Everyone did know back then. That’s what’s so frustrating about this entire thing. There are jokes about lolita island from 25 years ago. The video with Trump talking about his best friend Epstein who ‘likes them a little young’ is from like 1998. It has been an open secret for literally decades now and still both the perpetrators and the people who could hold them responsible are all still looking around pretending it’s news to them.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

in any normal plane of existence, trump would have been sunk in 2015 by "grab them by the pussy"
but here we are. rapist pedophile fascist con man in the oval office. and even this won't turn his maga sheep followers. read any leopardsatemyface article: "yea, trump done ruint my life, but i'd still vote for him again"
they'll just continue to scream and bleat something about gay books in the library being the biggest threat to children
So many things about him are awful, but the one that definitely sticks in my craw is how so many people still think he's good at business.
It's so demonstrably untrue.
yeah I think about heart and al franken was even recent. its just so hilarious the way republicans comeback started with the moral majority. what a joke these folks are but none of us is laughing.

Because this is genuinely what they want.
of course. it was never about "protect the children," but about blaming all the world's problems on [insert marginalized group of people] to the point that the pridefully ignorant masses are afraid to even live in the same neighborhood, let alone let their kids read books about them. so while everyone is being robbed blind by the fascists, the blame is squarely on not-fascists, and freedom of speech is scrubbed out of existence
Hm. According to the then police chief of palm beach county, where maralago is. police chief was probably at some parties and is covering for his buddies.
Well, he forgot. Because of the . . . bad brain thingy.
