There are very serious questions about Donald Trump's interaction with underage girls who were known to have been victims of sex-trafficing.
This must be addressed. It cannot stand to be an open question.
I absolutely am ashamed of a country and a government that would allow itself to be run by a person of that caliber.
Until he clears his name and the facts emerging about his reputed pedophilia, I can't bear the thought of this person continuing in his current role. Disgusting!

How do you feel about Epstein running a blackmail operation? Or at least managing it?

Can't blackmail a pedophile. The pedophile is guilty, 25 years, no parole, and gets raped in prison. The blackmailer gets out of prison after a couple of years.

I dated 15-year-old girls when I was 17 because I was near the top of the list of my school's all-time great runner dudes but otherwise a normal high school kid much loved by everyone. There wasn't anything aberrational going on. But adults who manipulate 15-year-olds into acting much older than they actually are with false promises are a special kind of evil. Megyn Kelly's fans would say no, they are not. Nothing sleazy and advantageous going on at all. It's the guys who like 8-year-olds who are far more whacked out of their minds.
When you have the money and power of people like Epstein and those who were in his orbit, you can get high end prostitutes or just find woman who want to be in a sugar daddy relationship. Throw a fancy and exclusive party in NYC and you will be able to find some women who are willing to hook up in exchange for being around some high rollers. But those women do have some agency and will walk away if they do not want to fool around. Also, while politicians would have an issue with getting caught cheating pre-Trump/Stormy Daniels, most other high rollers in Epstein's orbit would not face any scrutiny for hooking up with some young hot girl at a party.
But when you curate a collection of beautify teen age girls, now you have something that no one else has. And you have girls who lack agency because many of them were already victims of abuse or had drug problems, etc. and were very easily drawn into Epstein's word. Thus, Epstein had the forbidden fruit. And anyone who had sex with any of his trafficked girls would be not just in a position to be embarrassed publicly if word got out, they would also have the potential to be prosecuted.

It is pretty amazing to see the M#GA faithful and aligned right wingers having to wade into the issue of the sexual debut of girls and implicitly admit that girls are sexually active in their early teens. Heretofore, the issue was well settled among right wingers. Girls saved themselves for marriage because that is what Jesus said they had to do. But if they really meant that, then Megyn Kelly would not be able to argue that there is a difference between sex with a pre-pubescent girl and a girl in her teens. Both are a sin against God if the bible is where you are coming from.
And this then lands Kelly right into the very difficult issue of age of consent laws. In France, the age of consent is just 15. That is actually in line with most social norms in France about the acceptable age for kids to become sexually active. The majority of US states are at 16, with others at 17 or 18. And then there are some states that also put age gap into the equation so a 17 year old is not accused of statutory rape when having sex with a 15 year old girl friend.
So, if M#GA is now going to take a stance against somewhat puritanical age of consent laws and conservative social norms on sex before marriage, that may not be such a bad thing. But that in no way diminishes what Epstein did. Epstein and Maxwell intentionally targeted emotionally vulnerable girls. Virginia Giuffre had previously been a runaway, was in juvenile detention and had been sexually abused. She was lured into the Epstein circle with promises of being trained to be a professional massage therapist and getting to be around very wealthy people with the fringe benefits of fancy parties, travel, etc. She was then forced to have sex with Epstein in order to remain in that inner circle and then trafficked to a number of wealthy and powerful people.
At this point, the age of consent and differences between a pedophile who seeks out prepubescent children versus children who are on the borderline between being deemed to have the capacity to consent almost become irrelevant. Epstein did not target young girls because he was into "barely legal". He targeted young girls because they were easier to dominate psychologically in order to be able to traffic them.

You mean the Democrats that started the petition to release the files? The one that majority of Republicans didn't sign? The same Democrats???
Precisely. They generate good publicity by saying they want to release them even though they had control for four years and didn't do it. When given an immediate vote yesterday they immediately turned it down. Their base is easily fooled.
The irony is thicker than your skull. Dems want people’s names next to their votes. Transparency, the GOP’s worst nightmare.
