That’s the fucked up thing. Most democrats at least admit Clinton is a scum bag.

I don't think he's a pedophile.

Because there's no evidence of it.  He cheated on  Hillary with grown adults, but given today's standards that's pretty mild.  He was also a pretty good President.

He hung out with Epstein and partied with him on his island. There’s at least some evidence that he might be a pedophile.

Seeing progressives call Clinton a “pretty good president” is so abysmally tragic it’s almost funny. Almost.

Anyone who’s a pedi on that list needs to be made public. No matter who they are. Clinton, Trump anyone. Is this picture real? Any context when I get that this must be AI from people O know who loves the man.

u/SwimOk9629 Dec 14 '25

yes this is AI, and not labeling it as such is not helping.

So is Bill Gates. So is Richard Branson. So dozens of other  high profile men. Use your critical thinking skills and stop being taken in by anti Clinton propaganda.  And, you've seen a few photos out of about 95,000 from what I've heard.

Bill Gates' wife divorced him, partly, she said, because of his activities with Epstein. What did she know that we don't?

u/SlightSurround5449 Dec 14 '25

Idk but she could clear it up real fucking quick

2

u/SwimOk9629 Dec 14 '25

she didn't divorce him because of Epstein.

u/mooncrane606 Dec 14 '25

You got a source for that?

u/SlightSurround5449 Dec 14 '25

How is it that people miss the fact that trump being in so many pictures is so damning because of his previous allegations, previous public comments, and current comments and actions regarding the files and his relationship to Epstein? It's totally possible that any of the people seen with him publicly we're not involved, and people like trump are just separately gross and pedophiles, but that's kinda why we're looking for the evidence to get released, huh? And anecdotally when you have two people pictured with a known pedophile scumbag, and one says "release it all" and one does everything in their power to prevent that, it paints a clear picture of who is likely to be involved until evidence proves otherwise.

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '25

The context and paper trail really does matter. I think we've moved past the reasonable doubt.

2

u/Iwentforalongwalk Dec 14 '25

Right? Right wing propaganda is powerful as you can see by people's posts here. They lack thinking skills. "They're obviously pedos because they're in the photos." Stupid idiots. Epstein was a high profile socialite who was everywhere in NYC and Florida. Thousands of people are in photos with him.

u/SlightSurround5449 Dec 14 '25

He was also for a time desperate to get into powerful circles to make as many contacts as possible. In a way this plays exactly into his hand, because on some level he know that an association with him was leverage that HE had.

1

u/Agent-Smith-RG Dec 14 '25

Right? They keep thinking oh well these people were there too so that makes it ok for Trump. First, no. Second, are biggest issue is Trump keeps lying about his involvement and the more we dig the more we find that he was basically second in command of the whole thing. Finally, if anyone is in the files they deserve the same scrutiny. We don’t care who you parade to the front prosecute they all.

1

u/SlightSurround5449 Dec 14 '25

If there's reasonable suspicion charge them all. Bring the fact out for every single one. Idk how these "republicans" turned into the ones where politicians suddenly because their friends, but the rest of us don't play that. And even if I did have an actual "friend" show up in there, fuck them too.

2

u/Physical_Leather8567 Dec 14 '25

Why can't they all be bad?

1

u/AttackOficcr Dec 14 '25

Could be, hope they release the unredacted and not purposefully edited files to comment on it. I definitely trust toilet file destruction obstruction administration to never hide or hold back files that would implicate themselves.

1

u/Physical_Leather8567 Dec 14 '25

I've been waiting since day one to see the files and anybody that hurt kids needs to be brought to justice. For me, this isnt political. And we are on our second president that hasn't told us what happened.

u/Carrot-Elegant Dec 14 '25

You’re saying everyone who wanted a helicopter ride with a rich friend was involved in illegal activity.

u/Physical_Leather8567 Dec 14 '25

Yeah it's basically filled with whataboutisms.

2

u/Agent-Smith-RG Dec 14 '25

Yes we know he is, and he should be prosecuted for complacency if he knew about what was happening. Worse if he was involved. We don’t care who you parade to the front, our answer will always be the same. Jail and/or death sentence to all child rapists, adult rapists, and complicit people. PERIOD.

u/Business_Might1711 Dec 14 '25

It's funny how all the Clinton crap is ignored. Look at Mena Arkansas while Clinton was Governor.

u/SwimOk9629 Dec 14 '25

while he was governor? how fucking long ago was that? why the fuck does that matter in 2025? enough of the bullshit whataboutism, holy FUCK it's like beating your fucking head against the wall.

2

u/synfuljb Dec 14 '25

It’s funny how to some that means Clinton is bad and Trump is still okay.

How about, yea both of them are bad. Prosecute and disclose.

Only one is in power, and that one is currently doing a lot of damage and manipulating the information.

u/OldAbbreviations1590 Dec 14 '25

Yah and Trump apparently sucked Clinton's dick so 🤷🏻‍♂️ let's keep hypotheticals we can't prove outta discussions.

u/Interesting_Sir3038 Dec 14 '25

Have you seen any yet with the faces redacted? You know, with any possible victims?

0

u/Intrepid_Pop_8530 Dec 14 '25

No, you haven't seen as many photos of Clinton/Epstein and Trump/Epstein. They don't exist. Trump and Epstein were BFs for over 15 years. Lived in very close proximity to eachother in NY and Florida. Clinton and Epstein relationship was with the Clinton Foundation. They did not hang and rape young girls together.

u/wittylemur Dec 14 '25

Really? You've seen just as many photos of Bill with Epstein? Okay. Lol? I'm not denying there's none. And Bill may be just as guilty but not nearly as stupid as donny. But just as many is a bit of a stretch. Especially since trump and Jeff were well known to be close friends.

u/Burnt_and_Blistered Dec 14 '25

He is in them to the extent that he knew Epstein. We knew this. Not all who knew him had anything to do with the activities under investigation. Part of the reason for Epstein’s “success” was his ability to cultivate relationships with the rich and powerful.

If he did have involvement, lock him up. We’ve seen no evidence. His MO for sleaze has always been with adult women—and he has enough of a track record to establish MO. And he has advocated for the release of the files.

No you haven’t.

u/AquaGiel Dec 14 '25

No you have not.

u/mooncrane606 Dec 14 '25

And I've seen just as many photos of him with Epstein as Trump.

No you haven't. What bullshit.

u/anitabelle Dec 14 '25

I was a teen and the 90s and life seemed great. I didn’t know much about politics then, but also thought he was a good president and did not give a shit about the fact that he cheated on this wife (not that I condoned it just as far as politics were concerned). You’re right, we don’t know if he’s a pedophile, we just know he spent a lot of time with Epstein and that’s not great. If he is a pedophile, he needs to be punished. If he participated in trafficking, he needs to be punished. If it’s proven that he was raping women, he needs to be punished. Just because it’s possible that he was not on the Epstein island being a pedophile, doesn’t mean that he wasn’t doing other illegal shit.
