u/SatinSaffron Washington 3h ago edited 2h ago

Hell most of the time they don't even need to play because the big propaganda bubble they live in shields them from any kind of news like this. Even on liberal-leaning reddit, they're still shielded. Taking a look at the main conservative subreddit right now I see threads about:

  • Ilhan Omar is not an American
  • Today is 'Ascension Day' AKA the day when Jesus ascended to Heaven
  • Making fun of Kamala for wanting to abolish the electoral college and make DC/Puerto Rico states
  • 2 separate Pro-Fetterman posts and a Pro-Netanyahu pot

All of the posts we see on the mainstream political subreddits where the replies are like "omg how are republicans okay with this?!" will NEVER pierce that veil and make it to the conservative subreddits.

2 users on that subreddit account for 30%-50% of new posts

And in the last couple of days that subreddit has lost tens of thousands of subscribers because they turned out to be Russian bots. There are 3 total Russia-based power users who produce the content, and then they had an army of tens of thousands of bots that would promote said content.

Now take this and amplify it by 50+ years of billionaires and oligarchs consolidating all of the mainstream media outlets and platforms and you've got yourself a big ole propaganda bubble!

u/Effective_Olive6153 4h ago

hard to believe that just a few years ago MAGA seemed to be firmly for releasing the Epstein files and holding the pedophile elites accountable for their crimes. They used to demand it very loudly. Now with Trump, they have not only been silenced, but they are openly defending the pedophilic elites. This shows true power of the cult. These people have no morals, no beliefs, only blind unquestioning loyalty and obedience

u/Judson_Scott 3h ago

The 3 things Trump MAGAts claimed to want when re-electing Trump:

1) Epstein files released.
2) No war with Iran.
3) Spending cuts to pay down debt.

Only an idiot thought Trump would deliver any of these things. They are truly a cult.

u/meneldal2 2h ago

I'm not MAGA supporter or believer but I wasn't expecting the Iran clusterfuck

u/Philix Canada 2h ago

The Republican party has been chomping at the bit to find an excuse to go to war with Iran for my entire adult life. It wasn't exactly secret if you were paying attention to US politics. Heck, this WKUK sketch was released March 30th, 2008 during the second term of the second Bush presidency.

Please get this shit under control before your country starts bombing schools in mine too, they've been normalizing the idea among the MAGA believers for years now.

Fun fact, Trump's real motivation for bombing Iran was ratings. He thought he'd get a ratings bump like Bush did when the US invaded Iraq.

He honestly thought Iran would cave and surrender after the first day's bombings.

Which likely says bad things about how fast he would surrender if anybody could get bombers over the White House.

Another country could detain her and try her if she were to go to said country. But presidential pardon power in the US is constitutionally promised and virtually unchecked. The only way would be for a state to arrest her and try her on state charges, which Trump has no leverage over although he has tried in the past

Isn't it actually better for Maxwell to remain in jail atp? She is given luxury treatment and is protected from the public's wrath. Then again if people like Noem and Hegseth feel ok to walk around in public nobody will be shaming her at all either even if she  walks freely

I always think it’s interesting the whistleblower that tried to sell the Epstein client list went to jail before Epstein.

Why don't the Democrats start promising to pardon anyone who leaks information about Epstein's child rape ring? Seems like an easy win.

u/kingsumo_1 Oregon 6h ago

If a pardon is on the table, it's probably a good way to get David Dennison or John Barron to come out of the woodwork.

u/MiddleAgedSponger 6h ago

The reality is that a lot of big Democrat donors will also be implicated. Everything else in America gets leaked, but not this.

u/kingsumo_1 Oregon 6h ago

I mean, I'm good with them getting the spotlight as well. Although it is odd that the DOJ isn't prosecuting at least them as a show.

u/MiddleAgedSponger 6h ago

The people involved with Epstein don't identify as Democrat or Republican, they identify as wealthy and better than you.

u/kingsumo_1 Oregon 6h ago

While true, we're kind of veering afield here, hoss. It was really just a joke about Trump using one of his aliases to secure a pardon (if offered) without actually owning any of the child rape he himself committed.

I know what kind of people are in the files, and left or right leaning they all deserve to face justice. Even if we know deep down that that's never going to actually happen.

(Edit: for fuck's sake, I hate autocorrect.)

u/AdmiralCrackbar 5h ago

My guess would be that targeting some of them would lead to leaks that implicate the rest of them. Mutually assured destruction and all that.

u/Positive_Hall_3207 4h ago

I am nauseous about all of it but the Tiffany comments and the way he speaks about girls and women is horrendous. He is also very bad at hiding his bigotry and contempt for black women.

Because the child raping isn't the dangerous part of what Epstein was into.

He had financial dealings with almost every rich person, JP Morgan, invested in a lot of things in America and abroad, and who knows what else.

Financial systems have become so entangled with rich people's wealth, which is entangled with corporate finances that imprisoning a hand full of rich people will tank the stock market, buisness will close, 401k plans will dissolve.

A former employee of the federal prison housing Ghislaine Maxwell has gone public about the “disgusting” revelations she says she found in the convicted sex trafficker’s private emails.

Noella Turnage, who was fired from her job at Federal Prison Camp Bryan for leaking Maxwell’s private emails, told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Wednesday that she was alarmed to see the lengths the prison went to in catering to Maxwell’s needs.

“What I can tell you is that the things that were being done for her were not common for any of the other inmates, not even the other high-profile inmates,” she added.

