Trump spends most of his time these days peeing on someone's leg and telling them it is raining. Trump believes that most of his followers will believe his lies. Trump continues to lie about Epstein, saying he parted ways with him in 2000, but Mar-a-Lago records show that Epstein was still a member of Trump's club until 2007. One of Epstein's girls has come forward and said she had three "dates" with Trump and he put her up in apartment in New York. This is far from over.
We have a problem with child molestation in America that other countries don't have. We have evolved a society that bends over backward to protect pedophiles. When the Catholic church had a problem with pedophiles they did everything in their power to protect the pedophiles and silence the victims for the "good of the church." It is extremely hard for child to make a case against an adult. There were a lot more pedophiles involved in this case as Epstein "loaned" his girls out to friends sometimes couples. We don't want to make the mistake of circling the wagons around the pedophiles to protect them. Whether they are famous scientists or powerful politician it is time we stop seeing them as the real "victims" here.
Several years ago, I was driving through town and came across a billboard that said that one in four American women are raped. I thought that is was way too high. Most of those women who were rapped were raped when they were children and most vulnerable. It is easy for an adult to take advantage child. I had a cousin, and we were going to the store. I said you were quite a wild child; she ran away several times. She told me her father was raping me and each time she was bought back he raped her again. Another girl friend was being raped by her stepfather. Another girl friend was made to draw her cousin's bath and her aunt who she lived put her son together with his cousin. I heard several more stories and as I think back the one in four figure may be low. This problem exists because people don't want to hear about and don't want to teach their boys that it is not their birthright.
America has a great opportunity to confront the child molesting problem. What was once kept hidden and a mark of shame has now been drug into the nations spotlight because of Trump involvement with Jeffery Epstein. Whether Trump is guilty of a crime or not the nation will have to acknowledge how widespread the problem is.
Everybody should read, "Nobody's Girl" by Viriginia Roberts Giuffre. The story is very detailed, and the details were verified. It was not enough that Epstein molested Giuffre he loaned her out to others, He told her it was good to have something on somebody.
I am beginning to think the Catholic Church is editing this board. Yesterday post was printed before, and it is still on the board. I think they want to bury anything about Trump and his ties to Epstein.
Does Trump deserve a sliver of doubt? I don't think so. Trump told us when he was running for president the first time that he was a pig with the Access Hollywood tapes. This may be the only case where Trump was telling the truth and then claimed he was lying. The women that he molested said he was a pig. Then he went on the Howard Stern show and said he was a pig. He also said he deserved a medal because he did not get a venereal disease from all his screwing around. Trump has absolutely no respect for women why would he have any respect for girls?
Ghislaine Maxwell said in her defense that their victims were just "trash." How much better she imagines herself to be. By seeing herself as so much better it grants license to do anything to the trash that they see fit. I am sure that Maxwell sees herself as the victim. Maxwell would often have sex with Epstein's victims. Telling the victim that Jeffery likes to see two females together. A female having sex with an underage girl is as bad as a man having sex with an underage girl. The sense of entitlement of the wealthy was the wind beneath Epstein's wings.
In the book, "Nobody's Girl" the author, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, relates how she was "lent out" to scientists, billionaires, an even a prince. After her first session with the prince Maxwell gave her $15,000. Epstein only paid $200 a "session". I wonder how much money Epstein kept. Epstein was not only using young girls, but he was also using them to influence other powerful people. It is known that Epstein's New York home was full of cameras and his "guests" were recorded. Prince Andrew also participated in an orgy on Epstein's private island with the author and 8 other girls who did not speak English, Epstein also joined in.
Epstein believed the laws against having sex with underage girls could not be enforced against him because they varied from state to state. He believed that there was only one standard if the girl had her first period it was legal to have sex with her. Celebrities routinely flew on Epstein's plane one was Simpson creator Matt Groening was guest on Epstein's plane. Virginia was relieved to find he only wanted a foot massage. You can see that Epstein was using underage girls to gain influence over powerful people. He was not an ordinary child molester he used the underage girls as weapons.
It ain't the republicans killing you
It ain't the democrats killing you
It is the virtue-signalers killing us all.
Fact: virtue-signalers have started every war in all of human history.
