We are saddened by the passing of Hilly Boy Michaels. He was Sparks’ drummer during the Big Beat (1976) era, but stayed in the “Sparks realm” throughout the years. Our thoughts are with his friends and family.

So I actually just watched an exchange from Trumper media in which it was explained that Trump didn't do anything wrong because Epstein only "gave" the women to Trump after they'd aged out of the 15-17 massage age range.

In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

Legitimately if you know the distinction between pedophilia and ephebophilia and use it as a defense of literally anything you are most likely a sex offender and should be investigated as such.
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."
