Trump was friends with Epstein. Epstein was a rapist.

Trump is friends with McMahon. McMahon was a rapist.

Trump is friends with Matt Gaetz. Matt Gaetz is a statutory rapist.

Trump is friends with Jim Jordan. Jim Jordan facilitated rape.

Trump himself is- wait, I'm seeing a pattern here.

Don't forget Ghoul-ianni and the specifically underage encounter caught on tape by Sacha Baron Cohen.

HOW WAS THAT NOT THE END OF EVERYTHING EVER FOR THAT MAN

[–] CodeName@infosec.pub 38 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

A young woman enters the room and he immediately starts licking his chops and pulling his pants down. It was his first thought, his obvious modus operandi. How many underage girls did he abuse for that to become his pavolvian response? What gets me the most is that they pretend to be the moral arbiters for the country, but they are actually the monsters. It's really gross.

[–] Kata1yst@kbin.social 22 points 9 months ago

Honestly I have no idea. It's ridiculous.

[–] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 27 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That’s also how “Tucker” Carlson got his nickname, from what I heard.

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev 30 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Because his dates were so young he had to tuck them in at night?

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Nah cuz his nanny had a speech impediment.

[–] Guthix@midwest.social 29 points 9 months ago

Can't leave out that Trump not only was friends with McMahon, but went so far as to put his wife in his cabinet.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You and the court who found him guilty of rape...

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It was not a finding of guilt it was a finding of fact.

Donald J Trump is a rapist. That's a fact.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago

I mean yeah... And that fact implies he was found guilty.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

Just waiting for a pic to drop of Trump having a picnic with Jared Fogle.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 86 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nearly everyone who's ever worked with McMahon agrees that he's a piece of shit human being, so it wouldn't surprise me if every bit of this is true.

With that said, nothing's going to happen to him. Robert Kraft was caught on camera partaking in a sex trafficker's ring and the courts suppressed it. He still sits pretty in his owners box every Sunday and has his praises sung by the NFL.

[–] gastationsushi@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Robert Kraft got the billionaire treatment in court with a judge being hostile to the prosecution. They claimed the cops lied getting the search warrant. The courts even went so far to say this sex work wasn't coerced.

Many people would argue these masseuses were exploited, but this how capitalism works. The system ain't about to reform itself out of existence.

I have to admit, I never understood the first thing about Vince McMahon.

When I heard he was the multi-billionaire "founder" of wrestling I was like "Wait, I thought he was the ring announcer... how does THAT happen?"

I'm still not convinced it wasn't all just a gag.

[–] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Every year I’m convinced that more and more people are just Andy Kaufman in disguise.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

Wait until you find out that you've been Andy Kaufman in disguise this whole time.
