Too many people don't care about the logic for which someone comes to their conclusion, rather they just care about the conclusion.

I can't tell if this means the person was straight or gay.

Actually this mentality just makes the other group want to punch you more.

I could never be supportive of trans teens and write something like this because ultimately it is supportive of pedophilia, the logic being that the two are comparable. 😬

Teenagers are old enough to have sex with middle aged men. They are not old enough to be trans. by Megyn Kelly

@ousmantourazy.bsky.social If you have an attic, store your old shirts in it so the moths always have a fresh meal.

Naa, he meant, "I have the runs".

He probably meant to say, “I have a country to ruin.”

I could never be influenced by "clout" like this.

Netflix emailed me about it and I ignored it. You posted and I immediately added it to my queue

No reason to make this a race issue though. Or a Western thing.

Honorée Fanonne Jeffers@blklibrarygirl.bsky.social · 11mo ago

So there was a conspiracy, just not involving pizza parlors. At the center of this is how White men trafficked children as a means to acquire global wealth and political power. I do want us at some point to understand this situation as ongoing throughout Western history & not an anomaly.

"really was".

HELL WIZARD@pyramidmaster.bsky.social · 11mo ago

what if the joker was mentally ill. that would be fucked up

This is what I've been thinking. All of a sudden everyone acts like Epstein is Mr. Credible.

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 11mo ago

One caution I'd offer as everyone goes through these emails is that *Jeffrey Epstein* (of all people) saying something in an email does not automatically make it true!

What concerns me is that people are focused on "illegal" and not so much on "wrong". Maybe include both words.

Nigel@nigel-t.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Sex trafficking is illegal regardless of the persons age!

If Megyn Kelly was saying that some 19 year olds are still kids, then I don't think there would be an uproar, and that's something to think about. Maybe Megyn felt mature early? Just trying to see where Megyn is coming from because she's not really making sense.

As a former 15 year old girl, I’m the same age as Britney Spears and Anna Kournikova and I remember all the stuff people said about them on tv, sports radio, and newspapers, full mainstream. It was gross then and now, and I don’t really have a point, just, yeah, you're still a child when you’re 15.

There's a word for everything you have an unfounded visceral negative reaction to. This is why it's important to think things through a lot. It will always seem logical that things you don't like are bad simply because vocabulary allows for it. Make sure you really know why you don't like things.

I don't understand what Megyn Kelly is saying. If they look younger then how do they pass as older? How does this make sense? It's literally a word salad.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 11mo ago

First of all, a 15-year-old is not "barely legal." The age of consent in Florida is 18. So sexual behavior with a 15-year-old is rape. Megyn Kelly is VILE trash for saying otherwise. And Megyn Kelly is confessing to having insider information about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to but stayed silent.

No, this makes economic sense. When supply goes down demand goes up and the price goes up.

Sharon 🪳🌹@sharonk.bsky.social · 11mo ago

this has been a common refrain among the New Right on X, despite the fact that it makes absolutely no sense when you think about it

I also think it's just a culture thing that Epstein created. Like, I don't think most people were craving underage girls, rather he implanted it in the culture and then you were incriminated even if you did nothing.

Dana Delibovi@danadelibovi.bsky.social · 11mo ago

This isn’t rocket science: 1) Epstein was giving powerful people the chance to assault women and girls, which is something they craved and/or enjoyed being around 2) Once they took Epstein’s offers, he had kompromat on them, so he could extract financial favors 3) This was Epstein’s business model

This is fine but I also feel like people who aren't Christians don't really care so much about the raping of young girls, rather they use the topic to go after Christians. If you care about the raping of young girls, then make THAT the issue, not Christianity.

ScubaSuzyQ💙🦋@susanmcgraw88.bsky.social · 11mo ago

IF you are a "Good Christian" you will see and hear the TRUTH. There is NO ignoring the innocent young girls who were raped and harmed for life as a result of these pedophiles in crime. Believe the TRUTH. #Pinks #DemVoice1 #DV1 #ProudBlue

I'm a contrarian at heart. So the thing is, if a very bad person says you're bad, does that make you bad or good? If a known jerk didn't like you, wouldn't this make you look good?

Leah McElrath@leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers (both of whom are very bad people): “i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”

I try to look at everything objectively, and this includes Epstein/Trump stuff. It seems that when convenient for Democrats or Republicans, that Epstein and Gislaine have credibility. But when it's inconvenient for them, they have no credibility. This is why the Epstein files are meaningless.

Bluesky! Don't hate me because I watch Fox News. Love me because coffee is healthy!

Don't sweat the small stuff unless it's diced onions. 🧅
