Quote from: Razgovory on July 13, 2025, 10:03:01 PMFrom what I'm seeing they are claiming Biden destroyed the Epstein files.  I'm surprised that Trump isn't running with that theory, instead he's claiming that Obama, Clinton, and Biden made them up.
One GOP Congressman pushed that narr a tive.

But Pam Bondi said she had the list on her desk a few months ago.  And they made s big show giving binders with something irrelevant to some conspiracy nuts, promising more later.

I was always expecting some kind of cover up, but I thought there'd be competent people handling this.  Oh well. :)

Quote from: Jacob on July 13, 2025, 08:54:13 PMTo answer my own question... it looks like George Macdonald Fraser passed away in 2008, so as I understand it Flashman won't be fair game until 2078.

Yep, 70 years after death, that's been the UK author copyright duration for some time.

Though you might be interested in Tolkien as that enters the public domain in the not too distant future.  :bowler:

Mishandling the MAGA base expectations concerning Epstein seems to be genuinely hurting his popularity with them. It's kind of odd, I'm not MAGA and Im not a conspiracy person, so I just sort of never paid that much attention to it. The True believers really care about it though, and they are mad. So far they are mad at Bondi, Patel and Bongino but some of them are starting to drift in a heretical direction and get mad at Trump.

Metadata Shows the FBI's 'Raw' Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified

Nothing really, just another proof that this administration is utterly incompetent.

There's no evidence of anything nefarious, but it will fuel the conspiracy theories.

So far, the MAGAsphere isn't buying the DT theory that it was the Clinton/Obama/Biden's fault if the list was destroyed...

And we all thought the second civil war would be MAGA against the civilized US. :)

Is Flashman old enough to be unencumbered by copyright?

Hmmm...  :hmm:
