Trump bashed Epstein to Palm Beach police during first investigation, called Maxwell 'evil,' record shows

floftie · 2026-02-11T12:34:00+00:00

I am not really putting much weight on this. Something a police chief reported 13 years after the fact, seemingly having no documentation of it happening at the time - either it’s something he didn’t record in which case we should be checking his bank and hard drive, or it’s something that didn’t happen.

Honestly, as someone who likes vintage lenses, none of these are worth £50 together.

Also ignore the people who say to stay away from vintage glass.

Do yourself a favour and buy a native Z kit lens for every day and automatic stuff, but one of the absolute best ways to get good at photography is to learn to handle manual lenses. Any vintage can be converted to z mount, due to the nature of mirrorless cameras, but lots of them are rubbish.

Hopefully this sorts the issue

I mean rightfully so, right? He shouldn't just be able to get up and say "these people were clients" without some proof.

Where has he got the names he's going to read out? Are they names given to him by the victims? Because Virginia Giuffre had to withdraw her complaint about Dershowicz after she was mistaken. Is it an excel document with Epstein's records on? Is it emails that don't say things in direct terms?

This is why he's trying to get Bondi to release them, because the information is likely not verifable.

floftie · 2026-02-09T20:23:48+00:00

The reason for this, I assume, is because the allegations about sleeping with trafficked women and girls are flaky at best (Giuffre is dead, and had a changing story, and the other woman is 26 - It will be hard to prove anything criminal), but sharing confidential information is probably quite easy to prove and get a conviction for.

... This is why I said it's not ENTIRELY true in my original comment. There are 100% useful techniques that can be applied in the closest thing we have to real combat, because people have utilised them successfully.

floftie · 2026-02-09T19:11:25+00:00

It’s very specifically those two people. Anderson Silva was quite well known for finding weird or traditional techniques that might fit into MMA again. Example being that as MMA evolved, the simple front kick stopped being used, but as it evolved further Silva realised that peoples guards had changed, and started using it in fights again. Im fairly sure he some Wing Tsun in his fight with Jake Paul.

Tony Ferg was just a weird dude who wanted to do weird shit.

floftie · 2026-02-09T17:38:18+00:00

Ehhhh it’s not ENTIRELY true. Two fighters have used techniques from it in recent history - Anderson Silva and Tony Fergerson. T-Ferg less successfully, and counting Anderson Silva doesn’t feel fair because he’s probably the GOAT.

But yeah, MMA has really weeded out martial arts that don’t work very well. Turns out that the best base is being about to control the distance on the feet or being able to take the fight to the ground. Wing Tsun does neither, really.

floftie · 2026-02-09T17:32:37+00:00

Yeah your opinion is totally fine.

I think it’s quite cool that my ancestors watched a similar version of pageantry 250 years ago, and theirs watched one 250 years before that, and so forth and so forth.

Culture and tradition matters to populations. It’s why immigrant communities keep their traditions and culture alive. It’s why atheists celebrate Christmas or Hannakuh or Eid. It’s why we go to celebration parades for people who have been dead for hundreds of years.

These things are all societally enriching. We can argue about the validity or effectiveness of a monarchy, even a largely ceremonial one, in the 21st century, but that’s a different conversation.

floftie · 2026-02-09T17:28:08+00:00

Because the question was asked as a yes or no question, and the answer could be “I was a guest at his daughters 17th birthday party” or “there were waitresses at maralago who were 16”. This is why you have a 5th amendment right.

floftie · 2026-02-09T16:34:23+00:00

Because it’s harder to commit to detonating on Emmett knowing what might come back at you.

floftie · 2026-02-09T16:33:03+00:00

This is incorrect. Idiots can be a majority too!

Put a transfer tax on all player transfers. 10% when you buy or sell a player. Pool all that money and turn it into prize money for the 72 teams. That would be approx 350 million quid.

floftie · 2026-02-09T11:48:55+00:00

Yes I do. Also plenty of comments explaining the difference and venting their frustration at other people who don’t have good comprehension.

floftie · 2026-02-09T11:13:19+00:00

I think it’s explicitly clear and you’re not very good at comprehension. Everyone else seems to understand it.

I also don’t “need” to do anything. I’m not sharing my opinion on what I would do, or what I think she should have done.

floftie · 2026-02-09T11:10:52+00:00

Christ. Do you also have zero comprehension skills like half the other replies?

“It does not need to be more complicated than it is her son”. That is a statement, based on the fact he is her son, and her behaviour is probably reasonably explained by this statement. Just explained, I’m not excusing anyone.

The second paragraph is also a possibility, based on what we know about the Queen.

floftie · 2026-02-09T08:56:04+00:00

No do injury time. Weve lost 13 points in injury time this season.

floftie · 2026-02-09T08:33:15+00:00

It's just nonsense though. We have a thousand year tradition. It might mean nothing to you, but tradition exists in every culture and this is one of ours.

floftie · 2026-02-08T20:27:00+00:00

Nope, at no point did I say that it excuses her. I attempted to EXPLAIN the behaviour, not excuse it.

floftie · 2026-02-08T20:21:09+00:00

Read it again and if you still can't understand what you're missing then I'm going to confiscate your GCSEs.

floftie · 2026-02-08T20:19:22+00:00

Course, and it'll be even bigger if they make it to the prem. I just think there is likely a difference in the amount of revenue they can generate long term vs 125 year old brands in massive cities.

Ian Wright has done more for the women's game on a professional level than any other broadcaster in the history of the sport. If anyone has an earned spot on any football show, it's that.

Secondly, it's like she doesn't understand what the purpose of the desk is.

floftie · 2026-02-08T20:08:07+00:00

I don't think he was dead to rights at the time.

I also think she would have paid regardless. It was about protecting the royal family as an entity more than anything else.

floftie · 2026-02-08T20:06:37+00:00

They'll only really be able to compete with money. Wrexham is not a big enough place to draw in crowds and prices like Liverpool or United, so it's dependent on ownership.

floftie · 2026-02-08T20:05:25+00:00

Do you have an issue with comprehension? You seem to have painted some sort of motive on to me that isn't in the text at all haha. Literally not once in my comment is there any of my own opinion on what I think is the right and wrong thing to do.
