Remember when republicans went after Clinton for a consensual bj? Times have changed.

nothing with a power dynamic like that can ever be consensual.

Former President Clinton was named during the event. Being named as being on a trip with Epstein is not proof of misconduct, but listen to a great Bob Vylan track like lynch your leaders or something.

I know Clinton is probably guilty too, but my point was the republicans went after him during that time period for a bj. Not sure when Epstein became the pedo lord for rich fucks.

I ain't interested in getting into an argument about what kind of rape is better.

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. Rape is rape. This isn't the rape Olympics or something.

Because it's disgusting,. An adult woman feeling pressured to consent because of a power differential is absolutely not even in the same galaxy as literal child sex slaves being unable to say no because they're literally child sex slaves. It's horrific to equivocate the two, and it's a transparent attempt to downplay the hypocrisy being highlighted while "both-sides"ing the issue.
