True crime thread

How could that be? Patel told Congress it was less than 100.

 

Tens of millions has been paid to pro Trump influencers via Russian sources and pro Trump PACS, so of course that will be what they claim.

 

Well he's a known liar. He testified UNDER OATH that there was zero evidence of child trafficking. LMFAO!

 

yes that figure comes from the NY Times review of the latest release...

Trump's name, his Mar-a-lago resort, and references to trump total up to 38,000 times in the Epstein files that were released recently

 

That's almost twice the number of times the word "Harry" appears in the entire Harry Potter book series combined

 

Should change the name to the Epstein-Trump files. It's more appropriate to have his name on them than the Kennedy center lol

 

If they removed everything, it would result in a huge backlash. If they just remove the stuff that can incriminate in court and leave the other poorly investigated stuff, people feel like they "got him" even though it changes nothing

 

Trump himself said he could shoot someone and the cult wouldn't be convinced. So of course 38,000 references in the Epstein files aint gonna do it

 

Sheese, this thread, its gotten even more tiresome than an old Al Davis press conference. I've held off on chiming in, and this is the first and the last time. I'll preface my comments by saying may I suggest - again - that everyone who wants to discuss The Epstein Files either create a new thread in the Politics Forum, keep it to one of the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell threads in the BS Forum, or create a brand new one in the BS Forum if you feel so moved. @typeOnegative13NY , this is your thread, what say you? I'm broaching it yet again, but it continues unabated. Perhaps you will reconsider (?), because I otherwise love this thread. So that's that part, and away we go.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why the Biden Administration didn't unleash The Epstein Files to prevent Donald Trump's re-election is a head-scratcher. I mean, come on, it's more damning and damaging now than it was then? I'm not saying that Donald Trump is guilty or innocent of anything. What I am saying is that this entire thing was at the Biden Administration's disposal and they opted not to use it to their advantage, which makes zero sense no matter what side of the fence you're on.

I also find it amusing that after the Biden Administration basically had open borders and let 20 million illegal migrants waltz across same, everyone who is screaming ICE out because of the current state of things has never alluded to why this problem got so exponentially bad in the first place. See previous sentence.

I do NOT agree with a lot of the tactics of ICE, but when you posit to "Protesters" and their supporters that up until now, Minneapolis, specifically, has been refusing to hand over incarcerated illegal aliens convicted of violent crimes to the Feds, they very obviously had - and still have - a problem with that, up to including Jacob Frey and Tim Walz. Better yet, releasing violent criminals back into the community is somehow a good thing, and "human rights" (lol) somehow takes precedence over PUBLIC SAFETY. Speaking of which, releasing dangerous criminals both legal and illegal is a matter of public safety PERIOD, but for some reason the latter doesn't seem to penetrate the skulls of the morally outraged. So, just sticking to things that one would THINK would be the obvious yet choosing to focus on excoriating ICE for roughing up somebody's law abiding abuelita to the exclusion of all else, what is wrong with these people's heads? I am not being facetious when I ask this question.

Once you start to spit at law enforcement, throw projectiles, kick in car doors, and damage property, you have lost all credibility. You can "protest" all you want, which is your Constitutional right, and nobody, I may add, has said or is saying that the "Protesters" do not have the RIGHT to do so. We all know the distinction the between "peaceful protesting" and assault, which one does NOT have the legal RIGHT to do. Once you get physical with law enforcement, you have knowingly and with purpose broken the law and should be arrested and booked like everybody else. Instead, it has become nothing but a matter of envelope pushing parading as the "peaceful exercise" of one's Constitutional rights of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly. It's a farce, and EVERYONE knows it's a farce. To say otherwise is intellectually dishonest, and it is highly intellectually dishonest to say the least.

"Protesters" who are physically impeding ICE Officers are willfully putting themselves on the receiving end of someone or someones who quite possibly lack the necessary restraint required, and coupled with poor decision making on both sides, it simply isn't going to end well. Standing under an anvil with a rope that is visibly about to snap, at what point is there any personal responsibility for daring that thing to fall on your own head? That is not victim blaming, so don't anybody even attempt to go there.

Basically, there is a large contingent of "Protesters" who are, by and large, entitled white people, who, oops!, by the way, think it's their vocation to speak for the oppressed because God KNOWS they can't speak for themselves! Could they get any more patronizing, even by implication? They are also in it for the attention whoring and the "martyr status" that is full of nothing but self-interest. Look at me, I'm Che Guevara, who, by the way was summarily executed by Fidel Castro, that silly peacenik for the people. Lol with these self-important angry repressed dolts and wannabes, what empty, unfulfilling lives they must lead.

