President Trump and defense chief Hegseth delivered pair of incendiary speeches to a crowd of hundreds of generals and admirals. Decrying "the insane fallacy that diversity is our strength", Hegseth said he had chosen to fire previous generals because they had been personally invested in progressive ideas about diversity. Trump followed with a meandering stump speech that echoed past jibes at his predecessor and self promotion. New was a virtual declaration of war on his targeted cities.

Megyn Kelly has a point. Sexual consent laws have been all over the board throughout time and place.
In 1880, American ages of consent were set at 10 or 12 in most states, with the exception of Delaware where it was 7.
Today, 23 US states or territories set the "restricted" age of sexual consent at 15 or lower. (In 3 of those jurisdictions, the younger age is 14 and in 10, it's 13.) But the age difference between younger & older partner is very restricted. And the unrestricted age of consent is primarily between 16 & 18.

I hope what Ms Kelly intended to assert is that violating age of consent law isn't necessarily pedophilia. If that was her intent, she's not defending sexual predators.
But Epstein and Maxwell were predators bengaging in trafficking vulnerable young women and exploiting their vulnerability. And consent is generally not being a virtual indentured servant for someone's escort-for-hire business. At a minimum, consent means freely able to say no, without restrictions. Ideally, it implies mutual agreement without duress and under appropriate mental conditions.
Back when Trump's Atlantic City Casino was being investigated for international money laundering, three of Trump's senior executives perished when one of the rotors flew off mid-flight over NJ between Atlantic City & NYC.

Not many copters crash like that. Isn't it suspicious that a rotor just "popped" off a chopper carrying 3 execs who could testify?
And what an odd coincidence that Trump's ex-wife Ivana died suddenly when she "fell" down her home's stairs in a freak accident when Trump was being investigated for unseemly close Russian ties. Ivana, the daughter of a Communist era Czech secret police informer, who had KGB ties would she have any incriminating info about Trump's former KGB friends?
