Summary: Author Michael Wolff alleges that Jeffrey Epstein showed him photos of Donald Trump with topless young women at Epstein’s Palm Beach home. Trump’s campaign has denied the claims, calling Wolff a “disgraced” writer. Wolff also expressed skepticism about Epstein’s death, suggesting it was implausible but also questioning the possibility of a cover-up.

    “A guy said some dead guy did something he is known for doing, like a lot” has some measure of credibility with the common person on the street.

    You must be one of the special ones.

      That’s just confirmation bias. You assume it’s true because it makes sense given other things you know.

      If I make up a fact that you are a technology enthusiast, people can assume it’s true, you are using Lemmy, it makes sense. And it might be true, but it doesn’t change the fact I completely made it up.

        Oh wow the passive aggressiveness is palpable. I bet you are the life of the party!

          Quite often, yes. I’m very extroverted, and have an exhaustingly large network of friends. I get invited to things by people I’m not that close with because I’m fun and entertaining.

          It can be very exhausting if I’m down in the dumps, but generally it’s great. I have a lot of people in life that care for me and I give back to them how I can.

      It makes it more possible but still proves nothing.
