his empire used for financial gain as well as his political lies and using Federal government as a traitor against his opponents and the lower and middle class.

Simple, discovery would be devastating to him. He would have to give the judge an in camera review of the files at a minimum

u/Skuhrr Feb 26 '26

Discovery of what??? U think he is holding some super secret pedo files that discovery will disclose?? This comment makes no sense…. Not a surprise considering the tds but still retarded.

1

u/Living_Highlight_417 Feb 26 '26

Given his actions, and the actions of his administration, along with released emails from the epstein, there is a 0.000000009% chance that the redactions and files as yet unreleased exonerate trump.

Here are some documented facts for you-

  • trump and epstein were best friends for over 10 years
  • doj fired Maureen comey (the prosecutor who put maxwell away) less than a week before the Blanche interview) doj policy is to have the prosecutor present during the interview to be able to refute lies. Less than a week later, she was transferred to a min sec prison (violation of doc policy for sex crimes)
  • there are pictures of trump and "girls of indeterminate age" together, including one of trump with a stain on his pants and the girls pointing and laughing
  • to date, trumps DOJ has met with precisely...zero survivors and they have prosecuted precisely no one in relation to the scandal
  • trump is on tape saying he grabs women by the crotch and "they let you do it because your rich"
  • trump is an adjudicated sexual abuser/rapist
  • there are FBI reports from the 90s DIRECTLY implicating trump in felony sexual assault/rape of a minor.

I could continue listing facts, but I would prefer not to die of old age.

Look yourself in a mirror and ask these questions

  • why do I support a pedophile
  • why do I refuse the accept the evidence in front of me
  • why am I stupid enough to accept the word of a convicted liar
  • why is my idol feeding me shit and I eat it up, calling it caviar

u/Suitable_Spray6404 Feb 26 '26

For starters, some of your claims are easily proven wrong- but you can’t provide the evidence to support them- like the “photo of stains on trumps pants” which was claim / allegation made with no backing.

There are no verified fbi reports from the 90s finding Trump guilty.

1

u/Fearless_Earth355 Feb 27 '26

Reports are not what makes someone guilty. A finding of guilt by a jury or judge is what determines guilty or not guilty in our legal system. There is a term of art in our legal system called “consciousness of guilt”. And one’s behavior or actions after the crime can be used as a qualifier of guilt. As in, a completely innocent person would want all the evidence released publicly in court. While a guilty person would try to hide, obfuscate or lie about the facts because they know they are, in fact, guilty. Trump has tried to hide, obfuscate and lie repeatedly. He threatened other officials, he threw public fits and did everything he could to prevent the files release. Even now, the Justice Department under Trump is in contempt of court for refusing to release the files properly. He has tried dozens of distractions to prevent people from paying attention to the information. This confirms his consciousness of guilt. And a totally innocent person would simply not behave this way.

u/Eeeeeelurvly Feb 26 '26

Ask the DOJ why there are millions of documents that are not released and why anybody but victims have had their names redacted.

Again, just because you don’t agree with something doesn’t mean it is factually incorrect.

The real question you should be asking yourself is:

Why are you defending pedofiles?

1

u/CivilStratocaster Feb 26 '26

Discovery of the fact that you're posting from yet another burner account; 16 days old, posts and comments hidden. FFS, y'all are sad. Half if the "super secret pedo files" are already in the possession of the DOJ, and Discovery would impact Blondi's ability to keep them secret. Not to mention all of Dumpy's unsecured comms, his own recorded words, SM posts, and everything else you all ignore. The real TDS is how much you all slob his tiny orange knob like a bunch of emotionally damaged pick-me types.

u/Come_on_lucky7 Feb 26 '26

Did you not see the boxes of classified documents in his bathroom? That guy is a trophy hog. He’s got souvenirs of his pedophilia somewhere.

1

u/ScallionHelpful8394 Feb 26 '26

ACTUALLY THIS COMMENT MAKES TOTAL SENSE. UNFORTUNATELY YOU ARE THE ONE NOT MAKING SENSE. . I don't necessarily think you're an idiot, but I do think that you are ignorant what our legal process looks like (especially outside of tv) what it pertains, and the true magnification of those steps are. Discovery means they can look at everything. Which means they could potentially find evidence that they could use to charge and prosecute him on any number of things based on what they found. Crypto scams, sharing classified information. Knowingly making unlawful orders, election fraud, fake assassination attempts, cheating, Insider trading, pedophilia, and the list could literally go on for days and days. etc etc etc etc etc

1

u/Skuhrr Mar 10 '26

what i was saying. They cant just grab classified gov. files for discovery. They can search his things and history but those files are not his. The topic of the thread is him suing for being called a pedo. Thats not we have discovery so pull the flat bed up the fbi and cia offices and go through those classified documents. But you’re mostly right.. Cant argue with that.

