How the fuck do you know if it is literal or not? Every single thing attached to Epstein is disgusting and depraved; an old dude giving another old dude a BJ is the least insane story to come out of this.
Why are you even trying to wave this away? Joke or not Donald had close ties with Epstein until the very end, that should be the bigger story because he has clearly been lying his ass off again. I honestly couldn’t give two shits if the orange fuck has had a dick in his mouth, but it would be absolutely hilarious if true. Plus, if people joke about this enough he’s going to address it publicly which would be so fucking funny to watch.

okay… and? This still makes it look a whole lot like trump and his buddies were very well intertwined with a convicted sex trafficker long after his depravity was revealed. It’s a lot less funny if trump didn’t blow clinton but that would be the least disgusting thing he did on the island.
- Comment on Bike Manufacturers Are Making Bikes Less Repairable 1 year ago:
I kinda disagree, there is still a lot of waste even with the best bike brands. Hydraulic brakes are probably my biggest gripe, it’s basically impossible to rebuild 4 piston calipers, and that’s if they even have replacement pistons/seals to begin with. Hope and SRAM are the only two I know of that have pistons readily available but they are also overpriced to hell (it costs around $100 for 8 pistons, almost the same price as replacing the calipers entirely). Magura, TRP, and Shimano make everything in-house but they only supply parts to rebuild the levers, the calipers are basically just wear items.
Dropper posts, carbonfiber parts/frames, the 3 different hub “standards” being used, and non-standard sized bearings are all adding to the irrepairability of bicycles. And that’s before you factor in that Shimano and SRAM are hell bent on using electronic shifting and shoving wireless bullshit on all their products.
Yes, a good bicycle is repairable and will last decades, it’s just getting harder and harder to find new bikes that are good.
