I don’t care about that fight. Both are a piece of sh*t!

we’ll settle an old, fundamental question of political theory: is govt or corporations more powerful?

Yeah, but the case was just randomly assigned to an Obama-appointed judge.

I'm now convinced that Trump is not really the "man in power'. He is just a convenient and malleable tool for others much more nefarious. Trump will get discarded once it suits their narrative. Then the shit will really hit the proverbial fan.

Trump is the front man, the barker at the carnival who draws the crowd.

I wonder does he know that or does he believe he is the main attraction?

In his mind he is "the greatest". He probably thinks he's in charge. To lie as pathologically as he does he probably has to convince himself of his own lies. Don't know, just speculating, but that would be my guess. He might even believe he's really "hot" right now (he's not).

Just trump driving “ the bus” over old friends AGAIN

Murdoch made that b1tch and Murdoch will take him down again. Drumpf has really fkd himself on this temper tantrum.

Trump in panic mode! He’s on the list! His base is seeing daily headlines like: “Epstein & friends LIKED to have SEX with LITTLE GIRLS”! They laughed, plotted & used a woman to find & recruit them! If you have a sister, niece or daughter ask yourself, are you ok with this? ARE YOU OK WITH THIS?

Good point. It’s not beyond him to seize control of Fox as official state media.

Murdoch has all the information he needs to crush Donald Trump. Will Donald be able to suppress whatever Rupert publishes? Not sure Donald has that much power.

What information? Even if he has a video of him having sex with a 13 year old girl, he has plenty of other media and supporters who will whitewash it as AI or whatever.

I tend to agree. The “shooting someone on 5th Avenue “ has basically come and gone already, and he’s still there.

That video has been around before AI has the capability.

Won't stop them from saying it was manipulated.

Stop.

You don't need 100% of his supporters to believe it's real, you just need enough. You will NEVER convince that bottom 20ish % that Trump is anything less than the reincarnated Jesus.

Murdoch will accept bribes.

🙏🙏🙏

Trump and Bondi will NEVER let this go to trail. This is a performative lawsuit. Discovery would prove that Trump rapes children, and Bondi is a fucking ghoul that simps for a pedophile.

I ve been off grid but didn’t I see Trump and Rupert had a little snuggly tete-a-tete

End poorly for WHO, though?

I think this is a Win-win scenario for most of us🤔. I'll be more excited when cheeto sues musk; or vice versa🤷‍♂️

That’s my question too.

I think for Trump. If Fox News turns on Trump, he is finished.

Nyah, he still has plenty of RW media and influencers who will do his bidding.

LOL..he is not God. If FOX starts brining up Epstein every five minutes instead of Obama it will hurt him.

Did you see how they rallied behind him with the WSJ article? Anything Fox brings up will just have the rest of MAGA rally behind him. They will go to Newsmax. That's actually a problem Fox has if it attacks him too much, they lose all the MAGA to even crazier outlets.

I agree to a point, but did you hear Majorie Taylor Green still screaming for the Epstein files to be released this morning? I think this time it's a little different.

Not specifically. But she is doing it to play to the base. Notice that whenever they talk about releasing the Epstein files and its not being released, they blame Blondi. Its theater what MTG is doing. And its theater that Blondi is trying to get Grand Jury testimony.

@mattgertz.bsky.social try Plato, or Putin, the central idea of a tyrant is to knock off those supporters who got you there when they are no longer so loyal. It is basically FUNDAMENTAL. I do not get why people with wide followings do not get the most basic stuff. Of course, Conway is always wrong

He is the political prognostication equivalent of Jim Cramer.

It’s the loyalty of the whole thing that gets me George.

If this lawsuit ever gets to the stage of deposition #PresidentTaco will claim he is unable to sit for long periods of time due to his chronic venous insufficiency diagnosis.

Stick a golf club in his hand and make him stand

#PresidentTaco will use every trick in the book to his advantage. Hoping the judge in this case tells him he either sits for deposition or he drops his lawsuit (after all he was the one that filed).

Hopefully not for the wannabe king

murdoch knew this is coming. I would not fuck with that man. he made trump and he can destroy him. all it takes is fox turning on him and reporting the real news. brainwashing may be over. maybe. ha

Really? You are just coming to this conclusion? Tired of kissing his a**?

