After casting her vote for Donald Trump in 2024 in hopes that he would bring transparency around the Jeffrey Epstein case, Epstein survivor Jena Lisa Jones said in an interview this week that she now fears “we’re not going to get justice in all of this”.

      I seriously don’t fucking get this people. Everybody with a brain cell count higher than 2 said : Trump is in cahoots with Epstein. Now they vote for him, reality smack their butts and I should have empathy for them ? You literally vote for your rapist !

        Most people just aren’t interested in politics.

        “Trump ran his whole freakin’ election on the release of these freakin’ files,” she said. “And it sparked it back all up again, gave us hope, gave me hope at least.

        Even this statement is completely false.

        This person somehow convinced themselves that this was a key policy of Trumps when it was barely a footnote.

      Fuck that.

      She’s not some smug hypocrite getting her comeuppance - if anyone gets a pass for believing those files might finally come out, it’s her.

        Why would she get a pass for believe someone who was well known to be in the Epstein files and is a known con artist? She might not be a hypocrite, but she’s for sure fucking stupid. And honestly, whether she votes that way from profound idiocy or actual malice, it doesn’t matter. She helped fuck us all. And fuck her for that.

          Good point, she is very stupid. I can’t imagine much else was happening to distract her during her formative years developing critical thinking, it’s probably just hard wired.

          Still, the important thing is that she’s suffering for it now.

        Trump’s platform was laid out plainly leading up to the election. He was already heavily implicated to being involved with Epstein. Either she’s a complete idiot that is so out of touch that it’s unfathomable, or she knew who Trump is and what he’s about and decided that the damage he would do to other demographics was acceptable, making her a hypocrite. The idea that Trump was actually going to release the Epstein files and somehow bring justice takes a whole level of stupid to believe.
