But all Trump supporters are Losers, criminals, and rapists right? That’s what’s said here…..

Unless they are Republican.

Or southern. Or from a "flyover" state. Or conservative Christians. Or boomers. Etc etc.

Charged with possession of AI-generated (fictional) content. Actual harm is technical and theoretical.

Pedophilia is a mental disorder that calls for compassion and treatment, so that sufferers aren't pressured to avoid treatment and monitoring.
Pedophilia is often caused by a trauma response to being victimized as a child.

They need to be locked away for life somewhere.

A cartoonist in possession of AI content? I’ll withhold judgement until there’s evidence at trial.

Things are about to get weird. Lots of people are going to be targeted, harassed, and accused of things they didn’t do.

I would say that the biggest problem we have in the world is men. Period. Men are dangerous. Right men, Left men, Middle men. Dangerous.

Oh, the irony.

Did he mock Republicans for exposing actual grooming of children or did he mock Q-Anon types who think children are being enslaved underground so progressive politicians can drink their blood?

DP. You can click on the link. He was mocking Republicans generally. This is the same far left response to other issues of safeguarding.

We saw how much people ignored or outright objected to The Sound of Freedom. I suspect this is much deeper than people are aware.

Agreed. As a woman, I consider all men capable of predatory behavior toward women.

As a man, I consider all women capable of predatory behavior toward men.

"NJ elementary teacher Laura Caron sexually assaulted, had child with former student, 13, who lived with her: prosecutors"

That is of course a reasonable starting point, but the numbers of predatory men vastly outweigh those of predatory women, statistically speaking. Still, caution is always warranted.

Yes, I can’t think of a woman who has been arrested with child porn.

I guess you missed this huge thread:

But I agree, it’s rare.

They are usually the ones helping make it.

Nobody is pretending that. What I'd like is stop bringing politics into period. WTH cares he was liberal. We need men with predatory behavior to be called out by ALL SIDES. So, let's start with the president on down.

Of course they are. This very forum had a thread that only allowed stories of right wing sexual predators. The owner deleted factual news stories of left wing child predators.

This exactly. Stop making it political.

You want political? Generally speaking Dems condemn this kind of behavior in their ranks. GOP circle the wagons and deny and defend. The difference is not that neither party had creepy predators. It's the response.

I'll take the Dems reactions thanks if you insist on bringing up politics.

Yeah but why does it seem like all the Jeffrey Epsteins and Harvey Weinsteins and Sean Combs etc are more aligned with the left?

Did you forget Trump was BFF with Epstein? Did you forget that a few months ago MTG accused the GOP leaders of harboring sexual predators in the party and used taxpayer funds for payouts, including one to HER. What about Roger Aisles and Rupert Murdoch?

You seem to have a very selective memory!

Trump is not Epstein any more than Clinton is Epstein.

Yes he was!

I’m a dem and Clinton likely was too. Not talking about the intern.

Only one party has produced legislation for girls as young as ten to be legally married to a white male. Missouri

Jeffrey Epstein ingratiated himself with powerful men from all over the political spectrum, as has Trump.

I have a problem with every person who sexually assaults others or possesses child pornography, regardless of their politics. I also have a problem with hypocritical politicians who have used abortions to solve their own problems, but want to deny that solution to others or who have engaged in homosexual relations, but want to limit the rights of homosexual or bisexual people.
