The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

My 15 year old was still staging GI Joe guy battles on every bookshelf in the house. The idea of an adult intruding into that last breath of childhood is beyond disgusting, and so is defending it.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Once, when I was a barista out of high school, someone ordered an “extra hot” latte, and when I told her the highest I could go she went off on me for 10 mins. When eventually I made it as hot as I could without getting fired, she tried to pour it on my head.

It's still hard for me to fathom that the New York Times *had* proof of Epstein's pedophile ring on their servers since 2016 and just chose not to do anything with it.
I've known for a while that the press was corrupt, but I didn't know to this extent.

I live in a time when "a cabal of pedophiles runs the country" and "the national media have been engaging in a multi a year long conspiracy to end democracy" are factual statements and I want a refund
About the same time the NYT sat on a scoop tying Trump to Epstein, Maggie Haberman was downright giddy (y'all) about NYT promoting an anti-Hillary Clinton book.

the easiest out for the elites in pedo club is to find one scapegoat and the easiest one is him but he's also the king of the shit mountain that they live on and how this plays out is going to eventually lead to about 2 dozen movies
What's going on with Epstein right now is classic Washington.
Everyone is implicated in this and they are all fighting to see who is going to have to drop on their sword and take the fall.
I suspect it is going to be Donald Trump.

To explain: "Kabbalah" is a term referring to a wide array of mystic practices and texts in Judaism, but antisemites have LONG used it as an example of Judaic secretiveness and evil
Ergo describing some evil secret group as a "cabal"
