    I didn’t say confronting people with the, yes fucking braindead obvious conclusion of putting “notoriously friends with and protector of pedophiles whose name appears literally more than anyone else in the epstein documents, requiring literally thousands of manhours of redactions of specifically his name from the epstein documents,” and also “is a rapist” together would solve anything: there will always be people who will refuse to trust even their own instincts, let alone the testimony of multiple mutually corroborating victims, FBI documents with repeated, mutally corroborating anonymous tips about Trump individually and Trump in connection with Epstein (and I really could go on at some considerable length further here); I said it was necessary (about fucking time).

    Sure. Let’s all just ignore the credible, repeated, unadjudicated claims of child rape for whatever catastrophe the obvious1 child rapist is causing to distract from all his other crimes this week. why not. yeah great idea. who cares about an uncounted number of children who wont even speak up for themselves for some reason. all those politicians around the world connected to this are probably like, low level and unimportant anyway. no princes or princesses or kings or presidents or pms or senators or entire national alliances are implicated in this. youre so fucking smart and reasonable dude, it was such a wise and ethical idea to ignore all those child rapes good call bro

    1. like, comically obvious:

    edit: “Sure, he’s capable of operating concentration camps and bombing countries just to manipulate the stock market, but I draw the line at any suggestion he might have RAPED CHILDREN. Be reasonable.”

    edit2: a thing can be necessary but insufficient in itself. the two are not incompatible.

    edit3: he had to be talked out of pardoning ghislane for the love of all that is good in this world… how fucking obtuse can you be?

      From what I have read about the claims that Trump raped children, the evidence is weak. I haven’t dug into it that much, but I live in a country where I trust some of the media to have looked at it and flagged anything serious that I therefore didn’t spot.

      At the same time, we live in a time when people are willing to call any Republican anything, regardless of evidence, so the assertions of a rando on the internet doesn’t really sway me, I’m afraid.

      Let’s all just ignore the credible, repeated, unadjudicated claims of child rape for whatever catastrophe the obvious child rapist is causing to distract from all his other crimes this week.

      This doesn’t make sense. You can’t in usefully distract from crimes by committing other serious crimes. It just draws attention to your new crimes.
