The minutes I’ve read this alleged suicide note I felt like it sounded exactly like a trump tweet.

    Why would they let Trump write that note though? They couldn’t get anyone that might be better at it? I guess you probably don’t want to let people in on what’s going on, but it just seems dumb as hell for Trump himself being the one to write this note. Or even dictate what it would say.

        I think we’ve entered a stage of humanity where, “just think about this for a second and you’ll realize this is far too stupid to be true,” just isn’t a thing any more. I’m not saying he wrote the note. I’m not saying anything about Epstein’s death at all. Just that the world has become so absurd that there is no bottom to the stupidity.

          Just a quick reminder that the world != USA. There are still plenty of places where stupidity is far from the level seen in the US. On this, yeah number one. by far.

            Your point is taken, and I didn’t mean to sound like I was implying that the world == US. I would, however, mention that Trump is on the world stage, and he is engaging other leaders with all kinds of stupidity. Threatening allies while giving hand jobs to despots. The world is getting infected just by having to deal with him.

            That being said, you are right to point out that there are probably some Albanian sheep farms where sanity yet prevails.

      Because we need to simplify the world until a single person is solely responsible for all of our problems. Complexity feels bad and scary, and we don’t like that.

      Straight-up reminds me of Dan Olsen’s video about fucking QAnon disguised as a Flat Earth video. “Donald Trump personally wrote Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide note” is baseless QAnon-level shit that people upvoting it will justify with “but other crazy things are happening, so I don’t have to ground anything I believe in reality anymore.”

      Probably because no one else would agree to forge it, so he had to do it himself.
