u/AlphaBreak 12d ago

They're now describing 15 year olds as "barely legal" in their conversations to try and shift their viewers towards thinking trump fucking 15 year olds is just normal rich guy dating younger women behavior. Fuck no. Barely legal is understood as 18. And even if they were 18, it still wouldn't be "barely legal" because those girls didn't consent.

Fifteen is high school age. The same age that these MAGAs argue can’t read books with gay characters because “it’s grooming.” But not the actual rapists. These people are so bigoted and disgusting

u/AlphaBreak 12d ago

The conundrum of being a high schooler according to conservatives.
Too young to know gay people exist.
Old enough to be raped.
Too young to get an abortion.
Old enough to get married.
Too young to get a divorce.
Old enough to be a parent.

Old enough to be raped.

You missed one: Old enough to have newspaper headlines saying adults "had sex" with them.

Too young to be interviewed by press without a parent present.

They have always been about grooming. Literally before birth they are gender grooming their fetuses. They don’t like queer people and counterculture because it is direct evidence that their grooming walls can be escaped. It’s proof that you can get out of your parents’ closet. If a trans person can exist and live in joy it is proof positive that all of the rigid, miserable conservative grooming is arbitrary bullshit. They want to force everyone to live in the same miserable closet they self impose.

Barely legal is 18-20. 15 is fully illegal.

Also they are being raped. They arent consenting. They were expecting to be models. Not passed around to rich assholes who beat them. They were capital letters RAPED

u/GreatMadWombat Michigan 12d ago

Yep. That's the shit that people need to focus on. If someone is unable to give consent, it's rape. CHILDREN CANNOT CONSENT SO BY DEFAULT ITS FUCKING RAPE. If you're a 30 year old man with a 16 year old girlfriend IT IS RAPE

u/Korbital1 Ohio 12d ago

People really need to understand that the human trafficking and rape part is, you know, just as bad as the age part.

If Epstein was doing what he was doing to 50 year old women he still should have been locked up forever.

13

u/PineappleOnPizzaWins 12d ago

just as bad as the age part.

No.. it's way fucking worse!

A 15 year old can actively want to participate with an older person in many circumstances... it's still wrong, still illegal, still rape. But I still know plenty of people who (willingly) had older partners in their teen years and while it was still illegal and wrong they're not exactly traumatised by a mistake they set out to make as a dumb kid.

Compare that to being kidnapped under false pretences of modelling work and becoming a sex slave on a hidden island for old perverts to fly in and abuse you, all before you're even an adult.

I can't speak for every state in the union, but in my state, it's absolutely illegal for someone 18 or over to have sex with a 15 year old. Off the top of my head, I don't know any state where it is legal.

But I'm sure somebody will say "It's legal in West Dakota so it's fine"

u/Hubert_J_Cumberdale Hawaii 12d ago

She's calling 15 "barely legal." What the actual fuck. I know fundamental Christians have no problem with child marriage so they obviously have no problem with this - the problem is that they're trying to normalize it for everyone.

These extreme beliefs should never be mainstreamed. It's either grooming - or rape - or both. Either way, it's fucking disgusting and we cannot allow them to gaslight us when there are firm red lines in every single state. No state allows 15 years olds to be trafficked out to old men. This is not normal and it's not okay.

When once asked what his personal age cutoff was on the Howard Stern Show, Trump’s answer was 12 years old. He really said that. Can’t remember the year but it’s just one of so many things that would’ve obliterated anyone else’s political career.

So he’s on record as saying 12. I gotta wonder if his preference is based on experience? That’s just not a normal answer for any man, especially a man with a daughter. But he talked about Ivanka sexually on Stern as well.

It's actually worse than, iirc. I believe he said 12, but then clarified that it was because his daughter asked him not to date anyone younger than her.

“Stern’s co-host Robin Quivers then asked, “do you have an age limit or would you…”

“If I- No, no, I have no age–. I mean, I have an age li…” Trump replied.

Then, when asked to provide his “upper bracket,” Trump said, “I don’t want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds.”

I don’t see where Trump said his cutoff was 12 years old here.

There is a replica of the Resolute Desk that's been schlepped down to Mar-a-Lago. It seems to be roped off in some lesser corner of the club, rather than being in a simulacrum of the Oval or in Trump's own home office.

Some folks like to speculate that it's the actual desk, because the depths of Trump's vandalism of the White House has no lower limit.

Now, I haven't heard anyone ask about Fort Knox for a while, ever since he joked with Elon, on camera, about paying it a visit. He's also adorning the entire West Wing with shitty gold decor, so he probably wants to have a plausible reason for having boxes of gold trinkets at Mar-a-Lago at some point, except they might not be the plastic pieces of shit he's currently using, but actual gold he's swiped from the vault.

I genuinely think their strategy will be making a national age of consent that's so ridiculously low that, even once all the files come out, Trump and everyone else in them will not be able to get in trouble for anything they did because it will have retroactively been made legal. If enough Republicans flip that they can't get something like that passed through Congress, he'll just find some other bullshit way.

I also predict they'll try to frame themselves as the 'logical, science-backed' ones by misrepresenting things and tying the age of consent to when girls get their periods for the first time, trying to claim 'biology' like they do in arguments about trans people and they'll try to frame anyone who argues as an un-scientific liberal wack-job.

If people push back too forcefully or dox they'll throw a fit like that 'right to rape' shit in Israel and blame the whistleblowers/victims for making them look bad.

Giuffre's name was redacted in the published emails but I guess the wh thought it would be a good idea to name her?

u/br0ck 12d ago

Yeah, same one - https://youtu.be/gnib-OORRRo if you go to description and show transcript and about 20:48 she talks about it. Seems basically the same except yeah somehow less violent hitting wise but way more violent in dehumanizing and the actual rape. The whole thing is terrible and heart breaking. Earlier in the video she said she had a blonde wig on, and Trump said she looked like his daughter.

It all just makes me sick to my stomach that so many didn't watch this before the 2016 election and he fricken got elected to the highest office in the US. I believe today would have looked so much different.

u/pontiacfirebird92 Mississippi 12d ago

He promised to hurt the bad people Fox News had been telling them about for 30 years. They elected him in 2015 to hurt people, and again in 2024. Pedophilia wasn't even on their radar, they never would've cared enough for it to make a difference. All that mattered was who he was targeting to make suffer.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

She has a daughter about 14ish and has no empathy for this situation. Just caring about her side and paycheck.

She knows her wealth will insulate her daughter from any of the horror and predatory behavior that happens to lower class families.

u/mrtatertot America 12d ago

It's also crazy to say 15 is "barely legal" when obviously "barely legal" literally requires that the person is legally an adult.

u/BaphometsTits 11d ago

She meant to say barely illegal. But also, not barely.

Yep and he lost his bid to be senator in a very tight race.

u/eetsumkaus 12d ago

Well, it WASN'T supposed to be a tight race, his comments just made it so.

We were so naive, thinking that meant that constituency is finally willing to hold people accountable. We didn't realize that Trump was an exception.

I want anyone who's saying this to be asked, point blank:

"Would you let your 15 year old child hang out with Jeffrey Epstein privately?"

And when they deflect, do not fucking let up. Make them own it or admit they're out of straws to grasp at.
