Nature and bird lover, progressive, Kamala Harris supporter, MAGA will be blocked. I Like standup comedy. Ally to LBGTQ+, vulnerable peoples of all kinds. NOT a fan of bullying, hate, indoctrination, discrimination, or willful ignorance.

CHILDREN CANNOT CONSENT (louder for the back)
Quick point of clarification for pundits, politicians, journalists, & any others commenting on the Epstein Trump files:
The victims were NOT "young women". They were CHILDREN.
As such, they were not capable of giving legal consent. Sex without consent is rape.
Words matter. Get them right.
