Imagine you celebrate your birthday and some artistically inclined friend makes this card for you - and you’re like: “Awesome, thanks my man! I takes one to know one! This goes right in my book with all the other beautiful memories.”
Comment on You can't make this shit up
Lenny@lemmy.zip 1 month agoTop: another ‘card’ from Epstein’s birthday book (the same one that had the Trump doodle of an underdeveloped female and cryptic poem). Epsteins estate leaked the Trump card earlier, and now they’ve released the rest of the book. Idk the author of this card but it seems to imply Epstein enjoys grooming girls from a very young age to be his servants (sexual or otherwise).
Bottom: a picture of a check from Trump to Epstein, where Epstein sold (read: trafficked) a young girl to Trump.

Is that Mar-A-Lago in the background of the cartoon? Disgusting either way

No, I think it’s Epstein’s mansion on Lolita Island.

Bottom: Do you know who those uncensored people are? And (not saying I doubt it but) do you have the supporting evidence that the money is for a girl?

Thank you for questioning sources! And here it is; there’s an note written under the image, which is from the same Birthday Book. This image was also released earlier but it can be found within the full book scan from the House committee (pg 156).

It says: Jeffrey showing early talents with money & women! Sells “fully depreciated” [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500. Shows early “people skills” too. Even though I handled the deal I didn’t get any of the money or the girl!

The “fully depreciated” bit, to me, means something along the lines of Epstein is done

Ew, and I said uncensored. Meaning the guy next to epstein and/or the one with the big smile. Thanks!

Another thing about this that seems from a parallel universe. One where sexual exploitation of underage girls is perfectly okay and friends weirdly commend each other about it. Come on, you write your “friend” a novelty cheque for illegal sex trafficking on a giant piece of cardboard, take a photo and put it in a souvenir book? That’s too unreal, I also question this. Maybe OP meant that by saying “you can’t make this shit up” - that it’s gotta made up by guys like the creators of Rick&Morty, but more sick & twisted.

Saying “you can’t make this up” is another way of saying “this is so fucked up and out there that even if you tried to make up something this shocking out of thin air you probably couldn’t”.
Also, sadly, this is not from a parallel universe. People are easily corruptible. When you reach the upper echelons of society (where wealth and power rule) you are rewarded for keeping quiet. Some ways you can be rewarded are 1) the money faucet you’re privy to continues to flow, 2) you can participate in the abuse of people and systems at your pleasure, or 3) you spare yourself and your family the wrath of evil-doers, should you try to expose them.
Just remember, if you’re a good natured person it can be extremely difficult at times to understand why bad people do bad things.
