There's something special with Trump and all his sexual assault and pedophile friends.

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and hide yo husband, cause Trump gonna be pardoning all the rapists and pedos out here.

The right once again thinking of the children

"Honey, we have to move."

"Why? The kids like it here, and they've settled in nicely at school."

"A MAGA is moving in next door."

"Well, we can't allow him around the kids. Where do you want to move to?"

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh now, not all MAGA are pedophiles. Some are just useful idiots for the pedophiles.

None of them are appropriate to have around children.

[–] Jikiya@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

So, Diddy's made a donation to Donny's PAC. That's the way it's worked with so many other pardons anyway, naked corruption.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is all just theatre so we don't talk about his handlers actively stripping away every single one of our rights. We’re abandoning science, medicine, education, and any level of civil rights or liberty, we’re actively saying good ye to the internet and any privacy rights we once had, but by all means be pissed off at this obvious fucking political theatre.

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

The one silver lining is that realizing Trump is a pedo is the only way MAGAts can understand their buyer's regret. They're really mad about the economy being actively ruined, but the only way that can understand it is through their conspiratorial lens. It's been well known that Trump was Epstein's bff this entire time, but only when Trump is not delivering for them do they actually care.

Liberals paying so much attention to this is annoying though. As I've pointed out before, Trump is actively legalizing torture of immigrant kids, while people here are worrying about the kids he hurt in the past. Of course we should make him pay, but we need to worry about his current murdering, looting, and pillaging a lot more.

Add pardons for Keith Raniere, R Kelly and Andrew Tate and there might be enough cover to get away with Maxwell. "I don't have a favorite sex trafficker, we're taking care of all of it. I don't play favorites" - trump, likely.

Mallards are notorious for doing a lot of rape. So I guess Donald is a duck.

That proves that he has been on epstein and diddy parties. Bro is pardoning his front man

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Pardons should be reserved solely for crimes against the state or crimes committed in service to eh state. Crimes against individuals by other individuals should not be pardonable.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Normally the function of pardoning was self-regulating in that the media would exscoriate any President who did it in such an abusive way and the electorate would punish them and their party accordingly at the ballot box.

But corruption has become normalized and media has been completely hijacked by billionaires that reality isn't so clear cut as it once was.

Well, I dunno. Pardons are good when the justice system fails and locks up innocent people for decades. The burden of proof on appeals is set so high that the appeals system is broken in and of itself. Think about all the racially motivated prosecutions throughout the years, the unjustly prosecuted anarchists, the bribed juries, the kangaroo court shenanigans, etc. How many stories have we heard of cops badgering the wrong person for dozens of hours in interrogation until they got false confessions? All because cops’ egos are so absurd that they refuse to admit they might have come to the wrong conclusions with incomplete information. I’m all for pardons in crimes against individuals. The problems isn’t in the case structure, it’s in the person doling out the pardons.

"I'm putting together a team. The best team. The best people--look, there's a lot of, shall we say, bad folks. Can I say bad folks? The woke don't like that too much, you can't say anything nowadays, but if they had it their way, I'd just say that I disagree, but I don't just disagree, they're bad folks with bad ideas and they're very low IQ. The sleepy Joe Biden people were just so incompetent and they left me with nothing and it's horrible, and they should be arrested for what they've done, and I'm gonna look into it. But with these South Park, have you seen this? It's unbelievable, but the left got to them and now they don't do Obama anymore, and they make things up about me, and it's actually not small, not even, like, it's really quite large, but you won't hear that because I'm very humble, but I have to tell you that I've heard many girls say that it's not small, and more than they want, and not just from the very young and small girls either, but I shouldn't talk about that. My lawyers say 'Sir! Sir! Don't talk about the young girls!' but I have a very popular, they can't keep their hands off me, and what am I supposed to say? 'No'? 'Wait until you're 16, 17, 18'? There's no, and it's very unfair how they're treating me, and it never would've happened to any other president. The Clintons were very bad people, both of them, and they don't even hide it, but it's always me that gets attacked by the fake news media, and I'll never get any credit for the deals...
But which one are you? Kanye or R Kelly? Because I want you both, you could really help me out with the blacks, and I could really help you with the pardon. And perhaps there could be a little get together at the southern white house, and we could talk about things and meet some young girls together, and it's not gay so long as the balls don't touch, they say. Many people say that."

