Ya just ignore Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem name 4700 times, and the photos of them together. And the deals they've done together and him resigning after their relationship was made public, but ya 'random blackmail email'
I wasn't talking about him you fuckwit, I was talking about in general. Epstein would send a fuckton of emails like this, because the implication alone would be enough to blackmail people, irrespective of whether it happened or not.
Humans are inherently evil . The ones who arent.. are poor or gifted money later in life..Its animal nature . The world is not rainbows and butterflys ... your breakfast for example was murdered so you could eat it. As one small example (i eat meat. But im using the example for people need to stop being so shocked crazy things happen in a brutal world stop being so soft
Not that pedophiles should be allowed to walk free. But the fact it happens with the 1% does not surprise me at all
Human nature can be both evil and good, but the majority is clearly not as bad as a billionaire.
Evolution made us a social animal who thrives when working in groups and has achieved all the success through collective effort. There was not a single invention that was not based on the work of those who lived before. We're not still inventing the wheel every generation because we are not inherently evil and we cooperate.
Billionaires are not 1%, they are the 0.0000something % for a reason: it takes an abnormal degree of lack of empathy to hoard so much wealth and it requires manipulation of the laws through lobbying and/or corruption while destroying habitats and lives... and since we are to a great extent good people we don't kill them, but we peacefully counter their political actions to protect the rest of the population with laws and regulations.
Genuine question from an Australian, we think your gun laws are crazy, but you insist it’s so you can rise up against a tyrannical government or whatever way it’s worded, my question is, when? Is now not a good time?
Reality? Ok. It's not uninformed it's literally what would happen if the entire country tried to overthrow the government with their personal weapons and the government had a military response. I don't understand how you don't see that.
On average the military soldiers identify much more with the people than they do the government if it was government vs people. Also war has a lot more factors than just military might. Look at Ukraine. Look at Trumps ridiculous bombing of Iran which was purely political theatre; Iran recovered very swiftly and only became more bold because of it. Our best bunker busters can only pentrate 9 feet or so I believe, Iranian tunnels are multiple times deeper than that. Something as rudimentary as a hole in the ground puts the most powerful weapons we have to shame. We also have over 100 times more adult men in the country than the military has foot soldiers. Add on to that that a major amount of the ones on the peoples side have formal training or informal training. Regular people aren't as weak as you think they are (see killdozer for example). If you think the government has the power to turn the military on the people than you've never met the kind of people that are in the military. More often than not they hate the government.
This is reading like you are over-romanticizing US Citizens ability to actually do this, and underestimating those who clearly are blindly or willfully following orders right now. I'm not saying that our military is filled with traitors because it isn't.. but to think the citizens would win against the military is absurd. Never forget we don't have universal healthcare for a reason and very few people know exactly how much money the Pentagon spends. Don't be naive.
The citizens literally have all the power. They manufacture, build, invent, support, every bit of power the government has save buying (with money that comes from the citizens) from other countries. The only power the government has is its ability to control the people, they lose that and all they are is powerless tyrants in pretty houses with a small handful of possibly still loyal idiots. Stop suckling government cock. I'm not romanticizing my point any more than you are romanticizing the power of the government.
That’s where political party lines historically divided. Conservatives are pro gun and anti abortion. Liberals are anti gun and pro abortion. That’s a super simplified take but it will help non Americans understand better maybe. Liberals historically aren’t the “pry my guns from my cold dead hands crowd.” The conservatives currently running the country, and the ones that voted for them are the pro gun element. It makes literally zero sense, but the party that voted for this stuff is supposed to be the party that wants less government spending and oversight, less war, more guns, more kids, more Jesus. The voting party that isn’t in charge (and it’s important to understand I’m talking about Joe and Jane average sitting at home not the actual politicians because what the constituents want often differs from what the party wants, but America has a TON of one issue voters. That means they will vote for whoever “aligns” with their pet issue, see above. Most commonly gun and abortion rights) wants more government spending on education, healthcare, and housing. More government oversights that protect workers especially but all people in general. And probably above all else more personal freedoms. The people who want people to be safely housed and fed no matter what political affiliation, nationality, sexuality, or financial bracket are not the same people who have arsenals at home. And like I said I’ve simplified this a lot. And I vote liberal so I won’t try to pretend I’m not biased that way. So for the most part you are attributing those sentiments to the wrong party. Most liberals would love more gun controls and less gun violence.
That's what they tell us the 2nd amendment is for. It's not: It's actually a very clever control tool that has worked out really well for 'them.'
