It's telling, imo, that the legal age for sexual consent has remained just sixteen or seventeen in 38 of the 50 states, including NC. There have been some Republican state legislators in recent years who have fought raising the legal marriage age in their states to 18. A New Hampshire Republican legislator in 2024 said in a speech that under-18 girls were "ripe" and "fertile" and opposed raising the legal marriage age in NH to 18 (previously, girls in NH as young as 13 could marry with permission from a judge). In 2023 a Missouri Republican legislator, in proposing a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for minors, said that he knew 12-year-old girls who had gotten married and who were still married - even as he claimed his proposed ban on gender-affirming care was being done to "protect" minors. A Missouri Democrat pointed out the obvious contradiction in his claims to be protecting minors while he was apparently OK with 12-year-olds being allowed to marry.

I do think there still exists in some parts of the country - mainly more rural and socially conservative areas - the idea that underage girls dating or marrying much older men isn't such a bad thing. When Roy Moore was defeated (barely) in that notorious 2017 Alabama special Senate election for sexually harassing, dating, and assaulting underage girls when he was in his thirties and forties (including hanging around his local shopping mall in his mid-thirties trying to hit on and pick up underage girls at the mall) there were stories in some articles about that election in which conservative religious voters in Alabama implied that underage girls dating much older men wasn't such a big deal. I remember one of the women who said Moore had sexually assaulted her in his car when she was underage said in an article that her own mother had told her that she was "lucky" that such a powerful and important older man (Moore was an assistant DA at the time) was showing a romantic interest in her. And Franklin Graham defended Moore and attacked his critics, asserting that they were "guilty of doing much worse than what he has been accused of supposedly doing" and another Alabama preacher defended Moore by saying that he was a "veteran" who had returned from military service to find that most women his age were already married, so he had sought out "the purity of young [underage] women."

I heard some similar sentiments growing up in rural NC, although I would also point out that plenty of others disagreed. I do think there is a larger number of people than many realize who privately still believe underage girls being preyed on by older men isn't such a big deal, as disgusting as that is.
Why wouldn't there be open season on young girls when "conservatives" have such little regard for grown women?
 
I would assume that "in the files" means information contained in the case complied by the justice department to be used in Epstein's prosecution.
 
Calla, this is what I'm talking about --


Steve Bannon joined a growing chorus of MAGA influencers coalescing behind President Donald Trump in the wake of the Wall Street Journal report about a ribald birthday letter bearing Trump’s name that was sent to Jeffrey Epstein, telling CNN Friday that he believed the story had united a base that had been showing signs of fraying.

“We are finally on offense,” Bannon, Trump’s former aide and a leader of the MAGA movement, said via text message to CNN. “President Trump has had enough and is fighting back – against his real enemies.”

Bannon was one of several of Trump’s high-profile supporters who had been skeptical of the administration’s handling of the Epstein case, pushing the administration to release more files on the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender who authorities have said killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal charges.

Please tell me you're not this morally weak. Denounce this bullshit, or admit you don't give a fuck if your president is a pedophile. You ONLY care if your president is "winning" against your enemies. Not many things are binary, but this one is. You're either on Team Pedophile, like Bannon, or you're not. Tell us where you stand.
 
What does "in the files mean"? It is well documented that trump and ep knew each other for years and at times were friends. Both extremely wealthy and both living in NY. So, again, what does being in the files mean?
It’s hard for any of us to know what all could be in there, but hypothetically, what if there is record of Trump sending Epstein something that said:

“We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.”
“Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?”
“May every day be another wonderful secret”

Would that be an issue for you?
 
Do I think he visited ep island? Don't know - possibly - is that what being in the files means?
Do I think he hooked up with any girls at ep island - if he visited - possibly
Do i think they were underaged - possibly - if he was there
Do I think it's reasonable to wait for further info to come out - yep - given that these files were in the hands of the dims during the election
Do I think if the dims had any evidence trump was there they would use it - yep
Am I claiming trump is innocent - nope
Am I claiming he is guilty - nope
When did Epstein die?
Who was president at that time?
When was Epstein convicted in Florida?
Who was president at this time?
So, considering the answers to these questions, why do you keep placing blame on the wrong party representatives for where we are?
 
If I had a hot take on this situation, it would be this:
Sometime in the relative near-future the left and right will be arguing over what is the definition of “sex trafficking.”
Clay Travis just said that what Epstein did wouldn’t even be illegal in Alabama because the age of consent there is 15 or 16.
 
I have no knowledge that Trump had sex with underaged girls.
But if you had to make a bet and your life depended on it on who has had sex with underaged girls and the choices were Trump and 20 random guys in a room, every board Trumper here would choose Trump.
 
What is the catastrophic shitshow that you are referring to?
The Trump administration.

The big beautiful regressive bill that moved us closer to being an autocracy, even thought all of the conservatives told us the dictator comments were a joke.

The future decades he is impacting in education and science.

The loss of our status in the eyes of the world in order to push a mob boss tariff plan, constantly demonstrating how little he knows about economics or global trade.
 
No his history pretty much already lead to that conclusion. This week just proved he was concerned and trying to cover up something.
Same was true about russia right? You guys are guilty of premature ejaculation over and over and over. I get all of you have erections thinking that the smoking gun is right around the corner but you should keep your hands off of it until it is proven he was diddling underage girls.

Who had the files before trump was in office? That is all I said. Where did I place blame on anyone?

More of the sky is falling. The tariff's are a big bust for you guys, his handling of foreign policy and the economy has been just fine. Projections are all you guys have because reality is a big disappointment to you.
 
that you absolute morons think that the russian election interference situation is some sort of gotcha is so unbelievably hilarious.

russia interfered with that election in favor of trump beyond a shadow of a doubt. that investigators couldn't prove that the trump campaign's knowledge of and involvement with said interference met the legal threshold for collusion charges is just pure luck, frankly.

the cheating in favor of the trump campaign at the hands of fucking RUSSIA happened, regardless. stop and think to yourself why our bitter enemy would do that, you dumbfuck.
