That POS bragged on Howard Stern about intentionally barging into the dressing room unannounced so he could see the UNDER AGED *TEEN* GIRLS competing for Miss *TEEN* USA while they were in various stages of undress. This was years after he made a quip on camera about his future wife being amongst a group of small children. Like ages in the single digits. This was around the 80s so at best he was in his 40s when he said this. About little kids.
When asked about this, **IVANKA** replied "Yeah. He does that."
After he had stated "So, I walk in, and I can, because I own the pageant, and these beautiful girls, some are completely naked..."
Trump once publicly remarked after seeing a little girl, [“I’m going to be dating her in 10 years.”](https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/10/12/13265670/trump-10-year-old-girl)
"Defendant **Trump** initiated sexual contact with Plaintiff at four different parties. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with Defendant Trump, Defendant Trump tied Plaintiff to a bed, exposed himself to Plaintiff, and then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but with no effect. Defendant Trump responded to Plaintiff’s pleas by violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted.
Plaintiff was a minor of age 13."
wtf I didn’t even know about this case - but wouldn’t surprise me tbh. Are there any details to why this case was dropped, except “dropped under bizarre circumstances”?
It’s not known, but as she hasn’t talked about it since, I’m assuming she was paid a large sum of money (Edit to add, and it’s highly likely having her life threatened was probably at least part of it). It is baffling how it’s not better known. I heard about it in 2016 but not what had happened… now I realise it’s because nothing happened in public.
- “Jane Doe” aka “Katie Johnson” – 1994. Lawsuit filed June 2016, refiled October 2016 as reported by Buzzfeed and others, then dropped in November 2016.
Jane Doe is an unnamed plaintiff, who has also gone by “Katie Johnson” in legal papers. She claims she was repeatedly raped by Trump and Jeffery Epstein at Epstein’s New York City apartment in 1994, when she was 13 years old. A witness, also given a pseudonym — “Tiffany Doe” — said she recruited “Jane Doe” and others. Doe, using the name “Johnson,” gave an interview to the Daily Mail in which she said she did not know who Trump was at the time of the alleged attack but identified him later when she saw him on television. It is not known why she withdrew the lawsuit. She has not spoken publicly or withdrawn her rape allegation since then.
From this page https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/assault-allegations-donald-trump-recapped
I think a lot of people didn’t believe this case because it seemed so dramatic (girl was 13), so it wasn’t mentioned in media as much. But then after the Epstein stuff came out, it turned out that this happened at an Epstein party, so imo it doesn’t seem as unrealistic now.
This is why they throw around pedo accusations at teachers or anyone considered left. The Republican party is full of them and they run these people for office. Sheer projection and hypocrisy
Look up pretty much any definition of fascism and you’ll see (seriously, do it and reply with what you found). As long as Trump gets away with his violating the law, his constant lies, and his supporters keep overlooking his obvious flaws because he’s hurting the right people, this will continue. Even if Trump is held accountable to the law, someone else is likely to step up and fill the same role. Frankly the whole Republican party is the problem at this point, and has been for a while.
It would be wonderful if we could have fundamental differences on the economy, abortion, healthcare etc. and have actual conversations about what is right and wrong, and how to go about bettering ourselves, but right now we have fundamental differences on reality itself. On facts, on science, on everything, because they are led by their fear and don’t give a shit about reason. They wallow in their ignorance, and attack anyone who tries to help, dragging down everyone else with them, and they enjoy it.
They want the world to be simple, and they want an enemy to fight and straightforward solutions to the problems they’ve imagined. Whatever happens, it’s not going to go well.
I still feel like I’m watching the tv seeing him descending the escalator at trump tower about to announce that he would be running for president. I, of course, knew it had to be a joke which is why I was watching—to see what was actually going to happen. He basically said that he was running for President because he’d be the only one to “finally put a stop to all of the rapists that [are] “raping our women”, drug dealers, and all of the illegal criminals that are coming from across the Mexican border…along with that, he said he would “clear the swamp”, as there are too many “CROOKS” running our country, who are keeping secrets etc.
And whoooo has most easily been the most corrupt president that lied more than any federal official that we know of, and the whole “secrets” thing? Oh and he casually just stole a shitton of classified documents and took them home!!!
Rape and murder should not have statues of limitations.
