Do you really still think there is some smoking gun in there that's going to make a shred of difference, and this isn't all just an endless smokescreen?

Ok. But like... there's evidence. Sorry you don't want to hear about it and we keep seeing more things every day because the justice department is covering for pedophiles. I'm sorry you're inconvenienced personally by this.

It's been interesting reading through the last few pages of this thread, garnering varying perspectives through layers of class, privilege, whiteness, and the one thing I'm going to offer is this: how one answers for the behaviors of the oppressed and their allies is how one would've answered over 300 centuries ago. And I know it's not right to attribute 21st Century mores to 18th Century morality, but, damn, people have been way too comfortable for far too long.

I understand where he's coming from. Take the latest trump 'bombshell' for instance - he was supposedly at some auction events and personally checked girls for 'tightness' - but dig in and it's basically some accusation from an unknown that didn't leave contact details and has no corroborating evidence and the FBI had already dismissed it as probably false. The media are doing their clickbait thing as per, but this will ultimately lead nowhere.
Don't get me wrong, I would love for some truly damning stuff to come out - and hopefully it eventually will - but there's an awful lot of noise without substance going on.
