    only one to have ever said that was Trump's lawyer, no one else ever confirmed it to be true (and of course this was said AFTER Epstein got caught, no 911 calls, no nothing to corroborate it

    All due respect. If Wikipedia is the best you can find it’s likely not true. I won’t even read wiki articles. Why would you? You may as well let me edit your posts to read what I want them to.

    as for the other article you posted, the only thing that points out was that there was a lawsuit that was dropped. If that proves guilt you must believe Kobe Bryant was a rapist as well right? It definitely adds to the speculation but it doesn’t prove anything.

    Wiki was merely the first - tons of other reports collaborating this though. And yes the lawsuit from the girl was dropped and there was a LOT of talk about how she was threatened into doing so. One accusation - you can dismiss, 5 says there might be something to it Trump has up to 26 accusers (the number varies)

    I stand corrected. It seems, I can't keep up with all the alleged child predators in the news these days.

    Oh boy, now you’re taxing my knowledge of British royalty, an institution in which I have less than zero interest.

    Epstein visited Clinton White House 17 times:

    According to the Daily Mail, Epstein visited the Clinton White House 17 times, and some days even 3 times. He and Ghislaine first visited it a month after Clinton's inauguration. Robert Rubin was the first to sign off on Epstein's entrance and after a stint as Clinton's treasury secretary, he became the chairman of the Council of Foreign Relations. Another name mentioned at the trial was Democrat Senator George Mitchell.

    According to the pedophile's lawyers, Epstein and Clinton were so close, that he helped the ex-president come up with the Clinton Global Initiative, the lucrative philanthropic venture Clinton and his wife have focused on in the aftermath of his presidency.

    Other than the indifference towards these young girls, who were being used not only for their own gratification, but to blackmail foreign dignitaries for the CIA and Mossad, there's also the question as to how many of our own politicians, judges and billionaires were also compromised so as to benefit the Clintons and the Democratic Party?

    I definitely think this adds to the speculation but nothing has stuck on the sexual assault side. Trust me though. If it comes to light I won’t be defending him.

    I'm confused. First you want to talk about it, then you don't, and now you do again - anything to get Trump.

    Maybe if you follow the thread between us, you won't be confused?

    I agree, I won’t defend him either. I’d also really like to know about his non-disclosure agreements

    The non disclosure I’m not concerned over. His wife obviously was not so why should I be? As for child abuse. I don’t care who you are. You could be the pope for all I care. You do that to a kid hang them high, so high the whole world can see. I don’t stand that crap at all.

    I don’t like Trump much but I don’t see him as a child sexual abuser.

    My wife closest brush with assault was being pushed in a store on Black Friday. All this violence you refer to is new. I'm glad I'm old and remember a more pleasant world.

    Ghislaine Maxwell's defense keeps 'spotlight' on Epstein, other powerful men

    In the first five days of the trial of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, her lawyers have put her deceased boss, Jeffrey Epstein, and his famous friends on trial, legal experts say. In fact, Maxwell’s defense team is subtly trying to portray her as Epstein’s first victim.

    Maybe you should stop and think if women really appreciate you making fun of rape and sexual assault? Also speaking for your wife and her personal experiences regarding her bodily autonomy as a man is not flattering. If your wife has ever actually felt threatened physically or sexually, that’s a conversation you should have with your wife and be willing to respect her personal feelings about.

    I am in no way making fun of rape and sexual assault. That is simply a lie and I do not appreciate your vulgar accusation. My wife has not felt threatened physically or sexually. Perhaps you need to move to a better neighborhood.

    I think that’s a conversation you should be having with your wife, instead of trying to lecture me about your wife’s experiences and personal feelings.

    No need. She has told me many times how she has not experienced all this bad stuff so prevalent in the media. She is not concerned since this awful stuff is not a part of her world. She's a mature gal. A veteran, daughter of a Marine Officer and a serious professional attorney. She sees people starving in Africa too. She has sympathy, but its simply not in her world.

    Child abusers convince themselves to justify their actions that the children they abuse are not children especially those just under the age of consent. I think his sexually loaded innuendo comments are disgusting especially his comment about a ten year old girl going up an escalator

    Trump kept my family safe and prosperous. Gas was cheaper, cat food was plentiful, turkeys were affordable and so much more. Words don't bother me. Actions count. I don't care if he had an affinity for aardvarks... he kept my family safe and prosperous.
