    Other than the overwhelming preponderance of evidence, there’s little reason to suspect him.

      He was just running it for himself, and powerful men happened to benefit and use it. But it was FOR himself. Problem solved right?

        Nothing inspires trust like fbi boss crazyeyes. Once he got done with raiding fulton county election offices on completely not false election rigging allegations at the behest of the person that was not himself the one trying to rig it. Trust.

    That’s because technically there were powerful women involved too.

        Other than all of the obvious horrible takeaways from the Epstein files, it’s really incredible to see how overwhelmingly stupid all of these powerful rich shits are. This dude’s out here acting all philosophical about trans people while fundamentally misunderstanding multiple aspects of how hormones actually affect people. Also, there is plenty of trans men porn, you just aren’t seeing it because you have a fetish for trans women, not because it doesn’t exist. Idiot freaks.

        If I didn’t know the source I would think this was taken from some seedy porn forum.

          This is the shit you would read on /b/ at 2am on a Thursday in 2007 while two users have what they think is a “deep” conversation in the middle of one-handed browsing.
