    The damage control has started. The bad thing is I can see some people being ok with her statements.

    So the Republicans have gone from defending Trump to defending statutory r*pe in general. The law is really clear on what that is.

    Oh, they’re going the “explaining the difference between a pedophile, a hebephile, and a ephebophile” route. Let’s see if it works out for them.

    The age puberty starts has been dropping and it now occurs earlier than ever in recorded history

    But I imagine this fact actually appeals to conservatives and republicans

    Weeeeelllllll technically, that would make them ephebophiles. (Kelly is grabbing on to what ever she can to deflect). Medically, people sexually attracted to early to later teens. As far as what we know right now, there are no pedophiles, (pre-pubescent attraction) on the list. Though there might be a possibility. We just don’t know yet.

    In any case, rape most foul it most certainly was. And all of them need to be prosecuted and jailed for it. While being sued for every penny they have in civil court.

    The Narcissists Prayer

    That didn't happen.
    And if it did, it wasn't that bad. <----- We are here
    And if it was, that's not a big deal.
    And if it is, that's not my fault.
    And if it was, I didn't mean it.
    And if I did, you deserved it.
    

    progress at last

      Holy shit, I knew the clip from ages ago, but I’ve only recently gotten to know Gianmarco. Good to know my taste in comedy hasn’t changed. 😂

    Here it begins. Republicans will want to normalize pedophilia.

    These people are sick. Saying this is public should earn a person an automatic 48 hour mental welfare hold.

        “…and therefore marital rape cannot exist.” Didn’t Trump’s lawyers try to use that argument in his divorce case with Ivanka?

    Hebephilia vs. pedophilia? That’s a defense I’ve seen before. Didn’t work for creepy Internet boyz. Let’s see if it works for the Republican party.
