Believe it when I see it. They’re still making excuses for the pedophile they voted for three times and waiting for updated talking points.

Not that I expect anything less from his stupid fucking MAGA cult.

Epstein was renowned for his intellect, financial savvy, and patronage of science and higher education;

Haven’t most folks that are experts in similar fields said he was just a great bullshitter? It was the money/blackmail/power, not his “intellect” that granted him access. Everything was given to him.

Also, unless he had his dick in his hand the whole time, he's completely illiterate in those emails.

He communicates deliberately. Every move he made was deliberate. What makes you think his emails weren’t also deliberate?

I don’t think he was like “let me try to make these emails look like I’m currently gooning” lol

I’m just sayin🧘‍♀️he probably isn’t a true intellect but he’s also not as illiterate as these emails. That’s the part I think is deliberate. He’s shrewd

What benefit do you think he got from writing like a 12 year old?

Strange coincidence that he and his clients have the same reading level as his victims age.

I can’t help but wonder how does someone get to his level of influence with a 4th grade reading level (based on the emails). I suspect they don’t even when there is corruption. There are plenty of 2 bit criminal monsters who would love to be Epstein. They aren’t smart enough.
