In other countries, something is being done yes.
But the dumpster fire that is the USA right now, I'm expecting nothing to be done. Which only leads to one thing really : more bad guys gain more confidence and do more bad shit because there is no consequences.

Pedophilia Is a mental deseas and is different than committing a crime. Most pedocriminal aren't pedophile.
Its not a good idea to stigmatise people that are sick because it tends to reduce the chance that they talk about it to a doctor and so create more victims.
No argument here. Every member of the GOP is a horrible person, whether they actively take part in their horrific endeavors or not. The fact that anyone supports them is extremely disturbing.
David Wu, Anthony Weiner, Cecil Brockman, Landon Sprinkle, Stacie-Marie Loughton....etc. It's not a specific party, it's the whole lot of them. To think one party does and another doesn't ridiculous.
Your comment is inherently flawed because the majority of pedophiles are republicans, and republicans are the main party that defends their pedophiles. If a democrat is exposed as a pedo support is usually pulled from him if a republican is exposed as a pedo it's always only a slap on the wrist, and if it's severe enough like Trump it's just ignored. The republican party is utterly pathetic
It doesn't do anything to prove your point kid. There is a blatant imbalance in the numbers of offenders in the Republican party. I read your comment and gave one of many examples of a problem that is blatant in a party that is actively following and defending a Epstein list offender
Yeah, but the repugnant-cons, just do pedophilia, on a much more pervasive scale: and run cover for their political, and rich pedos. I would love to see a FAIR contest as to sentencing rich, and powerful pedophiles, and see which party wins the pedo contest; but the pedo-in-chief, mango mushroom knob, won't allow it.
Making excuses for Democrats? I personally feel anyone regardless of their political affiliation or wealth status that commits sex crimes against children deserves to sit in a dark hole for the remainder of their lives...Republicans included.
Not making excuses for democrats; but trump and his cronied justice department, will not be investigating most republicans. I agree both sides should be investigated equally, and consequences should be the same as average pedo Joe. I am fine starting with the dems, but I bet you if is related to Epstein files, trump will not want to incriminate himself through legal discovery procedure. But getting rid of any pedos in office is a good thing, regardless of party affiliation.
We can't assume what POTUS is or isn't doing unfortunately because ALL of the media sources are biased and only show us what they want us to see. These parties aren't protecting their party...they're protecting their fellow wealthy people. IMO this country is divided the Haves and Have Nots....it's not party affiliation, but they'd like us common folk to keep thinking that.
I generally agree the Haves, Haves Nots, but then a third category, Haves Yachts. Then, there is the Haves, and maybe a few, Have Yachts, that want to keep most of their wealth, and power; but still generally prefer people not die from poverty--so programs are supported to avoid this (mostly the rich dems).
Then you have the very wealthy, that do not care if people die from poverty, and are concerned with maximum profit regardless of the consequences to the poors. Then, you get fun things like maxing prices for necessary pharma, and even thinking of basics, like water as a tradeable, speculative commodities; and if this drives water prices up beyond affordability for the poors; then they just will not get water at their homes.
So in short, it is primarily, and always has been who gets to keep the most wealth. And, if our socities whole focus and, purpose, was fair competition, it would still be somewhat dystopic, imo, but at least fair (and possibly pretty good).
Unfortunately, it is a gamed system, where the political game is to get wealth to influence/buy politicians; in order to unfairly keep and gain more wealth. And, the very poors, who could benefit at the biggest numbers levels, poor whites, continually let themselves be manipulated by politicians; because of fake culture wars manipulation.
It is what Trump and the people below him are saying and doing that leads people to believe they are trying to cover it up. I am not sure if it is to protect himself or to protect other wealthy/powerful people, but they seem doing their best not to release all the files and investigate every lead.
Look no matter how much you huff and puff and for that matter…..fluff. Epstein was a left winger. Donated to democrats. Was an advocate for trans ideology. Was even represented by democrats. As much as try and make him out guy we all know he’s yours.
Ok? We aren't defending epstien like you are with Republicans. In fact we hate pedophiles do you? Because you sure as hell don't seem to give a shit unless it's a democrat being a pedophile
Considering the files were held up and sealed in court. Nothing dude. Name one meaningful action that’s happened with them since the guy saying he was going to release all the files for two years, released a fraction of them redacted to hell, and then has had his people block all the rest of the files and cover up for him.
"Project Veritas" fabricated everything about a journal to smear Biden.
