If Jesus raped young girls, would his rabid followers have been great with it as long as he was saying what they were thinking? Is trump more powerful and Godlike than the real king of Jews? Let's erect the crosses and sharpen the spikes. Have a few ideas what other 2 repugs could occupy the adjacent crosses like the ones beside Jesus's. We may need a few dozen to handle the accomplices. The event could be done on the DC "Hill" to mirror the ending of the first "coming" of the first "chosen" one.

We must be careful here. Mohamed had much love for girls and young women. And the Bible approves of rape of virgin girls, after a conquest, "keep, them for yourselves."

The entire emphasis on 'virgins' is rather sick.

How many women actually go to paradice as a virgin? What the hell is the incentive for women to get there, just to be passed around like a blunt for one asshole?

centers where a bunch of unaccompanied kids have gone missing is just money in his pocket. Epstein had over 15 phone numbers for Trump in the address book they seized from Epstein's house; more than any other entry in his book.

Trump AND Barr, and my guess is a couple of other republican big names, are up to their eyeballs in this mess.

The girl could be Virginia Roberts Giuffre, and they should check to see if she can corroborate this story. Her abuse started in 2000 (she was 14) and went to some time in 2002 I believe. That would nail Chump's ass down good.

Trumpy was in on everything Epstein was doing. Trumpy had his own "modeling agency" and supplied girls to attend Epstein's parties. It's Trumpy's way to deny anything that would make him look bad. He does it all the time. "Who? Him? Oh. He's my coffee boy. I don't know him and wouldn't be able to recognize him if he sat next to me." That's Trumpy's tell.

Fri Aug 23, 2019, 12:25 PM
Aug 2019

A Trump biographer, Tim O'Brien, tweeted the quote from a 2002 profile of Epstein in New York magazine, in which Trump said: "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."

https://www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstein-trump-link-liking-women-on-the-younger-side-2019-7

So Epstein was using Trump's plane to move girls around? If that is true then Epstein absolutely had to die.

Ms. Giuffre could presumably confirm this story, because the timeline checks out with her other allegations in the lawsuit against Maxwell. So Chump and Epstein had known each other in NYC and Palm Beach for many years by this time. Chump won't be able to distance himself from this story for too much longer.

..Trump, Gore or Clinton in any wrongdoing. (Boies' firm represented Giuffre in that case.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-epstein-court-documents-unsealed-20190810-cju46mmxrfdypj3sscjyqbozb4-story.html

Giuffre’s lawyer, David Boies, said there is nothing in the Maxwell case that showed any wrongdoing by Clinton, Gore or Trump.

“We know both Trump and Clinton were associated with Epstein at various times in various ways, but in terms of what we have, there’s no indication that any of the three of them did anything improper.”

Isn't the Daily Mail sort of equivalent to the National Enquirer? I know it's notorious for carrying sensationalized stories. Now, that's not to say that they don't also ring truer than most gossipy rags, but I wouldn't be getting too overenthusiastic and hopeful about this just yet.

I know people want something like this to be true. But their 'reporting' often is just a recitation of what someone 'claimed', to which they add qualifiers, not a multiple sourced statement of fact.

It also very clearly says: "There's no evidence Trump had any knowledge of Epstein's sordid private life or alleged sex-trafficking activity."

The journalist in question was writing an article for a golf magazine. It would not be surprising if the DM paid him for speaking with them.

It does not appear that he told anyone about this when Epstein was being investigated in 2005-2008, although he says that he would be 'happy to cooperate with the authorities investigating Epstein alleged crimes'.
