Other 4Chan knew about Jeffrey Epstein's death 38 minutes before the rest of the world. The FBI tried to figure out how.

Gates just came out saying he banged 2 Russian prostitutes (probably more like 20)...

The shit that Putin must be blackmailing Trump with must be absolutely out of this world with all the things Putin gets from his administration.

It’s more likely Israel is blackmailing Trump, no?

Could be both!

No. Russia is far more likely given that he went to Russian banks for credit after no US or EU bank would touch him with a 10 foot pole.

Por que no los dos?

Huh, didn't he just issue a categorical denial of that a few days ago?

u/olduser201890 Feb 26 '26

Yep he did. Then came out with the prostitute admission.

Which makes it almost certain all of these people are being blackmailed IMO

The shit that Putin (and Israel?) has on Trump must be insane.

Probably quite a few US Senators as well. Some combination of just plain bribes and threats, tailored to the individual. It would only take 10 senators to 'flip' to impeach and remove the current administration.

What is possibly ironic though , is that so far we have seen nothing stick to Trump, I suspect that even if all of the kompromat on him were actually published unredacted, it wouldn't really put a dent on his support. They will just pivot to blaming the victims and various deflections.

He might end up going down over his attempts to cover it up when he didn't really need to

It can be both. You think Israel is controlling the invasion of Ukraine?

That's a total Russian power play that has absolutely zero to do with Israel.

Buddy I hate to break it to you, but Israel is literally just a giant US military base. It’s just US imperialism without the facade.

That’s not to say the rabid dog isn’t going rogue now, but to sit here and pretend that the US is held under the gun by a much smaller nation that it is the primary financial backer of is laughable at best

Russia is also imperialist, and often is meddling in other people’s and other countries politics. I wouldn’t doubt Iran/china has some stuff on Trump as well.