Is Diddy a pedo? I know he's an absurdly prolific rapist, but I'd only heard of his adult victims.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Once you reach a certain wealth, Epstein gives you a call and there is apparently not many of these pigs that can resist fucking kids

[–] bilb@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Is pedophilia really that prevalent? If Epstein called me and was like "bilb I have a smoking hot 14 year old ready for you" I would not be enticed.

Then again I'm gay and attracted to the more hairy and old type of man

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

To start, I'm not certain as I'm also gay and like my women more womanly than youthful. But I think a part of it is that yourhfulness is sexually prized fo the point you could call it fetishized in our society, especially in women. The rich, famous, and powerful therefore have access to a lot of young women in the 18-20something range. And I think a decent chunk of them wind up in groups of peers pursuing these young women and start pushing the age down bit by bit. And there's the taboo and boundary pushing.

I wouldn't be surprised if they found 14 year olds more exciting because it's wrong and because they can. Combes, Trump, epstein, and the like have always struck me as similar to those people who can't stop cheating but would never open their relationship unless their partner doesn't want it. The sort who'd beat their partner but only without consent. They need to push boundaries and take more than they give. Sexually violating people who are barely post pubescent is just a taboo that they've eased their way into breaking.

[–] scintilla@preferred.social 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the fucked up part is that they aren't really "true" pedophiles. I think it's simply the power and being able to get away with something so henious that they are into. The Trump letter to Epstein reinforced this belief for me.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, some of them definitely are. There were girls as young as 13 involved.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 3 points 22 hours ago

Yeah but that's not what they meant, I think what they were saying with "true paedophiles" are people fixated by diddling kids, that don't have money to do whatever they want.

It'm also questioning it tbh, because it's always a power thing, fetishes revolving around forbidden topics entice in their own way and are fine with consenting adults and adequate safety, but the power and control fixations involved in forcing kids are unique ethically.

They're onto something about the ultra-rich that I was trying to understand and discuss that it seems like a disproportionate amount take the chance to fuck a minor like groupes or Epstein and I don't think I could live with something like that or even be near someone that would.

Money and fame does strange things with people is my only idea for an answer

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't recall the word and I'm not about to google it, but I suspect they are generally not "pedophiles" but that thing that refers to post-puberty but still underage. Like the physical attributes of sexual maturity with the power dynamics of a child.

They might even go for plausible deniability. Again, haven't researched too hard but I wouldn't be surprised if some satisfied Epstein customers never actually asked or were told the specific ages and could at least claim they thought they were 18 or 19 or something.

I do expect the Epstein "list" to be potentially messy. If there's one thing that seemed obvious is that he collected celebrity contact info like trophies. If there's a "list" in practice, I hope it's anchored in evidence and I hope Epstein was big on making sure he had blackmail fodder. If it's just contacts he managed to get, that would be a rough time for everyone all around.

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the word you're looking for is Hebephilia.

Regardless of semantics, it's all deplorable.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

No arguments about it being deplorable, just that it is different and some things can happen in that case but not pedophelia, like someone claiming to be oblivious to the underage nature of the victim. It can strain credibility, but if you actually declare 18 as arbitrarily 'good' then after puberty some people have a chance at superficially passing, but no one could possibly believe that about a pre-teen. Of course 18 should be considered pretty deplorable if you are over 22 or so, but as it stands with things...

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

He's the lead singer and front man for a new band called the PedoCons, and he'll pardon Diddy in exchange for a record deal.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He already has towers with his logo on them...

pedophile avengers, the Winter rapist, 2nd installment: pedophile avengers, epstein list civil war, finally: Pedophile avengers, endgame where all Pedophiles try to throw each other under the bus to save themselves.

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's totally off the rails - releasing criminals and rapists. I don't know if true but I just read he is spending a stupid amount to build a gold plated ballroom in the white house? All while openly screwing the public and tariff taxing the American people and bragging about it on an official wh post to the tune of over 150bn. People en masse being dissapeared ? We're cooked.

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Is this a baseless fear:

What if the conservative groups have thought to make sexual crimes unpunishable for men, and thus they have created a plan to increase the risk of a woman without the protection of a male.

( I mean this in the eye of the public, not in the reality of what our biological Make up is. )

As a kind of, fix for the male loneliness epidemic. Kind of reinforcing the need for a patriarchal structure.
