    Consensual prostitution is fine. The problem is the blackmail ring.

    The conventional theory: in order to be elected to Federal office in the States, you have to be selected by a party (primary elections are rigged, as we saw with Bernie Sanders). The parties only select candidates they can control, whether that is by secret videos or something else.

      The blackmail thing I agree with but I do find it funny that people from a country that spent 20 years bombing kids in the desert never cared about those kids then but now suddenly they’re so moral.

        so, according to you, because the united states military murdered innocent kids, then that means everyone in the united states supported that crime?

        i get it. you hate america. i do too, and i live here. iraq, afghanistan-- everywhere this country has raped-- it’s fucking shameful.

        but you are not the director of this conversation. we’re talking about rape. trump is a rapist. of women and children. and you don’t care about this. i can’t emphasize enough how fucking revolting you are. you’re talking about “if she’s 14, then she’s legal”?

        what the fuck is wrong with you?

        i don’t really expect anything other than more is/ought from you, but seriously dude-- try to develop some empathy

          you have to give each case the same amount of attention. it’s hypocritical to care about these women but then not talk about the way larger group of women that faced way worse from the US army

            i agree. the US army rapes women, and these crimes get no mention whatsoever in the propaganda “news” we’re tubefed in the states. i fucking hate it.

            but again, the thread is about epstein and trump raping children, and you don’t care.

            tell me again what you’re trying to argue here?

              People should focus more on issues that matter. Like UBI or the employment crisis. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is being used as a distraction by politicians so they don’t have to address real problems. It’s like rome’s bread and circuses.

                yes, those things matter. but preventing people from being trafficked and exploited and raped, ALSO matters, regardless of how little you care about it. this might be a shock to you, but multiple things CAN matter at the same time.

                the fact that you’re butthurt by people being angry about trafficking and child rape says a lot more about you than it does about this ideal “she’s legal, it’s fine” mindset you’re trying to advocate for

                people say it a lot, to the point of being a cliche insult, but seriously dude-- i think you should talk to a therapist

                  I don’t really care about this story. I just think people treat it more like tabloid news. And even if I was upset, what exactly am I going to do about it? I’m an ordinary citizen. I’d be better off worrying about problems that affect me in my day to day life then about this crime which happened 20 years ago and most of the victims have been paid off handsomely. Plus ghislane maxwell is in prison and epstein is dead. What more justice can they get?

                    everyone gets it dude. you don’t care about anything but yourself, like a true maga.

                    and no. you are NOT an “ordinary citizen.”

                    ordinary citizens CARE about children getting raped.

                    i don’t know what else to tell you. i hope you get some help
