Stacey Williams says the ex-president, whose spokesperson denied the allegations, touched her in an unwanted sexual way in 1993, after Epstein introduced them.

Plus he rapes. So. It’s a rich tapestry of evil.

Wish they’d interviewed her months ago.

All the MAGgots are going to question the “timing“ of this.

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They'd say the same thing if they interviewed her 3 years ago.

But at least early voting wouldn't have started and maybe they could have shaved off a few people who have now already voted for Trump.

Edit: Sorry. Reading back, this was more callous than I meant it to sound. I was just speaking in the abstract and did not make that at all clear. She has the right to come forward whenever she feels ready. Or never if she never felt ready.

Maybe look back harder yet, damn. It’s obvious you’re 100% ready to cheer the political effects of this insofar as they’re convenient for your side. If it’s not obvious to you, or you think it’s some fluke utterance that doesn’t actually reflect your position on this, I encourage you to look harder and how and whether you’re willing to use victim advocacy as cover for your politics.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You might look at literally every other comment I have made in this thread where I have said that it's up to her to come forward and politics are irrelevant.

Or my edit to this post where I said that I was speaking in the abstract and not specifically about her.

If you want to get mad at people, there are people literally berating her in this thread.

I mean there's someone slightly below my comment saying the timing is suspicious. You didn't bother replying to that comment despite them not saying they were speaking in the abstract.

One wonders why.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

It won't make a different for those dickheads, they've already made it clear they're more than comfortable supporting a rapist.

Hopefully a few of the more sane ones will take this on board though.

Unfortunately that's not as bad as being "a socialist" in their eyes.

This is IMPOSSIBLE because Trump and Epstein WERENT friends even though there's Video and Interview Footage of them being the Bestest of Friends until Jeffrey Epstein bought a Bigger Mansion then Trump!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Epstein likes to tell people that he’s a loner, a man who’s never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic. And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

Evangelists..it's what God wanted. God wanted Trump to rape you so as to bring pleasure to an otherwise depressed and sad person. Luckily you can along as a usable thing for him to feel better. Anyway, this is great. He will need some more of you next Wednesday at 7pm so be available. Hey Man! Amen! And so is the word of the book of Trump and his trumpets.

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, uh, the bible isn't really that opposed to rape. You just have to pay the family of the woman the bride price. As long as you've got the money, it's all good.

And no, that's not a joke. An unmarried man that rapes an unmarried woman has essentially committed a civil infraction under the book of the law. OTOH, a woman that commits adultery should be stoned to death, and a man that rapes a married woman is also put to death. Because according to the bible, women are property.

At Costco 12 A.D. "hello, I would like there two women in my cart"...."Sir this one, did you get it from the unmarried isle?"...."yes. That one is for humpin. The other looks good for chores around the house, she's from the married isle" ...."just remember, thou shalt not hump from the married isle!"...."understoodeth!"