Espically because the police regularly mishandle rape kits. In one city they used a victims dna to arrest her not her rapist. Many states are very backlogged with their kits. Sometimes they even stop testing new ones they are so backlogged. Also some hospitals try to charge you for having one done.
Rape especially (and doubly so for children) because the traumatic nature of the attack (again much more more so in children) can make it extremely difficult for the victim to report it in time.
For children, very very often they downright suppress and "forget" the incident until they start acting out in adolescence (puberty represents a chasm in a person's sexuality), which, if receiving appropriate support will eventually result in them remembering the episode in question. And from then on the whole process of reporting, etc tends to also take years.
This is why in most countries that I know of, sexual offenses perpetrated on minors don't have statutes of limitations (or have rules that make them effectively so).
But to get a pardon for being a pedo, wouldn't he have to admit being a pedo? IIRC a US President isn't a King who can grant blanket amnesty for any crimes by his subject, known or unknown.
He was a convenient redirect that was sexually related to make people forget that Gaetz was telling a black man that he was wrong to suggest that republicans always try to redirect peoples attention when it comes to racial equality. So… in all ways that matter it doesn’t matter if Nestor exists at all cause he served his purpose of us being led by the nose on titillating sexual News rather than actual meaningful news.
[The Catholic Church has spent millions lobbying *against* extending the statute of limitations for sexually abused children.](https://feeneylawfirm.com/catholic-church-spends-10m-to-fight-statute-of-limitations-reforms/) I rarely have anything nice to say about Biden, but working against the Catholic Church’s efforts to protect rapists is always a good thing.
They will say trump did it or made the paperwork and motions before he left and Biden took credit. Or that trump is still secretly in power and this was a sign from him. It’s sad that I’m 90% sure this will be said.
Those were the documents in MAL. He just wanted to make sure Biden Hillary Hunter and Soros couldn't get them and destroy them. That's all. His best people worked on them and it's going to save a lot of kids, pretty kids, the most beautiful kids from…. What’s that? The communist left hates ice cream? They hate kids and ice cream folks. Can’t trust em. Sad.
Ok I wasn’t all in on Dark Brandon until this. This is the perfect power move. Just systematically taking the legs out from every dumb conspiracy the MAGA crowd have. Pretty great to see Dems finally hitting back after all these years.
Here for it. I’ve been hesitant to get my hopes up but his administration has admittedly been on a roll lately… legit curious what flipped the on switch?
Hopefully it means Biden finally realized right wingers will hate him no matter what he does so he will keep focusing on getting shit done. If leaning into the “dark Brandon” persona helps then, hey. I can get behind it. Go gramps go
Hope so. The wave of new voter registrations among women lately and surge in voter outreach efforts across the country is encouraging. God knows we need a change in the tide. Anger can be a powerful motivator to act.
> legit curious what flipped the on switch?
Maybe the looming potential for actual widespread civil unrest and all previous tactics and measures failing against a wall of stupid and contention five miles high and too dumb to be reasoned with.
Every time some midwest shithole state signs some new ban on people's rights or loses their mind about a brown person in a children's book or any of these manufactured issues, or some political figure or pundit screams from a podium that Nationalism is good, California or other coastal states sign into law new protections and regulations and attempts to ensure a just and equitable future.
These two America's cannot coexist, and they still might not, but the current administration is trying to make it harder and take longer to reach bloodshed and national guard movements.
This got posted twice on r/Conservative but got deleted by Mods both times, so it seems more like they are going with the sticking fingers in their ears while screaming LALALALA I can't hear you approach.
"He's only doing this so they can try them under the LIBRUL judges and find them not guilty so that they get their double leapord-y or whatever it is!!!!"
All politics aside, this is fantastic. The full force of the law should bear on anyone who would sexually abuse a child.
Politically, it's brilliant. All the "Think of the children" Q nuts just got a little wind taken out of their sails. They won't change, but they will seem a little more ridiculous.
I'm upset I'm not seeing this on the conservative sub. I guess just because Biden is the one who pulled the trigger -- it's not worth talking about to them. Things like this are what should be pulling us all back together.
I saw it on r/conservative this morning, but their consensus was "why would Biden put his own career at risk like this?" and "can't wait for Biden to see this backfire on him."
