The victims were children and no one should lose sight of that

[Quiet Em]

The Epstein scandal is repulsive and horrific. It was heinous assault and abuse of children. That fact seems to be getting lost in some of the reporting and commentary. It's not, "sex with a child". It's the most atrocious form of abuse and assault committed on a child. 13 and 14 year old girls are not "young women". They are children.

1. We know what Trump is. He talks and acts like a rapist.

He is constantly seen in the company of rapists. There should be a lot more people pointing that out, and not being afraid of being sued for telling the truth.

[Irish_Dem]

2. Trump is a convicted rapist.

And hangs around with other rapists.

[Gimpyknee]

16. Actually, he's never been convicted of rape.

[Irish_Dem]

17. He was convicted of sexual abuse/assault.

I am not in the mood to defend the son of a bitch or defend him.

[soldierant]

19. He was convicted of sexual assault in New York,

which has possibly the narrowest definition of rape in the nation. The judge at his trial actually said that in most other states, the charge would have qualified as rape. That is why so many people are calling it rape. And I get that.

[Irish_Dem]

28. Some people here keep defending Trump's rapes.

One can only speculate why.

[soldierant]

32. Under normal circumstances, being a long time pedant (although

I try not to be too obnoxious about it), I might think it was to try to be accurate so that you couldn't be called a liar. But today, when MAGA will call you a liar no matter what you say or do, nit picking accuracy doesn't matter.

[niyad]

30. He was found liable for assault, and the judge stated that it actually WAS RAPE,

but the NY statute defines it only with penile penetration.

Your posted defense of this entitled and busy and boastful sexual predator is disturbing, to say the least. And please do not try to split hairs about legal definitions. We are not a
court of law. We all know exactly who, and what, he is, whatever definitions are used, just as we do his supporters, whatever linguistic games they play.

31. Absoloutely!

[Aviation Pro]

3. Here are some chums

Do that double giraffe jerkoff, you fucking pedophile.

[mercuryblues]

5. I am willing to bet

some were younger than that and they were not all girls.

[TommieMommy]

6. So very true.

[et tu]

7. horribly impacted for the rest

of their lives and made also
to lose their childhood before
they should have. as i have said
before, standing room only in hell
for these abusers - just way to many.

[IronLionZion]

8. Republicans use "underage women" for children because they are creepy predators who abuse children

For the same reason they use "kids" and "youthful indiscretion" and similar for adult men who commit crimes against these young girls.

"locker room talk" that happens maybe in the Trump golf course locker room. They try to normalize horrible stuff that has no excuse.

[BoRaGard]

29. G.O.P. pedos deserve justice

lock them up

[Marthe48]

9. The movie Taken

I only saw a minute, the part where the daughter and another girl were going to be raped by a fat old man, and I turned it off. But why was that aspect of rape such a trigger, but the same people who abhorred that are fine with the details coming out about felon rapist traitor, epstein and other foul predators? And the same kind of monster being asshole uber alles?

[Cherokee100]

10. Whatever happened

Whatever happened to the movie 'Apprentice' ? It was here, for a few days and then disappeared.

[TheRickles]

11. You can buy or rent it on YouTube video

13. Calling children, "young women," discounts snd minimizes the crime

This was calculated child abuse and these monsters destroyed, and discarded children as though they were nothing more than used kleenex.

[Godot51]

14. The helpless

As is usual with "men of power" they prey on the helpless.

Then they claim those helpless were somehow responsible for their fates.

[slightlv]

21. And that's the way it's always been in this country.

I was going to say everywhere, but I don't have experience and knowledge of elsewhere, to know if that die that was cast encompasses all evil males everywhere. Whether it's sex slaves, slaves, little girls or little boys, it's predatory behavior based on a power structure this country exalts. Until we can bring that power structure down to ground in shreds, where it belongs, we'll always have this evil in our midst. Sometimes, I wonder if testosterone shouldn't be regulated after a certain age.

[SheltieLover]

27. Absolutely!

[pansypoo53219]

15. he preyed on poor girls.

[AntiFascist]

18. and trafficked! n/t

[rickyhall]

20. Trump's a pimp. Trump's a pimp.

[kimbutgar]

22. I'd love to ask a maga if they would be ok with their young daughter being alone with the orange Hitler !

[Blue Owl]

23. And this vulgar fucker had the audacity to sell autographed bibles -- AFTER FUCKING CHILDREN

If indeed there is a God — how has he not turned into a pillar of salt?

[Skittles]

24. look how many churchgoers voted for that fucking pedo

[camartinwv]

25. Epstein and Trump raped children.

[SheltieLover]

26. And the pedo perps going unpunished means they're likely raping more kids!

Wtaf is wrong with this country???