I think Matthew is underestimating the explanatory power of the Federalist Society fealty to the 1%. Trump may be trying to appoint ultra-MAGA/non-FS judges now: won't settle, never going to trial, Trump will either eventually walk away or just keep it grinding through appeals for the optics.

Vance can appoint them too.

The tech bro creation? I doubt it bc they're more protected by the current defamation standards than anyone. Not to mention nobody has shown themselves more a whore to money and power than Vance, to the point he even defended someone who slurred his children. TBH, I don't know who MAGA can

get after Trump who they could count on to further their overall agenda: in the senate you either have defense/anti-China hawks or isolationists who hate his budget policies. Vance will look good on paper compared to the most likely challengers, but not sure how he performs in the primaries.

The oligarchs know stuff. I want them to drop it all, and end Trump’s control of the mindless Magats.

Murdoch should avoid windows and tea

In some countries, said oligarch would fall out of a high-rise window... just because.

And I believe Musk is in the mix also. One can see an ill ending for all 3.

It won't go anywhere. All Murdoch needs to do is say 'See you in court', then what? That's a circus Trump isn't going to want anyone to see that everyone will watch.

For whom?

Trump will be fine. He always is. The ones in peril are allothere elected officials, Republican and Democrat, past and present, who enjoyed Epstein's "gracious" hospitality.

The tech bros were friends with Epstein too. There are a lot of guilty parties, and they must all be telling trump to never release the evidence.

Absolutely so.

Tell me more tales about how Trump eventually gets taken down by his own people. Oh, I wish it were true. But “grab ‘em by the pussy” and “they’re eating the dogs” and “I can’t get a fair trial w a Latino judge” and “if she wasn’t my daughter, I would bang her”- TRUMPLETS DON’T CARE. We’re fucked.

It's a Russian folktale at this point.

Wish I could follow you George and repost your stuff, but you don’t use alt text. Why?

Note to self: wear your reading glasses. I thought that post was from Matthew Gaetz and my head almost exploded.

Can’t these old bastards just die already, speaking for the universe…

Vance is only 40. It could be even worse.

I've heard of T dropping lawsuits because of what discovery might uncover. Seems like it might happen here, too?

Rich men trying to dominate each other, using poor people as pawns. Same as it ever was.

Who does this not end well for? The leader, oligarch, or the citizens?

I think we need to stop REACTING to every fucking thing he says & does and get AHEAD of his crap.

None of this - None. Of. This. - is going to end well.

I think we are under reacting to November 2026 way more. This is the ultimate payday for Trump and the Republican Party. So far all of the Trump distractions along with information coming from various states about voter suppression - should have everyone focused on protecting the 2026 election.

🎯

So how long before Murdoch falls out of a high building. Have we reached that stage of authoritarian regime yet?

are you saying we're fucked?!

But the felon has a billion dollars in free lawyers fees,so he’ll use them up before he leaves office which will be sooner than later, I wonder if Vance can use them up or will the felon take them with him? I’m going to guess the felon will take those spineless lawyers gift with him

True but look at the attorneys he has. They are incompetent and have no integrity. I bet many of them barely passed the bar. He isn’t going to ever again have the most qualified attorneys represent him, they already ruined their careers by representing him.

Didn’t he get top law firms to bend the knee to get free representation? I know his own lawyers are garbage but I think he has high level attorneys from these law firms..didn’t it come close to a billion dollars in free service? I may be wrong, but I know it was a lot.

Yes but I doubt they’re going to put their best attorneys on anything involving him. They’re going to need their best for anyone left in the real world that would hire them (which probably isn’t as many as before). Free services may be free but that doesn’t mean they’re going to be good quality.

This is looking way too much like Yeltsin to Putin for my taste.

I actually wrote a post about this immediately prior to seeing yours.

Def not the last time....

Except has trump really sued Murdoch? For the suit to go to court, trump would be open to being deposed, which he won’t do and having to testify, which he won’t do. So, what has really happened? We all know trump uses threats of suing

There will be no lawsuit. Just the usual demented bluster.

⁉️ bsky.app/profile/robe...

