Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a batch of 68 photos obtained from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, one day before the deadline for the Trump administration to release a much larger group of Epstein files.
The photos come from a trove of 95,000 images the committee received last week, the Democrats said. The release includes images of lines from the novel “Lolita” written on a person’s body; various travel documents; a screenshot of text messages about an 18-year-old from Russia and more. The photos can be accessed here.
The Democrats released several dozen photos last week, showing various high-profile figures including President Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Woody Allen, Gates and others. Neither batch of photos implicates any of those pictured in Epstein’s crimes.
… why are we still fixated on this? We know what happened. There will continue to be no accountability on the ruling class. How about we focus on the present problems?
Because the alternative is nihilism and chronic apathy and depression.
Because doing something is better than rolling over and crying “woe is me”
Is this called whataboutism?
Some really creepy pics in there 👀
Weird I just skimmed them all and didn’t see this one. I only saw 68?
Think this one was another drop, pretty sure I’ve seen it floating around already.
No not these pictures. Where is the one with selections from Art of the Deal written on a baby’s ass?
Great work democrats!
What does the foot say?
Edit:
The release includes images of lines from the novel “Lolita” written on a person’s body.
Great.
I don’t know what that means. Shed some light?
Lolita is an (in)famous novel about a man’s obsessive sexual attraction to a prepubescent girl. It’s supposedly well written, but the content is abhorrent.
Yikes…
The author, Nabokov, wanted the reader to be abhorred by the narrator character.
Unsurprisingly, pedophiles loved it and related to him.
That’s really weird… straight up abuser stuff
Seems to be the beginning of the second paragraph of the book…:
She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock.
Which in the book continues with…;
She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.
That novel is so beautifully written that I wish it was about something completely different so I don’t feel dirty while reading it.
English wasn’t even Nabokov’s first language! That’s insane!
The line immediately preceding this one is beautiful:
Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.

I appreciate others ability to remain impartial on any given topic.
That being said, the context of pedophilia definitely makes this disgusting.
Which suggests Epstein never actually read the novel to completion.
Apparently the POS even had the annotated copy and still didn’t understand the book!
Lol
…ita
Bill Gates is so cooked.
Yeah, they said that in the antitrust trial in the 90s. It was horseshit then and it’s horseshit now.
Billionaires never see justice for the same reason no one has ever seen the easter bunny. Justice doesn’t exist. Just a legal system designed to punish the poor and minorities.
billionaires never see justice
It’s because they have successfully convinced the majority of this country that having money makes you a better person.
or that at that level, they can influence local, state and some national politics in a way the common man just can’t touch; purchasing the people in the roles for “law enforcement” there’s just no one that can do it.
it feels incompatible with democracy.
Current events seem to support that hypothesis.
Bernie Madoff, Elizabeth Holmes. It’s rare but it does happen.
And all you have to do is defraud the billionaire pedo class.
Definitely not lol. Why would he be in trouble? He is rich…
melinda found out years ago
Imagine if Trump, Clinton, Gates and all the other high profile people implicated in this actually got arrested. It wouldn’t just change the nation, probably change the world given who all had dealings with Epstein.
The girl in that pic is not at all, in any way, comfortable.
For reference,
Yeah even my autistic ass can tell this is close to a hostage situation.
The girl’s hands in the picture with Bill Gates gives me the worst feeling, they look anxious, I don’t know why, they just do.
As a male, I don’t understand how can you fuck a person who doesn’t want it, who feels uncomfortable around you, let alone is underage.
Rape is rearly about sexual gratification. We know the pm from Israel gets off on rape. This is another reason why I oppose un-needed wealth. After a point they almost without fail become monsters.
it explains why he switched to reinventing his image with “philantrophy” decades ago, and how some of it has been disengenious.
