Now it's turning into a big bombshell because a rich media celebrity tosses a few hints around. One of Trumpy/Epstein's victims got frightened into silence more than twice when willing to testify under oath. She was 14 at the time of her alleged victimization by Trumpy. Even as the story is being revealed NOW, the process itself speaks volumes about rich male privilege and immunity over the violent and sexual exploitation of under age females.

Who would they be? Who were these powerful people associated with Epstein in the past? The names should be easy to find.

I won't go so far as to say they are all sociopaths. I do not believe that for a minute. Trump, I have, and would say, is a sociopath.

When it comes to people like Bill Clinton or Prince Andrew though, they have exhibited a number of traits that show empathy and caring that people like Trump will never exhibit. There is and always will be a difference.

Please do not mistake that for me excusing their behavior if they are guilty. I do not excuse the abuse of other humans in any way, shape or form.

Remember, one very stable genius was very complimentary to JE at one time. Acknowledged a friendship, and even made comments about JE's age preference in women.

What a bunch of absolute f'ing dirtbags.

In the media this week:

Jeffrey Epstein.

Michael Jackson

R. Kelly

Robert Kraft.

All of these men are mega-wealthy, privileged, entitled, powerful, insulated from any legal inquiry at all. They have all gotten away with crimes that are next level obscenities. And they've gotten away with this criminal conduct for decades. They all have sycophants who will do anything to protect them, no matter how debauched the behavior in which they engage, just as long as they get to continue to get their "cut."

It's time to lift the statute of limitations on sexual crimes.

Oh, I nearly forgot another criminal:

donald trump
