Our most nuanced political discourse now consists of hair splitting over the precise cutoff age of the victim for it to be considered pedophilia.

Of course there's a difference, and it's reflected in many state laws.
But . . . that isn't the point. Middle-aged men coercing sexually mature but underage girls into sex is still illegal, exploitative, and vile. "But they weren't 8-year-olds!" is a really weird thing to say.

MAGA/Trump = criminals, violent thugs, rapists, child rapists, racists, frauds, felons...
This is who people voted for. More than once & still support. This is who is running the US. Gaetz is just one example.

Starbucks baristas are on strike and the No Kings Alliance stands with them. Don’t shop at Starbucks while workers fight for fair pay, better staffing, and an end to union-busting. Power belongs to the people who make this country run: https://nocontractnocoffee.org/#pledge #NoContractNoCoffee #NoKings
We are invited to assume that the New York Times did not know what Epstein was telling Landon Thomas about Trump. I decline to extend that charity. If Epstein wanted the NYT to write about it, he should have made it about a Democrat and gotten a white nationalist hacker to leak it to them.
Also, DOJ has decided they don't like Aileen Cannon's decision letting Trump off on stealing documents after all. Jeebus this hearing was a massacre for DOJ, it looks like. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Your only possible response, when confronted with someone saying this, is to wait for them to finish, firmly state “What the actual fuck is wrong with you?” and leave the interview immediately.

Trump wants to Make America Great Again, but who can deny that America is great now?
As someone who has frequently defended free speech rights of sex workers and sex work advocates, it's completely unsurprising but nevertheless galling to be reminded once again how POWERFUL MEN talk fondly about sex work in private while demonizing it and pushing oppressive laws about it publicly.
Here’s a great way to decide if a gross old dude’s sexual encounter with a girl is inappropriate:
If she were your daughter or niece, and that guy started picking her up from school, would you be OK with it? If not, it’s probably because you know that 15 year old girls shouldn’t be getting shopped around to 40+ year old rich skeezes.

Not only do some anti-vaxxers not give a damn if their kids infect your kids with vaccine-preventable diseases, they even think they’re doing you a favor by “building natural immunity”. Of course they fail to acknowledge that natural immunity only applies if the infant survives the disease.
Fox 'Reports' On Epstein Emails Without Mentioning What's In Them

Okay, you're skeptical of AI, but hear me out, what if we produce an entire generation of students who are *all* the ones who did nothing in the group project?
Remember that the majority of anti-vaxxers are themselves vaccinated against diseases like polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and rubella. It’s only their kids they choose to put at risk.
Screw Tatooine: astronomers have found a binary star system where *both* stars have planets!