Coward publications??! @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @msnbc.com

They aren’t cowards, they’re conspirators

Whether it's a mea culpable on trump's behalf or a prep talk with him to take over when they are done with trump. Weird shit is happening

JD is attempting wanting to ‘work behind Rump’s back’ Rump is so distracted he’s not seeing it until a Devotee points it out!!? #LauraLooomer ?! 🤷‍♀️

🤔🤔🤔

The fifth estate in America is barely alive.

I got excited when I first read it as coming from fellow child rapist Matt Gaetz.

🤭Names are too similar

Matthew Gertz is a journalist for Media Matters. Not the sexual predator Matt Gaetz

Why did jd go see them?

Every time I see this man post my first thought is "Oh, look Matty G finally got a brain" and then I realize "Oh no, wait. It's Matthew Gertz. The smart Matt G."

Where is the movement that halts paying federal taxes until #pedotrump and project 2025 are out?

Let’s hope so

We can only hope.

considering the two opponents I've decided to actually root for "does not end well"

Murdoch can afford to pay him off.

They will settle for half and and the evidence will remain hidden or totally destroyed.

We can agree on one thing; none of this is ending well for our Republic or working class. We're getting fucked daily from $billionaire propaganda (Murdoch, Musk/Thiel, Zuckerberg, Bezos, et. al.), aligned w/ US adversaries, which targets, triggers, exploits America's racist, hate-driven underbelly.

Corporations & billionaires want the working class under their full control just as in Victorian Britain. Trump is the conduit for them to achieve their goals

It’s a class war, yes - the oligarchs are trying to take us back to 19th century Britain & ‘the gilded age’ in the U.S.! They want to once again be the Lords, ruling over the rest of us. We will be the peasants & servant class, toiling for scraps! 😔 If we all stand together, we can stop them! 💪

Exactly, only wealthy landowners could vote then as well.

I know, right? And inheritance was set by law - male primogeniture & entails etc. The wealthy patriarchy had ruled for millennia. Progress has finally been made now, which pisses off the white MEN who feel entitled . . . so now they’re trying to reverse all the progress . . . it’s sick!🤢

The wealthy MEN want to rule again. We cannot let them.

Last time they ruled they nearly dissolved our Republic; the Great Depression marked significant hunger, unemployment, disease, homelessness, and greatest threat of communism (and fascism) this country ever faced. FDR hated communism (not a socialist or a communist!) and New Deal was the defense.

I’m all for good social systems, even a few crown corp’s & bit of land, healthcare for all, and programs like our milk distribution process up here (Canada) keeps small family run farms and their animals healthy and strong & also my belief in most of what FDR said so some in U.S. say I’m a commie.

My question for the Murdoch clan is this: Will you stop shilling for Trump now?

We should have gotten out our pitchforks long ago.

Murdoch sort of put him in power, but Murdoch also wouldn't mind getting rid of MAGA. MAGA engages in too many conspiracy theories, and one of those conspiracy theories cost him 3/4 of a billion.

Welp. The lord giveth and the lord taketh away, right? Murdock can make a shit ton of money exposing Trump. And that is the ONLY reason they exist, to make money. Trump was elected because headlines generate money. He'll be exposed for the exact same reason. There is no moral compass here.

Murdoch cares about money, but he also cares about his legacy.

And what greater legacy than being the man who took Trump down, when so many others have failed?

Not quite that far. More like just exposing his misgivings

Which one?

The Dominion lawsuit.

probably not

The war between Trump and Musk was pretty satisfying. The one between Trump and Murdoch could be epic. I just love it when shitty people fight with each other.

Agreed - Murdoch will never fold for Trump. Murdoch is a hard-nosed businessman who loves the news. He made a fortune printing stories about Trump and he doesn’t care what Trump thinks of him or does to him. RM is perhaps finding it amusing to see how Trump reacts - it’s more news fit to print.

I don't think anyone on Trump's team actually likes each other.

Musk deleting those posts and saying he was wrong destroyed the impact. Little coward.

He also said the letter didn't sound like Trump.

True, but it does show that those two - Musk and Trump - are sensitive, whiny bitches and their relationship could explode again at any minute.

Musk is the boy who cried wolf. The moment he realized he could lose this businesses, he folded. Never produced the evidence. But he did start the Epstein conversation again.