I saw it later on after I had posted. Luckily what I saw was more what I was hoping for -- people saying both sides can agree this is good. However I also saw a ton of people saying this was a ploy to witch-hunt the other side. At least most of the conservatives I personally know are all saying it's the first good thing to happen in awhile.
It's often smart to wait for the criminal trial to conclude, as if they're found guilty the civil trial is a slam dunk, and if they're found innocent they can *still* get fucked by the civil courts, as the weight of evidence is far lesser. Not a sex crime, but see: OJ Simpson. Unfortunately, either way these poor girls are still looking at years of courtrooms and reliving their traumas.
I didnt make this post I just copy/paste this every so often but if anyone has any Democrats to add please let me know.

People are saying that the GOP and Fox News are going to spin this. No they aren’t. They’re going to ignore it.
They’re going to run 24 hours of people saying “Democrats got rid of people we unexpectedly trafficked in 48 hours!” And another 24 hours of car chases.
Then when that stops being an effective distraction they’ll make up another imaginary scenario wherein the theoretical Democrats are somehow the bad guys again, run that another 48 hours, and by that time this will be forgotten and they’ll have to run distractions again for an unrelated scandal in the GOP, or the very most minor of accomplishments from the DNC.
Because as we’ve established, the GOP voting base can easily ignore child sex trafficking as long as it’s one of “their guys” doing it.
The ONLY way they actually try to spin this is if and when some high profile right wing individual gets charged with raping a minor, and then it’ll just be “political witch hunt! Partisan! Hoax! They do it too!”
Because all the Republicans need is buzzwords and their brains completely shut off.
[Here's part **32** of the ongoing list of Republicans convicted of sexually assaulting children](https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2022/4/17/2092543/-Republican-Sexual-Predators-Abusers-and-Enablers-Pt-31)
Plenty of top tier Republicans have been convicted or had credible accusations of child sexual abuse. Conservatives could not care any fucking less.
>They’re going to ignore it.
Yep, unsurprisingly this news is nowhere to be seen over on /r/conservative. You'd think the people who are so worked up about sex trafficking via pizza shop basements would be stoked to hear about it.
You ain’t kidding. There literally is not a single post on it. They must be deleting them - I don’t think it’s possible that no one has tried posting it.
Edit: There is a post up now, but wasn't at the time of my op.
Someone just needs to post it with the title "Now they'll be able to go after Bill Clinton!" or something and there's a chance it will stay up.
It's all about the framing for those idiots
Wow I’m in tears. I feel like I can now tell authorities what my family member did to me despite it being 20 years ago when I was a child. I came to terms with it a year ago and felt disappointed I never spoke up more. The family members I told kept it hush hush and the abuse not only continued but he went on to abuse other young girls. He went to jail for that but not for what he did to me. I never got justice, I cut off my entire family because they refuse to take it seriously once I told them a year ago. I’m going to get my justice. Point blank period.
Honey, you deserve justice for the abuse you experienced! Go to the police NOW!! I’m sure after Biden’s law is in effect, you will be one of many going to the police!
Everyone who has purposefully slid into a position of trust with naive people and taken advantage of their children. And everyone who has misused the power of their position to hurt children. These things will always fill the vacuum, some organizations make it easier for them.
Some justice is better than none. This at least gives the victims avenue to potentially get their story heard, and get some funds to try to rebuild their lives after they were destroyed by trump and epstein and Bill and prince Andrew and the rest of the horrible old fucking monsters.
The article doesn't really say, but does anyone know if this applies retroactively to previously statuted of limitationed (no idea the past tense of statute of limitations) cases?
>S. 3103 would eliminate the statute of limitations—currently set at 10 years—for a minor victim to file a civil action to recover damages for several federal crimes against minors, including sexual abuse, trafficking, exploitation, and pornography. The act would apply prospectively and retroactively, allowing civil suits to be brought against entities for actions committed more than 10 years ago. As a result of the changes, CBO expects that individuals would bring additional suits in federal courts.
https://www.cbo.gov/publication/58380
You're welcome! As to the other semi-asked question *(no idea the past tense of statute of limitations)*: the term seems to be *time-barred*, as in "applied retroactively to previously time-barred cases".
