    What a timely reminder that those responsible for the state of things have thus far continued to evade consequences for their actions and are all part of one big beautiful team.

    I wonder about the observation that Melania may have been introduced to Donald through the sort of model trafficking networks that have been in the news lately. Not that that absolves her of choosing to be in the Trump org but it’s an interesting angle to poke at.

      daily reminder that after making halfhearted tweets condemning ice gunning people down in the streets, lib politicians then proceed to talk about brunch in the groupchat with their republican buddies. it’s all theater

        She was around 30 when they met. I think it’s fairly likely she trafficked kids in exchange for better modeling and financial deals

        We already know Epstein’s circle had modeling CEOs and supermodels like Naomi Campbell. Children are especially vulnerable to the halo effect, so it’s not hard to imagine Epstein saw unusually pretty, classy, media-trained, younger adult women as the perfect demographic to influence/manipulate little girls

        Hell Epstein probably introduced Melania to Trump so she could help get kids from the Trump-owned Miss Teen USA (where underaged competitors clearly didn’t trust Trump, considering he was known to watch them naked in their changing rooms)

          Maybe Melania has past trauma or was groomed as a child (tho keep in mind, she didn’t move to the US til her late-20s). So do countless male predators

          There’s no reason to assume grown women as any less likely or complicit in child predation than grown men. That mentality’s both infantilizing to women and dangerous to society, considering how many parents stress stranger-danger to their kids using exclusively male examples and framing. It’s the very reason Epstein knew female partners-in-crime would be so effective

        Yeah that’s pretty much what I’m referring to. I suppose I’m asking whether she should be thought of as having been trafficked vs. having informed consent; but by asking that I’m lowkey begging the question that there is even a difference when we’re talking about Epstein’s network.

    Observations: george w has a very “i’m a pedophile” face, but maybe that’s just all the Old White Man happening. Also what’s up with Melania’s collar, shit’s got lapels like wings like it’s gonna transform into a jet fighter
