There is no reason why this story can not be discussed like any other news story. The tone towards the OP (and from the OP) needs to be toned down. Please keep the posts about the story itself. If that proves to be too difficult there is already an active Pit thread on the subject.

The very fact that, there is a Pit Thread on a current event News Story is bizarre.
What’s “bizarre” about it? It happens all the time, when a poster considers some aspect of a current-event news story to be outrageous, appalling or otherwise Pittable.
For a controversial and/or highly partisan story I would be more surprised if there wasn’t one.
I’m never going to find out what the debate was going to be, am I ?
Just to state the subtext: Even if it’s proven that Bill Clinton is a pedophile, it wouldn’t “CANCEL” the Democratic Party and it wouldn’t make WALKAWAY come true and it wouldn’t discredit a single thing the Democrats say about the Republicans except in the minds of people who already think Democrats are Satanic Pedophiles who extract adrenochrome from living babies in pizza parlor basements which don’t exist.
So shouting “HEY! HEY! LOOK OVER THERE! LOOK OVER THERE NOW! DO IT! NOW!” isn’t going to work when Jeffy rolls over to avoid an even longer prison sentence.
The Onion is having a field day. Here are 3 headlines:
Frustrated Subway Marketers Scrap $150 Million Jeffrey Epstein Ad Campaign
Jeffrey Epstein Swears He Didn’t Know Sex-Trafficking Ring Was Underage
Defense Attorneys Vow To Present Irrefutable Evidence Proving Jeffrey Epstein Billionaire

Does anyone else find it weird that Tempe Jeff is trying to link Epstein with Clinton but completely ignores the Epstein-Trump connection? I mean, even IF Clinton were a child sex predator, that wouldn’t lessen the fact that Epstein and Trump seem to be child sexual predators too.
Is Temp Jeff’s invoking Clinton into this mess somehow supposed to magically absolve Epstein and Trump?
And, Tempe Jeff, I can’t find your Epstein flight manifest link. Who else is on the manifests?
Finally, here’s a link to a very strange video of a police walk-through of one of Epstein’s homes. This home has an unusually large number of photos and painting of women’s backsides and the upstairs looks like a whorehouse; there 5 or six bedrooms upstairs with private (or shared) bathrooms, each room containing a hung-and-ready-to-use bathrobe, and each bathroom contains a weirdly large number of shampoo choices for a normal home. Why would Epstein need so many “guest rooms” in such an average-for-a-billionaire home?

[/QUOTE]Because it is indeed actually a whorehouse?
(albeit a whorehouse without a cash register that caters to rich, elite pedophile/hebephile power brokers, men like William Jefferson Clinton and Donald John Trump)
… because I thought the wrong word was used for a little while, too.
I really hope that we are at the reckoning of something grand - there is clearly a lifestyle enjoyed by the super elite that, even at its most mundane, is patently indulgent and hedonistic. They craft laws to protect their power, they are egregiously lazy, they demand constant feting, and - when they are so inclined - they use and abuse other people without remorse or consequences.
We have a corrupt plutocrat in charge. Perhaps in reaction, we might finally get a progressive government that starts treating this top 1/10 of 1% fairly. We considered recently how they buy their kids’ way into college - whether criminal or otherwise. Now, we’re examining how they can collect legions of victims in pursuit of their own pleasure.
If it finally comes out that all of these elites - whether politicians like Clinton or Trump, or merely an average NFL owner - are pigs and cheats, then I’m delighted. Our country will be better off in the end.
So current Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta is under scrutiny for the extremely lenient deal he cut for Epstein years ago on child sex trafficking charges. Clearly the right thing for him to do right now is to propose 80% funding cuts for the government agency that combats child sex trafficking.
Perhaps he has insider knowledge that with Epstein in custody, child sex trafficking is going to fall by 80%
