    Nothing came out that proved anything, lol. “Hundreds of hours of audio but I won’t share any of it even though the election is right around the corner”, huh?

    Please.

    Still waiting on that n-word tape, and the pee tape, and so on, by the way.

    Trump has said and done enough stupid shit without people like this making up random bullshit and never producing the evidence they pretend to have, while idiots like the OOP run with it.

      Right? It’s not like there was a tape of Epstein saying Trump and he were best friends for 10 years. Right? Even if there was, it could be fake. Even if it’s not fake, it doesn’t matter right? It’s not like Trump supporters keeps calling dems pedophile and claim that the Truth about Epstein is hidden, right? Even if they did, the real problem is Bill Clinton right? Right?

        Fact is, if these hundreds of hours of incriminating audio existed, and especially in the possession of an opponent, they’d have been released already, because there is every reason to do so and no reason not to.

        That’s all there is to it.

        Not that it even really matters. To say there is no shortage of genuine, provable bad/immoral action taken by the man is a colossal understatement. We don’t NEED to latch on to bullshit like this that’s obviously just trying to make headlines. Hammer home the shit that CAN’T be plausibly denied.

        I swear, if this dipshit actually wins this election, after everything that’s happened…

        But no, let’s all pretend he was sucking an invisible dick on stage instead, let’s spend a lot of time on that. It’s like you WANT to lose.

        So frustrating.

      I don’t know what the deal with the pee tape was. The problem with Trump isn’t that he likes watersports. The problem is that he’s a far-right wannabe dictator.

      Like, sure, it would be the source of endless jokes, but I doubt it would change anyone’s vote.

        but I doubt it would change anyone’s vote.

        The hypocrisy is annoying. A non Democrat has something mildly spicy and it’s all pearl clutching and condemnations. A republican assaults a woman and it’s “oh well she had it coming”

        The right wing seems to have “in group” as the primary condition for judgement. Everything else is secondary. That is a horrible moral framework.

      I think this is the source of the story. It’s from James Truman’s and Michael Wolff’s podcast Fire and Fury. You may remember Michael from his media appearances after writing his book by the same name about the beginning of the Trump administration.

      I haven’t listened to it, but no one has yet linked to it in these comments.

        Thanks for actually producing something substantial.

        Of course, the fact remains that there is already more than enough 100% confirmed stuff to nail him on. Unfortunately the hyper-short attention span of most people today means they usually care more about how new a thing is, than how severe it is.
