The still image near the top of the thread of the two together is from an MSNBC video they’re laughing, chortling, acting like buddies, arms around each other etc.

In any event, I posted that video some time back and I used Tracey Ullman’s hit “They Don’t Know” as the soundtrack. The lyrics fit that video of the two together to a tee:

You've been around for such a long time now Oh Maybe I could leave you but I don't know how And why should I be lonely ev'ry night When I can be with you Oh yes You make it right And I don't listen to the guys who say that you're bad for me And I should turn you away 'Cause they don't know about us And they've never heard of love I get a feeling when I look at you wherever you go now I want to be there too They say we're crazy but I just don't care And if they keep on talking Still they get nowhere So I don't mind if they don't understand When I look at you and you hold my hand 'Cause they don't know about us And they've never heard of love Why should it matter to us if they don't approve? We should just take our chances while we've got nothing to lose Baby There's no need for living in the past Now I've found good loving gonna make it last I tell the others Don't bother me 'Cause when they look at you They don't see what I see No I don't listen to their wasted lines Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs 'Cause they don't know about us And they've never heard of love No I don't listen to their wasted lines Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs 'Cause they don't know about us and they've never heard of love

I'm sure Ivana wouldn't have wanted to be buried on one of Trump's golf courses. The thought of it is insulting. I imagine that her grown kids would have had the authority to make the decision. Maybe they wanted it to be somewhere they could visit in privacy. Maybe they thought they were giving her the Princess Diana treatment by burying her on private family property, away from other dead people. Maybe they were too cheap to buy a plot in a regular cemetery for rich people.

It would have made more sense to bury her at Mara Lago. Or even better, cremate her and bury or scatter her remains in her Eastern European homeland.

Ivana Trump gave explicit details about how Donald assaulted her—taken from 1990 divorce sworn testimony.

"Ivana is crying and screaming. Entire bed is covered with strands of her golden locks. But Donald isn't finished. He rips off clothes and unzips his pants. Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months."

"Ivana is terrified. This is not lovemaking. This is not romantic sex. It is a violent assault. She later describes what Donald is doing to her in no uncertain terms. According to the version she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, 'He raped me.'"

"When Donald finally pulls out, Ivana jumps up from the bed. Then she runs upstairs to her mother's room. She locks the door and stays there crying for the rest of the night."

"The next morning Ivana musters up the courage to return to the master bedroom. Donald is there waiting for her. He leaves no doubt that he knows exactly what he did to her the night before."

"As she looks at him in horror at her ripped-out hair scattered all over the bed, he glares at her and asks with a menacing casualness, 'Does it hurt?'"

Postscript: Ivana Trump later reached a settlement with Donald in 1993—she agreed to release a statement saying she did not want her words interpreted in a "criminal sense" and that she wanted "this matter to be put to rest."

This was worth the time. Michael Wolff spills what he knows about Epstein and Trump to Michael Cohen. Wolff doesn't believe any wild conspiracies that Epstein was a spy. He says Epstein was a social climber and influence peddler and was truly friends with Trump and vice versa. Cohen says he doesn't believe Trump is a child rapist on Epstein's turf, and that Trump doesn't have a real player's game with women, and isn't interested in sex for sex. Just power dynamics. Wolff seems to be too pollyanna about Epstein and of course Wolff was in thick with Epstein for some time. There are insights into Steve Bannon as well.

Whether that’s out of fear or out of determination or a mix of the two, who knows.

Oh, FFS, R111 -- did you even read that article?

I thought the stuff they said happened to them was over the top for sure, but then I saw this: They made us drink period blood.

OK. I guesstimate I had a monthly period for 30-35 years. I know that was awhile ago, but you either wore a pad or a tampon, both of which are made to [italic]absorb[/italic] period blood. I suppose it's possible to use either of those products like one would a tea bag, in a cup of hot water, but by then it wouldn't be period blood anymore, no more than drinking tea would be the same as eating the tea leaves inside of the tea bag.

I've heard there's a cup you can put in there that's something like a diaphragm, but I can't imagine how one would collect enough blood from enough menstruating women for small children to be able to "drink" it. It's not like the blood that comes out of a vein -- well, I'll spare you boys the exact description -- but it would be like trying to drink phlegm, another kind of thick-ish bodily fluid.

So where this story is coming from, I have no idea. It sounds more like The Exorcist than real life.

