Ppl just want to hope that trump is turning his back on this type of culture and will expose it all. That's the only reason I ever really defend him. I'm sure that might sound stupid, but I feel it could be true at this point.

Welp, we tried last year and they damn near shut down the internet. Remember all those Arab twitter accounts sharing child porn? When it got exposed, twitter shut the site down. Keep in mind- one of the big Saudi princes who just went down had a huge stake in twitter. And those guys are almost def involved in human trafficking. Look at all the trafficking in Libya, Kosovo, etc then look at who funded these nation's dip into depravity.

I think this could all be connected. Usually I'm a cynical bastard, especially about someone with an ego like trumps. But he might actually be going for it.

This is essentially his only redeeming quality and the thing keeping me from bashing trump like I used to. It's not hope or faith. If anything, it's confirmation bias. I think I see a pattern, perhaps

We have to do this and expose them ourselves.

I have a suspicion the "we" in all of this will stfu if Trump is brought down. Not because people believe Trump constitutes the ring leader in all of this (though even if he was, his fall wouldn't mark the end of it), but because it would no longer be politically expedient to continue pushing it.

Here’s Trump hanging out with a known rapist https://media1.s-nbcnews.com/j/msnbc/components/video/201605/2016-05-06t11-35-03-3z--1280x720.nbcnews-ux-1080-600.jpg

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you "whataboutism."

What? I’m agreeing with you. Trump and a clinton are rapists and pedophiles.

Or Neither! Yuck!

Point to the specific part in this sentence where you claim Donald Trump is a rapist, "Here's Trump hanging out with a known rapist (link)."

You know a persons character by the people they hang with. He also hangs out with Jeff Epstein.

But I don't think it's actually "whataboutism" when used to shine a light on how it's a broader, non-partisan issue, which is how I interpreted OC's photo. I feel like that's more akin to broadening the spotlight than deflecting attention or blame, ya know?

Did you know Trump has commented on Epstein's island?

Watch and listen for yourself:

He's also a pathological liar. So there's that

I like how you frame this as a problem specific to information critical of Trump. Try posting the link between Clinton and Epstein. You'll also be instantly downvoted.

In fact, almost every thread and comment gets instantly downvoted. There's a bot and shill problem here, yes, but it's not a one sided problem as you're trying to claim.

They quietly disappeared a related court case right (13 year old girl) before the election - but when you're a star they let you do it.

That doesn't scream smear-campaign to you?

Why didn't Hillary bring it up in debates? It would've been an instant kill.

Fair enough.

What pisses me off is that each team ignores half of the story. Trump had a relationship with Epstein. The Clintons had a relationship with Epstein. Each side is only willing to admit one of those things.

If you want me to stop downvoting this shit then start looking at both sides of the issue instead of using it as a partisan attack.

Exactly this.

They're both complicit.

We all heard it b4 , talk about this supposed wikileaks and trump junior collaboration at least its new.

If you come to that conclusion, you would also have to believe nobody died in Las Vegas. When I see posts about how it's a hoax, it's treated the same way.

Every post that calls out Donald Trump and his Epstein relationship. and presents a claim with legitimate sources

Can you cut to the chase and sum up what these allegations are?

I know Trump has had claims against him.... if True I think he should be held accountable. It's one of the most despicable things you can do. I DO find it suspicious though that claims came out before the election and then just disappeared. Especially the one woman that apparently had a history of filing claims and then withdrawing them when she was scrutinized.....

Has he ever settled out of court that anyone is aware of?
