    You see how this entire article concludes Epstein’s death was suicide? That’s manufacturing consent right there.

    They are shaping the narrative, they get you excited about a random letter that proves nothing and would go nowhere in court and you praise them for journalism, but their objective is clear: normalize Jeffrey Epstein’s image as a financial manager who committed suicide after “he pleaded guilty for a sex crime”.

    That’s quite the positive spin on their relationship.

    "There must be more to life than having everything”, the note read.

    Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is

    Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is

    Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey

    Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it

    Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?

    Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you

    Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.

      The levels of weird and gross and creepy that is is just too much. And outlined in a marker drawing of a naked woman? It sounds like he was infatuated with him.

      Fuck Trump but there is no way his brain would be capable of writing this. The word enigma is way too advanced for him.

        Videos of him saying enigma on his campaign trail so it is in his vocabulary.

        It could also be a cryptic anagram he picked up from Epstein for Gamines.

    Every time I see this photo I really does look like two best friends who have a dirty little secret between them. It’s the smug grins.
