Other than grabbing women by the pussy and walking in on naked 16-year olds?

Oh and raping E. Jean Carroll.

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

[–] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

Still better than fucking kids.

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.

I know that Trump isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. But, considering how obviously guilty he is of being on the Epstein files, why would he even push so hard for them to be released anyway? Does he really think that is he just insist that it's the Democrats fault or something about Joe Biden sniffing a kids hair that people will ignore it?

Wait a minute......