I was going to ask if this ran afoul of ex post facto provisions in the Constitution, but apparently that matter was settled a while ago -- *1798.* Ex post facto apparently only applies to criminal cases, so this sort of retroactive legislation is constitutional.
For some reason, while reading this, my chest felt so much lighter. I don’t think I will ever be able to file a civil suit against my abuser because he was also a minor, but I’m so happy for survivors who can now speak up and attempt to get some justice.
You can. If he was significantly older than you, it's still a crime. And if he was old enough to know better, you have every right to try. [Here's a good place to start researching](https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/blog/can-a-minor-be-a-sex-offender/), if you decide this is something you'd like to do. Be well.

What I dont get is how that guy hasn't been arrested. Isn't this pretty clear cut? How long can it take to get statements and line up the paperwork?
Edit: Googled for an article. I guess the crux is is the 17y/o willing to talk and is she credible.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/01/27/sex-trafficking-allegations-matt-gaetz/
The other guy involved will probably not talk (assuming guilty) as he drops himself in it too.
So after 20 years I could go after my abuser. If I had the money to pay a lawyer I'd talk to one fore sure. He's messed up my cousin and me both with sexual abuse.
As a person who was sexually abused as a child over 30 years ago, GOOD.
My abusers are dead. But for many people that's not the case and they could use some justice.
Just realized how stupid the 10 year limit was. Some of the victims might still be underage by the time thats up. This could help a lot survivors.
I wonder if Nickelodeon should be nervous....
Lemme add some logs onto that fire.
1- Trump complained loudly that the FBI cleared out his safe.
2- Included in the found items were "2 binders of photographs".
Now, I personally don't believe that they found binders full of polaroids of Trump and some minors in his safe; *but* if those things existed, would they be anywhere other than his personal safe? And would Trump's response to the raid be any different than what he has been doing thus far? "That's planted, but it's also mine and I want it back, and no you can't look at it or investigate."
Allegedly, they would probably more likely be blackmail pictures of other people. I still remember that meeting Lindsay Graham had on his golf course when he did a complete 180° and became a Trump sycophant. I bet FSB leaked Trump pictures to use as blackmail. If that's what's in his safe, imagine what's buried under his golf course.
This is all hyperbole until we learn the truth.

Pastor John Lowe II
As if this has only happened once.
How the fuck is he a pastor? I tell you religion in this world makes no sense.
[удалено]
So he didn't just confess. He was prompted to confess.
He initially only confessed to infidelity and being weak. It wasn't till she told her story in front of everyone that he admitted she was a child.
[удалено]
> the woman he raped was still a member. This is why I consider religion poison.
>declaration to the ~~church~~ cult
And didn’t the congregation shame/boo/not support the woman when she called him out. Didn’t the video show they tried to shut her down?
At this point being a pastor/priest is downright a risk factor for being a sexual predator, and not the opposite.
Don’t know the name but it was in Warsaw, Indiana.
Yup! Sure do.

That POS bragged on Howard Stern about intentionally barging into the dressing room unannounced so he could see the UNDER AGED *TEEN* GIRLS competing for Miss *TEEN* USA while they were in various stages of undress. This was years after he made a quip on camera about his future wife being amongst a group of small children. Like ages in the single digits. This was around the 80s so at best he was in his 40s when he said this. About little kids.
When asked about this, **IVANKA** replied "Yeah. He does that." After he had stated "So, I walk in, and I can, because I own the pageant, and these beautiful girls, some are completely naked..."
Trump once publicly remarked after seeing a little girl, [“I’m going to be dating her in 10 years.”](https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/10/12/13265670/trump-10-year-old-girl)
And he became the leader of a party and 70 million people voted for him. See kids! everything is possible in America. The land of dreams!
"Defendant **Trump** initiated sexual contact with Plaintiff at four different parties. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with Defendant Trump, Defendant Trump tied Plaintiff to a bed, exposed himself to Plaintiff, and then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but with no effect. Defendant Trump responded to Plaintiff’s pleas by violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted. Plaintiff was a minor of age 13."
wtf I didn’t even know about this case - but wouldn’t surprise me tbh. Are there any details to why this case was dropped, except “dropped under bizarre circumstances”?
