What if we extended this idea beyond one dataset to all discrete news events and entities: people, organizations, places. Just like here you could get a timeline of key events, a graph of connected entities, links to original documents. Newsrooms might already do this internally idk. This code might work as a foundation. I love that it's RDF.

Check out GDELT! https://www.gdeltproject.org/

Yup, this is a fantastic project and probably the most mature attempt at a global knowledge graph for contemporary news.

Sure. What evidence would you like to use to lock Trump up? Point to an email in this dump or anything else. It's clear as day Trump cut ties when he found out who he was and was against him. Not so much for others.

> cut ties after learning he was poaching girls from Mar-a-Lago. This is, uh, not the slam dunk you seem to think it is.

Yes it is. Trump cut ties because Epstein was poaching employees. That was confirmed by the employee in question, Virginia Giuffre, who always maintained that she was a normal masseuse at Mar-a-Lago: https://abcnews.go.com/US/virginia-giuffre-trump-jeffrey-eps...

Yes almost no one has been held accountable for any of it, "weird"?

As "The Rest Is Politics" podcasts points out, the meagre consequences mostly came to Brits: Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew aka Andrew Mountbatten, and the former UK embassador to the US. Americans..?

Americans don't really do accountability all that much. People there who get to face the consequences are usually the ones that significantly harmed the financial interests of the very rich. Madoff, Holmes, Bankman. They operate more on a vengance than accountability system.

> It's clear as day Trump cut ties when he found out who he was and was against him. Really? I'm very much under the impression that Trump knew exactly who Epstein was. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45961278

Of course, deflect discussion to Trump. Does that make any of those other people look better to you? Trump gave information against Epstein in 2009 and unlike Bill and others did cut ties after learning he was poaching girls from Mar-a-Lago. I specifically made the point to look into those who were friends with Epstein even after knowing what he was doing. Nice whataboutism though. Feel free to reference source mater…

What I don't understand is the pretense of defending Trump at all. I mean, it's clear that even if you watched Trump assault a 13 year old with your own eyes, it wouldn't impact your support for him. Why pretend that there is some moral divide between Bill Clinton and Donald Trump in this when you can just say "I support Donald Trump no matter what, and despite Bill Clinton no matter what"? Personally I've never been…

> What I don't understand is the pretense of defending Trump at all.

Because every story eventually collapses into a fraction of the original allegation: https://abcnews.go.com/US/virginia-giuffre-trump-jeffrey-eps...

> Trump gave information against Epstein in 2009 Pre-2009 records on Trump there are nasty. One example: > ... It was at these series of parties that I personally witnessed the Plaintiff being forced to perform various sexual acts with Donald J. Trump and Mr. Epstein. Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein were advised that she was 13 years old. I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the Plaintiff was forced to h…

That's a lie that has already been proven false since Trump's entire trip was documented. Love how we have actual evidence against people but discussions always devolve into some conspiracy related to Trump. ---- Based on the available evidence, there is no confirmed meeting between Trump and Epstein in 2017. While both men were in Palm Beach during Thanksgiving week 2017, there is no direct evidence they met. Here's…

Even if Trump cut off ties with Epstein in 2017, he should clearly be held accountable for his past actions. Here's 2 pretty damning emails: --- Epstein to Maxwell 2011-04-02 > i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump... [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75% there --- Epstein to Ruemmler 2018-08-23 > you see, i know how dirty do…

What do those emails prove?

Do you know who the reduction “[VICTIM]” is referring to? It’s Virginia Guiffre: https://abcnews.go.com/US/virginia-giuffre-trump-jeffrey-eps.... What did Guiffre testify about Trump?

Yes, but the the summaries generated are referenced with sources. Care to dispute the summaries using the sources?

I read the gp as saying you should just check the sources, not defending. I mean here's a weird example. Searching Donald Trump there's the headline (1994-06 Wexner Mansion NYC) Donald Trump forced to perform oral sex and physically abused 13-year-old female plaintiff and 12-year-old female. Like that sounds weird... DT forced to rape? That doesn't make sense to me. The longer summary reads A declaration from Tiffany…

Note that this document is from an anonymous lawsuit that was withdrawn and never substantiated or corroborated.