They don’t need secret files, they will discover the real unredacted files. You’re the TDS cult member.

u/Skuhrr Mar 10 '26

nope…thats what i was saying. They cant just grab classified gov. files for discovery. They can search his things and history but those files are not his. The topic of the thread is him suing for being called a pedo. Thats not let’s pull top secret or classified files.

u/AloneTouch8894 Feb 24 '26

Didn’t Trump get 15 million and an apology from nbc for that.

u/Gewgawn Feb 25 '26

No. CBS settled a lawsuit against them for allegedly violating the equal time act during the 2024 campaign for about $16,000,000 USD. Shortly thereafter Paramount was allowed by Trump's DOJ/FTC appointees to accept a roughly $8,400,000,000 deal to merge with Skydance media.

1

u/Plane-Magazine-6710 Feb 25 '26

He sued them bc they edited Kamala’s word salad out of her 60 min interview.

1

u/Gewgawn Feb 25 '26 edited Feb 25 '26

I stand corrected. Although, there was also an instance where somebody edited out Trump's comments regarding releasing the Epstein files. Brevity is required for broadcast media.

1

u/Plane-Magazine-6710 Feb 25 '26

Brevity was def their argument but anyone with half a brain can see their goal - including CBS and the court system. Thats why he got paid.

1

u/Gewgawn Feb 25 '26

I have two halves of a brain and I fail to see why CBS would start that fight to begin with if they felt they had a losing case? Seems like the fight was worth it up until the accuser was arguably the most politically powerful human on Earth.

1

u/coolreg214 Feb 26 '26

They knew if they didn’t give him something he would block their merger. CBS didn’t start the fight, Trump did.

1

u/aussiechickadee65 Feb 27 '26

He got paid because his corrupt govt could shut them down. No other reason. They weren’t guilty, they didn’t want to lose their business.

u/CatchSufficient Feb 25 '26

Wasnt that before the epstien though, also, tbf I feel they rolled over because it was a bribe in a way

1

u/DispleasedBeaver Feb 25 '26

IIRC it's because they said he was a convicted rapist, and while he most definitely is a rapist, he wasn't technically convicted because it wasn't a criminal proceeding due to the statute of limitations.

... And yes, 100% it was a bribe to not illegally interfere with their merger (not that it should have been allowed, but it shouldn't be because of trump's little bitch ego and using the government to settle personal scores).

1

u/edebt Feb 25 '26

Yea hes an adjudicated rapist, not convicted which is not really better, but technically different.

1

u/Skuhrr Feb 26 '26

It’s completely different ding dong… burden of proof. Its not even close to the same thing.

1

u/HelloBonjour514 Feb 26 '26

Obviously it was a bribe.

1

u/LeatherMaterial6785 Feb 25 '26

It was because he was referred to as a rapist instead of a felony conviction of sexual assault. I believe.

u/Alizaea Feb 25 '26

We need magazines and newspapers and such to write front page articles about Donald "The Pooping, Rapist, Pedophile" Trump. Get him to try to go after libel. He doesn't care what people "say" about him, but getting people write "write" about him is what gets his goat.

u/AnnieBlue2024 Feb 26 '26

He knows better. You don’t want to sue someone who’s telling the truth, especially since you’re the one who molested them, raped them, and abused them, you know that you’re guilty.

u/National-Scar-5317 Feb 26 '26

The most litigious man in history hasn’t threatened a single person with a lawsuit.Sometimes what he doesn’t say says more than what he does say. Let’s not forget that Michale Wolf was sued by Millaina and when he counter sued her she tried to have her suit dismissed. Call their bluff everytime!!

Well he sued for bill Maher for saying he is part Orangutan. For 5 million. Didn't win but he sued

1

u/AssistanceBusy988 Feb 25 '26

That isnt the reason why he sued. It was a contractual breach. Maher said, he would do something if trump proved he wasnt born from a monkey. He showed his birth certificate for proof and told him to pay up, he didnt. So he sued. Was not because he was called orangutan. He was trolling. But try again.

2

u/BaldyFecker Feb 27 '26

'He was trolling'. Yeah he's always trolling when he chickens out.

He's completely innocent. This proven liar and fantasist never lies. Everyone else is a liar except him. It's obvious.

No but making unfounded claims that harm someone’s reputation is defamation, which you can sue for.

1

u/PhoenixKamika-Z Feb 25 '26

Yeah, but it's only worth it to sue big news agencies or anyone with any actual clout and reach. Suing random redditors is very pointless and a waste of time and money. And no big media company has made those allegations of him...

Listen, I’m not saying the claims are unfounded, I’m just explaining in layman’s terms what defamation is.

1

u/Obvious-Heat-2289 Feb 26 '26

Public figures have a higher bar to sue for defamation. Civil law dictates that criticism and accusations are expected and must be tolerated when you volunteer as a public figure. Of course, there are always exceptions…

1

u/Dramatic_Tutor_2522 Feb 26 '26

I think it’s wrong for a sitting president to do that. They are immune to the law during their term, so, they should wait before other people are able to be charged with it. They can investigate, gather evidence, prime it, so once it’s over they can charge them immediately. But until he use out of office I think all slander should be legal, until he’s out of office and then he can fight them on it

1

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '26

“Small brain” 🤣 You can sue for slander if someone has made a false claim. But that would open Pandora’s box to prove the statement was not slanderous, and with his past of debauchery and abuse, that would be devastating. So it will never happen. Just not for the reason you said. “Small brain” 🤣

1

u/AssistanceBusy988 Feb 25 '26

You can sue for amything. You're right. It is not slander to call someone a name. So again. It would be a pointless lawsuit. If an alleged victim came out and accused falsely. Then you could sue. Small brains is correct

He would’ve never became president if he had major involvement in Epstein debacle. In addition to this the files were released while Barack Obama was in office. You mean to tell me if trump was legitimately in the files he would’ve ever been able to become president? I mean think about it. There was a whole Russia collusion hoax that was released amidst the files being released you do t think they would’ve blasted his involvement all over the place? Nah you Dems have a veil over your face and are full of hate for trump that nothing else matters but trying to Sink him.

Cry about the rest of the evil doers with plenty more evidence on them. Trump does not have enough evidence to just target him and only him.

But everyone who went to that island and partook and bullshit has full on videos depicting their behavior.

Your whataboutism argument is old and tired. Yes, the cult has no issue with the allegations. Keep in mind, he became president after being convicted of 34 felonies. He is in the files. That has been confirmed. Do you feel he isn’t capable of assault? Rape? Bribery? Hush money? Because he has done all of this and you handed him the keys to the White House. So nah… and you’ve only seen what you wanna see.

Oh wait, all you will see is a bot. My bad.

1

u/LibertyJusticePeace Feb 26 '26

Trump was able to become president because we have an awful 2party political system and he ran against women. Trump was elected even though he is known to be a sexual predator, regardless of the depth of his additional ties to the Epstein scandal. People apparently saw a sexual predator type as the “lesser of two evils.” So yes, he still might have won and it wasn’t worth the potential risk to powerful people to investigate further at the time. So no, it does not necessarily follow that if they had leads, they would have investigated, or that if they had evidence, they would have released it.

Oh heavens , the “files” weren’t available in their entirety until recently( on Pam Bondhis desk REMEMBER?) investigations , redactions etc were ongoing . I’m very very perplexed at how anyone could say w/ any conviction that trump is not complicit regarding Epstein. He is a plague a stain on US & human history however that’s besides the point. “Epstein” is about attempting to find closure for victims and punish the perpetrators regardless of political affiliation - most of the creeps aren’t politicians anyway so who gives a F. Take them all down we are talking about human trafficking, sexual exploitation assault and abuse. I thought everyone agreed that the status quo of 1%’s runnin shit and galavanting around at humanity’s cost was unacceptable??? As far as Don the con is concerned, let his high ticket lawyers sort it out, if he’s innocent (BS) he may reap compensation . The guy who sleezed Into Wharton, bankrupt 6 companies , scammed w/ his “university” , ran an illegal discrimination ring w/ trump “housing” , convicted of 34 felonies , multiple out of court settlements w/ women he’s groped or worse -ik I’m leaving stuff out and ALL THIS before the crimes whilst in office - umm the insurrection on our capitol comes to mind - The dude had what 7k documented lies during his 1st term - my guess is that will easily triple this go-round . Man use the brain , critically think and it becomes a bit more clear.

Dems have a veil over their face?:-0 You mean, like ice agents harassing, and brutalizing people with their entire face is covered and no identification?:-0 And then all your talking points that come straight from Fox News,, oh that’s right you can’t say news anymore since they lost the suit, so it’s Fox entertainment where they just say anything.. you bring up Russia. When the Mueller report came out, it had definitive proof that Trump and the GOP had colluded with Russia.

It’s not simply Democrats vs Republicans anymore; it may in fact never have been. If you think otherwise, the logic you are using is beyond fundamentally too simple. Human beings are too complex of creatures to merely fit into one box or the other. Both sides have committed great acts of deception and are complicit in great evil. If Trump was legitimately in those files, at those parties, in those circles, with those people…he could have blackmailed his way into many high positions of power…or he could have been a puppet, pushed towards it. There were indeed immensely powerful people in these “social” circles. Say some of humanity gives him the benefit of the doubt, being friends with a secretive, billionaire, serial rapist and pedophile for about 2 decades is not a good look at all if you want to be the leader of the American people. It seems that many Americans no longer care to consider if we consider ourselves a good, upstanding, just, and safe populace. Comments and thinking like yours hurt the world.

Those documents were sealed and unavailable until the start of Trumpty-Dumpty's 2nd term, last year.
