I’m tired of these “breaking news” stories about FBI tip line calls reporting stuff Trump did with Epstein.
##We are being played.##
I feel 100% certain that there is recorded evidence of Trump having sex with underage girls, but that is not what we have here. We are like cats chasing lasers on the floor while the real shit gets covered up.
Don’t fall for this distraction.
RAPING. The world you were looking for is RAPING. Trump RAPING underage girls.
There is no such thing as an underage girl. The correct word is child. Is there a such thing as an underaged boy? Never heard that. Stop using the pedophile language please. Child they are children
We're all on one side against the pedophilic oligarchs, can we stop having this shitty little outrage contest at each other? This anger at one another is misdirected.
Underage girl is a term meant to lighten the crime
No it isn't. It's what the damn word means. Why are you attempting to argue about a language that's very clearly not your first?
Ignore my point then, fine. I'm talking to all y'all.
How is it lightening the crime if the definition of girl is a female child? I’m confused.
....what? Boy and Girl mean underage. There's no such thing as an underage woman.
In most popular culture music lyrics, those terms are being used for sexual situations all of the time. It is how people talk.
Colloquially, sure. Boy and Girl still mean Child. Not sure how any English speaker could possibly not know this.
It is how people talk informally, but I would assume any mention of a girl or boy on the news referred to a child.
Yeah, Epstein died 7 years ago, during Trumps first term as president, and since neither Trump's nor Biden's administrations released the files entirely so far, there is a huge risk that the most damming evidence has been lost or tampered with.
At this point, I hope that there are a few agents who has managed to save unaltered copies of the files in a hidden locked box, just waiting for a good opportunity (for themselves) to release them.
Allegedly died
Humm, that would be an interesting development....
Also this is just an fbi tip. They are legally required to document the claims; that doesn't mean they are any more than claims. We should not be focusing on unsubstantiated shit when there is definitely more concrete evidence out there.
Yeah calling bullshit on this dribbling of alleged information.
Yeah, most of the Epstein files have not been released. That is an objective fact. And obviously it is the worst (for Trump) which they have held back, even though the stuff they have released is already pretty bad for him.
They are not going to release anymore though.