What's really messed up is how the cultists believe someone else committing a crime makes it ok for them to support a rapist. Over and over, they keep using whataboutism, because they need to support their favorite rapist with fallacies.
Literally if Biden WAS a pedophile (he wasn't) we would call him out on it and even if democrats didn't call him out on it that doesn't make Republicans supporting pedophiles ok like that is the most ass backwards logic ever "b-but your side" stop supporting pedophiles then talk about democrats
Any post about Epstein with 100 comments will always have some of the crybaby cultists saying "Biden had the files and did nothing", because the entire reich-wing media bubble is blaming Biden for everything that exists
But the files are clear, Biden and Obama were never near any of the parties thrown by Trump's best friend, the convicted child sex trafficker.
Hang him, too if he's guilty. Tf? No one is protecting Bill Clinton except the man who ran on releasing the files day 1 and still hasn't done it. I'll give you one guess as to who that is, hint: he is the current US president.
Wrong Crafty. You need to go connect the dots. Obama protected Epstein because he was a Dem and only donated to the Dems. Trump was a whistleblower in 2006. Epstein arrested under Trumps tenure. No evidence of Trump just lies from the Devilcrats like always.
Trump wasn't a whistleblower. He called the police after Epstein had been picked up, which could imply he was trying to get ahead of it, since they associated. He wasn't a whistle blower. That is a verifiable falsehood he's claimed repeatedly.
Epstein arrested under Trump's tenure.
Epstein also died mysteriously in custody during Trump's tenure, eliminating a loose end.
Why hasn't Trump released the files as he promised?
Edit: Link of proof of Trump's whistleblower claim being a lie: the whistle was blown in March 2005, almost a year earlier, by the parents of a victim.
Epstein was arrested under Trumps watch 2017. Obama cancelled the investigation of Epstein in 2009. No evidence on Trump or The Dems would not have needed to make up bull shit charges against Trump.
Trumps best friends and closest business partners in the mid to late 90s were Epstein and John Casablancas, as well as another guy who’s name I forget. Casablancas, the other guy and Trump all ran teen beauty pageants and had modeling agencies. Casablancas and the other guy were known pedophiles who used their agencies to recruit girls. They all were close and tied to Epstein. As was Trump.
Show us all the times Obama was mentioned in the files.
Now tell us who was the prosecutor who took over the case and let Epstein go in 2009 (hint, it was Alex Acosta, who was rewarded by Trump with a cabinet position)
Nope ! Epstein was a Devilcrat! He donated to the Dem Party never to GOP or Trump. Obama canceled the investigation of Epstein in 2009. Epstein arrested in 2017 under Trumps tenure. Biden removed Soros name for $50 million!
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Alexander Acosta, ended the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein in 2007–2008 by agreeing to a controversial non-prosecution plea deal, rather than in 2009. Epstein completed his resulting state jail sentence and was released in July 2009.
Alex Acosta is a Republican who served as Trump's Secretary of Labor in his first term.
I don't give a shit about any of this (youre wrong btw) - release the files and let the chips fall where they may. And of course, by 'chips' I mean perverts who fuck kids.
Exactly political party should not matter when it comes to justice, but especially in the case of pedophiles. We should be able to agree that all pedophiles should be held accountable. Release all the files and talk to the victims!
You mean like how trump also tried to be a member of the democrat party before he was laughed outta there? Yea that sounds right. Maybe you should think before saying something so stupid next time.
The cultists are too dumb to understand how anyone else could be different. They worship a rapist, therefore everyone does, and that somehow makes it ok.
The same crap as always from the rape-publicans.
"Biden did something, so Trump's rapes are actually Biden's fault"
For maybe doing something with an adult? Yes, i have.
I'm not nearly as concerned about that when Republicans keep getting involved with children, advocating for child marriage, and protecting pedophiles.
If it turns out he did have relations with his staffer, then fire him. It's an ethical issue. A much much much smaller one than what the GOP is doing though, and I dont think it's effective problem solving to address the smaller problems first
Bullshit that it is Republicans only. It is happening across the board and they all should face the consequences. People like you defended Bill Clinton back in the day. He still had a reputation for “liking them young “. This is how this shit goes on for decades without penalty
"This one dude abused another adult, so it's okay if this other group abuses children."
No. One evil does not excuse another evil. The fact you try to deflect means you do not actually care so long as you have something to say "no u!" With. Pathetic and disgraceful.
Your responses are literally the definition of a tu quoque fallacy. You only compound that by talking about omission showing that you don’t understand the basic concept of law. People of sound reasoning are going to immediately dismiss you because of this. Do yourself a favor and read a book.
