My “Being into 15 year olds doesn’t make me a pedophile” shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
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."

Hasan Piker calls Gal Gadot “a dogsh*t actress” and quips: “She has no business [being at the Oscars] for the crime of what she has done to not only the DC franchise, but really any movie she’s been a part of.”
“All jokes aside,” he continued, “Gal Gadot serves an important role in normalizing Israel as not a fascist ethno-state, but instead a place where a lot of beautiful women come from. And those beautiful women happen to serve in the IDF, because there’s also this weird sexualization of the forces as well that takes place, and it plays another role in normalizing Israel and its activities and actions, and whitewashing it.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fv2nxxac24oxk5fqztfazyuc/bafkreigthuiyz2d5d7dkyogoytupmk2hucarvcws3qmsoibragj66s2svy@jpeg)

We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party
