    This letter was written immediately before his suicide, and acknowledges his plan to do it. That makes this a deathbed confession, and they should hang Trump with it.

    The article is overstating the importance. By now everyone knows Trump is a pedo and loves SA. Or if they don’t, they never will.

    FFS the victims have been around for twenty years, and we already have clear physical evidence. One more piece of paper might help with a conviction (good luck getting that after he’s out of the White House before he dies), but it’s not like the truth is even slightly hidden.

    And he admitted to so much bad stuff already, on camera, on TV, in writing, too. Forget the victims if you want (which you shouldn’t, but whatever), just take the man at his word and it’s all there.

    So far while poking around in certain places just to see what other reactions are floating around out there are, I’ve seen:

    “Who created this AI slop?”

    “Written by someone from MSM for clicks.”

    “Why didn’t Biden release this, clearly fake.”

    “This is worse than the fake birthday card.”

    “Clearly not related to Trump, but instead Clinton.”

    Intense cope is how I see it. Could it be fake? Maybe. I try to draw upon the things that have been said in the past, actions clearly on record/tape, literal confessions that are public from years ago, real-time goal post moving, and delection attempts.

    Innocent people don’t usually jump through so many hoops.

      “Why didn’t Biden release this, clearly fake.”

      Apparently, this was first released in 2023, during the Biden administration, and just sat there. Perhaps the media deserves some blame for not doing their jobs, as usual.

        They constantly repeat shit without really understanding it, a lot like parrots. They obviously don’t know how to actually identify AI slop.

        Volcanoes offer a very quick death. Your lungs calcificy rapidly during your descent, meaning if the drop doesn’t kill you (heart attack/shock), youre still dying quickly and relatively painlessly (as this all happens in a matter of seconds). If you get past that point, the magma itself will basically disintegrate your ability to feel on contact.

        So it’s almost a reward compared to slower methods, you could say. Not making a point. Just sharing some info.

        Yeah, this only reinforces Trump’s own admission. The “grab’em by the pussy” comment seemed like immature hyperbole, but with this letter, now it seems like grabbing a woman’s crotch is his signature move.

        It’s remarkable how quickly the pages that publish things like this or the 60 Minutes CECOT segment disappear. Putting it on the fediverse will hopefully protect it from being suppressed. Torrents are important too.

              This letter came to light in 2023. They’ve managed to keep it quiet for 2 years.

              Now it’s time to blow this up. This should be the first story on every evening newscast to tonight.

              But it won’t be, especially CBS. I’d be surprised if it even gets mentioned anywhere on TV.

              It’s on Reddit and other places too. Your coworkers haven’t heard of it yet because it dropped in the middle of the night. Stop expecting everyone else to be as terminally online as yourself.

          The use of the word “home” throws me off. If he said “out” I’d figure it was suicide but home is like “does epstein believe in some kind of afterlife?” Idk its weird. I almost wonder if there was a scheme to bust him out of prison but it turned into murdering him.

            He’s speaking in metaphor, which he seems to like doing often because, like his dumb pedophile cohort, he thinks he’s the Riddler or something.

            He doesn’t need to actually believe in an afterlife to reference one.

        It looks like the back of a postcard. Maybe the prison only allows postcards so they can read everyone’s mail? Seems like the kind of thing US prisons might do.

            On closer inspection the line down the middle is a bit wobbly and there are faint outlines around the pages. I think someone just scanned the envelope and pages and assembled them in the wrong order.

    "As you know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home. Good luck! We shared one thing… our love & caring for young ladies at the hope they’d reach their full potential

    Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch’ whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system. Life is unfair. Yours, J. Epstein"

    I will never understand how people could be this rich and do stupid shit like this.

    With all that money, you could go find the love of your life, travel the world with them, pay for all the mental and healthcare you need, be fit and live the rest of your life happily with your soulmate AND still even have the capacity to help others if you so desire.

    But instead they do this shit. I hate reality.

      You can become a multi-millionaire through honest hard work and responsibility. There are plenty of multi-millionaires who live the lifestyle you describe.

      You can’t really become a billionaire that way. You become a billionaire by being a greedy, manipulative narcissist, obsessed with wealth and power. That’s who you see doing this shit.

      They didn’t get rich by being good people.

      It’s another reason why we should always criticize people for how they obtained their wealth. Most of them did it by nefarious means.

      The people with all that money are the people so narrowly obsessed with money and/or the power money brings that they have dedicated their whole lives to taking it from others. Effectively that means only sociopaths who enjoy abusing others become that wealthy. People with more meaningful purpose in their lives, or who genuinely care for others, don’t become billionaires.

        They have OCD, which manifests itself as financial hoarding. If they were hoarding rusty cars on their property, or hundreds of cars, the authorities would step in, and end it.

        But if it’s money, then they are loaded as successful businesspeople, and strongly encouraged to expand their hoarding behavior.

        Confiscate their stolen hoard, and get them help for their mental illnesses.

    This article implies he was writing incriminating letters from jail, prior to choosing to kill himself. And there’s never a hint of self-awareness at the atrocious pain and harm he caused, just a constant entitlement to all women.

      Assuming it’s genuine, it also shows he considered himself a victim of unfair treatment right to the end. Unless it’s also a hint that the suicide was not of his own choosing, but that’s getting pretty speculative.

        Yeah theres already a lot of speculation and assumptions; I really don’t want to add to the scuttlebutt, but those were my first thoughts on reading the letter and figuring out when it was sent and where from. Let’s not mimic the QAnon approach though.
