"does not plan to allow votes on any measures related to the Jeffrey Epstein"

House Republicans are protecting Trump because they know Trump is a Pedophile.

And I don't think there's a Republican among us who can deny it.

Nothing says "I'm innocent" like hiding the evidence that would exonerate him.

Again.

House Republicans are protecting Trump because they know Trump is a Pedophile.

I am going to argue that a lot of the "leaders" of industry and probably a good many members of Congress are in those files as well.

Don't forget that a lot of the raping of children was done at ----------- as well as Epstein's island.

Treasury has files on over 4,000 money transfers into Epsteins bank accounts totaling over $1.5 billion.

These people are corrupt, and they are cowards.

A fish rots from the head, and that is Donald Trump.

The only good thing about this is that the behavior of both Trump and the GOP scream guilt; make it obvious.

Donald Trump is a monster that monstrous people are protecting.

That includes you, BELLRINGER.

In a few weeks, after they get back from being lazy and unproductive leeches, someone will bring it up, s*^%bag Repubs will say "that again? That's old news" and morons like boaz, bellringer et al will dutifully repeat it and *poof* the issue will just disappear.

Remember when Republicans used to pretend they were against pedophilia and claimed every single teacher in America was grooming children.

Then they found out Trump's a pedophile, and l decided pedophilia isn't a big deal.

I wouldn't be surprised to see deplorable Trumping MAGAts bringing their daughters to Trump rallies as offerings for Trump.

Let's never forget:

The woman, who had filed suit earlier this year under the pseudonym Jane Doe, had alleged that Trump and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein had raped her in 1994, when she was a 13-year-old aspiring model.

This week she abruptly canceled a plan to speak publicly about the allegations, and another attorney, Lisa Bloom, cited "numerous threats" against her client.

Domestic Terrorism works.

Don't like someone accusing Trump of raping her? Shut her up by threatening her life.

Bravo MAGAts. You've been protecting this pedophile for a decade.

The Johnsons have five children, including an adult son, Michael Tirrell James. Johnson and his wife met James, who is black, at an event for Young Life Ministries.[231] The Johnsons took James in, assuming legal guardianship of him when he was 14 years old.[231][232][233] James, who maintains a private life with his family, has said, "If the Johnsons hadn't taken me in as a teenager, my life would look very different today."[234]

You're calling him a pedo for this?

But I have a feeling that "not ------- thirteen year old girls" is a relatively modern and not entirely widespread cultural tradition, newer than electricity and refrigeration and air travel.

Certainly newer than The Bible, from whom Christians purport to derive their morality.

The claim that 'Speaker of the House Mike Johnson "adopted" an 11-year-old son when he was a single 25-year-old man' is inaccurate based on available reports.

- Timeline and Age: Mike Johnson and his wife Kelly took in a teenager named Michael when they were newlyweds, and Michael was 14 years old at that time"not 11. Johnson was not a single man; he was married when they took Michael in[2][3][12][13].
- Nature of Relationship: The Johnsons did **not formally adopt Michael**. According to Johnson and his representatives, they took "custody" of Michael, but due to the "lengthy adoption process," there was never a formal, legal adoption[2][3][12][13]. He has sometimes referred to Michael as his "adopted" son, but this is not a legal designation.
- Michael's Public Profile: As an adult, Michael has chosen to remain out of Johnson's public life, and the Johnsons have respected that preference[2][3][5].

There is no evidence that Johnson informally or formally "adopted" Michael as a single man at age 25, nor that Michael was 11 at the time. Instead, the Johnsons took a 14-year-old Michael"whom they met through church youth ministry"into their home after they married, and Michael remained part of their family without a formal adoption[2][3][9][12][13].

Mike Johnson met Michael in 1996, then adopted him in 1999, my mistake. Covenant marriage means no divorce. I wonder if they use confessionals?

Regardless, this kid was 11 and Mike Johnson was single when he encountered him in Baton Rouge the first time.

-He just wants video proof of 25 year old Mike Johnson raping that 11 year old.

No, you're just wanting to accuse someone of raping an 11 year old with zero evidence.

Because you're a petulant spoiled little child who isn't getting what he wants.

BTW, that's what this is all about.

You don't give a ---- about this kid or if he was raped. You're just having your daily temper tantrum.

Just one Epstein bank account had 4,725 wire transfers amounting to over 1.1 billion.. and that's only one of many.

Golly, I wonder if any of that would be of interest to the AG?

Who answers the question "Do you have an age limit?" with "not 12"?

Seriously, he brags about "banging" and the "girls" confirm this.

1980s Trump and Epstein met around the time Trump bought Mar-a-Lago in 1985, when Epstein was also living in Palm Beach, according to Trump, who told New York magazine in 2002 he had known Epstein for "15 years," calling him a "terrific guy," and adding "it is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."

1992 Trump and Epstein were spotted laughing together at a party Trump threw at Mar-a-Lago, according to NBC footage of the event unearthed in 2019.