You ever wonder why our Government seems so hell-bent on making sure we maintain the "Right to fight them"?
Because we don't actually have that right. We barely have the "Right" to carry or own weapons. The police are completely allowed to murder us if they even so much as think we might be near a gun.
They love having this carte blanche "Murder the civilians for free" card. It allows them to keep us terrified to actually use our weapons for "their intended purpose" because our courts have shown time and time again that the cops have EVERY RIGHT to gun us down if we get uppity.
They restrict the weapons we're allowed to have to what are essentially paltry little pea shooters in comparison to what the Police and Military have access to.
It's not them they want us to kill when shit goes down, it's each other.
We are one of the most divided nations on the planet. When shit goes down, it'll be Jim-Bob and Wilbur out there hunting liberals, not defending the constitution.
That was always bullshit.
You can make an argument for self defense against criminals, or that guns are fun to use, but the "topple government as needed" use case has been nonsense for over 100 years.
Stuff like this being real reminds me every day that Americans really are as dumb as the internet stereotype claims they are, since they continue allowing it.
Germany’s public just voted in some neonazi AFD candidates (Björn Höcke, leader of the AfD party in the state of Thuringia, has twice been fined by a German court for using a banned Nazi slogan. The phrase, “Alles für Deutschland” was a slogan of the Nazi stormtroopers and engraved on their daggers), and the UK can’t keep anyone they elect in the office long enough to get anything positive done, and that’s after a failed attempt at leaving the EU that was really just a successful Russian propaganda psy-op campaign… No one with a brain would argue on Trump’s behalf which is why I’m not, just showing almost everyone everywhere sucks ass at electing the best possible leaders.
Germany's current federal chancellor is a completely normal centre-right politician. Your cherry picked example from a far-right cherry picked constituency is like me pointing to some KKK-er being elected in rural Alabama whilst Obama was president to prove Americans are racist.
I'll have you know that my dog's nutsack is completely empty!
I'll have rethink this whole move-in plan & look for a different random person on Reddit. Understanding scrotums and testicles is actually very important to me.
Yeah idk if they’re talking about the independence from the (now failed) British empire, the civil war, January 6th, us overthrowing Venezuela recently, possibly others?
No, there aren't. Show me the millions of people in front of the White House right now. Because right now is included in "at any given moment". Or do you think a semi-tangential protest 2000 km away is how you bring down the federal government?
I have 180K karma because I generally say stuff people generally agree with. Like in this thread.
And your inability to grasp that people can have opinions, well-researched opinions at that, different to yours, is the Nth proof of my main statement. Dumbest people on the planet.
Obviously. How do you think regime changes happen in other countries? Also, why the fuck do you have that imbecilic amendment if not for THIS EXACT PURPOSE? That's literally its only pro, everything else about it are cons. And you refuse to use it. Other countries manage to constantly expel shitty leaders without guns, you're too lazy to do it with them...
The 2nd Amendment exists to allow the Authorities to kill us with impunity whenever they want. It's not about defense against the government. They can murder us if they think we have a gun, limit what we can have to paltry pea shooters in comparison to Police and Military equipment, and intend on the American People using them on each other to 'thin the herd' instead.
2A is a fucking joke.
You idiots have no idea what you're talking about.
You don't even understand (or know) your own laws.
In Federalist No. 46, Madison wrote how a federal army could be kept in check by the militia, "a standing army ... would be opposed [by] militia." He argued that State governments "would be able to repel the danger" of a federal army, "It may well be doubted, whether a militia thus circumstanced could ever be conquered by such a proportion of regular troops." He contrasted the federal government of the United States to the European kingdoms, which he described as "afraid to trust the people with arms", and assured that "the existence of subordinate governments ... forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition".
I will forever maintain that Epstein DID kill himself, but only within one of the following situations:
1) The establishment said, "Since we've had such a long relationship, we will let you choose.....either you kill yourself, or we will do it & make it look like suicide."
2) Elon Musk demanded an in-person meeting. Faced with no alternative but to interact with that guy, Epstein saw one only one escape: the sweet release of death.
Anyone that signs up to be a soldier or kept their job as a soldier after it was confirmed that their leaders rape and maim children for sport, its a Traitor coward who should be sent to the gulag right along side their leaders.

No. U.S. lawmakers identified Emirati business leader Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem as the individual linked to a 2009 email exchange in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote, "I loved the torture video".
No need to. There is conformation as to who it was sent to. U.S. lawmakers identified Emirati business leader Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem as the individual linked to a 2009 email exchange in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote, "I loved the torture video".
