Well that’s the point isn’t it? People can make allegations if they please at any time to smear anyone over anything…so many years or even decades later when it is next to impossible to substantiate…and the mere suggestion of wrong doing lingers in people’s minds, like a stain, regardless of legitimacy. Isn’t the smear the point in some instances? Sadly, yes. There’s a reason the accused is supposed to get a timely day at court…and isn’t that also best for the majority of victims?

I believe Epstein was a despicable person. I believe he assaulted myriad underage girls and also of age ladies. I also think he was blackmailing ppl and that he was furious with Trump for working with LEO against him. Maybe even obsessed. I don’t think newsworthy people having pictures at public events is necessarily a “gotcha” moment. It certainly does not mean ppl are “friends” or even “friendly.”

Do I think all women should be believed? I don’t think so. Should credible allegations of wrongdoing be taken seriously and properly investigated? Absolutely. Waiting for decades to make allegations seems wrong to me…and it puts the victim in a difficult place.

With regards to Trump…I don’t know him and have never met him. I read and listen to his words and place much more weight on his actions that I see as a constituent …both recent and historical. Despite how he runs his mouth, like any New Yorker, he doesn’t impress me as someone who’d do the things being wildly and loosely alleged. Also, not if he’s a germaphobe and not if he doesn’t do drugs and doesn’t drink booze. His stance on most political and societal issues has been pretty consistent for decades.