Within Musk, there is ALWAYS an epic battle - not of good vs evil, but of pettiness vs greed. Same for Trump. Same for Murdoch.

Kind of sad his mom didn't post and say she wasn't allowing the fight to happen this time. I would have paid good money to watch a ring fight with Zuckerberg and musk.

🍻

This is the same man, however, who has attacked Comey, who did his part to install trump in the WH the first time, and musk, who performed the same service this time around. He will attack anyone at any time on the slightest provocation, because he's a thin-skinned jelly-brained bully.

The suit, if handled aggressively by the defendants, could go a long way towards being the beginning of the end for taco. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🇫🇷🇪🇺

It’s a ruse. A libel suit is a form of catch and kill. A delay tactic by Trump and Murdoch.

How very totalitarian of him….

Anyone on the left who is cheering this is nuts. That said, I haven't heard or seen people on the left cheering this.

What's he saying? Has Gaetz left Team Trump? This is becoming one big soap opera!

Gertz not Gaetz. I had to look twice too

Well, darn!

the thing is, trump doesn't have the power we think he has it can evaporate in seconds let's work that process

Would like to think he doesn't.

After having to pay a half billion dollars may very well be pay up out of taxpayer money once they find for Murdoch

If I’m correct, this is at least the fourth billionaire he’s pissed off. Musk, Gates, Cuban and Murdoch.

Let’s hope not

Pretty sure this is one big orchestrated act. Rupert will “settle” and Trump will play the victorious victim and everything will get swept under the rug. Rupert is providing Trump an off-ramp to the Epstein scrutiny.

Too likely.

Most companies have crumbled and paid when Trump says he will sue. Once he (and his lawyers) realize Murdoch is always willing to go to court, Trump will withdraw before discovery stage. Besides, there will be hundreds more corroborated allegations in Epstein case by then.

hope

Does taco’s lawsuit violate the emoluments clause,same as his crypto, same as his golfing same as him just being the criminal that he is?

bsky.app/profile/altn...

It’s horrid. trump and miller love that it is disgusting, their objective is that word will get out to refugees that the U.S. is not welcoming. They are such ass holes.

Rupert needs to avoid any building taller than 1 story.

Unless Murdoch just wants to pay tRump, for the hell of it; like ABC, CBS,META and all the lawyers and especially Bezos (whose nose is so brown), I'm thinking WSJ has the proof, but will they fight it? Will tRump TACO or WSJ bend?

Now that the oligarchs got what they wanted in the Big Beautiful Bill, they can dump Trump because they know that he is jeopardizing the midterm results. It's time to move on to Vance, who may be a more marketable alternative.

JD Vance doesn't help with the midterms but he will do everything they want him to do.

I think the oligarch world wants him out. Coincidence both Musk and Murdock both used Epstein to take the plunge? I think not.

Well, we can’t vote him out of office. And any damage to Murdoch is a net positive. My worry is the complete lackluster resistance by the Democratic Party, it’s just pathetic and they should all be ashamed

Everything about Trump has been under reacted to. He was always a vulgar parasite. But rich people have different standards, rules and laws than those of us actually doing the work in this shithole country.

Murdoch and Vance are In cahoots (they met in Wyoming days before WSJ release) to push trump out and Vance in, was the plan all along.

I’m sure he’s disappointed that he has to sue instead of just pushing the oligarch out a window.

I hope it's mutually assured destruction between those two. Fuck both of them with razor blades.

If chump really wanted to hurt rupert, why doesn’t he just send the marines to take over the company? A lawsuit is a means of transferring money to chump.

Yes, but in this case, "does not end well, for which side.

What a dork.

Murdoch is out as Musk! The active asshole in the back is Thiel and his Faggots Rubio and Vance!

But wouldn’t Thiel want his puppet Vance as president?

Are you talking open windows in tall buildings?

I’d stay away from any windows above the first floor.

He’s already fallen out with Musk, and now with Murdoch? The next step in the plot should be a Musk-Murdoch alliance.

Two self centered oligarchs cannot exist in an alliance for very long.

Popcorn, please!

Here you go..

