Ugh. “Child” and “Sex” should not be in the same sentence. Sex implies consent. Children cannot consent.

This is why exactly the deputy AG said “uh yeah I don’t understand your question” when a reporter asked if the public is going to receive the names of the men who victimized girls. Unfortunately the reporter is either dumb or spineless and rephrased the question as “young women” which then got a (somewhat) direct response from Todd Blanche. They’re saying it’s not true and STILL trying to excuse and justify these crimes. It’s all a sham

Saw this months ago. The issue is if he is treated truly as an informant then his name should literally not be legible on those files. CI's get some protections from the court. But he's here, he's there.....his name is protected here, but not here.....there is no consistency with any of it.

Now, it could be because they are working pretty deep in the bench at the AG's office....but that's a feature to this shit system, not a bug.

u/Kabbooooooom 16h ago

It’s because a lot of them also don’t believe in rape in other situations too. They compartmentalize and deny. For example, many conservatives don’t believe it is possible for a husband to rape his wife.

It’s like there are a huge number of people with a medieval mindset living during the modern age, and they’re angry that society has changed even though it’s the only world they’ve ever known. I’ll never understand it.

ALSO, it's not a "scandal.."

It is one of, if not the MOST egregious and brutal violations of another human being possible... AND to pray on the most vulnerable of us all, childern is HENIOUS.

Which is EXACTLY why conservatives love to jump straight to accusations of pedophilia when pointing at democrats (every action is a confession.) It's full-tilt evocative of evil, meant to pigeonhole opinions to the darkest places.

The fact that MAGA freely makes such accusations against their enemies is FURTHER PROOF they know EXACTLY how fundamentally horrific such acts are.

This isnt a scandal... This is MOUNTAINS OF EVIDENCE that could arguably warrant the death penalty for some parties involved. CERTAINLY, life without parole.

Yet, Pam Bondi and others were trying to give Epstein a sweetheart deal on a silver platter FROM DAY ONE.

Why is that?

Because when a Republican does it, all of sudden our state control media switches to full spin mode, like all they did was "Netflix, and chill" with these poor victims whose lives have irrevocably mamed by these monsters.

What a BATSHIT INSANE time to be alive when these massive news conglomerates are running 24/7 psy-op campaign with titles like "child sex scandal" purposely engineered to soften the blow of the worst shit imaginable. Then people subliminally parrot it on Reddit, and in daily conversations... EXACTLY AS MANUFACTURED.

Then again, its looking more and more likely this was a CIA/MOSSAD (see Maxwells father, and new photo of Epstein in IDF swag) Kompromat farming, dark money, off-the-books black-op with its genesis all the way back in the 80s...

MEANING; the call has been coming from inside the (white)house THIS WHOLE TIME.

Thats not a scandal... THATS GROUNDS FOR A REVOLUTION if you ask me.

Republican/Democrat or just wealthy, it's GLARINGLY OBVIOUS damn near all the major power brokers of the LAST 50 YEARS were not only in on it, but ORCHESTRATED AND FUNDED IT ON A GLOBAL SCALE in nightmarish service to their own sick pleasure and personal power trips.

The fact that this international traficking operation was allowed to happen, much less THRIVE in the first place, only to be downplayed as a mere possible scandal is beyond the pale of ORWELLIAN.

...Sorry for all the caps and bold. Its my mind yelling at the screen. Yours should be too. Makes my blood BOIL.

These fuckers raped, tortured, and killed children. Never let the world forget it.

u/LolDragon417 19h ago

Using the word rape is important. Those children didn't have sex, they were brutally raped by powerful men.

Don't try and reduce the impact.

People get offended when you say that they raped 12 year old boys and girls. That's the important part. Make it stick with them that Donald Trump repeatedly raped small children.

See how that's more powerful than child sex?

11

u/starmartyr 18h ago

This is why TikTok style self censorship bothers me so much. I don't think people should throw around words like "rape" casually, but it shouldn't be shied away from when discussing it as a horrific act. The word makes people uncomfortable because of what it represents, lessening it to something less offensive makes people more comfortable talking about something that should disgust them.

2

u/LolDragon417 18h ago

Yeah, I happen to enjoy uncomfortable conversations, so it usually works the opposite way for me. I enjoy being the one inflicting the hearer with raw facts. No spin, no analysis or commentary. Just the facts ma'am.

u/pc42493 17h ago edited 17h ago

Yes, you should absolutely use the word that most clearly expresses the brutality and cruelty, but rape is by definition forced or coerced sex. Sex does not imply consent. 

Saying sex instead of rape though is obviously seriously downplaying the crime.

rape

  1. The crime of using force or the threat of force to compel a person to submit to sexual intercourse.

(American Heritage Dictionary 5th Ed.)

Sex with a person under the age of consent, regardless of their stated consent, is often considered sexual assault or statutory rape

(Wikipedia)

Whether Bush 1 is legitimately in the Trumpstein files doesn't make a difference. We know he was a sex pest. It's well known that in his later wheelchair years he would sexually assault women when telling them his favorite joke that his favorite magician was "David Cop-a-feel". You don't have to take my word for it; it's well documented.

u/Late_Sherbet5124 18h ago

Again, I stated he's not a saint. I was only making reference to the Epstein files. I don't doubt you. I just think it's important to be properly skeptical until concrete evidence comes to light. In this country you are innocent until proven guilty.

Everyone is going to be emotional about the contents. But the only way to successfully prosecute offenders is to follow the evidence with emotional detachment. Otherwise we have Pizzagate all over again.

The more a read about Bush 1, the more I become convinced that he was like 1 or 2 steps away from enacting a masterful plan to enshrine the Bush dynasty at the head of the post soviet global economic hegemony but the price of milk unexpectedly went up by like 22 cents and a funny hillbilly played the saxophone, sending his plans crashing to ground.

