I love how @Anastasis posts "Bill likes'em young", everyone pig piles on each other on a debate over whether Bill is a sexual criminal and pedophile, just a horny dumbass or something in between, and then Ana returns to a real discussion about the release with Alan Dershowitz, David Copperfield and Steven Hawking standing out. That is some serious intardnet crowd control. Bravo. Masterful gambit, sir.
This is the best post in the thread at this point. Way too many otherwise smart people look at any association with Epstein as evidence of guilt for the other side. The fact that Epstein was connected to so many powerful, famous and influential people of varying ideologies is evidence of both these facts:
Human depravity follows no political ideology
Rich, famous and powerful people tend to be in the orbit of other rich, famous and powerful people
When a person associated with Epstein is a polarizing figure, anyone who doesn't like that figure uses that association as a reason for that figure to be strung up by a rope, metaphorically or otherwise. There are a lot of people associated with Epstein, a lot for whom there is strong and direct evidence of pedophilia (I'm looking at you, Prince Andrew & Alan Dershowitz) but people just want to talk about Clinton's or Trump's connection and possible pedophilia.
