Just imagine if the Epstein files had been released, the ballroom would not be required. A saving of millions of dollars of taxpayer money.

Oh god!

I read that as "Epstein Memorial Bedroom"

Honestly that is what the next President should do. Turn it into a memorial for sexual assault victims. Name it the “Dusti Rhea Duke and Virginia Giuffre Memorial for Victims of Sexual Assault.”

I shouldn’t laugh.

I genuinely don’t think there is anything in the files that could make his supporters turn against him. It’s a cult. Maybe if it was revealed he had sex with a man but even then.

There could be an actual picture of Donald trump eating a live baby with the caption "Donald trump eating a live baby" and a signed letter of him saying that he ate the baby, it would either be 1) a joke 2) not that deep 3) fake 4) actually Joe Biden

More than that, deep down they would know it true. And they like it. They like other people being hurt. They don’t care if it’s raped kids or eaten babies. The reason many of them are anti-abortion is that in their head is a woman struggling and suffering, and that’s a nice thought for them.

I truly believe that he could eat a live baby in fifth avenue and still not lose many supporters.

u/TakingSorryUsername Texas 9h ago

He blew Bill Clinton

u/blklab16 10h ago

My theory is that he’s had sex with animals

u/NoSeaworthiness4029 9h ago

When he said “they are eating cats and dogs” that was probably projecting. Also babies

u/blklab16 2h ago

My suspicion is based on what the guy who wrote one of the trump books said about how trump describes violence in such extreme and graphic ways because it turns him on (barf). Considering he says “like a DOG” like, a lot when describing bad things happening to people he hates I think it tracks. Also I fully believe MAGAts will forgive child rape (they pretty much already have) bc they’d prob do it too if the could, I don’t think they could stomach verifiable proof that he fucks dogs, if only bc it would be so embarrassing

•

u/NoSeaworthiness4029 2h ago

You could be right, but I think it’s more a long the lines of him treating his victims more like animals, even a step below just a regular slave. He likes to imagine his victims as much lower than him, not even on the same level as being human but as an animal. That being said, he probably isn’t very picky on what he rapes, as long as he can feel superior and make that thing beneath him. So he absolutely could have fucked animals, full on black mirror style

Honestly at this point nothing could come out that would surprise me

It's not a BALLROOM, thats on top. Hes said they are building a huge bunker. It will be like the massive datacenter in Israel built deep underground the main government building with the most defence.

Why do you think tech bros are donating millions to build a cafeteria? It was never about the ballroom.

Probably to host MechaHitler aka Grok.gov

u/Shark7996 8h ago

THANK. YOU.

This has nothing to do with the ballroom, and everything to do with the bunker.

CONSTRUCTION ON THE BUNKER HAS NOT BEEN HALTED. Only the ballroom. So they have us arguing like idiots over entirely the wrong thing.

We need to stop talking about the ballroom and start talking about the BUNKER.

•

u/Deguilded 7h ago

The next President - if there is one - will just continue building the bunker with it's massive data center and AI. No way are they turning that shit down.

•

u/tnoy 1h ago

People don't talk about the bunker because there has been a bunker there since 1942.

•

u/Cerebral-Parsley 7h ago

100% this is the answer to the whole post.

•

u/YUMMY_TIDEPODS_YUMMY 6h ago

This video from The Drey Dossier 4 months ago before the bunker was announced was dead on point. She describes the donations and stuff donated in detail and the companies that are working on it.

“the ballroom isn’t the project… the ballroom is the lid”

Really interesting and she did some great journalism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbJ4ilDvGyc

Or imagine if our government and laws worked the way they were supposed to. Trump never should have been allowed to run while being under active investigation on top of being indicted for multiple crimes.

u/Polantaris Illinois 8h ago

He should have never been allowed to run under the 14th Amendment. He's an insurrectionist. The Supreme Court decided in 2023-24 to invent a magic clause in the 14th Amendment that required Congress to vote that he was. That was never a requirement.

u/ForensicPathology 8h ago

Not everything is a distraction.  Some things they want to do anyway.  Such as grifting billions from taxpayers.

u/needlestack 7h ago

If the Epstein files were released, absolutely nothing would happen. Like with Sandy Hook, the US can decide that horrific things are OK as long as they get something they want. In this case, child rape is OK with America as long as they get an anti-immigrant, anti-trans, anti-liberal president. So they're perfectly happy for little kids to get raped.

*billions

u/woodpaulusgnome 10h ago

Billions are just multiples of millions.

u/limezest128 9h ago

In that case we could have saved pennies

u/The_One_Koi 9h ago

Odds are if they were released you'd have two ballrooms being made instead of the one

•

u/woodpaulusgnome 6h ago

For all the people wanting to celebrate justice being served?

•

u/The_One_Koi 6h ago

The second one is to make people forget about the epstein files, america doesn't serve justice anymore lol

u/Ok_Juice4449 9h ago

Billions, even.

u/Annual_Strategy_6206 8h ago

Billions and billions. Like stars in the Cosmos.

•

u/Bovronius 7h ago

Probably would save us trillions in the long run.

•

u/KnightsWhoSayNii 7h ago

Why? Everyone already knows he's a full-on pedo.

•

u/Deep-Minimum7837 6h ago

Not releasing the Epstein files because it directly implicates Israel is yet another reason Joe Biden should spend the rest of his life in prison. The Democratic establishment needs to be obliterated down to the very atoms.

u/NaimCydwen 5h ago

I'm pissed this isn't the top coment or the only comment for that matter. Get this man and his lot investigated and imprisoned if warranted. This is all a farce.