Tax breaks as well
oh yea, his vaccine, and charity initiatives are probably money laundering/tax breaks.
it’s the tense closed body language, it looks very much like an “i do not fucking want to be here or near this person, i am trying to cover my private areas inconspicuously, do not fucking touch me”
oh look David Blaine does magic for rapist pedophiles.
What is it with magicians and Epstein, there’s also David Copperfield
James Randi is still clean. Still my hero.
It is important to remember that simply being in a photo with Epstein isn’t evidence they were a part of what was happening or knew about it. Being at the same generic rich person party as Epstein isn’t damning by itself.
Epstein traveled in elite circles and obviously wanted to flaunt that access as much as possible. He was everywhere the money was, he worked in Finance for decades.
Likewise, almost surely not all visits to his Island were related to his sexual trafficking business.
Context is important, and that’s why actual investigations into all of these connections are important as well.
And because people like those in the pictures will block any real investigation, to me, it’s guilty until proven innocent
I can think of very few names already connected, pictured with or involved with Epstein whom I will feel any loss if they happen to suffer in the court of public opinion.
The very worst people in the world are going to leverage the fact that not everyone named or implicated was actually doing anything with minors or hurting anyone, and I’ve lost whatever fuck I had to give a long time ago. Everyone who went there is a rich asshole in some way and this is consequence.
And yeah, I am including the fucking scientists as well. Fuck Kraus, fuck Hawking’s memory. I am so done with the world being divided into classes of people who can get whatever they want, and people who die from preventable illnesses because they can’t afford health insurance.
I wish my anger was as contagious as it is on the right, we would already be marching together to physically remove this fetid, evil administration.
If you lie with dogs then you will get fleas
Lemmy intellectuals will attack this take, and they will also be the people who listen to the arguments from the world’s most evil people and their lawyers and say “We need to hear them out, we have a system with rules.”
Towards a class of people who live above the rules and have no system other than wealth and power. Our “laws and rules” are designed to control the population, not the donor class, not the elite, not the ones who have never known hardship. People who can systematically abuse others for their own satisfaction are ruining whatever potential our species had, in my opinion this isn’t just an ideological or legal issue, it’s fucking existential.
So you assume that every dog in existence has fleas? Can’t be around any dogs whatsoever at any point for fear of getting fleas? Shitty analogy for the situation.
Better hope none of your old friends from say high school or college that you haven’t seen for years end up being sexual predators at any point in time. Might have photos taken with them that others will see and assume you knew what was going on because you were with them. Especially if they were doing that at the time.
Noam Chomsky? Wow…
I feel vindicated. I’m a little antifa leftist slut and Chompsky still triggered my creep detector.
He was recently asked about it and did not respond. His wife in his place said he has no comments to add.
Chomsky said that, at the time of his meetings with Epstein, “what was known about Jeffrey Epstein was that he had been convicted of a crime and had served his sentence. According to U.S. laws and norms, that yields a clean slate.”
that kinda says all it needs to right there
Yeah, “his sentence”. If you can even call it that.
According to U.S. laws and norms, that yields a clean slate.”
Ha. Try getting a job with a felony on your record, asshole.
He’s pretending to not know anything because he doesn’t want to “commit suicide” in prison if the billionaire pedos think he’s gonna testify against them.
You can get a job as president with 37 of them
Bummer, but into the trash heap with all the rest.
Anyone have any idea what all those formulas on the blackboard are all about?
The top looks like an explanation of the Higgs mechanism, the bottom has very low quality.
Should probably run the faces via pimeyes and find the papers by these clowns.
Edit: Mikhail Gromov is his name
Upscaled the second pic:
Looks like a Hall effect explanation
Looks like I don’t know what the fuck it looks like.
The name of the person delivering the lecture is Mikhail Gromov
Where’s the janitor
Making apple sauce.
How do you like them apples?

Oh those are very bad
But I thought there was only bad people in the files.
At least fascism is finally comer to an end. This is it ridge? The files that tend Trump or whatever. The definitely not a distraction files.