1992 At a "calendar girl" party at Mar-a-Lago where Trump invited just two other guests, Florida businessman George Houraney and Epstein, Houraney's girlfriend at the time, Jill Harth, said Trump forcibly kissed and fondled her, restrained her from leaving a bedroom and alleged Trump crawled into bed with another 22-year-old woman at the party in a 1997 lawsuit Trump settled the lawsuit with Harth (he has denied her allegations), The New York Times reported.

1993 Trump flew on Epstein's private jets four times in 1993, according to flight logs made public during Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell's trial, The New York Times reported.

1993 Photos released by CNN showed Epstein attended Trump's 1993 wedding to Marla Maples"his second wife"at the Plaza Hotel in New York. A few months before the wedding, another photo published by CNN showed Epstein and Trump together at the opening of the Harley Davidson Cafe in New York.

1994 Trump flew on one of Epstein's private jets, according to the flight logs.

#102 | Posted by redlightrobot at 2025-07-23 11:58 AM | Reply

1995 Epstein reportedly called Maria Farmer"who has accused Epstein and Maxwell of sexual assault"to his New York office late at night, where Trump then arrived and "started to hover over" Farmer, who was in her mid-20s at the time, and "stared at her bare legs" before Epstein said, "No, no. She's not here for you," Farmer reportedly told the FBI, according to The New York Times.

1995 Trump took another flight on an Epstein jet, the flight logs say.

1997 Trump took a seventh flight on one of Epstein's jets.

1997 Trump and Epstein were photographed standing near each other at a Victoria's Secret "Angels" party, according to a Getty image of Trump posing with model Ingrid Seynhaeve that shows Epstein in the background.

1999 A video released by CNN showed Trump and Epstein laughing and chatting with each other at another Victoria's Secret event.

2000 Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was working at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort when she was recruited by Maxwell to work as Epstein's personal masseuse and was groomed by the two to provide sexual services for Epstein and his wealthy circle, according to a deposition Giuffre gave that was made public in 2019.

2003 Trump allegedly gave Epstein the birthday card that said "may every day be another wonderful secret," according to the Thursday report in the Wall Street Journal, which the president denies.

2004 Trump and Epstein had a falling out when Trump outbid him for a Palm Beach mansion, according to a Washington Post report.

2015 Trump's name appeared circled in Epstein's "little black book" of 1,571 personal contacts, which spanned 97 pages of names, numbers and addresses of Epstein's associates, including high-powered figures such as Prince Andrew and Ehud Barak, whose names were among about 38 also circled, according to a copy of the document published by Gawker in 2015.

Crucial Quote

"I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him," Trump told reporters from the Oval Office in 2019 when Epstein was arrested. "I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you."

While I believe Trump was deeply involved in what Epstein was selling, if anyone believes Trumps name will be on anything connected to the scandal that is released by his own Administration, I've got some swampland for sale...

"Not sure how Danforth feels about that accusation"

Not an accusation at all. He may remember my original handle, back when handles weren't required:

DanforthRepublican
Meaning, a Republican leaner who found himself without a party. It was after Jack Danforth's op ed in the NYT, basically saying the party had left him.

Personally, I came of age between the Vietnam War, which taught me NEVER to trust Democrats, and Watergate, which taught me NEVER to trust Republicans. I registered as an independent, and have been ever since. I was a fan of the fourth estate, until I was a victim of fake news.

Anymore, I trust the numbers. It's the one thing that's never lied to me.

BullBringer presents: 50 Shades of raping kids.

Something tells me BullBringer is okay with statutory rape.

And will later argue Trump simply committed statutory rape, so it's not that bad.

Are you drawing a distinction whereby Epstein couldn't possibly be straight, because he's a pedo?

"Three years later when he married his gay conversion therapist wife, the story became he adopted the boy, unofficially.

Obama's fault, right?

What might Mike Johnson and Donald Trump have to gain from delaying the Epstein files release?

Literally each and every Trump "official" is a damaged unit with dirt on them, so that's probable, if not a requirement among this administration.

Instead, they are dismantling federal child trafficking investigations as they allegedly are drawing up documents to arrest Obama for being "sedatious"!

Kudos to your brainworm!

How much vetting is "minimal vetting?"
And to whom was the border opened with "no vetting?"
And is it closed now, like walled off, or what.

This is your best defense for Trump raping Children?

Comparing it to a consensual oral between two adults?

Had to look up Ted Kennedy, 1969? 56 years ago? Also, again, Kopechne was 29. She was an adult.

You're full on defending pedopholia. By comparing it to adults having sexual relations.

What a ------- ------ you are.

Somehow I don't recall Bubba or Teddy ordering their DoJ to falsify Electoral Ballots to stay in Office after they lost Elections. And then sending a Riot Squad to violently stop the peaceful transfer of power in this country for the first time ever.

Nor talking to Howard Stern about wanting to diddle their own daughters.

Rwingers have lost any moral authority to condemn anyone else for anything else, ever.

Seems like he managed to avoid raping children.

So. How does the comparison between him and Trump make sense?

Do explain since you seem committed to defending his pedophilia.

Cool, now do Trump, and take your time!

I can't wait until you get to his "modeling agency" associates.

Or, where he met Melania.

Epstein may have shot a president!
