President Trump allegedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl who was trafficked to him by Jeffrey Epstein, according to documents released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) last Thursday.
How long are we going to put up with this. Men are literally in charge of this country. Where are you? Are you ever going to do anything, one thing, to help the women? We are sick of this crap. Thanks for nothing, anyone of you who has any power and does nothing.
Yes, Hannah, it is time to say it out loud: they have the guns and the power and they are raping our girls and women and getting away with it. And if it isn't "you" doing the touchy-touchy, you are letting someone more powerful get away with it. Power takes many forms. How I know God doesn't exist? Men like squeaker Mike Johnson walk through the doors of a church on Sunday and do not explode into flames.
This was my first thought. The known situation doesn't change, but details about the participation of Trump and others continue to come out. The fact is members of Congress, the FBI, journalist and author Julie Brown, and others with unrevealed knowledge need to keep pursuing this until all the government files are released and all the participants who sexually abused the girls and women are revealed. To give up and move on would be a very bad reflection on the already flawed judicial system. Read Julie Brown's book "Perversion of Justice".
Epstein was supposedly worth over $500 million when he died. Sustained, top level investigations by the American press *still* have no idea how he made pretty much all of his money. Over *one billion* dollars moved through his accounts in just the last year of his life--which suggest money-laundering and not just sex-trafficking/extortion was his main business--and the Trump2 DOJ has stonewalled *any* investigation.
Which means what? Was Epstein CIA? Mossad? Organized Crime? All of the above? Clearly some very powerful people don't want the truth of any of his activities known.
After reading the Drop Site investigative documents, I believe Epstein was involved with Russia, his best friend of many years, Mossad, Israeli ministers, organized crime and other national figures, with money laundering being the main focus.
The US DOJ--with the might of the US State Department and military behind it--is pretty much the only organization that can fully investigate the Epstein money trail.
That DOJ is instead enthusiastically engaged in coverup, means they're covering up for Organized Crime and CIA/NSA/DIA criminality, with a liklihood of pro-AIPAC players covering for Epstein if he was also working for Mossad.
Maybe he played all these groups to enrich himself. He seems to have been very clever and devious. His enterprise persisted for years and nobody knows or is revealing how he did it. I totally agree that the on-going cover-up indicates powerful people in government and business were involved
Illicit drug use in the US is still huge: ~$238 *billion* in 2025. All those Benjamins have to get laundered and/or hidden from the IRS. Which is why Trump has been laundering Russian KGB and mob money for literally *decades.* That Epstein was also involved is not a stretch.
That Trump2 DOJ is stonewalling Epstein trafficking and laundering, simply means that MAGA has gone fully pedo-protector.
That is your bottom line? To reveal all the participants who sexually abused girls?
Is it just the Epstein girls' abusers that should be revealed? What about all the other women and girls who get abused by powerful men? Have you any idea what a systemic problem this is? Outting them is not nearly a strong enough response. IMO Lorena Bobbitt has offered the only sensible solution.
Men, for sure, because their proximity and access to power stems from the longstanding legacy of the patriarchy. But I do wonder if power itself has more to do with it than sex. examples: Ghislaine Maxwell, Pam Bondi, Sarah Ferguson... how do we explain these creatures?
You really don't know? There are women who thrive on power, just like men. Men do not have a monopoly on being horrible people. There are simply more men with power than women.
There is also a dynamic where women feel that to hold that power they must prove to everyone they can be like those men - as transactional, void of compassion, ruthless and will always defend or cover for ‘the big boss’.
I had an supv who would always stomped as she walked (in heels!) to appear assertive. It wasn’t that impressive.
An important element of Jeffrey Epstein's pattern of abuse and exploitation is that so many powerful people enabled it, and while we're probing the depths of Trump's depravity, alongside centering the victims of these crimes, we need to stress that people knew what Trump was doing and looked past it or hid it completely. There existed and still exists a whole ecosystem whereby the rich and powerful, mostly men, weaponize their power and influence over vulnerable women and girls. It's heartbreaking and infuriating.
Ask: what are they getting away with? Were black Africans expendable? Yes. Were native Americans expendable? Yes. Are black Americans expendable? Yes. Are young uneducated men expendable? Yes. Are poor, disabled, old and fat girls and women expendable?
The Save America Act will toss many women out, disenfranchise their voices from the vox populi, put them back where they belong.
We know enough to know that he should be removed from office and prosecuted. We also know that Republicans in the Senate and the House aren't man enough to do what's right, just macho poseurs who actually see nothing wrong with abuse of women. Pigs, all of them.
It's not only Republicans. Congress recently voted not to release allegations against them, regardless of party. I'm left almost the whole crowd, and I'm horrified. Also, it's become embarrassing to be white and male.
Another failure of leadership. Never forget Schumer and Jeffries take all of their cues from the DC consultant class, the people who work for the same billionaires that own Republicans. Epstein is the opportunity to burn Trump and a whole lot of others to the ground creating an opportunity to build something new and improved. The Democratic establishment has no interest in that. And that is why they don't have long to enjoy their offices. The base is pissed and will replace them.
Let's remember that the DNC has asserted its corporate "right" to choose the candidates. That was in a case against Debbie Wasserman Schultz over Bernie Sanders being shut out in 2016. It has nothing to do with the will of ordinary Democrats, much less the general public.
Take a random sampling of say, 100 teenage girls, and ask them basic questions like: "Has an adult male every looked at you in a funny way?" "Has an adult man ever said anything sexual that made you feel uncomfortable?" "Has an adult man ever touched you, by "accident" and apologized, like he did not mean to do it?" "Has an adult man every held you, even for a few seconds, by the arm or other part of your body?" "Has an adult male ever touched you in a sexual way (touched your breasts, bottom or genitals)?"
Although the percentages of "yes" may get less as you ask the more rape-y questions, by the end of the questions, you'll have your answer: teenage girls are targets and there are a lot of predators of different degrees out there.
Epstein and Twump are real predators, not amateurs. This 13-year-old girl is one of many MANY girls who are touched, used, raped, beaten, and more every fn day.
One thing we’ve known since the 90s (by accident) is there exists a strong connection between women’s health (anyone’s health actually) abuse & other trauma — particularly before age 18. The phrase we used in trainings was “The body remembers what the mind forgets.” Not only because people try to forget but because experiences of children are often minimized — they “won’t remember” or “don’t understand.”
A doctor tried to understand why people stopped the obesity program when they were making great progress. He did a voluntary phone survey of former patients & accidentally asked the wrong question. He got an answer about child sexual abuse. It turned out the wrong question was the right question. Childhood abuse & traumas are directly tied to life expectancy, physical & mental health if not balanced with factors for building resilience.
Trump needs to be arrested by state law enforcement for his crimes. If he is arrested by federal government, he will likely be pardoned by a future President. I think a Governor is less likely to pardon him.
Trump should be arrested for his crimes now. He would still be President while in prison if not removed by Congress or the Cabinet.
The DOJ - Federal Department of Corruption and the United States Supreme Court of Criminals do not care a President may be arrested for his crimes
Article 2, Section. 4. of Constitution
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors
There is a segment of the lazy hyper individualistic white patriarchal Christofascist Americans who will accept this from the Queens real estate mob boss sundowning as president because in their heart of hearts, he acts out what they really want to say and do. He does and says what they wish they could do if they had the money and the power. He is a sick dumb f*ck, but he is THEIR sick dumbf*ck. He is their avatar.
Love your wording! You articulate so many appropriate descriptions that, unfortunately, describe the "leaders" of our country today. These Americans must like all of this. It's the only way to explain why so many still support him. They claim to be outraged by sexual misconduct and warmongering and skyrocketing prices; but they support him while claiming family values and that they live by Christian principles. So, yes, I agree that "he acts out what they really want to say and do." I no longer give them the grace of claiming ignorance.
I once heard a someone say, (and I wish I could remember who it was) Donald Trump is a poor persons version of what a rich person does. It’s the reason no one wants to tax the rich - everyone wants to imagine being able to do whatever they want with all that money.
Knowing Trump as we do, it is impossible to believe that he didn't assault that young girl! Especially when you read the wink, wink, nudge, nudge comments of his to Epstein about liking them young. The fact that the GOP has refused to act on THIS when they were absolutely vicious with Hillary emails and Hunter's laptop is unforgivable and any woman who votes for a Republican who is guilty of this is being irresponsible. And almost a crime against women!
Yes, Trumps lifelong predation on young women is finally being documented in a way that we hope will lead to his imprisonment. But which crimes do we try first? The probable war crimes that he has ordered? The ongoing financial crimes that he is committing, having already been convicted of 34 counts of same?
His habit of being utterly lawless is and has been well known since he was a child. He was sent to military school because he was a “ problem child”. Trump is the prototypical Bad Seed. The world would be a better place if he had been exterminated like Kristi Noem’s puppy.
Something is missing in your expose Judd. Was the victim’s Mother someone famous and/or very wealthy? While its alleged Epstein blackmailed people, I thought it was politicians and captains of industry. If the mother was not of means, wouldn’t that possibly mean that there was another class of Epstein victims - the poor he extorted? Wouldn’t this deserve its own expose?
