So how about this scenario: someone with a terminal illness has access to the files. Said person sticks their copy in a timed release, so when they die, the documents are distributed everywhere.
At this point, enough people have access to the files that such a thing is feasible.
Of course, it’s also possible that enough of the files are so boring and inconsequential that nobody would see the value in releasing them like that; the main power is to leverage the innuendo to direct public opinion in a timely manner.
I bought myself a Reolink doorbell and swapped them out. Reolink doorbells can be configured to be local storage only with no callhome, and they support RTSP. You can essentially configure them to precisely the privacy model you use — I even have mine set up to black out the parts of the screen that show my neighbors’ property, so it’s not available in recordings or the streaming video.
All the benefits of a Ring without the privacy invasion.
The thing is, you’re right, despite the him blowing Clinton probably being humour based on Lewinsky and not something that actually happened. But the image will still get stuck in his base’s minds, as it seems like something a pedophile would do without a second thought (which was likely the point of the original joke).
It’s not even speculation on the value of their assets; in most cases, it’s speculation on the value of their speculation on someone else’s revenue growing power.
…the President has said that the two men fell out prior to Epstein’s convictions.
…tells us only that he didn’t sever ties because of the bad optics.
Epstein didn’t become a child exploiter when he was convicted. There’s documented evidence and witness testimony of him taking underage girls from Mar-a-Lago to his private island —which there is documented evidence of Trump having visited numerous times — where they were sexually abused.
I do say that I’m curious what they fell out over though. Did Epstein try to blackmail Trump? Vice versa?
Her apology and future actions should be considered if she’s ever found guilty and put before a court for sentencing.
Messing up while running for political position should result in a permanent return to private life. There’s a limited number of seats and millions of people who can fill them.
Very few non-dictatorial countries have ever had the equivalent to a US President. Most other countries also have a Prime Minister (and many also have a Governor General). Germany adds in a chancellor. Some even have actual royalty or religious leaders whose only political job is supposed to be to disband parliament when things get out of hand.
Nope; I have no idea why. Cough seems hardwired to my “this person is about to die!” reflex, compounded with “…and they’re transmitting whatever is killing them to me!”
I can’t think of any traumatic childhood events that would have conditioned this response.
Spoiler: their friends die.
