But when it comes to men preying on teenagers, those abused over a certain age is maybe not as bad. See what she did here? Don’t let this toxic termagant do it.

I am even more incandescently furious about this heinous take by Megyn Kelly stack ranking levels of child sexual abuse. Take note: when a young person under 18 wants to begin transitioning with help of their doctor and parent, she loudly proclaims them children and attacks.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

On this day in 1946, Viola Desmond's car broke down in New Glasgow, NS. She went to a movie and sat in a Whites-Only area. Her refusal to move helped spark the modern Canadian civil rights movement.

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

On a Zoom last night, I was asked why I still engage with Trump’s MAGA base every day. He said they can’t be reached. I said I engage with them daily bcuz I used to be MAGA, and some ARE reachable. I don’t move thousands off Trump every week, but I do move a few off him every week. So it’s worth it.
