One small way to try to re-establish social trust would be to transparently disclose *in this very column* that you hung out with Jeffrey Epstein.

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

No words.

Pretty much all my female friends have been assaulted at one point or another; at school, in the forces, just on a night out.

It wasn't immigrants doing those things because, frankly, you didn't get many of them in rural Yorkshire.

It was men.

Fucking hell
Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

Here is a gift link to the NYT Trump Epstein article that has explosive new claims.

The piece briefly touches on 14-year-old Jane Doe, who says Epstein brought her to meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago. I wrote about that last month (link below.)

Want to understand the federal deficit...look at US overspending for defense for the past, oh, 80 years. It has always...always...always...been excessive. Indefensible.
The Senate votes 77-20 to pass the national defense authorization act, or NDAA, increasing the annual U.S. military budget to $900 billion.

This now goes to Trump's desk to become law, having already passed the House.