This story is not an isolated incident. There are many similar stories of parents who were either directly involved or who were blackmailed or extorted for very small amounts of money. Very sad
Virginia Guiffre's father was paid off by Epstein/Trump. She relates the story of her discovery of that in her book, and how it shocked her and broke her heart. Her own father was paid to look the other way. Of course, her father was a pig, a real pig.
IMO, The stories about wealthy people being blackmailed are assumptions. It is possible he didn’t need to do more than drop little remarks or hints about what he knew. If he was syphoning off money as their financial advisor that may have been just been ignored. Many of the wealthy did favors to get favors - especially donations for research or charities.
Abuse, particularly sexual abuse is about power. He used threats and promises as most predators do. When this first came to light FL law (as was common) criminalized “child prostitutes.” This was something another set of demons used to intimidate the victims — prosecutors. It is mentioned in the grand jury records where the prosecutor treated the victimized witness as though she was being cross-examined. Then the grand jurors questions followed in the same vein.
Having all those photos of famous people everywhere added to the appearance of being invulnerable & having power of their lives and their families. He held the promise of life saving treatment of one girl’s mother over her head. If she didn’t do as she was told he would stop paying. I’ve read he did this with other girls too.
He also used health to meddle in people’s lives or to impress them (like Leon Black). Health is very personal. He invaded their privacy by getting information from his medical pals about pts he sent.
We must keep chipping away at the Epstein files. Females are so tired of being preyed upon in this country, and because it keeps happening, there must be harsher punishments, better investigations, and more accountability. If we don't keep our focus on the E files, we are telling girls they don't matter, we are telling men they can feel entitled to the bodies and minds of females, we are continuing a substandard system of justice and extreme unfairness. This is not a "women's problem." Abortion is not a "women's problem." We are talking about your mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, nieces, students, co-workers... Ask a woman in your life about when she has been hassled or abused or harmed by a man. Ask her what things she wishes she could do but can't because she's a woman. Ask her when are times that she hasn't or doesn't feel safe. Make sure your daughter knows what is right and wrong behavior. Make sure she knows that there is no man who can hold power over her such that she can't speak up and protect herself. Make sure she doesn't go somewhere where she will be alone with a man she doesn't know. Make sure she knows that she does need to be on guard. Yeah, it sucks.
During the "MeToo" years, I realized I didn't have a conversation on this theme with my two daughters about what they experienced as girls or working women. In that moment, my opinion of how good a father I was slipped a couple notches.
It's never too late. Asking and listening is one of the best gifts we can give to people we care about. And maybe your daughters will tell you they couldn't imagine a better father!
I've read the outlines of your story before. Dozens of witnesses have come forward and aren't being heard by the authorities. There are already millions of items of evidence. The most recent allegation I've seen is that Epstein rented six storage units in various places to hide evidence in case of a police raid (from a source unknown to me). Why haven't any new charges been filed?
This nightmare needs to end with far more than words. The orange felon and his multibillionaire rapist associates should be dragged to prison, not having parties.
Clearly there is an innocent explanation. When Trump was allegedly forcing the girl's head into his crotch, he may have thought she was 18. Or, he knew she was 13 but forgot he had unzipped his pants and was actually teaching her a dance move.
There are so many ways this plays out that put him in the clear.
I mean, sure, he may have hit her in the face. But, and bear with me here, maybe he was playing charades and overzealously acting out the fight scene between Dmitri Fyodorovich and Fyodor over inheritance and Dmitri's love for Grushenka when he was promised to Katerina Ivanovna, in Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karazimov".
Why does the whacko TDS media not consider this angle?
Robert, Use the TV show, Dallas, as a template for Twump's actions. Makes more sense at the time and for the person. He skipped out on Russian Lit in school. Maybe could reference Boris and Natasha?
How about his analysis of the Declaration of Independence? Even my teen students would gasp at his words. Read the founding document calling for independence from a despot, uncaring and mentally ill king, please, if you haven't read it for a while. Shakespeare taught me human nature never changes. The Declaration of Independence shows how we must be diligent in our possession of freedom. Cause it feels like it is slip sliding away.
How long are we going to put up with this. Men are literally in charge of this country. Where are you? Are you ever going to do anything, one thing, to help the women? We are sick of this crap. Thanks for nothing, anyone of you who has any power and does nothing.

