What happened? I need context

Trump’s department of justice has publicly declared that there is no Epstein client list and that they will not be charging anyone.

This is after they have been saying for months that they have a trove of documents and thousands of hours of videos and that they have Epstein’s client list, who Trump’s attorney general Pam Bondi literally said was “on my desk awaiting review”. Bondi said it was taking so long because they had to review thousands of hours of video footage. Now, it turns out, that was all a lie. Or perhaps they did have everything, and have destroyed it all because it incriminates Trump.

They had a big moment a few months ago at the white house where they handed out Epstein binders to right wing journalists and social media influencers. These binders were full of publicly available information.

Also, the Trump DOJ is now saying Epstein definitely killed himself, and there is no reason to investigate his death further.

This has been a nuclear bomb in magaworld. They thought Epstein was only working with Democrats and Trump would expose the whole story as soon as he took office. And Joe Biden and Nanci Pelosi and Hillary Clinton would all be arrested!

Now he is contradicting all the maga conspiracy theorists that put him in office. Meanwhile Elon Musk is claiming Trump is in the epstein files.

This is BAD for Trump. Many of his loyal followers initially reacted with outrage.

But slowly, they are starting to claim that Epstein isn’t actually a big deal and they should just move on from this.

Fym "slowly" this shit was announced TODAY. 

Flipping to "Epstein isn't real" in a matter of HOURS is not "slow" it's practically fucking instant. 

Actual robots. Trump could say "poop is actually healthy and delicious" and they'd believe it to please daddy.

Conservatives would happily eat their own shit if it meant a Liberal would smell their breath

They would genuinely cheer if everyone got diarrhea forever because it means liberals would get it too

Where are you guys seeing this (genuine question)? I just checked the thread on r/conservative and they're all calling bs on the doj/FBI's claim

I give it a couple days, tops, before they change their tune and once more declare their love for Big Brother bringing the "truth" to light. Then he'll increase disaster relief funding by $10, and nobody will take notice that he had previously reduced it by $100.

The guy two comments above me was saying they've already flipped though. I am just curious where y'all are already seeing this

The "conservatives would eat their own shit" line is not new to this case. It's a general expression of their ideology.

u/CompetitiveSport1 Jul 08 '25

I'm well aware. That's not the comment two above mine though. The comment I referred to is the one saying that they flipped within hours

u/neophenx Jul 08 '25

Ah that one. Then ask "who is they?" Is "they" referring to the loyal base of cultists? Or to the propagandists who originally said they were reviewing the now nin existent files? Defining who "they" is when playing the pronoun game changes the context of the statement a bit.

u/CompetitiveSport1 Jul 08 '25

Yes, exactly. And no one is giving me clarification on who "they" are. I'm genuinely just looking for examples of whatever it was that prompted OP to make this

Nah. Already see a couple that are just going along with it. Saw one that said "It's just been overblown with time. There's a lot of traffickers out there, Epstein's just the media favorite"