The fact that Trump is making enemies out of the wealthiest men on the planet, who helped him get where he is at today, should not go unnoticed. May Trump's actions backfire in the most powerful way!

WSJ knew they would be sued but published anyway, so what was their motive?

I would say that Vance will be president soon.

Of all the possible outcomes, this one is the worst.

He’s a bad man, true - but he doesn’t have the charisma Trump’s maga followers see in the unflushable orange turd. So that’s going to crumble the cult.

Haven't we learned in the 45ish years of TACO's rise that he has nothing but disdain for two things: The fifth estate Critics Now he has the power to punish those who fit in that venn diagram and anyone who doubts he'll use it more and more, truth be damned, just isn't paying attention.

I am struggling to side Rupert Murdoch while Fox News is intentionally destroying in country.

Maybe they’ll mutually destroy each other. Got a feeling Diaper King has a LOT more to lose at the moment though.

I have the expectation that he escapes this Because 50 years of criminality, including trying to overthrow the government, and suffering NO consequences, not to mention being reelected… WTF America

Putin does this all the time.

What can we do besides vote? The #MAGA base is already circulating all manner of excuses for Trump including Trump shouldn't disclose the Epstein files because he can use the info as leverage against the people in them to end wars, etc.

What can we do???? Here is what we MUST do. Stop buying anything not necessary. Everyone who is able must participate in a national strike for as long as it takes to show the MAGA Congress that they need to fear US more than MAGA voters.

Unfortunately Too many people have been buying only what's necessary for too long.

Implosion begins!

Just warn him if he follows through with the suit Murdoch will direct Fox to report facts, the truth. Easy peasy.

Murdoch better stay away from windows

I guess the MAGA Minions are admitting that the criminal fascist regime has no intention of giving up power

I agree. Also...I can't believe that the WSJ would be so reckless as to not have their ducks in a row on this. When you take a shot at the King you better not miss.

Comrade Trump can handle Murdock at least as well as his hero Stalin handled Trotsky.

It would make my day if I woke up and suddenly, Faux was anti-Dumpster. I’d probably have some friends over for pizza and watch the show.

bsky.app/profile/af68...

True but I’m also enjoying it. Every day my grandparents experience in 1930s Germany comes a little more into focus. The fall of democracy and rise of fascism needs to be explained better in schools. You know, how confusing it is to live through it.

True, Ms. Martine, but it may also be generational. Young Americans were once raised in awareness of their responsibilities. Now they focus on greed and entitlements.

That is also true, some time in the last 10-15 years we went from a consensus that the Holocaust was bad, and Nazis were bad to: “It was so long ago.” “It has nothing to do with me.” “America is a hypocritical nation.” And… “Hitler had some good points, fascism is sexy and exciting.”

Yes, Hitler may have had his flaws but he was always a delight with his grandkids.

Richard III

The US is under attack, not from an invading army, but more like a virus. Americans bolstering Democracy must think and act like the public health professionals at the beginning of the pandemic. Eradicating Project 2025 policies must mirror the COVID vaccine invention and implementation--NOW

Not sure that anyone is underreacting since we all know Donald loves 🌮 🌮 and is extremely performative. 🤷🏾‍♂️

As long as people like Gertz are still on X we’re fucked IMHO

Are you thinking of Matt Gaetz the sleazy former congressman? This is a different guy (not sleazy and gets confused with Gaetz frequently)!

No and I followed Gertz when i was on Twitter and used to rib on him every time Gaetz was mentioned. He’s a decent guy and I can’t for the life of me understand why a decent person would spend one minute on that fascist sewer. But that’s where we are and to me that means we’re fucked.

Oh, gotcha! Haha. That makes sense and I agree. I dumped my Twitter account in January.

post lather repeat

#GOPAreSiditiousTraitors

In Russia, the disobedient oligarchs accidentally fall out of windows...

Discovery may be interesting

I would really enjoy a poor ending for Trump.

Dorito Assholini clearly thinks he’s completely untouchable, which will just add to the glee that all sane people will experience when he and everyone attached to him goes down in a horrifying ball of flames.,

Why are corporate media so scared of the 🍊💩?!?

5th-story windows.

So, in other words, it’s just a matter of time before the American elite needs to avoid 3rd-story windows?

