Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

If what he says is true, why lie and try to hide it? Sure, having your affairs brought out into the open is uncomfortable, but with it being a part of the Trump- Epstein files, the best thing to do would be to be up front and honest about why his name is coming up. Trying to hide it at first and then coming out with this sounds like a PR move. There is probably something he is trying to hide by sharing a partial truth.

Did he try to dose them with anti STD pills?

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Cool. Give your billions to the bottom 90%, and we'll decide whether to believe that's all you did with Epstein.

(We'll definitely decide to not believe you)

One of the few Russian works I know is "kompromat".

[–] Novis@lemdro.id 7 points 1 month ago

Don't believe him. It was probably MORE.

Trafficked sex slave girls. That's what he meant.

I’m conflicted in these situations.

Obviously apologizing is better than nothing but at the same time, it’s an empty gesture at this point given how there is no consequence.

The only benefit is that it’s another domino that hopefully leads to actual justice.

Would this not be called a trigamist? The two russian pros and Melinda?

"I am sorry (that I got caught) having relations with numerous russian women. Numerous delicious 11 year old russian 'women'.
I truly wish I had not been caught and I am sorry.
I want everyone to know that it will never happen again...mainly because I'm now far more cautious about the children I rape!"

I once blew $1000 over a weekend as a sp4 turned loose on Deutschland. most weekends were boring $50 in food/drink and vhs flicks. maybe see a movie. drunken debauchery can be expensive. can't happen in the states for reasons. easy to see how a bunch of repressed/warped by religion, suit-tie culture, American men can be sucked into compromising situations with mostly sex as the lure. whatever you want, a plane ride away with no accountability. oh the cameras? yeah they're everywhere. surprise! it's like someone watched candid camera and hatched a plan. 'affair', guess that's the suit-tie acceptable phrase