But I'll stay tuned if you want to keep posting, R111.

The Kincora Boys' Home case in Northern Ireland, for example, even had connections to the British Intelligence community.

Interesting idea senior lesbian R136. Both men seem to have/had stunted emotional development as well. Clearly not capable of a fully developed 1:1 adult romantic relationship. His wives each tolerated his many defects and his toxic narcissism (and outright abuse in Ivana’s case) for the $$ and social prestige. Rape and exploitation are attractive to this kind of man and extreme wealth makes more things possible in just about any direction. He was never going to have a marriage like the Bushes or the Obamas or the Bidens. Melania is cold as ice and their marriage seems more like a not-consummated divorce at this point. But the defective-penis hypothesis as well is a funny one to consider.

R111 The testimonies these women gave are identical to the ones given during the satanic panic of the 90s from all those women who were hypnotized into "remembering" satanic ritual abuse as children, down to the animal sacrifices and forced drinking of blood and other bodily fluids.

Really it just turned out that they were put under hypnosis and led to believe these things under the power of suggestion from therapists looking to make a name for themselves. Not a single report of ritualized satanic abuse of children has ever been substantiated.

Wow. Trump 2.0 is really flailing. All of their Epstein offerings to MAGA are suspect:

1. The grand jury testimony. It won't have anything in it regarding Trump, because they were submitting their basic evidence against Ghislaine and Jeffrey to allow charges to be filed. It wasn't even their strongest evidence. In any event, the court already has a ton of questions for them about releasing the testimony so it won't be released any time soon.

2. The Ghislaine interview. Todd Blanche was Trump's defense attorney, and he is friends with Ghislaine's attorney. Do you really think they will allow her to say anything harmful to Trump? No way. So again, it's just a distraction that won't lead to anything significant. She is a pedophile who wants a pardon. Why the hell are we supporting taxpayer money to talk to her? She's biased and a pedophile.

True, Sylvia R179 but that's been kind of true about news in general every summer. Each election season in August there's this sense of "well, summer, whatever, but the voters are really going to start focusing on the election after Labor Day."

So the question becomes, will Epstein/Trump loom back up into the news cycle, zombie style, when September comes in just six weeks? Who knows, but the probability seems not so low to me. Things are happening... DOJ/Ghislaine; a few more accusers speaking out; more Trump/Epstein photos found; Pam Bondi might release a heavily sanitized "something" to try to put this into the past. But will leakers retaliate by releasing the unredacted?

I don't feel at all sure either way, re: this story taking Trump down or this story dying permanently starting now, over the summer. It's been unpredictable so far.

JUST IN: Epstein’s own brother just blew up the White House’s cover story.

Mark Epstein tells CNN that Trump was absolutely at Jeffrey Epstein’s office, “numerous times.”

“That’s just another blatant lie,” he says, “because he was there. People that worked for Jeffrey in his office, they could testify that they saw Trump there.”

This directly contradicts claims from Trump and the current administration.

And it gets worse…

📁 One of Epstein’s earliest accusers, Maria Farmer, says she told the FBI twice to investigate Trump — after a disturbing 1995 encounter in Epstein’s office.

She says Epstein called her in late at night. She showed up in running shorts. Trump walked in wearing a suit and started hovering over her. “Trump stared at her bare legs,” she said. She was scared.

Epstein walked in and said, “No, no. She’s not here for you.”

Then he and Trump left. She overheard Trump say he thought she was sixteen.

R313 R315 R317, it's not hard evidence but the Newsweek article I linked earlier, linked here again, did a good job outlining the possible points of the conspiracy theory and why it's taken hold. e.g., Epstein was extremely close with former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, and at least one of the victims has claimed Barak sexually assaulted her. Ghislaine Maxwell's father reportedly getting a head of state level burial from Israel. And so on.

I have no dog in that fight over what's true and what's total libel. I'm horrified by what Israel is doing in Gaza and I'm also deeply fond of the liberal side of the Israeli people, several of whom are good friends. I'm married to a Jewish spouse who lived in Jerusalem for three years and knows victims of Oct 2023, etc. It's complicated. So I hope the above is just a conspiracy theory.

No way he didn’t know. But he’s silent. He and Hillary went to Trump the rapist’s wedding. They are silent about Trump. And people wonder why I loathe the Clintons.

