Trump administration officials are perplexed, as many people are, by House Speaker Mike Johnson’s claims that Donald Trump was an FBI informant in the case against Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges he sexually abused and trafficked scores of underage girls. The president and Epstein had a well-documented friendship.

    Is ignoring all other pedophiles in the world throughout all time what I’m doing when writing a comment specifically about Trump? You might as well accuse me for “ignoring pederasty in ancient Greece” because I failed to touch upon that in my comment too then.

    But that quibble aside, I’m not going to complain about you bringing up important facts that bear repeating.

      Hi. I noticed your comment didn’t specifically condemn pedophilia among the Martian population in the late 1600s. What’s it like being a monster?

      /s for the one person out there who takes this seriously.

      If you were nicer and just asked for clarification, I could have explained what you misunderstood…

        Why would I ask for clarification I don’t need? You were perfectly clear. Look, just own it buddy. It’s not like I’m going to hold it against you. We’ve all made this kind of mistake at one point or another, and few of us meant to.

        But knock off the gaslighting.
