own daughter, there're pictures of that, walked in on her nude, by her own testimony, and agreed on Stern's show she's a"hot piece of a----" who he'd marry if he could.

So this won't make a bit of difference to his maga devotees. His hypocritical evangelistic hoard will speak of forgiveness, they'll call it a lie and will double down on their own festering hate and malice in response.

It's "difficult" to believe that an "ajudicated" rapist and a man with more than 20 credible allegations of intentional "sexual assault" crimes/torts would engage in criminal pedophilia conduct/acts with an underage girl. I'm pretty sure that Blovanka. when questioned under oath, can point on a doll in a courtroom where Daddy improperly touched her.

Wed Oct 23, 2024, 08:23 PM

The recidivism rate is huge. Reoffending for a pedophile is just a way of life.

I always knew Trump was a pedo. You can just tell the way he acts around children, his daughter, sons and of course all the allegations. Him being BFFs with Epstein and flying around on Epstein's plane is just icing on the cake the pedophile uses to lure the kid.

I bet he doesn't stick to just raping little girls either. Pedos, may have a type, but a lot of them will take any child that's not protected boy or girl. It's all about the abuse, power, control and causing pain. It's not about the sex.

I bet his children had it really rough. I'm surprised they didn't murder him when they grew up, like the Mendez brothers did.

I would never sit on a video like this and wait to use it as an October surprise. And if true and I was that girl I would feel violated having the video released to the public. If she was indeed victimized, is it not victimizing her again to release the video? Even if her face is blurred out… it just doesn’t sit right with me.

Because if we run with this and it turns out to be bullshit, its going to back fire on us.

Could be a ploy to distract from an actual story that could be coming or is one that they hope the media will run with, get shown its fake, thereby ruining the media's credibility and distracting the everyone's attention in the last 2 weeks of the campaign.

I worry that, if Trump is exposed as a pedophile, his supporters won’t change their minds about him. They will change their minds about pedophilia. Their devotion is that great.

And all of a sudden there’s ’dump, groping a 12 year old. And the very next thing they did was stop filming, and move to intervene.

In absence of the evidence, it’s kind of useless to speculate.

113. What About His Secret Service People?....

Wouldn't they be around protecting him? Would they have a role in trying to stop him from doing this - if only to prevent him from making this mistake and getting in more trouble? Wouldn't they want to protect the 12y/o girl as well?

And what always bothered me about this story is that it happened at a donor event.

That too makes me suspect.

Tr**p would be highly visible to the attendees at this event. All eyes (or at least many eyes) would be on him. Is he really that stupid to try an grope a 12y/o girl at such an event.

I'd be very careful about blowing this thing out of proportion - without video confirmation and assurances that it wasn't AI produced.

This is too close to Nov 5th and again I'm suspect that it is a Repug or Campaign trap/dirty trick - by the Tr**p people to embarrass Harris and the Dems - an October Surprise.

And that's the problem with posting all sorts of posts about things like this.

Yuck!