Murdoch is NOT going to exit spacetime as the guy who exposed Taco and brought him down. That would be his end legacy and he certainly doesn't want that on his d*ath bed.

i’m so tired of pundits saying “we’re underreacting.” i donate, i demo, i call my reps (all dems), i write postcards, i lie awake nights in terror of what might happen next. what would be an appropriate level of reaction to messr gertz & his ilk? a stroke?

Thank you for all you do, even the sleepless nights. Lol, I am right there with you, and I see you and appreciate you. I know it seems pointless now, but one day it will come together. Sending strength and resolve.

Exactly. I've boycotted everything, put up "elect a clown, get a circus" stickers, protest... Etc. Like what else. I'd love to scream at him in person.

in person? i won’t say. i’ve already been suspended here once.

Let's hope so.

Now he's targeting AI speech. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/whit...

Lol "ends well" is relative

Didn’t Putin do the same thing to his oligarch buddies? Tell old Rupert to stay away from windows above the first floor.

#krasnov WANTS to be Putin. Putin IS Putin. Big difference. Also, Murdoch could buy Тяцмр 6 times over.

Is it too far fetched to expect a Night of the Long Knives 2.0? Birkenau, established in 1933, first housed political opponents.

Trump sues everyone; that’s why it isn’t really taken seriously. Let the 2 rich guys battle it out in court. Yawn.

Doesn't end well for whom? Only the stupist MAGA cult voters are stubborn enough to dig-in when Trump is destroying their lives & not responding to their needs & wishes. We need to reinforce the extent of it by counteracting the false messages they get from their brown-nosing media. #maga #gop

“The Soul, The Strongman, and The Second Sex” The MAGA rally isn’t just a stage. It’s a womb. Trump is the father-god, seeding his myth. The crowd is his midwife, birthing his legend. His cult must reproduce his image— or else he dies. 🧭 Read → noshortcutstonow.substack.com/p/field-note...

LFG

Reaction policing is the new cool thing. What’s the proper way to react? It’s a squabble between 2 evil men and my bet is on Murdoch bc he’s looking to the future and DonOLD is the past. Also, #epsteintrump isn’t a great sell to advertisers if Fox were to cave. Cowardice and avarice 2025

If Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch were serious about hurting Dump, why is Fox News still defending him?

No idea. Scheming takes time? Lawsuit complications? He owns the WSJ and they published first so he’s not trying to kill the story.

But that was my question last week too. Why only one media channel? maga typically does not read WSJ, they listen to Fox though. Maybe that’s the unmentioned threat by Murdoch. I’ll force release to Fox unless….

What we know is #epsteintrump were shit peas in a shit pod. Murdoch had to know the story was going to print. He didn’t kill it. MAGA grifters will stick with Тяцмр until the money dries up. My guess is Murdoch is smart enough & rich enough to get out before the ketchup hits the fan. How? 🤷

Someone once told me that going to war with a company that buys ink by the barrel wasn't wise.

We went from zero to Putin in 3 seconds. Rupert better stay away from hotel windows.

Murdoch is in on it. This is just a way for him to make an otherwise-illegal "campaign contribution" when he settles.

Hey Pedo Gaetz STFU.

He's suing because Murdoch won't stand by a window in a high-rise building, and a missile strike would be too obvious.

So very Putin of him!

Its not an UNDERREACTION...its another distraction. 2 Bullies suing each other deserve their day in court. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Is there precedent for this?

one can only hope for the worst for Trump!

They’ll drop and re-file, you know, that forum shopping they rail against

Popping my popcorn 🍿 !

Kabuki. The chances this reaches trial = 0.0000%

Well yes, if it gets to that point, that means Krasnov would have given a deposition and that won't go well.

Please don't belittle Kabuki. This is more like slapstick sadist comedy.

Yeah, things are going to get worse before they get better...

Umm Yeah. All of this 👆. It’s high past time to collectively wake the fuck up .

I look forward to discovery.

We should be seeing a thousand articles about Vance meeting with Murdoch. It could really be the end of America.

Hmmm I really think the don is the CON and we’ve all been had, by some billionaire man baby, with his swollen legs just being the epitome of his evilness seeping out of his decaying body

KINDA LIKE HIS CAREER………

I hope it doesn't.

