particularly as it remains completely unconfirmed ... (and, then, even if it were .. )

Reid was correct - we don't know anything about this.

There would be so many questions about this.
Where was Secret Service?
Did they witness him commit this crime?
Certain professions have a LEGAL duty to report abuse of minors - Healthcare providers, Teachers, Law enforcement. SS is federal law enforcement. I imagine that Mandated reporting applies to them.

Until there is credible reporting, I think this should be left alone.

And I'm still dubious, but if it is they're going to have to cut him loose to try to save as many house seats and senate seats as possible. What's being rumored is not Billy bush, not e Jean carroll. As monstrous as all those things are, the big difference here (if true) is recency. This JUST happened. In this campaign. Maybe this month. There's no "locker room talk," no "witch hunt." He's done if this is true. They will try to spin it as AI (see Kirk, C. and Posobiec, J) but this will be the end of him politically if verified. And I'm as burnt out on Fitzmases as the rest of you.

They aren't the ones who elect him. It's working class, disengaged type voters who show up because he represents a bomb dropped on the system that's screwed them for years. Wrong-headed but true. People will understand this clearly if it's what it's purported to be.

To run away from him. They'll try if it's true. Might not work but they'll try.

some papers released by a CA court regarding complaints made against Epstein. Trump was mentioned in the papers as being present and participating. A young woman twice filed complaints against Trump over it and both times later withdrew her complaints.

The current rumors are about recent Trump behavior during the current campaign.

Do try to keep the rumors straight.

I don't have to keep my fucking rumors straight.

I'll believe this BS about a groper tape when I see it. But you go ahead and keep track of all your rumors since you think you're so good at that.
