    And the ones who weren't involved just thought it would be nice to hang out at some far flung island where old dudes were having sexual encounters with under age minors even though no spouses or significant others were around?? Same guys who like going to strip clubs just to watch others have fun??

    I don't know. Hopefully we'll find out.

    I think it's possible there were weekends when there were no girls on the island. That Epstein chose to rub elbows with the rich and powerful. And it would not be unusual for it to be men only. But like I said, we'll see

    I think that Epstein’s MO was to ingratiate himself with powerful men. The lonely or vulnerable gave him blackmail material. Bubba got all of the strange he wanted without Epstein throwing a 15 year old his way.

    Mostly I just don't want anyone to be able to say Alex Jones was right about anything.

    If that's where the search for the truth takes us, it isn't worth getting there.

    The fuck it isn't. You may want to keep your illusions about whatever idol you worship.
    Have you ever sat in a quiet room with a kid who can't sleep the night without waking up screaming because they can't escape what's playing over and over in their head? Have you ever seen the shape a child's genitalia is in after their adults sold their attention to some nice white boys from Knoxville who were looking for a good time? If you're sitting in the next cabana feeling virtuous while someone is tearing a kid in half because it makes them feel like a big man and you don't say anything, YOU ARE JUST AS GUILTY.

    The victims of CSA serve life sentences for the choices those "Bros" made.

    Look, what bothers me is this trend toward recklessly accusing one's enemies of a very serious crime without evidence. That's what's being done to Tom Hanks, Joe Biden, the Clintons, the Podestas, Oprah, etc.

    I absolutely do not think it's okay to ignore information about abuse just to keep a production schedule, friendship, etc. If the evidence shows people knew about it and did nothing, they're no different from the pedophiles they protected.

    I do understand your viewpoint, but should the media have reported on the Comet Pizza conspiracy theory that was floating around?