Hurry up to the bunker scene.

Yes!!

Maybe the supporters of the would be dictator need to be reminded of all the folks who've fallen out of windows or have suspicious deaths in Russia.

Trump maybe welcoming these lawsuits to portray himself as "PROTECTOR OF OLIGARCHY RIGHTS TO PRIVACY" I am sure there are"friends of Epstein" demanding to remain anonymous. Either they needed donation for political/charitable issues; or needed his networking services; or in need of pedo massages.

That’s why Trump said that some could be guilty just by association.

Well, he should let evidence speak loud and clear. Right now we are driving blindfolded in disgusting neighborhood. Trump also could be using this as distraction and test of loyalty. He schemes and cheats.

A lawsuit means on the record, under oath depositions about all things Epstein in the mad king's past. Including parties he's attended, where, when and with who. There is no upside to this for the mad king.

Unless they settle out.

That is true. Given the players and the stakes, I'm at 50/50 on a settlement. Should they produce the birthday card in court, the judge will toss the case.

Then there is the fact that this would mean the Epstein story never dies. A daily drip drip of the lawsuits progress, including all the juicy bits that we all know will leak out.

Just a matter of time before he sues Musk for $200B+ on a flimsy pretext.

Honestly...I don't trust Murdoch at all. Something's up here and it smells fishy

Before you know it, people will be accidentally falling out of windows … Right Vlad?

Epstein, Jean-Luc Brunel, Virginia Giuffe…Butler…

Ivana

Oof.

Yup. She is a big one

Trump filed pro se - please explain this George - why that strategy?

Any chance Murdoch and Felons battle is theatre? Murdoch will pay him off ( launder money) and then Felon gets to say Epstein story is fake.

Hmmm

As I mentioned in earlier posts, Do the oligarchs think they’re safe❓

Watching for “he fell out of a window”.

We average Americans have enough on our plates trying to keep enough on our plates, since Trump and the GOP are making everything more difficult and more expensive. If the grifter in chief wants to engage in mortal combat with Musk or Murdoch or Bezos or even Thiel, have at it.

Huh? I think it might end beautifully.

We know Trump’s a huge Putin fan. Murdoch should stay away from windows.

Isn’t Murdoch a big Putin fan too? His last wife was married to a Russian oligarch. Like the British royal family, he likes a good Russian oligarch and the Saudis and Qataris.

The WSJ said they are confident in the evidence they have for trial. This could be really good.

My concern is this is all part of the plan. There are people way smarter than useful idiot Trump ready to take over. They have known about the Epstein pedophilia connection for years... why now?

47 is not an idiot! He plays the people perfectly. He has been given a pass all his life! He is not dumb! We are being played!

For the same reason Biden didn't release them

Biden was never out for retribution This is now trump’s vengeance tour. Forget presidential. He only wants to do harm.

Sorry, that was JANUARY of 2024. Biden had 10 months to unseal them and tell the public. Trump would have become unelectable. Why, Biden, why?

Because he also has friends and colleagues on the list. They all do. Only the very young in government right now are willing to get that list released. Because they know they’re not on it. It will be a good way to remove a lot of the dead weight from Congress.

Maxwell appealed her conviction and it wasn't until September 2024 that the courts denied her. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If the files implicate several prominent Democrats as well as Republicans, and Biden knew that, he might have been protecting them (or was concerned if he outed them, he would lose their support for re-election).

*IF* oh I’m sure there are a handful of prominent Dems in those files. But it’s unlikely Biden was protecting them, and he certainly wasn’t worried about his own campaign after July. I’m curious if there were Courts in other nations that asked him to keep them sealed while they investigated people?

Well, yeah. That was the gist of what I was saying. That Biden knew it could be risky. And to that end, just because it wasn't "his" re-election, it was his party's re-election that would depend on the good graces of many of those very powerful people. Whoever exposes them will face consequences.

The British connection comes to mind

Yeah, Prince Andrew definitely came to mind. And then I wonder how many others there are that hail from different countries.

Nothing makes Trump inelectable for his cult. Should be abondantly clear by now!

And you think Republicans would have believed it coming from Biden?

Maybe some. Especially with pictures and videos. And some of the lazy asses who didn’t vote might have been more motivated.

