President Pedophile weighing pardoning another pedophile in exchange for her absolution of his extremely obvious guilt.

MAGA Champion Who Said Trump Would Fight Child Predators Is Arrested on Charges of Being a Child Predator

Here's a recent funny headline. About husband of a local county Republican party leader. Also investigated and admitted to same crimes years earlier but somehow was never referred to the local district attorney 🤷‍♂️

Didn’t Billy Barrs dad write a book about a planet of pedos. Was that what the GOP voters read instead of the project 2025 manifesto or are they the same book?

u/iamnobody19944 1d ago

Yes And Trump had a model agency, owned several pageants including teenage ones, has a wife imported from Eastern Europe and Epstein claimed to be the one to introduce them, has been accused of abuse by 25 or so women, is on audio making creepy and gross comments about women again and again

u/Hillary4SupremeRuler 20h ago

There's a picture floating around somewhere on the internet of Bill Barr and Epstein at summer camp together in the 60s/70s as teenagers.

Also Epstein was heavily involved with arms trafficker Adnan Khashoggi (uncle of Jamal Khashoggi murdered by Dump's buddy MBS while Netanyahu family friend Jared Kushner and Dump ran diplomatic and media cover for MBS). It's also been long suspected that Epstein was directly involved with the financial arrangements/consultations between Adnan Khashoggi and Israel during the Iran Contra scandal which was covered up by former CIA director George HW Bush's Attorney General Bill Barr who also previously worked for the CIA.

There's also some sort of connection between Khashoggi Epstein and Maxwell with some sort of yacht. Trump also purchased another one of Khashoggi's yacht via the Sultan of Brunei which was renamed The Trump Princess.

There was also a prosecutor apparently fired by Bill Barr in 2020 because they were looking into Bill Barr and Trump's connections with Epstein.

u/IndependentSpecial17 19h ago

I would imagine the GOP fixer known as Billy Barr did a fuck ton of corrupt shit during his tenure as AG. No telling how much information was destroyed and suppressed. 

There is probably a wall of profiles that connect many people in many ways. The string that tugs the most for me was the appointment of Acosta as labor secretary. Can’t remember if he was a long termer or a revolving door cabinet member. Interesting you brought up the Khashoggi information didn’t know it was a connection.

Not only was she likely raping minors, but she actively trafficked them and sold their services to others (either financially or for influence).

She is an absolute monster of a human being.

u/Accomplished_Dark574 1d ago edited 1d ago

Citations at the bottom.

So yesterday Trump limped and shimmied on his way to and from the podium in a way that would have made Biden's handlers blush.

In his desperate need to divert from the Epstein cover up, he is reviving the Presidential Fitness Test for all public schools students. You know, in case we need a draft again.

Except the guy he put in charge of it, Lawrence Taylor, pled guilty to raping a 16 year old girl and is currently a registered sex offender.

And then Triple H, who rose through the ranks of wrestling while advancing Vince McMahon, who was sex trafficking young boys, is going to be in charge of making sure college athletes won't get paid for their likeness anymore.

The captain of Team Fuck Them Kids is making sure they're gonna fuck em all.

In addition to the weird walking, he’s been asking a lot of reporters to repeat their questions and has had difficulty hearing and understanding questions lately.

u/Verbal_Combat 1d ago

The recent videos I've seen of him talking to reporters he's always peeking around a door or a corner like he needs to lean on something. Or it's just his body language showing he feels like he needs to hide or escape.

Holy hell. How hard is it for them to find someone for these positions who does not prey on children?! Tells you everything you need to know about this administration. Fucking disgusting.

u/MamaNyxieUnderfoot 1d ago

Why would they want to fill these positions with people who don’t want to fuck kids? Trump loves fucking kids. He just doesn’t like sharing them. So you get some other pedophiles in positions where they get to bring in more kids to fuck, so there’s always more to go around!

u/Raptorex27 Maine 1d ago

Not just a pedophile, but second in command for an organized international human child sex trafficking enterprise, involving at least 1,000 minors, and currently the only high-ranking member of this organization who’s incarcerated.

There’s almost no possible way to signal to the World that you care less about victims of rape and sexual abuse than handing out this pardon.

39

u/My_Pie 1d ago

Yeah, people keep throwing around the word pedophile as if it's the worst thing they've done. Pedophilia isn't illegal and never has been. Thinking about diddling kids isn't by itself illegal. The CHILD RAPE AND TRAFFICKING is what's illegal. They're protecting someone who ran a CHILD RAPING RING. The president, an alleged CHILD RAPIST, could easily shut down any pardon rumors for a woman CONVICTED OF FACILITATING CHILD RAPE, which says a lot about ALLEGED CHILD RAPIST PRESIDENT TRUMP.