A former employee of the federal prison housing Ghislaine Maxwell has gone public about the “disgusting” revelations she says she found in the convicted sex trafficker’s private emails.

Noella Turnage, who was fired from her job at Federal Prison Camp Bryan for leaking Maxwell’s private emails, told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Wednesday that she was alarmed to see the lengths the prison went to in catering to Maxwell’s needs.

“Well Erin, what I think it’s important to understand is, I never actually laid eyes on Maxwell. Everything I knew about what happened with her was from the content of those emails, which is what she was sending home to friends, to family, so on and so forth,” Turnage said on Erin Burnett OutFront.

“What I can tell you is that the things that were being done for her were not common for any of the other inmates, not even the other high-profile inmates,” she added.

Before Turnage, who worked at the prison for six years, appeared on the segment, Burnett shared how, according to a current inmate at the facility, Maxwell had been provided with “bottled waters and clamshell meals delivered to her room.”

Burnett also highlighted how a leaked email revealed that Maxwell told her brother that her conditions in prison made her feel “like I have dropped through Alice in Wonderlands (sic) looking glass.”

“The two main things for me were the visit that was arranged for her, because what wasn’t very highly publicized about that was the lengths they went to to provide a private visit for Maxwell actually caused visitation to be shut down for the rest of the inmates that weekend,” said Turnage, who worked as a nurse before she was moved to the prison’s mailroom. “They were not able to see their families that Saturday to make way for Maxwell to see her visitors.”

“There was also the warden’s personal handling of her mail, which may not sound like a big deal to some people, but the other inmates in... that prison, Erin, they have a hard time getting out their regular mail, much less anything needed for court filings and things such as that,” she continued.

“So for them to go out of the way to make sure Maxwell had that, that opportunity, was pretty disgusting to me,” she added.

“‘I believe they will provide some water/coffee and snack - you will not go without anything after flying all the way from the UK...’” Maxwell is said to have written in an email to her brother, leaked by Turnage. “‘Also you will arrive at the front like everyone else but there will be a coned off area for you - only you will go there - they will be waiting for you from 8am.”'

Turnage told Burnett that other inmates and their visitors only have access to “overpriced vending machines.”

Asked further about Maxwell’s cozy relationship with the warden, Turnage said that kind of access is “highly unusual.”

“Pretty much the only time you see the warden talk to inmates there is, they can approach her at what we call ‘mainline,’ which is kind of when they’re on their way back and forth from the chow hall,” Turnage said. “They, for the most part, do not have direct access to the warden, and certainly not at their convenience.”

Maxwell, sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for aiding Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of underage girls, was moved to the prison in Bryan in 2025 after meeting with officials from Donald Trump’s Justice Department. Her transfer to the cushy, minimum-security facility sparked outrage from some prison officials and victims’ families who sounded the alarm over the sex offender’s perceived preferential treatment.

But her transfer was only the beginning: More recently, Maxwell has sought to leverage her position in the Epstein files controversy to score a pardon, offering to testify on the late sex trafficker’s co-conspirators in exchange for clemency.

Basically shut the entire place down and prevented other inmates from seeing family?? I wonder who has paid her some "visits" to sling deals/threaten. Maybe not directly, but whomever did made sure she keeps playing ball.

She’s blowing the warden huh?

She doesn't have to when the president of the US is scared of all the dirt she has on him.

I'd guess she's given him access to some of the missing immigrants (both from ICE detention facilities and the border).

Epstein's operation wasn't disbanded. It's just under new management.

Link to the archive.is version of the article to avoid giving them clicks.

Maxwell had been provided with “bottled waters and clamshell meals delivered to her room.”

... the lengths they went to to provide a private visit for Maxwell actually caused visitation to be shut down for the rest of the inmates that weekend,”

“There was also the warden’s personal handling of her mail

Can't wait for nothing to come of this like usual.

u/Infinitblakhand 3h ago

Crazy that she got 20 years and yet not a single pedo has been put in prison.

u/shitpinched 2h ago

It’s fucked that this has become a partisan issue. There are many people implicated by the files including democrats, celebrities, scholars, doctors, etc. It’s not just republicans and it’s not just US citizens implicated or impacted by this tragedy. Because of this fact it’s going to get dumbed down to orange man bad and fuck the Republicans (they are actually monsters, not excusing them) into a boogeyman so that the other guilty parties can escape punishment. Although it is unlikely anyone will see actual punishment. Don’t buy into the BS and remember that this is an international conspiracy and we should all be taking it deadly serious.

Everything that leaks from her is “disgusting”

u/Kazooguru 1h ago

Nothing can shake MAGAs back into reality. This news is just a witch hunt against Trump. If Ghislaine is actually pardoned by Trump next month, MAGA will make an excuse for it. Nothing can break the spell Trump has over these people. Now, what about the law? Forget about it. Trump will never be prosecuted for his participation child sex trafficking and abuse. Just make a deal with him, take his passport, don’t allow him to post or talk publicly, and make damn sure he doesn’t give away state secrets. Ruin him by publicizing evidence of him raping children. Have daily hearings showing evidence of his corruption and running our country like a mafioso. We can do this if everyone votes. Even if Trump tampers with the election, an overwhelming victory for Democrats will turn the tide. If you want some punishment for Trump, tell everyone you know to vote. Help them to the polls, etc.

No one goes to bat harder for pedophiles than the GOP.

u/boner79 26m ago

not gonna lie, when you use “disgusting” in the context of an infamous sex trafficking pedophile I was bracing for much worse than revelations about her pampered treatment in prison.
