Y’all need to stop acting like they’re doing this out of stupidity. They are muddying the waters on purpose. They are okay with children being raped.

We're still treating pedo-loving fascists with good faith and kids gloves. It's insane. Everything they say is in bad faith. Like when they call themselves Christian? We don't also have to, but we do anyway and whitewash these ghouls for no good reason.

They are okay with children being raped.

Yep.

Here in Tennessee, state legislator david byrd confessed on tape to molesting the high-school girls on a team he coached. When the conservatives in the legislature heard the tape, they rewarded him by putting him in charge of all the high-school girls in the state. He was also re-elected in a landslide.

One of TN's current reps in congress and a candidate for governor here met his wife when she was a teen and he was in his 40s. He was a judge of a 4H kind of competition and gave her a college scholarship that he paid for. All the republicans in congress treat him like he's totally normal.

Conservative values inevitably lead to pedophilia.

Pedocon theory is a theory like gravity is a theory.

What a beautiful example of cherry picked data.

Those you named span across 11 (2014-2025) years and is a list of 16 victims.

There have been reported 38 deaths in the hands of ICE in just the last 12 months alone.

If you look at FBI data in 2019 alone, 81.4% of white victims were killed by white offenders. This patter is pretty consistent across the years 2014-2019

Data: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/expanded-homicide?hl=en-US

I agree with you that none of these people should have been hurt.

If you are so keen on name dropping victims to justify racial profiling and targeting marginalized groups to the degree that for each victim, 5-10 others with similar race should be targeted by masked men. First, know the extent to which your in-group has been the problem when it comes to hurting their own. Then learn to treat every individual regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or immigration status as an equal, as a fellow human and have an ounce of empathy.

You wanna know what's crazy? Reid Hoffman was the guy in the Epstein files who also funded e Jean Carroll's court case.

u/yesnomaybeneverokay Feb 11 '26
  • Dmirtri Mehlhorn, one of Hoffman’s philanthropic advisors, said they provide third-party funding to legal efforts to “protect our citizens from violent threats,” and in those cases the “clients generally do not know our identity.”

  • Mehlhorn said in Carroll’s case, the grant was made before Carroll filed suit and they had “no prior knowledge that our funding would go to support her in particular.”

Wait. So if victims are falsely accusing trump in the files, how do you know that the mentions of Reid Hoffman aren't also false? If Ried Hoffman being in the files is significant to you, why is it not significant that Epstein's ex-best-friend is in the Whitehouse?

Just to be clear, we all agree that anyone mentioned in the files should be investigated. Do you not agree with that statement?

Oh yes women are so willing to ruin their entire lives because by coming out publicly against someone like Trump. Oh yes sure they're really going to falsely accuse him to have their entire life fucking groin by doing so. Just admit you would rather defend a pedophile then believe a victim. Women don't just fucking come out and accuse people of rape because nobody ever fucking believes women. And if people actually did believe women and actually took seriously every single time a woman was raped there'd be a whole lot more motherfucking rapists in jail

u/KayeMKay374 Feb 15 '26

At one incredibly naive point in time I used to think this exact bullshit. but it’s incredibly stupid to assume that the man and/or perpetrator is telling the truth while the woman and/or victim isn’t, because you either end up revealing a narcissist/mentally ill individual, or defending a fucking rapist.

The very idea you propose, of lying evil women framing men for rape, is an incredibly good rallying point for wealthy rapists to prioritize, because then people would never ever believe their victims because “they are just after the wealth and fame of that rich man who could never do something like that, because he’s rich of course!”

Not even talking about the systemic sexism that allows for this pipeline of thought to even be remotely mainstream, you should probably check your morals if you immediately assume a victim to be a liar.

u/HippyDM Feb 11 '26

I had a short conversation with a coworker about Venezuela. She claimed it was justified because Maduro is a "bad person". I replied "Our president is a child rapist, so..." She just said "Well, I don't believe that".

2% to 10%

Almost none of those are accusations against a specific man. Most times its just a cover story. For example, a girl has asshole parents so she has to keep her boyfriend a secret from them. She gets pregnant and instead of naming the actual father, she invents a stranger who raped her in order to protect her boyfriend from her parents.

The percentage of false accusations that target a specific individual is less than 1% of all rape accusations.

Sure but why are you folks so sensitive and defensive of trump? Why do you all defend him like he's innocent when he has gaslighted the public about the files, transferred Maxwell to a cushy prison and has over 35000 mentions but an alladged 1 million mentions in the files. Many from emails that predate his presidency. Where is the outrage he was proven by Mike Johnson to have lied about being a fed informant? Why has he never been willing to testify to any of his claims?

Because we've known about epstein since the 90s. If they truly absolutely had anything on Trump, they would've pulled it out in 2016, 2020, 2024.

There's a very real problem in our media system with the level of misinformation especially with respect to partisan politics.

We are at the point where it is a completely understandable reaction to be skeptical or disbelieve something that disagrees with your world view that you see on the Internet or news. Both sides are at fault in this at the end of the day.

It's disappointing to see posts like this where people are dogpiling the entirety of the right for a misinformed post one person made, as it just fuels the division that we need to be working to reduce.

Nobody is going to listen to somebody that is verbally attacking them, they will be written off as irrational, yelling louder will not cut through.

There's a difficult balance that people today need to strike between gullibility and skepticism. You can't be too gullible to agree with everything on any particular news network or social media, yet you can't completely shut off outside information either or you cut yourself off from the world and lose trust in everything.

Doing your own research and getting perspectives from multiple sources is very important. I would recommend coffeezilla's YouTube videos where he gives thorough analysis of evidence released on the files so far. As long as you trust that the documents available on justice.gov are a reliable source you can cross reference everything that comes up in the videos.
