This reply is moronic. Why would anyone assume that no one would write to NASA until they already had an astronaut in space? The Astronaut Selection program started in 1959. Plans to train and send astronauts into space were not secret. I would be shocked if NASA didn't get tons of letters from kids of all ages as soon as the program started. An 11 or 12-year old Clinton writing to them isn't even slightly unlikely.
Also, who fucking cares about Hillary now? Stop trying to distract from the Epstein files.
This is a very old meme. It looks to be from 2019, and is just another repost by a random person (or bot) on the Internet. It has nothing to do with Epstein on any level.
The distraction machinery definitely uses bots and it seems like an easy strategy to just reuse posts that did well. Not saying that this definitely is part of that. But I'd be careful with sentences like "It has nothing to do with Epstein on any level."
Very old meme followed by 2019 does not work in my head. I was expecting something like 2012, lol.
The tweet is stupid, but dude not everything is about Epstein.
Perhaps not, but there's no harm in making sure the Epstein scandal doesn't get pushed out of the news cycle by distracting topics like this until the files are released.
How many topics on the front page are not the Epstein file? Should we complain at all of those posts? It's ridiculous. I guess we can't talk about the genocide in Gaza either until the list is released. This is the problem with the "but this is not the topic I think is important" argument. One could make a counter claim against their preferred issue with any other important issue. How dare we even bring up the Epstein list while a genocide is happening? ...would say someone who doesn't want the Epstein list released. Shoe horn arguments are only used by dishonest people. "No topic can exist by my topic" is kind of a ridiculous claim.
It fucking should be
I mean you do you but people can have thoughts idependent of the files.