People have lost all semblance of critical thinking, and intellectual honesty is sorely lacking. Just like the Sultans and theocrats with a ring on every finger living in opulence who egg on the disenfranchised to commit jihad - who incidentally, are not in any way matryring and killing THEMSELVES - does anyone seriously believe that the folks who are funding these useful idiots in Minneapolis are getting shot and killed like Renee Good and Alex Pretti? Lol with these people AGAIN.

Donald Trump is gross. I think he's a narcissist of the worst kind; but I also question if TDS is real. People get so elevated and so rattled and so angry that they lose their capacity to reason. And here's the funniest part that escapes people who froth at the mouth and don't seem to understand: DONALD TRUMP TROLLS EVERYONE. He's even a global troll. In fact, he's the biggest troll this millennium has ever seen, and people take the bait like guppies in a fish tank He is so deep in people's heads and so far up people's asses that they can barely function. What is up with that?

I am by no means enamored of Donald Trump, but I find how reactionary people become so wildly amusing, it's practically a spectator sport. Find something more mentally stimulating to do with your time. Paint a picture. Read a book. Give back to your community. My old man delivers meals on wheels. Use your imagination, the world is your oyster.

Moving on, I'll give you all a shining example that demonstrates exactly what I've said in this post. My 26 year old nephew is staunchly left (not a surprise, he's 26). "Do you think it's OK to assault law enforcement?" "If it's for a good cause." "Do you think that person should be arrested?" "It depends." "Depends on what?" "It depends what it's for (does not specify)." "Do you think that you should have to show gov't issued ID with when you go to vote, so that people who are naturalized or are citizens are the only people who are legally voting.?" "I DON'T VOTE BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE THAT YOU SHOW GOVERNMENT ISSUED ID IN OUR COUNTY. THAT'S RACIST. "That's not required anywhere in our county. It is, however, required in every Province in France. I thought you wanted to visit France. Is France off your list now?" Scowls like I'm picking a fight, but doesn't say anything out of respect for his elders. Plausible deniability. In reality, he's out of ammo.

That is slowly changing because he just landed a really super sweet job. SUDDENLY the idea that everybody else's coffers should be raided for the benefit of the "less fortunate" (translation illegal aliens and the able bodied with the debilitating mental disease of the moment that requires unnecessary medication) has Exited Stage Left (heh). Sort of. "It depends on how much money you make." "Do you qualify?" "You're parsing." Heh, OK. I have hope for him, though. And my hope for him will increase on pace with his salary, as the value of his very own money begins to fully matter. That's already begun. Baby steps.

At long last, I am coming to the end of a post that I don't even give it that much of it shit about. When it comes to politics, I am not left. I am not right. I am not even in the middle. I am me; and how I generally operate and function is mostly on one simple item: common sense. I do my dedicated best not let my emotions control the COMMON SENSE required in a given situation. Whether or not something is "morally repugnant" isn't always the best measuring stick for what is FACTUALLY CORRECT, FACTUALLY LEGAL, or even the best choice to be had when weighed against the LOGIC of other choices.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't need nor do I feel the need to spit at law enforcement, kick out windows, key cars, use my fists, or deface public property to make a point, whatever that point may be. And WHY wouldn't I do that most especially? Because I would be breaking the LAW.

Wield a pen instead, it's a fantastic weapon, and guess what? You have the absolute freedom to do so no matter what entitled Hollywood idiots like Ethan Hawke opine. Protest as loud and proud as you want. Just don't get physical and antagonize and incite a very possibly stressed out potential live wire and put yourself on the very real and very possible receiving end of a gun. See? There's that common sense thing.

Over and out. Back to blood and guts and unsolved mysteries, I hope.

 

I would like to add that that is a giant block of shit that no one wants to read, haha, good times; but it was necessary to get my point(s) across, sorry all.

Onto the Bryan Kohberger and the Idaho Murders. I just heard the other day for the first time that the FBI did actually subpoena his amazon account. So the guy who thought he was a criminal mastermind did in fact buy the murder weapon off of amazon for real. If he hadn't dropped the knife sheath at the crime scene, there's a possibility he doesn't get pinched; but the knife that he bought belonged that sheath. Holy Smokes, confirmed.