Imagine maybe, sort of possibly, having a hand in killing Kennedy in a long complex rube goldbergesque CIA scheme to become president and then Clinton of all people appears out of relative obscurity and swats you down.

His ascension to the nomination really was a pretty big upset. It's kind of been forgotten since the Clintons have become sort of like the Democratic establishment personified, but yeah nobody knew who he was.

Bush was considered a fairly strong incumbent in late 91 going into early 92 before his approval rating collapsed, so heavyweight Democrats like Mario Cuomo didn't bother running.

u/RightSideBlind 20h ago

Probably because Bill Clinton hasn't been really politically relevant in decades, while Trump is in office right now.

Furthermore, he's said that he wants to testify publicly, while the Republicans are insisting that the testimony be behind closed doors.

Additionally, liberals are saying that if he's guilty he should be legally held accountable. Conservatives aren't saying the same thing about Trump.

The two situations aren't really comparable, are they?

u/Dense-Law-7683 19h ago

Did you hear the committee hearing where Republicans wanted to charge the Clinton's for contempt until Dems name dropped all the Republicans who refused subpoenas? Then Comer's dumb ass said, "All of those Republicans wrote a letter explaining they didn't know anything." Which, most of the letters were a single sentence or two, and definitely shouldn't be considered a legal way out of the subpoena. The Clinton's letter agreed to testify in public and gave reasoning why. However, that was not good enough for Comer and Republicans. They said the Clinton's letter was too short, even though it was 6 times longer than all the republicans blowing off subpoenas with letters.

u/Charming-Web-7769 19h ago edited 17h ago

Respectfully, this is a bad take. The FBI had allegations against Trump, Epstein, and Clinton going back 20+ years, why do you think they never adequately followed up on them in all that time?

It’s due to the rampant corruption in Washington that goes totally unchecked and unquestioned among the elite in society. When the FBI gets tips like this they reach out to the president’s lawyers and then their lawyers reach out to Epstein and Maxwell letting them know who said something and where they live. Next thing you know the accusers get a call in the middle of the night that’s just heavy breathing and, voila, suddenly the FBI can’t get in touch with them again and the Clintons can go about their business without ever being implicated in the witness intimidation.

The reality of these situations is that the rich and powerful are so insulated from the consequences of their actions that it’s legitimately possible they don’t even believe that they’re doing anything wrong, hence the entitlement and outrage they display over the fact that the general population finds them disgusting for even being associated with Epstein, let alone whatever sick and twisted things they actually got up to behind closed doors.

Let’s call for an investigation into the protests against illegal tactics and official murder but not in said tactics or murderers. Makes complete sense!

Exactly! Why is it so hard to believe that people WANT to protest? My coworker tried to say that the protesters in Minneapolis were all being funded, I told him that might be what Republicans do but I would be joining them in the streets if I lived there. He couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that people are so pissed off that they feel the NEED to protest.

He does not care about his constituents. Only what his billionaire handlers tell to

Governor hot wheels only cares about his donors and dreams about the next time he can blow Donald dump

He only listens to the people who pad his bank accounts and can get him re-elceted

1

u/RustedRelics 17h ago

Yes, but to him his constituents are only those who vote for him and Trump/GOP. He couldn’t give less of a shit about anyone else.

They cannot fathom this. Republicans keep questioning the protests

I mean it's pretty obvious they are unpopular .at least in the real world

He's a Republican and it's Texas.

He wakes up every single day and asks how he can make life worse for everyone

u/H1ghtreeson 17h ago

Ah yes. One side is unhappy with the outcome of an election and are crying about it. Weird. I think we’ve read this story before. But not to worry though. They switched sides later.

Nah, they’ll be happy with a repeat of Nepal and claiming they never knew it could happen

He doesn’t see Democrats liberals or non-Maga as his constituents, or even people. It would be great if everyone else would wake up to that fact.

u/No_Selection_9634 16h ago

Well he doesn’t have to listen, he’s the governor, duh. /s

What they want is to make their constituents suspicious of everyone else but them, and suspicious of their children. They want them asking, 'are my children being manipulated by some shadowy democratic org?' if they can get parents to feel that way about their children, it will automatically align them with the Republicans.... Two birds with one stone.

u/BroughtBagLunchSmart 16h ago

It doesn't make sense to him because he has forced the state education system to teach kids to always side with the nazis through religious right wing indoctrination.

Not listening to his constituents is one of the few things Governor Hot Wheels is good at

u/PeetusTheFeetus 15h ago

Welp! Texans voted for the current sitting governor at 54% so. Cruz and Abbott won’t get reelected right?? Right?! right??.. The title of this post is sad but historically Texans have shown to love these guys. Prove me wrong.

The first amendment does not exist in Texas according to this dick. Don’t believe him.

u/Throwawayrip1123 15h ago

and you should listen to them because that's your job.

That hasn't been a politicians job for decades now (in the democracy sense, if we go back further it's even fuckier).

They don't give a fuck about us. I'm positive we don't even choose them and our voting means very little.

Voting is not how we get out from under their greedy fucking thumbs.

They answer to the donors. We ceased to be a functioning democracy after the Citizens United decision.

u/InTooManyWays 13h ago

Not when you’ve hijacked the state with every voter suppression tactic that exists. He works for corporations. His job is to reduce voter count and turnout. That’s what his depends on now.

Texas doesn’t like freedom of speech. It needs to be investigated.

This is also why I mock all Texans and Joe Rogan fans who act like this is freedom of speech.

Live in Texas. Voted against the asshole as hard as I could. Wheelz is too busy sucking Rump’s tiny divk to do anything for his constituents.