Her's a review of Donald Barr, OSS, who hired Epstein unqualified for his teaching job, father of CIA Bill Barr, sci-fi book (Wikipedia)

"Becky Ferreira has described the novel as "highly unsettling", due to its depiction of rape of enslaved people, particularly teenage girls, and other coercive sex acts. The sex acts described are performed "for the dual purposes of entertainment and controlled procreation". Ferreira found disgusting the novel's fixation on the sexualization of adolescents. She notes that the adult characters are subjected to infantilization. The novel's dialogue includes "casually unsettling observations". She cites as an example a character remarking that pederasty lacks in "aesthetic appeal". She views the novel as sexualizing minors and fetishizing rape, claiming that such elements were normalized in science fiction."

“ One of the most telling aspects of this MAGA obsession is the focus on the punishment of the “elites” who are behind it. At a basic level, the victims never really take center stage. And that is the heart of it. [bold]In the MAGA world, pedophilia isn’t a crime or abuse that needs to be stopped. It is more a legitimating tool which provides a license for cleansing acts of retributive violence and revenge. [/bold]This is what’s at the end of the story in every far-right/MAGA conspiracy: a wave of eliminationist, cleansing violence led by someone like Trump in which the bad guys, the liberals, the Democrats, the globalist elites, etc etc are wiped out.”

by Anonymousreply 378July 25, 2025 4:16 PM

If Trump pardons Maxwell (or commutes her sentence) in return for silence, which will make him look guilty as well, whatever her silence would be concealing must contain some massive bombshells. I just hope WSJ knows what those are and reveals them first. Also, I don't believe Maxwell is long for this world either way.

by Anonymousreply 379July 25, 2025 4:33 PM

If Trump pardons her, she will still be a loose end. How many might be tempted to eliminate her, just in case?Truly, the person they should be eliminating is Trump himself because he started using Epstein as a political battering ram against the Clintons in 2015 anticipating that Hillary would be the Democratic candidate.

Occupy Democrats linked to an interesting post on Instagram Threads (I tried to find a link I could provide here but didn’t see one) about Paolo Zampolli, who brought tRump and Melania together and was also a close friend of Maxwell.

Predictably enough Trump has boomingly brought up non-GOP names to take down if this goes deeper. Notable he didn't mention Dershowitz, merely Clinton and Summers. Murdoch obviously knows he won't be able to focus solely on Trump, without so much collateral fall-out. How much he's prepared to take that risk remains to be seen.

The New Republic:

Asked on two occasions Friday morning whether he would consider pardoning convicted Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, Trump first said he didn’t “want to talk about” it and, later, made a point to note he is “allowed” to do so.

“Well, I don’t want to talk about that,” the president responded to the first query about a potential pardon. Later, Trump said: “It’s something I haven’t thought about. It’s really some—it’s some. I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about.”

“But you wouldn’t rule it out?” a reporter followed up, but Trump did not reply. Trump’s glaring non-answers come as his allies appear increasingly open to embracing Maxwell as a way out of his Epstein mire.

It won't have much impact if the 300 G of unreleased material (video/audio/financial documents) tell a different story of Dumps guilt.

So the smoking gun for Epstein being Mossad is that a former Israeli PM may have been a client? Does that mean that since former and current presidents were also likely clients Epstein was also CIA? Powerful and connected people from all over the world were involved in this, but somehow we have to make this an Israel-centered conspiracy for reasons well known to all.

The only online sources I see repeating these disgusting conspiracy theories are far right and far left nazis (oh, sorry..."anti-zionists"). If you find yourself agreeing with Candace Owens, it might be a good time to take a step back and self-evaluate.

Just to be clear, when Epstein and many of his clients, including Dump, are said to have raped underage girls, specifically it's statutory rape in most cases. 18 years is the age of consent, so anything under is considered rape by law. So it wasn't necessarily forcible rape.

Many girls as young as 13 were manipulated, cajoled, whatever to seduce various clients of Epstein . So even if the young girls initiated, if the men participated they are still guilty of rape.

Why I mention this: Dump is most likely guilty of forcible rape, actual physical assault and battery. We heard the story of how he slapped the 13yr old Ivanka-lookalike, f'kd her, then threatened her life. That is so much worse than anything we know anybody else did.

So not only is Dump's name probably on the "list", he probably WINS for having the most entries, the most paragraphs, and descriptions of the worst encounters and abusive behavior. He loves bullying and loves to be brutal at it! And it's all probably heavily detailed.
