I came in and it turned off!

Like I said in his first administration: There are in fact differences between death camps and lethally neglectful detention camps. In some contexts, those differences are actually important. But when your defense of a politician hinges on splitting that particular hair, that's a sign that it's time for an "are we the baddies" check.

Any adult who looks at a teenager and doesn't see a kid is suspicious as hell.

I think the point is constantly being missed here although you did deal with it to an extent. The whole thing is about selfish sociopaths abusing people's BOUNDARIES for their own pleasure. This is the bit they don't 'get', oh, well you know, men can be a bit aggressive and pushy provided they only stick to people above a certain age. Etc. NO. This is about, you will NOT do something to ANYONE who doesn't want you to. This is a foreign notion to some people and it's also the reason White Right Wing hates 'Woke' because it's the very core of what Woke is. Woke is about Rights and Boundaries and that's why they don't like it.

Fifteen year old girls, once again, reminded that they don't matter to so so so many people.

Traumatizing

What gets ignored in the middle aged men banging teenagers is or is not pedophilia is the fact there’s probably only a one way attraction, where the middle aged man is attracted to the teenager, while the teenager is not attracted to the man.

Shit, when was a teenager 30 looked too old to be interested in.

Certainly not the only thing that gets ignored

But a start

MAGAts are already past the splitting hairs part. I've heard at least one of them on a call in asking the host why raping children is wrong. and then getting angry and demanding an instant answer. Meanwhile, the interviewer was too shocked to be able to immediately give a good answer. How can you explain to a sociopath who doesn't know that it's wrong to rape kids WHY it's wrong? The MAGAt probably thought his failure to receive an instant answer was proof that child rape is just fine, or at least when a conservative does it.

Rape is wrong. Honestly, if the victim is 5, 15, or 51, it’s wrong. That’s not a hard concept to grasp.

Maybe for normal people, but conservatives (especially the religious ones) will never understand.

Rewatched the conversation and he specifically avoided saying the word, but also made it clear he was perfectly fine with it. It was someone "debating" Dean Withers. Went kind of like this (D for Dean, M for MAGAt/molester/moron/monster).

m: Why is it wrong he [Cheeto Chomo] did those things?

d: Are you asking me why it's wrong to rape children?

m: Yes, I need you to tell me why it's wrong in your eyes to do that.

d: To rape children?

m: Yes. Do you need me to repeat it? Can you not hear me? Do you have too many cocks in your ears? (it really sound like "cocks" to me)

d: [mouth open in shock]

m: Why is it wrong? Is that too hard of a question?

I seriously doubt that most people who are not professionals in mental health have ever heard or seen the words hebephile and ephebophile. Also, I believe that for at least some pedophiles (using pedophile as the umbrella word), as their own age goes up, the age of their targets goes down. Now that's scary.

Now that you all are gone.

I was raped as a teenager by a guy in his 40s. I was no virgin. I was more mad than anything else.

I had been sexually harassed and of course thought I could handle it, if it ever happened.

The motherfucker got me from behind.

This was in 72. I worked through it long ago, but this shit is too much.

Do we really know that though?

Fox News is only mentioning Democrats in the files.

gene108's avatar

I assume every client not a Democrat will be redacted. There’s no way Bondi releases anything mentioning Trump.

Some of these folks are tying themselves in knots so hard you can hear the vertebrae popping from space.

The moment you watch grown adults start grading child rape on a curve, you know the rot isn’t political anymore. It’s spiritual. A soul that still remembers its own dignity doesn’t quibble over whether the victim was eight or fifteen. Only people trying to launder their own heroes talk like that.

THE ROT WAS NEVER POLITICAL

THE ROT - GINGRICH, RAYGUN, TRAMP, BANNON, MILLER, HOGSBREATH, GNOME - REMAINS CONFEDERATE

See above. Never mind the age; this is a way of psychologist the rape away.

So no one's gonna link to the Gianmarco Soresi bit? Has that become passe'?

Be the link poster you want to see in the world.

The View is a group show, no? So why am I not hearing of any of her co-hosts responding to this with "JESUS FRIED CHRIST, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? Do you even HEAR yourself?"

Now, I do not watch The View, and have not heard anything about this particular episode except what Megyn herself said. So I would be very interested in the other women's reactions, what they said or WHY they didn't say anything, why there's been no reaction from the production company or the network or the cast or even Megyn herself. Is everyone involved just hoping we'll forget all about this after Thanksgiving?

Megyn Kelly is not on The View and she made her comments on her podcast.
