More info coming out Dtrain. We might be over sensationalizing this. At the same time, I think you are minimizing what was going on at that island and in New Mexico. What were the gynos doing for Epstein? According to emails, it looks like he was sending victims to more than 1.


The hype machine on these from Bangladeshi Twitter accounts is going to be off the charts.

There was no conspiracy. I cite to the lawyer who literally represented 200 victims saying it after close to 20 years of litigation, and it’s dismissed in favor of Twitter accounts.

Your buddy on this wants to believe because he hates both political parties so far as I can tell. Still doesn’t make it true.

Many, many people need to leave “politics as a hobby.” That’s not directed at you.

Moronic and embarrassing. Seriously.

It’s as if a lawyer wouldn’t have access to civil discovery. You know more than the guy who has spent two decades chasing Epstein and testified at his sentencing 17 years ago. Who has engaged in many conversations with hundreds of victims because he represents tons of them and has made tens of millions doing it.

Own the L.
And deranged Dteain is unable to read a graph. Deaths have dropped off a cliff - a real band pass filter. There is a gentle decline and data that can obviously be correlated to a truly secure border and an administration determined to stop drug runners.

Full credit to Trump

I think you replied to the wrong thread.

I actually know the data on this. I will provide it. It lags btw.

Here is the actual data, which I already knew. The number from each month is a rolling 12 month average.

1. OD deaths peaked at about 111K annually in the month of October 2023.

2. When Trump took office in January 2025, that number was down 32K to 79K.

3. The most recent month reported is for ODs through August 2025. It is down another 7K from January to 72K.

80% of the decline occurred under Biden. Full credit to Trump for sure.

Btw, none of this had anything to do with a President. It spiked due to Covid-induced chaos in people’s lives. Most of that is the disruption caused by shutdowns I believe, so hold whoever was shutting down responsible.

Here’s another source on the big OD drop starting in the second half of 2023.

Ironically, I did predict mid last year the Trump fans would be crowing about the crime and OD drops in 2025 (continuing trends that began in 2022 and 2023 respectively).

It would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad that reality can’t pierce political arguments, whether it be Trump’s war on drugs (a good thing, tho maybe it could be less lethal in interdiction) or Epstein.

You turkeys heard this stuff from me on crime starting in late 2023 and on ODs 12-15 months ago.

This was obviously coming.
Of course crime started going down, but that significant drop in Fentanyl is from Trump shutting down the border. His eo’s stopped human trafficking at the border, drugs coming through the open border, etc.

This is probably why people care and chose to change the channel during halftime:

Bad Bunny – an American citizen, as are all Puerto Ricans – skipped the US on his DTMF tour to protect Spanish-speaking fans from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

So he’s aiding the anti-ICE, anti- law enforcement political spectrum and you’re “sad” that the rest of us care? I swear, you are all over the map on here…. You post things I like then go all haywire and brush off a polarizing, anti law enforcement entertainer who had the attention of the entire world at the Super Bowl.
Ahh…. The hyena is back…. What exactly is funny about this post, semi-elite?

I gave you a like although I have no problem with the war on drugs being lethal business. I think that makes it more effective.

The rule of law says make arrests. I appreciate alternative impulses but ultimately my fealty lies with the law (not due to my profession).

This is a very complicated topic but yes it’s absolutely good Trump is targeting fentanyl. Biden did late in his term as well, but as with most problems these days Dems like to pretend they don’t exist even when they are taking action against them. Very weird.

Don’t worry, fellas, Bangladeshi Twitter accounts know more about Epstein than the guy who dedicated most of the last two decades to exposing him and wrote a book on it to boot.

To summarize DTrains current argument:
-References Bangladeshi accounts that nobody actually posted
-Appeals to authority despite new information made available
-Sprinkling of some humorous ad hominem attacks

A logical fallacy trifecta!!

I am under the impression when POTUS designates the drug cartels as terrorist organizations, his power becomes very broad.

Also, Article 2.

Article II of the U.S. Constitution: The president has inherent authority as Commander-in-Chief to defend against imminent threats

I am guessing he is the one who decides what is an imminent threat?

It is not an appeal to authority to cite the person who spent the last 17 years suing Epstein and his cronies/business associates. He is actually capable of testifying to the facts of the case. You are not. You refuse to over evidence and rely on baseless speculation with zero support from actual facts. I could start with the fact that only two people were charged with Epstein’s crimes. Or note that the sane victims - who could provide ample support of your views - do not do so after years of opportunity.

You’ve disgraced yourself in the last two days, to the point where I now realize years of amusing posts directed at TJ had far less basis in reality than I previously thought.

As for the Bangladeshi jokes, it is very real that social media accounts started by random foreigners which are paid for engagement try to get traction among US audiences. Many popular MAGA superfan accounts are this. I have no doubt that a lot of the Twitter accounts now churning Epstein content are the same, there’s money to be made and you don’t need as much in Bangladesh to live. I’d be embarrassed if I were citing information from these, but you apparently care much more about protecting your ego than addressing reality.

Congrats on shredding your credibility for fantasies.

Fascinating. How often does this happen? I don’t want to speculate on this.


Ya, I am guessing tomorrow is the wrong time to go to Cabo for the weekend. Hopefully, any problems wait for me to return next Monday.
