Donald Trump is accused of raping a former Miss Switzerland in a report probing the president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein released by House of Representatives Democrats this week.
Beatrice Keul, a retired model and beauty pageant contestant, told the House Judiciary Committee about an incident alleged to have taken place at New York’s Plaza Hotel in 1993. The report, released a week ahead of the midterm elections, also summarizes previously reported allegations from four other women against Trump.
The White House has strongly denied all of the reports’ claims, accusing “crazed” Democrats of “a desperate attempt to distract Americans” and insisting that the president has been “fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein.”
Keul previously claimed in October 2024 that Trump had sexually assaulted her at a beauty pageant staged at the Plaza Hotel, which Trump then owned.
“The president may have raped someone, but we need to double down on the made up rape threat that transgender people pose to women!”
-Republicans, demonstrably.

He’s raped so many women. It really makes you wonder if vigilante justice has a bad wrap. All those relatives with a grudge and not a single one managed to get justice.
Our legal system has utterly failed each and every person who has tried to get simple justice when the accused are wealthy. Its systematically broken, exactly like pre french revolution times.
“Democrats’ Epstein report”
And that’s how they plan on denying the entire conspiracy.
Read title as “in Democrats Epstein Resort” and was moderately concerned
Right there points to OP
The Orange Pedo Rapist is always at work.
I wonder if Bari Weiss is covering this on the CBS news?
I will never watch to find out.
I see very little mainstream coverage overall.
If we keep distracting them they won’t know we are both on the same team.
Thoughts and prayers baby.
Tell me more about how you fight for your freedoms
Voting. Volunteering for campaigns. Donating to the candidates that would progress things in this country. Helping out in my community. Teaching friends/family skills to help them be less dependent on capitalism. A few protests over the years. Teaching my children empathy and critical thinking…
Tell me what you’ve done, aside from trotting out the same tired “both sides” bullshit that trolls run every election cycle to try to convince people that voting does nothing. (If voting didn’t work then authoritarians wouldn’t try so hard to suppress it.)
No matter what I tell you I’ve done, you’ll tell me I’m bad. This is why America is dead in a week. I mean, they’ll keep the lights on because it still makes a profit and it’s a hilarious shit show from the outside.
So, nothing then. Got it.
Saying that gets a weird amount of pushback. It’s obvious the democratic leadership are not even trying to fight the republicans at this point.
No one in the USA wants to come to the realization that USA is basically a theme park for the rich at this point and nothing they do matters because they are only given the illusion of choice.
Go ahead and list what you’d have them do.
Not the OP, but I’ve said this on other threads:
Democrats, specifically those who have something to lose, need to start getting skin in the game.
I would LOVE to see Obama start community organizing again, using his influence and his ability to fundraise to stand-up grass-roots “let’s arm liberals and teach them how to shoot” groups.
I’d love to see Bernie protesting again and getting arrested.
I want to see Schumer do literally anything but look down his glasses and use words.
The problem is that everyone I’ve listed doesn’t want to lose the seat of privilege they sit on. And until they are willing to actually willing to lose, us 99%ers are just going to have to hope that another Luigi happens.
Anything at this point really. What they’ve done to combat the fascists, is stay completely silent, sometimes holding stupid signs while sitting still.
My question to you is, what have they actually even tried to do?
That’s not how this works. LIST what you’d have them do. I asked first.
How about showing up to any of the protests that have been held? How about arranging protests themselves? How about not voting for Trump’s economic policies? They could’ve done literally anything about the Epstein files during Biden’s term. Right now, this second, they could be going on every single news outlet, and talk about what republicans are doing.
Instead they’re fighting every single person trying to do this.
Edit. Supporting unions by going from company to company, teaching workers how to unionize, helping them set up the framework needed to secure rights through massive strikes.
