I guess he should go back in time and not fuck children then.
Dude is acting guilty as hell. Of course I believe his victims. Far too many of them for it to be nothing.
Good. May he rage himself into a coronary.
He probably thinks that means he'll get crowned.
Could you imagine the queue to do that civic duty?
painting a picture of an administration adrift, lacking a clear strategy and blindsided by the intensity of the backlash
I read this same thing - almost word for word - at least a dozen times in Trumpworld I. It all still ended up with a coup attempt, corporate news still at the service of republiQans, and half the voters still complete fucking morons.
Guys, this is bullshit. He may be slightly annoyed, but he is totally protected, he and his administration have zero concerns about any consequences. They are untouchable. Particularly so due to the fact that both parties and their wealthy benefactors are implicated.
Idk, pissing off conservatives did get him shot at
To add, I think opposition to raping children is a pillar propping up mega as a movement.
His political protection has cracked and faded slightly over this, and he’s upset that if it keeps up he will become exposed.
Good. Maybe he'll give himself a stroke or a heart attack.
Wouldn't that be great? Though I don't think Vance would be any better.
At least the people would have something to celebrate
His grave would need 24 hour security for eternity to keep away the hoards of people wanting a crap.
The news cycle usually does move on as quickly as Trump itches to rape a new child.
So the news cycle will never move on since he says he never molested any child
If he didn't want to be called out on all the raping of women and kids then he shouldn't have raped all those women and kids.
What I don't get is why Trump even cares. Clearly his "Grab 'em by the pussy" remark is telling you all you need to know about him and just as clearly, MAGA doesn't care.
Maybe it just really is the fact that his supporters have hyped up all those who are on that list not just as rapists, which they seem to have no problem with, but as the demonspawn in flesh. So Trump isn't concerned that he may be labeled as rapist, as that label didn't stick before, but as incomprehensible evil, or Clinton for short.
This is my concern once it officially comes out. Like every other silver bullet we've had, people will think this is what finally takes him down, but once he says "She told me she was 18!" they'll be all "That happens to me all the time too! Damn lying women!" and that will be the last we hear about it unless they use it against Democrats. I can't honestly believe anyone would be shocked his name was on the list.
This is a good point. It's almost better that it hasn't been released since the MAGA revolt appears to be from the idiot section that buys into conspiracy theories, not as much the conscious soul-selling for power section (i.e. the people who were to dumb to already know he was a creep vs the people who 100% knew and just didn't care so they could win).
I want those people who were hurt by Epstein to get justice, but with the current situation basically being the president is protected from anything, having it come out now seems the worst outcome. Having the unknown eat away at them is likely the best realistic thing right now, unfortunately.
If this comes out and just "goes away" after a couple days, I'm worried what that could do to the present handling of similar crimes. If society at large decides trafficking is no biggie, I think that could be really bad.
"That happens to me all the time too! Damn lying women!"

Don’t most of us live at home?
Honestly the creepiest stories I've ever heard are those where someone has been living in someone's house without them knowing.
"Demonspawn in the flesh" is definitely the case for some of them.
It's not that they're just molesting kids, there are theories that they're "[harvesting adrenachrome[(https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/pseudoscience/qanons-adrenochrome-quackery)" from them.
The stage was now set for QAnon’s perverse fabricated tale that a pedophile ring of Democratic politicians and Hollywood celebrities is engaged in satanic sacrifices culminating in slurping the blood of massacred children.
There's a joke that was going around a while ago about a conspiracy theorist who (somehow) made it to heaven:
When he arrives at the Pearly Gates, God is there to receive him. "Welcome. You are permitted to ask me one question, which I will answer truthfully."
Without hesitating, the conspiracy theorist asks, "Who really shot Kennedy?"
God replies, "Lee Harvey Oswald shot him from sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. There were no accomplices. He acted alone"
The conspiracy theorist pauses, thinks to himself, then says "Shit! This goes higher up than I thought..."
See, the thing is that these conspiracy theorists will never believe the truth, whatever the truth is. They'll always think the conspiracy goes even deeper.
So, even if maybe he could survive being linked to having sex with teens, the problem is that his base believes that the "sex with teens" is just a cover for something much worse. All he'd be doing by admitting to sex with teens is to admit he was part of the satanist cabal. So, his only solution is to deny and deflect. But, denials just make it seem like he's hiding something. And, while deflecting normally works for him, this is a foundational conspiracy of the MAGA base. This isn't just some odd side-conspiracy like Obama conspiring against Trump, or Twitter suppressing news about Hunter Biden's laptop. If there is any one central conspiracy uniting the right, it's the child sex trafficking stuff.
Is he painting the walls with ketchup?
Fucking good, keep this fire burning.
it was so avoidable, all he had to do is not rape children.
it isn't so hard, I never raped children and I aint even trying to avoid it. it's crazy how easy it is not to rape children.
Can't broadcast his FUD agendas when people are asking real questions in the media. Keep it up.
I mean I'm glad that something is sticking in the news cycle...
Trump and the Republicans are ruining the economy while also exploding the deficit, kidnapping random people and smuggling them to random third countries. He's preparing to silence dissent toward him in the media, on the street. He's also set up and filling inhumane concentration camps. He's done very little this month to end wars as he promised he'd do in a day, and really just inflamed tensions with Iran with a unilateral strike.
worse. he appears weak to other leaders, especially putin who played him for the fool he is
At this point I doubt MAGA crowd will draw the line at paedophilia. The only thing consistent in their belief is idol worship.
Can we skip to the part where his crimes are exposed again and then either ignored or finally result in consequences
They will tell you he is mad, while quietly sending photos of Clinton with Epstein to the media, slowly growing the narrative that Ghislane will be unspooling for her pardon. Nobody will believe her if she just comes out and names a bunch of Democrats, gotta groom the media and shift the narrative first.
ROFLOL
Something something Obama Biden Clinton. Tada! Average american mind erased, go back to trucks, beer, and burgers.
Release the Epstein files or impeach the Pedo POTUS!
Why not both?
Send him to El Salvador!
