This is not being reported in the U.S. news media. Maybe you can argue it’s because it’s July 4th, but if this doesn’t come out in a major way tomorrow, I guess the fix is in.

“Trump’s name appears over and over again on Jeffrey Epstein’s message logs in the grand jury docs released this week. It is also undisputed: Trump’s name appears 7 times on Epstein’s private jet flight logs, that Epstein flew on Trump’s jet with a young girl of indeterminate age, girls who Epstein trafficked worked at Mar-A-Lago, a girl Epstein trafficked mentioned visiting Trump’s casino in a recently released deposition transcript. Trump said Epstein is a great guy who likes girls on the younger side, Trump frequently “partied” with Epstein, Trump wished Ghislaine Maxwell well at her criminal trial, and someone who testified under the pseudonym JANE DOE at the Ghislaine Maxwell criminal trial stated that she was introduced to Trump by Epstein when she was 14 years old,” a user posted on X.

      CSA is very much bipartisan, and occurs from every demographic. It’s not helpful to victims to pretend it’s not.

        Go ahead and compare the list of guilty Ds vs Rs, you will find that it is VERY far from 50/50. D’s actually kick out members that do horrible shit like this, R’s circle the wagons.

        I’ll help you out, go ahead and take a look at this list: https://www.dailykos.com/history/user/CajsaLilliehook

        I beg you, please, show me an equatable list for Ds. I’ll wait.

          That’s not helpful to CSA victims whose abusers are D/d, but I guess since not as many are known/convicted, those victims don’t matter to some people.

          Edit: because Bill Gates and Bill Clinton were never on those flights or call logs or island.

            Two names, only one of whom is even relevant doesn’t prove your “bipartisan” claim when weighed against a list of 1300.

            And before you get any dumb ideas, no one here is defending child abusers.

              That’s a brief search, and I’m not going to invest too much time, because something else that of bipartisan, "NUH UH!, MY FAVORED POL WOULD NEVER!”

              At a workshop once, the leader told participants to write down the name of the person they loved and trusted most, one of upstanding moral character. Then said, "They’ve just been accused legally accused of CSA. What is the first thing you think?” After an uncomfortable long pause, that leader said, “This is how abusers remain free to victimize others.”

              Do with it what you want.