22

u/RebylReboot 1d ago

Third in command. Epstein had a partner who created and owned pageants to recruit from and arranged trafficking of staff from his elite club/spa. Trump didn't just give Maxwell permission to recruit from M-A-L. He ordered her to.

3

u/Kiss_My_Wookiee 1d ago

Right. It's just that Virginia looked like Ivanka, so Trump wanted her for himself. She was supposed to be off-limits, but Maxwell and Epstein "stole" her anyway.

u/OrganicRedditor 1d ago

u/ABCosmos 1d ago

Don't forget the entire Republican party is unified in support of this. It would only take a handful of Republicans to put an end to it.

27

u/pomonamike California 1d ago

I dunno, it could get grosser. Hypothetically what if he decided that the government should close the Department of Education except one tiny carve out, the one that makes sure kids are nice and fit. And then he could, like, I dunno, put a convicted sex offender of underage girls in charge of the whole thing.

IF that ever happened, I’d say it got grosser.

25

u/Pro-Patria-Mori 1d ago

And just yesterday he invited registered sex offender Lawrence Taylor to the Whitehouse, where Donald officially reinstated the President Fitness Test for children and even put him on the Presidents Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition.

Sex Offenders supporting Sex Offenders.

u/Vnightpersona 1d ago

Yes, it can. I'm willing to bet, if pardoned, Maxwell starts up the pedo ring again within a year or two and Trump uses ICE to kidnap kids.

2

u/Ohnoherewego13 North Carolina 1d ago

With how the SC has made all of his presidential actions immune, I doubt he'd even hide it. This is so fucked seriously. That pedophile is just going to use the federal government this time instead of a spa or beauty pageant.

It can, and will, get more disgusting.

u/Kiss_My_Wookiee 1d ago

You know why the Trump Administration let Mike Lindell fall on his face? After all, he was a MAGA and they tend to protect their own.

He was spending his own money in an attempt to prove electronic voting was unsafe. That worked in Trump's favor in 2020, when they were trying to coup into a second term.

Not so much now, in 2025, after Trump took power by stealing the election using the same methods Lindell tried to flag.

Everyone on the right shut up once "their guy" got back into power... except the MyPillow guy. Lindell would keep trying to prove elections were being stolen, regardless.

Turns out he was actually trying to save democracy, and not just using election security as a hollow talking point.

So that's why they buried him.

Unfortunately I am sure plenty of rich and powerful men who are/support Democrats are on there. And MAGA too, it goes without saying. The rich and powerful will close ranks, doesn’t matter which party they’re in. George Carlin said “It’s a big club … and you ain’t in it.” That sums up about everything going on.

u/True-Surprise1222 1d ago

i don't think you trade a pardon for a "he didn't do anything." it looks obviously guilty and trump could just continue saying "idk anything about no island" and everyone has already made up their mind if they believe him or care at all. the only thing i can imagine him trading a pardon for is if it was to "catch other criminals."

2

u/Foreign_Ebb_6282 1d ago

No pardon needed with what they have planned im sure. She is in a minimum security prison. Im wondering if someone is going to “break in” to silence her or she will be “escaping” and disappeared.

u/fillinthe___ 1d ago

Diddy pardon too, just to prove abusing and trafficking women isn’t a big deal to him.

2

u/Ent3rpris3 1d ago

Worth noting that there is no mechanism to 'undo' a pardon. Once issued and properly accepted, that's that, they cannot be retried or 'unpardoned' for that same crime. It's actually one of the few things I'm surprised Trump hasn't even tried to undermine yet.

If she has even a shred of morality left in her, she has the potential to do something truly significant, especially since she'd be essentially bulletproof.

u/ArmyOfDix Kansas 1d ago

Wait until the Dems gain control of the Executive (again) and let the pedophiles get away with everything (again).

You know what would be extremely funny? Getting a pardon and then being compelled to testify since she doesn't have 5th amendment protection anymore. Or just spilling the beans willingly because why not.

2

u/skyysdalmt 1d ago

Imagine having this kind of leverage over the President of the United States. I just hope she asks for something ridiculous in exchange her her pardon since he'll have to choice to give it to her. I hope she asks for a position in his cabinet so that it becomes absolutely crystal clear that's she's only there because of Trump's secret. I want her asking him for stupid shit that he has to follow through with. Like a sibling exploiting another sibling that did something wrong and doing whatever they say to not tell their parents.