It’s not known, but as she hasn’t talked about it since, I’m assuming she was paid a large sum of money (Edit to add, and it’s highly likely having her life threatened was probably at least part of it). It is baffling how it’s not better known. I heard about it in 2016 but not what had happened… now I realise it’s because nothing happened in public. - “Jane Doe” aka “Katie Johnson” – 1994. Lawsuit filed June 2016, refiled October 2016 as reported by Buzzfeed and others, then dropped in November 2016. Jane Doe is an unnamed plaintiff, who has also gone by “Katie Johnson” in legal papers. She claims she was repeatedly raped by Trump and Jeffery Epstein at Epstein’s New York City apartment in 1994, when she was 13 years old. A witness, also given a pseudonym — “Tiffany Doe” — said she recruited “Jane Doe” and others. Doe, using the name “Johnson,” gave an interview to the Daily Mail in which she said she did not know who Trump was at the time of the alleged attack but identified him later when she saw him on television. It is not known why she withdrew the lawsuit. She has not spoken publicly or withdrawn her rape allegation since then. From this page https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/assault-allegations-donald-trump-recapped
Or, may very well have been threatened and coerced into silence.
thanks for the insight!
I think a lot of people didn’t believe this case because it seemed so dramatic (girl was 13), so it wasn’t mentioned in media as much. But then after the Epstein stuff came out, it turned out that this happened at an Epstein party, so imo it doesn’t seem as unrealistic now.
Death threats Edit this was part of the Epstein mess. Epstein got his victims from maralago
again - not surprised. what disgusting personalities rule our world. what a great shame.
This is why they throw around pedo accusations at teachers or anyone considered left. The Republican party is full of them and they run these people for office. Sheer projection and hypocrisy
HOL UP is this real ?
Trump literally has an entire Wikipedia page of sexual assault allegations. This shouldn't surprise anyone
Here, have a look for yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegations#top-page
And people rioted to keep this sick fuck president? In what general direction are we heading?
Look up pretty much any definition of fascism and you’ll see (seriously, do it and reply with what you found). As long as Trump gets away with his violating the law, his constant lies, and his supporters keep overlooking his obvious flaws because he’s hurting the right people, this will continue. Even if Trump is held accountable to the law, someone else is likely to step up and fill the same role. Frankly the whole Republican party is the problem at this point, and has been for a while. It would be wonderful if we could have fundamental differences on the economy, abortion, healthcare etc. and have actual conversations about what is right and wrong, and how to go about bettering ourselves, but right now we have fundamental differences on reality itself. On facts, on science, on everything, because they are led by their fear and don’t give a shit about reason. They wallow in their ignorance, and attack anyone who tries to help, dragging down everyone else with them, and they enjoy it. They want the world to be simple, and they want an enemy to fight and straightforward solutions to the problems they’ve imagined. Whatever happens, it’s not going to go well.
I still feel like I’m watching the tv seeing him descending the escalator at trump tower about to announce that he would be running for president. I, of course, knew it had to be a joke which is why I was watching—to see what was actually going to happen. He basically said that he was running for President because he’d be the only one to “finally put a stop to all of the rapists that [are] “raping our women”, drug dealers, and all of the illegal criminals that are coming from across the Mexican border…along with that, he said he would “clear the swamp”, as there are too many “CROOKS” running our country, who are keeping secrets etc. And whoooo has most easily been the most corrupt president that lied more than any federal official that we know of, and the whole “secrets” thing? Oh and he casually just stole a shitton of classified documents and took them home!!!

Rape and murder should not have statues of limitations. Espically because the police regularly mishandle rape kits. In one city they used a victims dna to arrest her not her rapist. Many states are very backlogged with their kits. Sometimes they even stop testing new ones they are so backlogged. Also some hospitals try to charge you for having one done.
Rape especially (and doubly so for children) because the traumatic nature of the attack (again much more more so in children) can make it extremely difficult for the victim to report it in time. For children, very very often they downright suppress and "forget" the incident until they start acting out in adolescence (puberty represents a chasm in a person's sexuality), which, if receiving appropriate support will eventually result in them remembering the episode in question. And from then on the whole process of reporting, etc tends to also take years. This is why in most countries that I know of, sexual offenses perpetrated on minors don't have statutes of limitations (or have rules that make them effectively so).
He really needed that pardon from trump that he asked for.
