Maybe the real reason Trump doesn’t want these files released? He was sucking off some guy named Bubba?

    Now Mark Epstein says Bubba is someone powerful but not a public figure.

    But to a bottom like Trump, a cock is a cock and he always knows the right thing to do with a cock, man or animal.

    Yknow, it wouldn’t surprise me if Trump was more worried about being viewed as gay than he was worried about being seen as a rapist pedophile

      Not just gay; it’s the power hierarchy that’s the real problem for conservatives here. It would be much less of an issue for Trump if the story was about Bill Clinton blowing him

    We live in a reality where Bill Clinton holding a press conference for denying sexual relations with Donald Trump is plausible now.

      Roman attitudes towards sex were based on power and control. It wasn’t seen as a connection between two individuals, that was secondary. It was informally allowed for a high ranking official to have sex with individuals below them in status including other men and adolescents without harm to one’s reputation.

      Having sex with a man of higher status was seen as emasculating and worthy of ridicule. Essentially it was seen as taking on the role of the woman in a relationship and women were very much subservient to men in this society.

      Christianity has had a cultural impact on some of these views but there are definitely times when it seems like modern Western cultural attitudes (especially amongst regressives) have not progressed very far beyond that old conceptualization of sexual relationships.

      Tl;dr: Having a sexual encounter with a man of higher status is feminizing which is more damning than crimes against humanity to the backwards minded.

          Ancient India and China (largely due to Dharmic and Daoist philosophies). The political aspects which make up 80% of the Kama Sutra are undeniably feminist by many standards, promoting female education, financial autonomy, right to divorce, agency and consent. It also promotes respectful treatment towards female sex workers. It’s not perfect, but it sought to describe an ideal perspective towards sex according to Dharmic philosophy at the time.

          Ancient Egypt, Mesoamerican and other Indigineous cultures also did not perceive sex in what I’d describe as a simple minded penetrative dominance.

            I’ve read multiple translations of the Tao Te Ching I don’t recall any guidance either way on sex and power.

            Happy to be corrected.

            Also understand that daoism is bigger than that and it may come from there.

              While the Tao Te Ching is Taoism’s primary text, it’s basically just Taoist philosophy distilled to its essential form. It doesn’t give you very much beyond “there is this thing called the Tao (the way), and here’s a bit about what that tells us about the universe and how to exist in it, at a very high level.”

              There are other Taoist texts which are less lofty, and much more comprehensive and practical. The biggest is the Daozong (Taoist Canon). It’s massive, so I’m guessing you’d find what you asked about in there. The only problem is finding a good translation if you can’t read any (ancient) Chinese.

      That’s conservative values for you. Churches have excused pedophilia and abuse since the beginning of time. They’re also homophobic but only to the bottoms. So their actions are in line with their belief system. It’s extra funny that Trump is a bottom.

    Although it obviously a joke, in the spirit of all the fucking hellscape Republicans have put us through, and the fact that they’ve literally killed the power of truth, I’m going to go ahead and roll with this.

    He definitely, positively, eagerly sucked Bill Clinton’s dick. No shadow of a doubt. The evidence is right there. And even if it’s not, he did it anyways.

    Wait wait wait wait… It’s real?

    I thought it was just an edited email to make it look like it was Trump and Clinton. Why would Trump want more investigation into Clinton?

    Actually nevermind, after rereading it I’m almost certain it’s a joke since they’re referencing Putin having the “dirt” on him. That’s gotta be a joke.

      The idea that Bubba is Bill Clinton is the part I have a hard time believing. And I think it might be a joke. But I also think it’s possible that Trump performed oral on someone or something named Bubba.

      I’ve never heard that nickname for Bill Clinton before. Maybe I live under a rock or maybe it’s a private nickname that could be corroborated elsewhere in the Epstein files, but idk he’s never looked like a “Bubba” to me.

      More critically, I have a hard time believing the 2016 election cycle plays out the way it did if this were the case.

      But I do think it’s clear there’s SOMETHING that Trump doesn’t want the public to know about. And I don’t think he or his base care about him being with 16 year old girls. Or even his daughter. What could it be that Trump would be scared of his base knowing about?

      So I think Bubba could be another dude. Or perhaps a gigantic novelty dildo. Or maybe even an animal.

      Edit: For everyone getting caught up in the nickname, Mark Epstein has said that it wasn’t Bill Clinton. Plus, even if you don’t believe him it still doesn’t make sense that it’s Bill with how 2016 played out.

        Bubba is a well known nickname for Bill (Clinton), it’s a term of endearment in the South.

          Can confirm, I had a very Southern manager at a job keep referring to me as Bubba and he didn’t understand why I didn’t like that. Of course, with this news that takes on a way weirder connotation lol

        Bubba is also the name often given to the apocraphyl man who rapes you in prison.

          yeah, “blowing bubba” could easily just be a cringe phrase for “eating crow” or “wearing the hair shirt”, “making the boss happy”, “doing what you gotta do” etc. but fr who the fuck knows at this point

        He’s an easygoing southerner who was considered fat in the 90s, I could see a bunch of New Yorkers calling him bubba. I haven’t looked into it at all, but the nickname seems somewhat fitting

      It might not be. I could see Putin telling trump to do it or a pee tape video or maybe a child rape video was going to be released. I could see trump complying under those circumstances.

          Videos are so easy to fake these days that nobody would believe it even if he did release one.

          The right would denounce it immediately as fake news from trump haters

          The left would say hang on, slow down, there are some weird artefacts here…this could be a false flag fake video to incite violence so that trump has an excuse to deploy more troops on election day.

      Yep. They made the 23,000 documents searchable. I typed in “bubba” and this email was one of like 8 results that popped up.
