This has always seemed like a fairly rare pin to me, but 2,279 units were produced so I guess it’s not that rare. Designed by Steve Kirk with art by Robert Quinn and Jorge Oberon.

You guys caught this too, right?

“Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.”

Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.”
