> let's rewind time 30 years, where the presidential sex scandal was singular, consensual, and was actually a scandal
You're right: now we learned that same ex-president was frequenting Epstein's island. Did that ex- president have sex with trafficked women (Ghislaine Maxwell is in jail for sex-trafficking and she was a known friend of the Clintons btw) on Epstein's island? Was it consensual?
I’m a huge fan of “be that as it may” to stop arguments that are essentially “yeah, but…!” This is a prime example.
BE THAT AS IT MAY, that’s not what we are talking about. This isn’t a Facebook comments section.
Don't worry. The current president is mentioned in those files "over a million times" according to a congressperson.
Thankfully nothing will be done, of course. Rome truly is in decline
The point remains. Back then, one ordinary affair was a scandal. Now, the president can rape many little girls and throw the resulting babies out to sea and nothing happens to him, it's not a scandal.