Men like squeaker Mike Johnson walk through the doors of a church on Sunday and do not explode into flames.
Love this! I'm going to keep that vision of Johnson exploding into flames in my head until I die!
Mike Johnson sold off his soul a long time ago.
This was my first thought. The known situation doesn't change, but details about the participation of Trump and others continue to come out.

I had an supv who would always stomped as she walked (in heels!) to appear assertive. It wasn’t that impressive.
Yes, kinda what I was trying to say, perhaps not well.
You're fine.
Sexual assault and rape are always about power, not sex. Some women attach themselves to power so they do not become victims of it.
An important element of Jeffrey Epstein's pattern of abuse and exploitation is that so many powerful people enabled it, and while we're probing the depths of Trump's depravity, alongside centering the victims of these crimes, we need to stress that people knew what Trump was doing and looked past it or hid it completely.

The Save America Act will toss many women out, disenfranchise their voices from the vox populi, put them back where they belong.
Much as Harvey Weinstein and Sean Combs had “friends,” staff members, bodyguards, etc, who protected them and enabled their abuses.
We know enough to know that he should be removed from office and prosecuted. We also know that Republicans in the Senate and the House aren't man enough to do what's right, just macho poseurs who actually see nothing wrong with abuse of women. Pigs, all of them.

They are trying to jam Janet Mills down the throats of the people of Maine. It doesn't seem to be working.
Take a random sampling of say, 100 teenage girls, and ask them basic questions like: "Has an adult male every looked at you in a funny way?"

It's exhausting that there's no accountability.
Trump needs to be arrested by state law enforcement for his crimes. If he is arrested by federal government, he will likely be pardoned by a future President. I think a Governor is less likely to pardon him.

Nice shadow reveal, Sarcastic Prophet.
Judd, Great reporting that the wealthy chose to hide.
There are a number of reasons in choosing to hiding this information. Probably an attitude of an empty soul - a right to anything one wants or
One could be blackmail… whatever their reasons….
They should be an held accountable, prosecuted and
put into a non country club prison for life.
Knowing Trump as we do, it is impossible to believe that he didn't assault that young girl! Especially when you read the wink, wink, nudge, nudge comments of his to Epstein about liking them young. The fact that the GOP has refused to act on THIS when they were absolutely vicious with Hillary emails and Hunter's laptop is unforgivable and any woman who votes for a Republican who is guilty of this is being irresponsible.

We are probably (maybe for our own good) not as imaginative as determined predators.

Clearly, he is reading quite widely, if both these texts, so different in character, purpose, intent, and style appeal to him equally.
How about his analysis of the Declaration of Independence? Even my teen students would gasp at his words. Read the founding document calling for independence from a despot, uncaring and mentally ill king, please, if you haven't read it for a while. Shakespeare taught me human nature never changes. The Declaration of Independence shows how we must be diligent in our possession of freedom. Cause it feels like it is slip sliding away.
I hope everyone is subscribing!!
trump is a repeat offender and anyone else would have been jailed and listed as 'sex-offender' for the public to see.
I hope he gets his someday before he's dead.