@SpiritualSecession1,
Most wars throughout history were fought to take territory or resources. You need only look at Trump who is going to war to steal the oil from Venezuela and Greenland to take the territory. Trump has no virtue at whatsoever, signal or otherwise.
Some of Epstein "friends" were violent. He would loan his girls to violent sex offenders. One such offender was known as the Prime Minster. He nearly killed Virginia. He would choke her out until she was unconscious let her regain consciousness and do it again. When it was over she was bleeding from every orifice. When she complained to Epstein, he said some of his friends were that way. Then he set her up again with the Prime Minster.
@Zardoz,
When Marjoree Taylor Greene disobeyed Trump by signing the petition to require the Epstein papers be made public. Trump was beyond angered. He called Greene and demanded that she remove her name from the petition. Trump was yelling at her over the phone and said do you realize if those papers become public “it will embarrass all my friends.” People often say true things in anger that they would not otherwise say. Greene has since resigned from congress. I wonder what threats were made. Greene did not remove her name from the petition. It looks like all of Trump’s friends are going to be embarrassed.
I watched a documentary about the boy scouts yesterday in the end 82,000 boy scouts sued the Boy Scouts of America because they were molested by scout leaders. As with the Catholic church they kept a red list of molesters. They claimed that the problem was miniscule. It is funny how you never see the things you don't want to. The Boy Scouts filed bankruptcy to ward off the lawsuits. Between the Catholic church, the Boy Scouts, other religious groups, and Epstein we must be child molestation capitol of the world with Thailand finishing a distant second.
A few years ago, I bought a NordicTrack exercise bike it is equipped with a computer that gives you a view of the area you are biking in. The instructors know the local area and give you bits and pieces about the local culture. In Switzerland the instructor noted baby in buggies sitting outside of stores and small children going places unaccompanied. He said they don’t have a problem with child molesters and babies are left unattended while their mother's shop.
In the Epstein scandal there is another dimension and that is class. The rich feel they are just better people. Ghislaine Maxwell says her victims were just trash she is saying that she should not be prosecuted because her victims are less than nothing. When Trump yelled at Majorie Taylor Greene that if she did not remove her signature from the petition to release the Epstein papers “it would embarrass all his friends.” The implications are clear his friends being embarrassed is far more important than what the victims endured. Trump is circling the wagons to protect the child molesters, just like the Catholic Church, and the Boy Scouts.
Mylissa Gilbert husband, actor Timothy Busfield has been arrested on charges of child molestation. Details of the charges are few. It involves two twin 11-year-old boys that were actors on a show called the “Cleaning Lady.” Busfield was the director.
Timothy Busfield Has now been charged in another child molestation case, a 16-year-old girl has now come forward. This is addition to the twin boys who were 7 when the incident is alleged to have occurred.
Can the republican completely destroy are medical system? They have already shut down 192 hospitals since 2000 in America. These are mostly in the country where most people don’t have health insurance. It is simple if the Hospital can’t get paid it can’t stay in business. This is why the republican’s cut to Medicaid are so important they will help close more hospitals. Once the hospitals in the country close those people will go to the hospitals in town. They still won’t be able to pay their bill, and it will put pressure on the city hospitals to close. The republicans did the same thing with an affordable college education. They had to keep cutting taxes for ultra rich. How far past zero can the republicans cut the taxes on the ultra-rich?
How do you bankrupt a business? Cut income while expenses remain the same. The republicans are taking billions away from the American hospital system to finance bigger tax cuts for the mega rich. The number of people with medical problems that need hospitalization will not change because the mega rich want bigger tax cuts what will change is the number of hospitals going bankrupt. It might not be your local hospital that goes bankrupt, but it might be.
I have always believed Trump is a stupid man, but I had no idea how stupid. When Trump went bankrupted three casinos while others in the same business became rich beyond their wildest imagination. The republicans have cut taxes on the mega rich until they have nearly bankrupted the country. Now Trump thinks he can buy Iceland. Where would the money come from? How much would Greenland cost? One estimate is $3.3 billion. That would not even buy a house in a rich neighborhood. The other estimate is $700 billion. The $3.3 billion would be a better deal than when the Indians sold New York for a few beads.
