i'm willing to bet money his properties are used for trafficking given some of the Diddy events that's happened at his places in NYC and his connections to the mob. makes sense to have an international chain that caters specifically to the rich. i wonder if any of his properties sell pizza 🤔

Didn't that victim who died in the last year used to work for him before getting trafficked?

Yup. Jizzlaine maxwell recruited her out of mar e lago. It was probably a major hub for new "recruits" (victims)

The 1% are looking at the other 2% and going "wait, you are too poor to be involved in this high level of a crime.. right? I am confused why you are pro-coverup is all."

Wow way to generalize an entire group of people that might just be composed of a subset of pedos surrounded by a crowd of powerful people who are totally fine with it so long as it advances their power and leverage over others!

There is such an important difference!

....

Words matter!

So do actions!

Or knowing inaction against powerful people committing sexual assault on minors!

I mean, let's not be too harsh on oligarchs...

3%? Good god, they’ve even lost a bit of the Lizardman constant.

At best, Trump protects the pedos, at worst, he is a pedophile himself.

If there’s anything we can all agree on, it’s wanting transparency—of course, what we want it on may differ. However, apparently 97% of us can agree on not fucking kids. Maybe there is hope?

I mean kinda. He could have done like Obama and Guantanamo and pretended to work on it for years. It would have been a more dishonest form of lying than what we got.
