That’s one the many problems with today’s media. They still invite this pig on their panels like he’s an outside observer when he’s neck deep in the problem.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

In which a white cop sticks his elbows out while walking the wrong way to assault Black men just doing their fucking job, so he can act like an aggrieved victim and maybe start some shit because he's a racist piece of shit on a resting state power trip. America.

The actual thing that will "dismantle" patriarchy is more or this, more intensely and committed:
MORE MEN SPEAKING ON IT.
Speaking against predators, and predatorial behavior.
More men clocking it, calling it out and stomping it out.
It will ALWAYS be on men to correct other men's behavior.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

The bane of my existence for years at this point: MSM & Dems engaging with & meeting lies, obfuscations, endless sophistry / circular arguments w/attempts at goodfaith public square arguments over supposed data/policy. Just call out the lie & liars themselves. It’s not about policy.

The big question for the future is:
Do we join the ICC and hand everyone including Bondi over to The Hague, or do we do a Nuremberg-style set of post-fascist trials here in the US?
It’s one or the other

One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

Not for nothing, this is one reason why we say "pregnant patient" instead of "woman." It's not just for non-binary inclusion.
In addition to the fact that it's very much the power imbalance and legal responsibility to protect them that makes them children, it's also disturbing that so many people are willingly like "listen, 15 year olds are hot, and that's a fact." They are children. They look like children.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Of course there's a difference, and it's reflected in many state laws.
But . . . that isn't the point. Middle-aged men coercing sexually mature but underage girls into sex is still illegal, exploitative, and vile. "But they weren't 8-year-olds!" is a really weird thing to say.
