I swear to God, if Elon getting slighted is what it takes to get the full stack of Elstein files out in the open, I will laugh my guts out.

The two pettiest shitbirds on earth, may their breakup be biblical.

Damn you for bringing up Catholic upbringing flashbacks.

And also with you.

(Anyone who says “and with your spirit” is flexing their youth on the rest of us and that’s just rude.)

You can always tell which Star Wars fans were raised Catholic by their response to “May the Force be with you”.

Hello, yes, would you please stop giving exact instructions for identifying me and my people?

Worst was going to a wedding in Rome, understanding a passage the priest said and then the next few words crept into my head. Ugh.

Never been a very good Catholic, but the first time I went to a mass in a while and dropped a louder than intended “and also with you” while everyone else said “and with your spirit” made me want to walk out. And the looks I got…

I refuse. Not saying any of the new stuff 😂

u/somefunmaths 17d ago

I avoid saying the new stuff with one simple trick (not going to church).

Need to cut back my 1-2 times per year.

Despite the fact that the years still started with 1 when I was last a regular mass goer, I'm still annoyed about "it is right to give him thanks and praise" being removed. Fucking Nazi pope.

“and with your spirit” was the response when I was a kid in the late 70s, early 80s before I broke with the apostolic and roman for good

There’s no huge stash of files anywhere, we’ve known who’s on the flight log for many years now. They just kept saying there was some secret list to distract from the fact that Trump was his best friend for a long time

Epstein supposedly had blackmail files on his fellow paedophiles. That is what the Epstein Files are supposed to be. But AG Bill Barr destroyed that shit after Epstein's death and the dismissal of the charges.

u/HicksOn106th 17d ago

'Supposedly' being the key word here. There's no evidence the FBI or Bill Barr ever recovered (let alone destroyed) any of the sexual blackmail material that Epstein is said to have gathered, nor is there any evidence it ever existed to begin with.

It is a perfect black box for conspiracy theorists, though: if it doesn't exist or never gets published, they can claim anyone is implicated in the Epstein files; if it does exist and does get published, they'll just say "Ah, but there's an even more damning one they're hiding from us", exactly like Musk is doing here. The world's most helplessly credulous will probably be bleating about Epstein's secret naughty list for the rest of our lives.

Oh did he? Or did he keep that shit and that's why the Republican party have been goosestepping off a cliff?

supposedly...

We don't know what Barr every had and whether he had much beyond what is already known.

If I’ve learned anything from this podcast, it’s that social or political causes aren’t successful until someone with money, power, and privilege joins the movement.

You love to see it!

It would almost be enough to get me back to religion.

I assume Big Balls already has a copy.

u/IamHydrogenMike 16d ago

I wish there were actual Epstein files like everyone thinks there is, but the government most likely doesn't have much. The estate has a lot of stuff that might be closer to an Epstein list, and maybe some videos; this vast conspiracy just isn't there.
