      I mean, I’d expect one to face a little more than “scrutiny,” but here we are.

    Just one? There’s gotta be more. Trump doesn’t strike me as the type of fella that would stop after only raping one 13 year old.

    Does he actually, though? Haven’t really seen this mentioned at all recently from any reputable news source or the Harris campaign.

        Snopes provides some good information about why the claim is suspicious, but there are also stories by Vox & MSM that go into more detail. Having proof Trump is a pedo obviously helps Democrats, but spreading misinformation because you want to believe it doesn’t. Based on everything I’ve read I think it is a fake claim, but then again I still think Trump is terrible & would never vote for him.

          Isn’t trump a pedo for sure though? He’s been to Epstein island how many times?

            The only proof I needed were his disgusting comments about his own daughter.

          It doesn’t help dems. maga doesn’t give a fuck. He could kill someone while raping a kid in broad daylight on camera and they’d still support him. The only this it might do is help put him in jail AND EVEN THAT is spurious. Which is fucking insane.

          Honestly don’t care for it as ammunition against him I was always just angry about the idea of it as a whole. If he did and if he didn’t couldn’t change my opinion of his character as a whole. But he was always chummy with Epstein, is listed as doe whatever # and every single person who took that plane is complacent in something deep enough for jail time.

          Yes, unsubstantiated means “no evidence.”

          As the saying goes, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

            “…so really, who’s to say they’re not eating cats? After all, absence of evidence is not…”
