    Trump being outed as a pedophile won’t even remotely shake the support of the religious right.

    They already sold their souls on the altar of a golden calf. They’re too proud to admit it.

      No they’re fanatical. He could be doing it right in front of them and they’ll give the “god works through imperfect vessels” line

      The religious right prefers their leadership to be child molesters. There’s like no other conclusion that can be drawn from how they protect priests who do so.

    • I mean… the Christian church is probably the largest organization of pedophiles.

      Its global, it’s stuffed to the gills with pedophile priests and pastors etc.

      Which one organization could have more than them?

    The “grab em by the pussy” guy, the person to proudly boast about being able to look at young girls and publicly talking about his daughter in a sexual manner, just full on fantasizing about her on live television, IS A SERIAL RAPIST?!? Never would have guessed, totally came out of the blue.

    Anybody supporting this monster is a blissful moron that doesn’t even listen to what their great leader says, or is equally as fucking repulsive.

    It bothers me that this article calls Epstein “the disgraced financier” instead of “the human trafficker”.

      It is not sane people you need to convince. You need to convince the Christofascists that theocracy is bad, the racists that other people are human, and the homophobes that others’ relationships aren’t harming them. All Repubs are bigots who want a schoolyard bully to make their enemies angry.

        Right so this is pretty interesting and I’m actually a bit surprised nobody else has picked up on this, because not only does it work with the name, it also works with the hair. Turnip. That’s a fact bud.

        My family calls mashed rutabaga “turnips”, and they’re orange AF. That’s where my mind went first.

      Yep. There should be two weeks worth of articles at least stating as such.

      Media should also question every Republican and ask if they support him staying in the race.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The new documents contain “incendiary claims” about the former president, including accusations that he had sexual relations with “many girls”, made by one of Epstein’s alleged victims, Sarah Ransome.

    In the newly unsealed documents, Ms Ransome testified that her unnamed friend “was one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump” – including at Epstein’s New York townhouse.

    Monday’s unsealed extracts were included in a letter sent by attorneys representing Alan Dershowitz, seeking to undermine Ms Ransome’s credibility.

    In a New Yorker article released in 2019, Ms Ransome said that “she had invented the tapes to draw attention to Epstein’s behavior, and to make him believe that she had ‘evidence that would come out if he harmed me’”.

    Steven Cheung, spokesperson for Mr Trump, told The Independent: “These baseless accusations have been fully retracted because they are simply false and have no merit.”

    In part of testimony from another victim Johanna Sjoberg, it was claimed Epstein once “called up” the former president and visited one of his casinos after his private plane was diverted to Atlantic City in New Jersey.
