It could come via …

a wish in one hand, or a spit in the other. Wonder which will fill up first.

Where has all the tariff money gone?

It has been paid by American consumers, and not foreign companies.

It has not gone to the national debt, or for child care as Trump said on the campaign trail.

Bingo!

If any info in those files implicated just his enemies, and exonerated him completely, he would have already had it distributed to news outlets everywhere.

IMO, ALL the predators in the Epstein files, regardless of their wealth and political ties must be outed and held accountable.

Child victims, now adult survivors: “There are about a thousand of us …”

As a mom, a woman, a survivor of assault, it’s infuriating that we still don’t know the names of all the powerful men who raped these girls without consequence.

Only the guilty would do everything to keep their crimes hidden.

Prior to the election, I knew if he ‘won’ what comes after will of course be worse, and that those pulling the strings in the background would decide when and how to allow his presidency to end.

She’s had some great public school teachers and librarians that have inspired her over the years. Thank you for your kind comments, and more importantly, thank you for all you, and your spouse do to teach and help kids.

If we could move to Minnesota now w/o an upheaval, we’d do it. She’s been in this district since starting school. We want her to graduate here. We moved to Iowa for a job, and regret the impact starting fresh in middle school had on our older kid who had been in her prior district since she started.

Agreed! Also, Epstein/Maxwell often chose the most vulnerable girls to rape and for trafficking— ones who had a tough home life or financial situation. All kids need and deserve protection from predators at home, church, schools, sports, etc.

Legal system needs to do better at punishing predators.

I agree. She was an early and prolific reader, so the librarian thing tracks. Still, she surprised me when she shared her goals. She plans to go to college in Minnesota, and is already thinking of dorm life. Big for a kid who used to be glued to my hip! 😆

They’d love that and partner w/evangelicals who love the idea of teens being married and making lots of babies, esp if they’re white.

These vile men want to be able to legally have sex w/children.

Epstein/Maxwell often raped and trafficked girls most vulnerable to predators due to home life/money.

I have a 15 year old. She’s in braces, has straight A’s, and plans to be an art teacher or school librarian. She’s hanging out this afternoon making cupcakes with her girlfriends, one which turns 15 this week. They like music, animals, and have handled their move to HS well. They’re all still kids!

Exactly! I have a 15 year old. She is a CHILD!

That anyone would try to minimize vile sexual assault and trafficking of these girls, because they weren’t infants, toddlers, or young children, is one of the lowest things someone could do, aside from committing the crimes themselves.
