    They are doing the technically not pedo, which is true but that doesn’t excuse it. Bad is bad.

      Technically true. Pedophelia is about a lack of bodily development of primary sexual markers. As soon as the kids develop any kind of puberty, the pedophiles interest is over. The next phase is as bad as the teens think they are able to consent, but not really. You could even argue that does not change just because they are 18+. But that’s the law.

      I would argue Epstein probably didn’t peddle actual kiddie porn cisam type of business but more the kind of power fantasy that you are rich enough to break the law without consequence and enjoy those carnal instincts that nature gave you and society doesn’t deem respectable or legal for the reasons given above. And the great thing about that fantasy is that you can trap people very efficiently and then broker the control over high value targets to other nations. And that’s probably how Trump and Putin met. Putin went shopping for a future president he can blackmail into anything. And the rest is history.

      Killing Epstein was probably not about him exposing powerful people but costing even more powerful people their expensive remote controlled politicians.

        I want to add that Trump was likely already a CIA asset through his association with Roy Cohn, which would only make him more valuable

      Right, like they’re not wrong but also… Its still human trafficking of minors for sex, which isn’t even legal across state lines

      And anyway, is that the hill they wanna die on?

      Megyn Kelly was briefly a feminist role model after standing up and calling out sexual abuse at FOX. Now she’s justifying /minimizing sexual abuse of minors

      What a soulless removed