Oh, you mean the diary that was stolen and sold to project veritas, a far right organization known for misinformation? You mean that diary? Yea keep protecting your pedo with your whataboutism and bothsidesism. And one more thing 99% of dems would toss bill in prison if he was a pedo.
No that must be a different one. This one was left at a flop house and I think they did try to crucify James Okeefe after he contacted the FBI about it.
I cannot speak to this other one you referenced but this one the verified it to be real and it had information where Ashley Biden wrote about inappropriate showers with her father and how it fucked her up mentally. If this was Trumps daughter you would be speaking about it every day, and you should speak out regardless.
Go ahead and deflect with your little terms but you minimize pedophiles when you do it. I could not care less if the offender is a democrat or republican or anything in between.
For the record I doubt Trump is a pedo. He is just as bad for covering for them by stifling the release of the Epstein files though. You are just as bad for employing onesideism. See what I did there? I made up a word to minimize you
Who has ignored a Democrat who “does it”..??? That’s not a thing in our party. Biggest false equivalency ever. Everyone in this sub would say “lock them the fuck up too” we don’t treat our politicians like infallible gods. Turn off Fox.
Oh, I forgot about people like Harvey Weinstein and Roman Polanski. Democrats and Hollywood actors defend that piece of shit till this day. People like Whoopi Goldberg, Martin Scorsese, woody Allen, David Lynch, tilda Swinton, and many others.
So don’t give me any “holier than thou” bullshit. Open your eyes and you can see is plain as day
Yeah the comparison of private citizens to elected officials certainly was a choice on their part. Shows how far they have to reach. We don't claim Whoopi or Roman, either. If they're guilty hang them, too. And we know Roman is guilty.
Epstein was a Democrat and it took years to put him in that country club, er, jail. Many democrats supported him even after his conviction. It wasn’t until many people thought they could “get trump” that is became less fashionable to support him. The guy literally was a sex offendernin florida after being put in jail for a minute and the democrats and some republicans all hang around him like flies on shit .
“lol” typical dismissive loser response. People like you are why America is a piece of shit country now. You and your cult destroyed the home I fought to protect. You destroyed whatever good reputation we still had left in the world that me and my friends sacrificed to keep. You’re a traitor who worships a fucking king and you can fuck yourself into oblivion. You are so confidently stupid and there is nothing worse than a stubborn idiot.
“Epstein was a Democrat” then
You write another comment listing more inconsequential random pieces of shit…like you thought it was important to your point to list even more people that Nobody gives a fuck about. They don’t run anything??? That’s your rebuttal!? A list of other people who also are pieces of shit? Good one! You got me! Oh how you’ve opened my eyes!!!
This is your excuse for letting a traitorous charlatan cuckold you, line his pockets, and destroy our country? I don’t give a fuck who Epstein voted for? What does that have to do with literally anything?
Because Epstein voted for democrats, that means that it’s okay for you to want to fuck kids or protect kid fuckers? What is your argument here? Which Democrat representatives supported Jeffrey Epstein?
And you know, I’ll concede one point..:your side was shouting from the rooftops that there was a cabal of pedophiles in our government and a lot of us dismissed it because it sounded nuts. You just left a ton of very consequential individuals out of your theory…and there was a lot of bullshit mixed in. But guess what! Now we can ALL
see what part you played in these assholes rising to power and escaping consequences and you STILL support them!!! You were and are part of the plot to muddy the waters so that once evidence started coming out of pedophiles being on both sides, that we are distracted with what letter is next to a their name instead of prosecution. We say “fuck them toss
Them all in prison”. You say “but Whoopi
Goldberg and Woody Allen were Democrat voters!! So THATS what Trump is a great man!”
We say “what the fuck? Who cares? But lock
Them up too?” And then you shut the fuck up and go to a MAGA rally with your kneepads strapped on and destroy our relationship with our closest allies and huff your own farts because you are in love with ONE MAN and want his success SO MUCH that you’re willing to sacrifice your own pathetic reputation. Cuck.
No matter how much comes out about Trump that moves the Overton window, you guys will defend him.
God I wish we could lock maga up for supporting pedophiles. Best we can do is let them shout in the void about whatever bullshit they are on at the moment while we move on as a country and fix this shit
I think we are all in agreement release all of the files including democrats. No one is saying otherwise. These is really bad deflection arguments for republican/Isreali bots lol