But there already were pictures and videos 🤷‍♂️

I’m thinking they would have called that election interference and blamed Biden

Yep same reason Garland dragged his feet so damn long

Or at least, *A* reason

Biden’s Admin knew that. Also, tyRump says Comey, Biden and Obama made it all up. BS The investigations happened 2006-08, and 2019 under George W. Bush and Trump respectfully. Comey was outside the FBI during them. Federal investigations by FBI & SD Florida in ‘06 and in ‘19 SDNY filed charges.

Absolutely.

💯

You honestly think Trump would have become unelectable by the GOP? Think again: an insurrectionist, a traitor, a felon and a rapist. Their candidate. Even now they support him. And as mentioned: Biden let the DoJ operate independently.

In addition to what others have said in response to this post, Biden didn’t have to feed the Democratic Party base about releasing the files. The only people clamoring for the release are the MAGA idiots.

The intelligence agencies may be part of this, and if so exposing a scandal involving our CIA using Epstein for blackmail would not be a can you want to open

Not to mention they *still don't even know* if he was a foreign asset

The Epstein case is explosive—it spanned many years and likely involved a significant element of extortion. There are going to be countless angles, and anyone closely tied to it may not come out unscathed.

Michael Cohen was on MSNBC last night and said that he believes Murdoch will ultimately settle for like $10million or so, in donations to Trump's library. That thought has dampened my optimism. He's been wrong before, but he does know Trump and the inner workings of these people.

No—this isn’t part of some master plan. That’s a trauma response. Refusing to confront what’s harmful because we fear what might come next has to 🛑. Yes, we may get hurt. But Trump will definitely keep causing harm. This moment matters. Momentum matters. Don’t flinch—fight forward.

Yes, it is But that doesn't put us at odds. You're looking at this bend in the road. We see a map that shows this same bend& UNIFIED EXECUTIVE path beyond. 4th Estate erosion &Boots-on-the-Ground thru BBB's ICE money & Congress ready to grant Executive MOAR & The Supreme Court giving Exec rest

Could drag on longer than the OJ case but I'll take what we can get 🙏

Murdoch didn't fire all his guns at once. He's locked and loaded for more. Discovery will be a nightmare for him.

Has anyone read exactly why Trump is suing WSJ & Murdoch? It’s NOT about the RELEASE of the B-DAY CARD. It’s not even mentioned! Trump claims the article made several defamatory statements including this below👇.

Wasn't he a friend and pal?????

Best of friends according to Epstein.

They looked pretty close in all the photos.

I’ve really been trying to hold on to hope. In this instance, I hope they all destroy each other.

I'm thinking this is just another grift with shiny object attached, to make the whole Epstein thing look less serious WSJ publishes weak story, dijit sues, b4 discovery WSJ settles ooc, dijit walks away w $1B tax free, JE storyline made to look weak, Rupert just paid dijit for helping destroy USA.

Ends well for whom? The litigants? What a pity.

Matt! What up Pimp?

I hope Pedo-Felon47 & his corrupt administration fall flat on their evil faces!!!

I would say they already are!

I know what Putin would do, But what do you think trump will do?

The Murdoch dichotomy puzzles me. On the one hand, you have Fox News wholeheartedly supporting trump and bashing anyone who challenges his regime. On the other hand, you have the WSJ exposing trump’s sexual abuse and getting sued by trump but still supporting trump on Fox. Huh?

You’re only a real authoritarian if you’re from the authoritarian region of Russia.

probably Murdoch should stay away from windows because isn’t that how the Putin playbook goes?

Doesn’t mean he’s a smart authoritarian

It's Happening!

I'm here for it, anyway.

I think the "adults" realize that Grampa is going to drive off a cliff with them in the car. So they are going to take the keys. They know they will lose power in' 26 This is their best chance to dethrone him before the elections.

Release the #EpsteinFiles and get that filthy old child rapist and his corrupt friends out of the oval office.

Does Murdoch’s penthouse have many windows?

Sounds like Putin and Khodorkovsky, which ended up with Khodorkovsky going to join for "tax fraud."

You know what would make my day? If Ivanka had a pang of conscience and came forward and said that Trump sexually abused her. Perfecto!
