Tina Davis, who modeled for Ford, said she was told to "dress sexy" for a 1994 Mar-a-Lago party when she was 14. Her mother recalled that waiters kept offering her daughter champagne, and that Marla Maples pulled her aside with a warning: "Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband."

14 is a bit long in the tooth for pedo 47.

"While the Times found no evidence implicating Trump in Epstein's sex trafficking crimes, "

Right because bad guys only do bad guy things on that one island. Off the island they're all good guys.

"Multiple models described being bused to Mar-a-Lago parties in the mid-to-late 1990s, often facilitated by Jason Binn, co-founder of Ocean Drive magazine. The events were open-bar, no one checked IDs, and young women " some as young as 14 " were given champagne. Tina Davis, who modeled for Ford, said she was told to "dress sexy" for a 1994 Mar-a-Lago party when she was 14."

@#3 ... Wait, I thought he was all over the Island. ...

Pres Trump (and others) may have been ~all over the island~ but not yet implicated with what has been released so far.

But the question remains, why is Pres Trump's DoJ so reluctant to release the Epstein files? (as directed by Congress?)

My view is ... I do not care who may be caught up in the Epstein sex-trafficking affair.

All those who are involved in the sex trafficking and sex exploits should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

For me, it is telling the victims of Epstein that Justice prevails over political boundaries.

Trump is the dog who, 'didn't bark' to the authorities about Epstein's girls, according to Epstein.

In other words, Trump was fully exonerated by the New York Times

@#7 ... In other words, Trump was fully exonerated by the New York Times ...

Two questions ...

1) fully exonerated of what?

2) if he has been fully exonerated, as your current alias seems to claim, what actions was he exonerated of? Asked differently, if your current alias seems to know he was fully exonerated, then surely it must also know what he was exonerated of.

thx.

My guess is Lewzer told them not to.

I think when all of this is said and done, the most shocking thing for me will be the pain of watching so many seemingly decent Republican Party members toe the line, kiss the ring, of the clearly pedophile adjacent Trump.

Most of them simply collapsed; deflated like balloons at the approach of Trump. I believe this is because none of them were real people in the sense of having character, values, or beliefs. Trump could never have gotten as far as he did without their moral cowardice and apparently complete abdication of intellectual life.

The implication is that these people were always been conning us; always and forever. Their vapidity is who they sincerely are. Their aggravating, destructive shallowness is who they always have been.

These sorts of people aren't going away. The rest of us who do maintain some pride in ourselves as Americans need to be a lot more level-headed and discerning when choosing people to have power.

Donald Trump is going to die soon. He never was the Anti-Christ, although a passable imitation. The real Anti-Christ is still out there someplace, waiting for us to make the same mistakes we made with Trump. And that man will be young, fit, educated, competent, and obviously much more dangerous than our imaginations are yet ready to comprehend.

Right. Just like the mueller investigation "totally exonerated" him. And the Jan 6th committee.

I'm sure you'd call it NOTHING if obama had run teenage beauty pageants, bragged about sneaking into the dressing room to see them naked, bragged about sexually assaulting women, cheated on his wives with porn stars, met his newest whore wife through epstein, and partied with epstein for decades, hired an 2 attorney generals with ties to epstein, had epstein killed in prison, and then fought like hell to keep all epstein files hidden, right?

You'd be calling that NOTHING?

It appears that by this point it is MAGAts who suffer TDS (and not the rest of us) in their blind fanatical desperation to deny what is obvious to any clear thinking person. Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Did he rape underage girls? Yes.
Did he traffic them? No evidence of that was uncovered other than having them at his parties.

Considering the timing of when and how Trump said some of his critics could be executed for sedition, it seems he was talking to w aider audience than he led us to believe.

Corrected post for 23:
