I think she will end up testifying if jail is the alternative. Her testimony will be full of "I don't recall" and pleading the 5th.

particularly when there's pics and letters to prove otherwise.. now she demanding the damning evidence be deleted and apologies given...if this was her attempt to deflect from Trump's catastrophic war I'd say she succeeded...

and while her pathetic attempt to downplay her history with the two notorious pedophiles/traffickers was a bust, she said nothing about her hubby's sleazy relationship with Epstein and Maxwell...

P.S. Melanoma... just so you know..the internet is forever!!!

It was the one that caught my attention most. I would be shocked if this weren’t true. She was 13.
Where are those anon creeps? This has to be one of the worst stories in even this pile. Like this cannot be normalized.

The status of women is already in the fucking toilet. Just no. This…cannot..be..normalized.

Lawyer for Trump Sex Accuser, 13, Demands President Testify Under Oath

Bloom, in a statement to the Daily Beast, referenced Melania Trump’s shocking press statement, where she denied having any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes—or any relationship with the disgraced financier.

“While Melania Trump seems primarily concerned about her own reputation today, she does call for congressional hearings. We agree,” said Bloom. “And the man who is mentioned probably more than anyone else in the Epstein files should be subpoenaed to testify: Donald Trump.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.



My own brain is reeling under outrage fatigue like most these days. But : 1) I really feel for these women who are truly screwed over by any standard and 2) logically this is kind of a line in the sand.

They are going to bring back child marriage at this rate. I don’t even care often about a lot of the bs that causes firestorms of phony internet outrage I saw over the years which I actually directly tie to the loss of a kind of sensitivity in the collective zeitgeist where constant outrage about bullshit is leading to this sort of yawning normalization of truly vile behavior like this.

All I could think of, watching her deliver her remarks was - “looks like she’s had ‘work’ done.”

Hey, I used to cover Hollywood. There was ALWAYS an undercurrent of that kind of thinking (AND “doing”).
