The discussion on the ACA is still ongoing. Thank you to Dave Miller and commenters for participating in the exchange of ideas.
I've interrupted it this afternoon because this is being reported everywhere because of the damning information included in the reports.
We do know from ample evidence that Trump and Melania partied with Epstein and Maxwell for decades. It is not a stretch to believe that both of them, but especially Trump, knew what was going on in Epstein's mansions in New York and Palm Beach. Trump and Epstein were, after all, very close friends.
The emails in the NPR report linked below confirm what everyone suspected: It appears that Trump was part of the criminal activity that Epstein and Maxwell were involved in with underage girls.
Read the article and decide for yourselves.
New Epstein emails appear to reveal more Trump ties November 12, 20258:30 AM ET
"Another email Epstein sent in 2011 to Ghislane Maxwell, his associate who was also convicted on trafficking charges, called Trump the "dog that hasn't barked"* and says Trump spent "hours at my house" with one of the alleged sex trafficking victims.
The last email shared is a 2019 message between Epstein and Wolff in which the disgraced financier wrote that 'of course [Trump] knew about the girls as he asked Ghislane to stop." The email does not elaborate any further.' "
*The phrase "a dog that hasn't barked" means that the absence of an expected action or evidence is itself a form of evidence. The concept originates from a Sherlock Holmes story where a dog's silence about an intruder reveals that the intruder was someone the dog knew.
In modern usage, it can be a tool for critical thinking to identify what isn't obvious, such as finding hidden insights in data or understanding why a certain group or individual has remained silent on an issue.

Trump literally bragged about getting by with assaulting women and about ogling contestants changing clothes backstage at Miss Teen USA pageants. Girls who were as young as 15 at the time and half naked when he barged in on them. He was judged to be guilty of sexual assault/rape in a court of law. Epstein was his good buddy for many years. ("And some of them were on the younger side.") There's really no mystery here. He told us who he is years ago.
And the Evangelical Christians believe he's just like Jesus.
tRump is certainly not like Jesus was reported to be. A Radical Jewish Rabbi whose views and teachings stand solidly against everything the KSoA stands for.
Everyone knows what tRump is and always has been. Regardless wether they acknowledge it or not... an indecent, unethical, and immoral person having great trouble with the truth.
But America apparently prefers sleeping to awakening to reality. So, they elected AND then reelected tRump even after seeing his incompetence the first time. Yet MAGAts still worship him.
tRump is as guilty as hell with respect to activities he engaged in with Epstein and his GF. Eventually the floodgates will open and maybe actual justice will then be saved upon Amerik's insurrectionist and sexual predator.
“... Epstein wrote in a 2019 email to Michael Wolff … ‘[O]f course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop.’”
Think about that. Trump was POTUS, knew about sex trafficking and rape of underage girls by Epstein and Maxwell, and did nothing about it. But he’s threatening to indict former President Obama and had his DoJ open an investigation about him. Trump has sicced his DoJ on former FBI Director, Comey, as well as New York DA, Leticia James in retribution for perceived injustices committed against him.
I no longer recognize this country.
The White House, including the DOJ and President Trump himself are going crazy trying to deflect the reality of the Epstein files.
Here's the reality...
It does not look as if President Trump was involved with underage girls. But the evidence and the files suggest he was aware and not talking [the "dog that hasn't barked"].
Look, given social media, the clumsy attempts by the admin to deflect attention from this, after calling for full disclosure and Trump's penchant for falsehoods, this is a cake baked to really hard the Trump presidency.
Right now I'd like to see a positive defense related to the Epstein files from MAGA conservatives. One that does not mention the names Clinton, Obama or Biden. Just a straight up defense of Trump's desire to keep these files from being released.
When I wrote this and posted "It appears that Trump was part of the criminal activity that Epstein and Maxwell were involved in with underage girls." What I meant is that Trump had to have known what Epstein & Maxwell were doing with those underage girls. AND TRUMP NEVER REPORTED IT TO THE AUTHORITIES. Sex trafficking and statutory rape of children are against the law.
We have no hard evidence that Trump participated in those crimes, but we DO KNOW that he (and Melania) partied with E. & M., and most certainly knew what was going on.
And while it is not a crime for the general public to fail to report suspected sex trafficking, one must pause and reflect on the fact that the present POTUS and his wife were best friends and partied with both Epstein & Maxwell for years, and had to know what was going on ( "...and some are on the younger side." is most frequently cited as part of a quote attributed to Trump regarding Epstein) and did nothing about it.
That says volumes about Trump's and Melania's moral compass.
As someone called a sex trafficker because of my status as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I am invested in the release of the Epstein records. Time to release the facts. It is what the GOP campaigned on for years. This is what they threw at me and mine every time the rights for the LGBTQIA+ community was in the news.
Fun fact I learned today - when the White House called Lauren Boebert in for a conversation about her Epstein file vote they didn't meet in the Oval Office. They freaking had her meeting in the freaking situation room. Yeah, the same room where presidents have watched over the most serious of serious missions. Intimidation much?
I am also reminded at this time that it's not always the crime that catches the criminal but the coverup.
Why anyone believes anything tRump says is beyond me. He has constructedd, in his own delusional mind, the reality he wants to live it. Not reality as it is.
He is well known for being unread, so somehow he received Orwell's opinions via telepathy?
As the old Bard noted, "doth protest too much methinks'. But 'tis OK, he can just pardon himself.
