Release the Trumpstein files
- I bought the latest illustrated hardcover version of the Trumpepstein Bears and met me tell you, these kids today are exposed to way different reading material than I was
woody allen is not exactly the most surprising.
- A household name among the Hollywood pedophiles
  No shame about it either.
- Also, HE'S NOT FUNNY!!!
  His movies are forgettable. He's like Jay Leno, popular beyond all reason for having done nothing meaningful.
  
  Why drag Leno into this?
  
  His early work is good. Bananas, Sleeper, Annie Hall. Manhattan gets a mention for Allen being so cringing self aware that he made a movie about dating someone inappropriately younger.
  Like Leno he has a reputation based entirely from those few early years. But most comics never even get an early reputation.
Original article and pics:

Apparently, he had a lot of video cameras. Hmmmm.
Along with trump in photos with epstein,
Pope John Paul II, Mick Jagger, Elon Musk, Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Richard Branson, Saudi Arabia crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and former Trump White House adviser, Steve Bannon.
- Fidel Castro?
  
  Bro was playing all sides.
- Well that's gross
- Noam Chomsky? Oh Jesus
  e: I guess not in pictures, but the article
  
  im not surprised, he is a shill for putin after all.
Oh look musk is in there too
- No way?! I thought he just had Kung fu lessons with Ghislaine Maxwell. No way that was coded language... Right?
Steve Bannon, lol
- That guys a fucking scourge.
Wow that is the tackiest residence I think I've ever seen, and I've seen some pretty bad ones.
Money definitely can't buy taste.
- You on the right post?
  
  Sorry, I followed the link to the New York Times post the article quoted, forgot it wasn't the linked article itself.
- Yikes! You weren't kidding. Tacky, tacky, tacky.
So many people connected to that guy. Makes me wonder if he only offered girls to the people who passed the "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" test.
"Do you like young girls, know what I mean, know what I mean?"
Hard to believe every one of them was a pedophile or knew and let it slide. That many people surely couldn't keep a secret of that magnitude.
- I think the girls were probably just the most scandalous thing he could offer. I’m sure he was able to provide for whatever your vice might be. Girls just have a way of being better witnesses than cocaine.
What numerical value best estimates a "trove"? More than fifty? Five hundred to ten thousand? Over a million? Who's working on this?
- I think the definition is relative to the scarcity of known information, so three ancient manuscripts by Diogenes would be a trove since we know very little of his ideas, but three manuscripts by Kant, though intriguing, would not be a trove (unless maybe they contained stuff totally different from the work we do have).
Since people seem to pay more attention, we should call it The Israelis Starve Gazans With US Backing Scandal.
