He's one wanna be slick snake of a cold-blooded murderer so when he goofs he makes the perfect spoof. Wish it knocked the hot air out of him permanently.

"DINO" has been around for a while now. Joe Manchin is one. Do you realize that DINO stands for "Democrat In Name Only," just as RINO stands for (wait for it) "Republican In Name Only"? P.S. My two senators, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, are both in their 70s, and I'm fine with them sticking around. I'm not a fan of my rep, Bill Keating, who's 73, but it has nothing to do with his age.

This splitting hairs about whether a victim was male female, raped by a priest or an old rich businessman, 8, 14 or 17 years old is beyond infuriating. Because all of these scenarios have one thing in common. They’re ALL FUCKING ILLEGAL

Denise Donaldson's avatar

And they all involve HUMAN trafficking.

Expand full comment
Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Or if not "trafficking"(because that word seems to be elastic and I frequently scratch my head about what the user even means), it's still RAPE, if the victim was coerced, tricked, lied to or unwilling.

Expand full comment
Linda Weide's avatar

Trafficking means there was some commercial gain. Sexual assault can include things other than penetration. My friend told me that the priest at his school growing up used to make them feel his penis under the robes. That is sexual assault, even if it is not rape. It is wide and varied, and I like molestation as a word, because it is a sexual taking advantage of.

Expand full comment
Denise Donaldson's avatar

By, "trafficking," I mean taking a person from one place to another, either by coercion or deception, for the benefit of third parties. It seems to me that, by flying females of any age to an island and staging orgies with multiple male participants, under the guise of, say, offering modeling contracts, Epstein was a trafficker.

But yes, "rape" also applies.

Linda Weide's avatar

As a victim myself, of pedophilia proper at the age of 5, I can tell you that it does not always involve trafficking. However, it is too often, and trafficking terrifies me. When my Gen Z daughter started dating a millennial, because she finds too many Gen Z men "don't treat women well", I was worried he was going to traffic her and I told her that. He has had to prove that he is not.

Expand full comment
Denise Donaldson's avatar

I was referring strictly to Epstein. And given his financial wheeling and dealing, I have no doubt there was commercial gain involved.

Expand full comment
Linda Weide's avatar

Of course. He was also trafficking them to politicians to get Kompromot on them, so he understood they were underage. That was the whole point. Also, if it is his proclivity, he can pretend it is fine because everyone else is doing it.

My 20-year-old daughter was parsing these things with me. She said that she feels that there should be a different term for someone who is attracted to girls post puberty than those pre-puberty. I was glad to share the explanation Jeff posted the other day. I was sexually assaulted at 5 by my best friend's father when I went to their house. That is until my parents found out by an inadvertent comment on my part. Then they all disappeared from my life.

CroneEver's avatar

I understand. I was six and the college aged son of the couple my parents played bridge with on Saturday nights came with them one time and joined me in the den. I was watching television, and after a short while, he tried to assault me. Thankfully, instead of freezing, I jumped up and ran to tell my mother. Huge fight followed, his parents said I was a liar, and they never socialized again. And my father put a fence up around our house.

You don't know that. She easily could have been a victim of sexual assault, and just not come forward the way Mace did. If you think about the rape statistics in this country, it's probable that she experienced it. No one needs to give her a break, certainly, but don't pretend to know what she or Boebert may have experienced, or at what age it may have happened. There's a reason they're sticking to their guns on this and defying trump, and it may not be political at all.

I do not need you to explain sexual assault statistics to me. Take a little of your own advice and realize that any woman you're talking to might know those stats very damn well. Read her quote again: "I *****NOW***** have a small understanding". NOW. Meaning now that people are sending her threats. Not her whole life. Not for many years. NOW that something NOWHERE NEAR as awful and dangerous as what those victims went through, NOW she says she has a "small understanding".

In this "but is it ACTUALLY TECHNICALLY pedophilia" convo, it's also important to remember that many teen girls at 15 or 16 look younger than their age. Some girls at those ages might be able to dress up and pass for older, but most cannot, and many can easily pass for younger. I know when I was 15, you could have absolutely mistaken me for being 12. So this notion that they're trying to push, that it's not attraction to children since 15 year olds are post-pubescent, is just utter tripe and bullshit.
