      Must have been. Sounds like Mark was trying to reign in the gossip. I imagine he didn’t want to be saddled with the responsibility of his comment. Maybe the whole thing was just some horsing around.

    If Bubba was a human male, would that make Trump the first known queer president? I guess if Bubba was Bill Clinton, that would make Clinton the first known queer president?

      What about the real coverup? The fact that all these leading nations are corrupted? And humanity basically handed off the human species to world conquering psychopaths. Earth isn’t even “gods” earth anymore.

      Genuine honest human life was traded to psychopaths out of insecurity and fear.

      People need to focus on genuine humanity and rebuilding honest community while detoxing and NOT participating in this fucked up world that “they” created. And that also means sacrificing the privileges and comfort of the “modern” life we all escape reality with. Otherwise nothing is actually going to change.

      There’s a huge “spiritual” or “zightgeist” side of what’s going on right now. And things can’t be fixed with the simple traditional politics, which have been learned to be manipulated for whatever people with power want.

      People need to change the way they perceive reality and that can only start when they detox from the unatural reality that’s constantly marketed to them.

        I agree with much of what you say, but the idea that this isn’t “gods” earth any more I find risible. Much of this was done in via religion which is a man-made system to capitalize on insecurity and fear.

        I’m curious what you mean about “not participating in this fucked up world” and “sacrificing the privileges and comfort of the modern life”. For me, these are highly ambiguous phrases.

        The problem is not a modern/permissive/whatever society but the inability of those on the right wing to tolerate anyone who is different and, as we are now finding out, to attempt to erase them. Love is the answer, and I tend to agree this is not compatible with current politics.

      To be real: I think it was all over the news that there was a rumor Putin has Kompromat pictures of Trump, and Mark was just making a facetious joke about it all.

        Trump didn’t blow anyone. It’s only slightly less believable than if you told me he was seen holding a door open for someone. He wouldn’t take 10 seconds to do something for someone else.

          Why the fuck do people keep saying that, after we know for a fact he has a humiliation fetish?

          “Someone should spank you with that,” she recalled saying to the politician about the magazine.

          Daniels, 45, then testified that Trump, who was wearing a black kimono-like garment over a tight black shirt, rolled up the magazine and “gave me a look,” seemingly as a dare.

          “So I took it from him and I said turn around, and I swatted him right on the butt,” she told jurors. “And he was much more polite.”

          https://pagesix.com/2024/05/07/celebrity-news/stormy-daniels-testifies-she-spanked-rude-donald-trump-with-a-magazine/

          People like Trump who constantly put on a “tough guy act” can 100% be submissive and capable of giving a blowjob.

          Fucking crazy that in 2025 so many people think sexuality is basic.

          Would he potentially do it if it was a requirement of joining the little girls sex club? Initiation rituals like that not only make it “safe” against people that would try to spill the secret, but photos of it act as insurance to further guarantee it stays secret. And since Epstein was a spy for various countries, it doubled as a way to control a bunch of powerful people.

            I remember first hearing these anecdotes during The Apprentice years, long before he entered politics. But with what we know now about Trump, it’s pretty safe to assume they were completely made up. What we know for sure for sure is that there is exactly zero evidence to support those claims. So urban legends at best.

    I loathe clickbait titles. The statement:

    For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to ‘Bubba’ in this correspondence is not, in any way, a reference to former President Bill Clinton,” Mark Epstein said in an apparent statement, shared by Shamsian on social media late Saturday.

    Any attempt to conflate that reference with President Clinton, or to read sweeping implications onto them, misrepresents both the purpose and the tone of the original correspondence. I want to be absolutely clear on this point so that the public record is not distorted and so that speculation does not unfairly implicate people who are not actually being referenced in those communications.

    Emphasis mine

          Depends what they got for doing it. Sounds to me like an initiation ritual/insurance policy for joining a secret club… what secret club might they have both been a part of where they would think that was a worthwhile entrance fee?

              Well for me, the fact that an hour before it leaked, trump had 3 outbursts, one to the repulicans that are trying to get it released, one to the democrats about the same thing but more desperate and deranged sounding than normal, and one directly about how they are gonna look into bill clintons ties to epstein… all an hour before we found out what he was mad about… like we didn’t even have to guess it was bill, trump basically told us by having no self control.

              So, I guess he got a heads up about what was gonna leak.

                That’s super weak reasoning, though. Clinton has been associated with Epstein in the past. If Trump wants to deflect from scrutiny about his dealings with Epstein, he’s going to try to point people at Clinton. He’s done it before! If he wants to deflect about something Epstein had on him involving what he was doing with Clinton, he’s not going to point everyone to Clinton.

                I think if you believe Trump blew Clinton you probably think Vance fucks couches.

                  I definitely wouldn’t say it’s a certainty, but it’s a pretty strong coincidence to have all three of those sudden outbursts back to back out of the blue if they are completely unrelated. And even if that didn’t happen the odds were already high enough before making that connection.

                  That behaviour is very much in-line with those types of clubs. Whether the illegal thing be drugs, or sex stuff, or just the actual real life secret political clubs that were only about corruption and collusion, which sound super tame now, but are already bad enough. And those clubs do very often end up coming out that they were still infiltrated with spies, or started by spies in some cases. Like, these aren’t uncommon or brand new, they have been around for thousands of years.

                  It’s actually very believable.

          Eh, torture in any form doesn’t work. Unless your goal is the torture itself.

          Everyone talks under torture, but no one tells the truth, they simply say whatever the torturer wants to hear, because that’s the fastest way to end the torture.

          Now, I am in favor of anyone advocating for torture going through it themselves. You’d eventually see much less torture in the world.

    You know what? Call me a hopeless square, but if you think Jeffrey Epstein was creepy, his brother is sketchy as fuck too if you ask me. He seems to know entirely too much for a man who isn’t in prison. Maybe a couple of interviews with the house oversight committee would do America good.

    But I guess we shouldn’t antagonize the only source of credible material that has any chance of bringing Trump down. So painful though it is to admit it, I’m willing to let it slide for the brother.

    Oh and yeah, where I come from, “bubba” means “brother”: maybe he was the one Trump sucked off?

    He says it’s not a Clinton… But won’t say what it actually meant…

    But one thing I’ve seen in other articles is that “Bubba” can be used by pedophilea to refer to boys.

    And I could have sworn at least two boys have sued trump for sexual assault already.

    It’s much worse than Clinton, he’s a (presumably) consenting adult. But if we keep saying it’s Clinton, there’s a chance one of these idiots say what it actually meant.

      It’s a beautiful statement. He wanted to clarify that it wasn’t Clinton as to “not implicate anyone innocent”, implying that if Trump didn’t actually blow someone and/or Putin didn’t have evidence of it, he would have made that very clear.