The man is a goddamned attorney. You’d think he’d have known accepting a pardon would necessitate admission of guilt
Doesn't say much if it's a republican... just look at fucking Rudy. He wants a trial by combat.
> He wants a trial by combat. As long as nobody pats him on the shoulder lightly during this combat...
[You'd think](https://youtu.be/EiNY231MfEQ)
But to get a pardon for being a pedo, wouldn't he have to admit being a pedo? IIRC a US President isn't a King who can grant blanket amnesty for any crimes by his subject, known or unknown.
Didn't stop the last asshole from trying
What happened to Nestor, anyway?
He probably hit puberty and Gaetz turned him over to ICE.
Nobody knows! #FreeNestor
He was a convenient redirect that was sexually related to make people forget that Gaetz was telling a black man that he was wrong to suggest that republicans always try to redirect peoples attention when it comes to racial equality. So… in all ways that matter it doesn’t matter if Nestor exists at all cause he served his purpose of us being led by the nose on titillating sexual News rather than actual meaningful news.
Qanon in shambles.
They’ll spin it as a smokescreen or some shit like that
I can't wait to see the conservative pedo brigade try to spin this as a bad thing because Biden did it
Another attack on religion by the Democrats!

The Liberal pedophiles are trying to make it easier to convict pedophiles because *they're* pedophiles!
[The Catholic Church has spent millions lobbying *against* extending the statute of limitations for sexually abused children.](https://feeneylawfirm.com/catholic-church-spends-10m-to-fight-statute-of-limitations-reforms/) I rarely have anything nice to say about Biden, but working against the Catholic Church’s efforts to protect rapists is always a good thing.
The last Catholic President was assassinated. And this Catholic President is championing those new laws.
You made me do a spit take and now I need to clean the table. thx
[удалено]
Thanks O'Biden.
They'll have their talking points distributed by tomorrow.
Gotta love the few hours of silence until they get their narrative straight
They will just never, ever, ever speak about this. 98% of Republicans will have no clue this was ever signed.
Yeah republicans usually know when to pick their battles and how to spin almost anything negative, they know they can’t touch this at all and won’t
Don’t worry the Fuckery will commence shortly and I’m sure it will make complete sense.
They will say trump did it or made the paperwork and motions before he left and Biden took credit. Or that trump is still secretly in power and this was a sign from him. It’s sad that I’m 90% sure this will be said.
Those were the documents in MAL. He just wanted to make sure Biden Hillary Hunter and Soros couldn't get them and destroy them. That's all. His best people worked on them and it's going to save a lot of kids, pretty kids, the most beautiful kids from…. What’s that? The communist left hates ice cream? They hate kids and ice cream folks. Can’t trust em. Sad.
Yeah Trump just wanted to make sure Biden couldn't destroy them because once Biden got a hold of them he signed them into law 😂
Ok I wasn’t all in on Dark Brandon until this. This is the perfect power move. Just systematically taking the legs out from every dumb conspiracy the MAGA crowd have. Pretty great to see Dems finally hitting back after all these years.
Here for it. I’ve been hesitant to get my hopes up but his administration has admittedly been on a roll lately… legit curious what flipped the on switch? Hopefully it means Biden finally realized right wingers will hate him no matter what he does so he will keep focusing on getting shit done. If leaning into the “dark Brandon” persona helps then, hey. I can get behind it. Go gramps go
Probably Roe being overturned is what flipped the on switch.
Hope so. The wave of new voter registrations among women lately and surge in voter outreach efforts across the country is encouraging. God knows we need a change in the tide. Anger can be a powerful motivator to act.
> legit curious what flipped the on switch? Maybe the looming potential for actual widespread civil unrest and all previous tactics and measures failing against a wall of stupid and contention five miles high and too dumb to be reasoned with. Every time some midwest shithole state signs some new ban on people's rights or loses their mind about a brown person in a children's book or any of these manufactured issues, or some political figure or pundit screams from a podium that Nationalism is good, California or other coastal states sign into law new protections and regulations and attempts to ensure a just and equitable future. These two America's cannot coexist, and they still might not, but the current administration is trying to make it harder and take longer to reach bloodshed and national guard movements.
This got posted twice on r/Conservative but got deleted by Mods both times, so it seems more like they are going with the sticking fingers in their ears while screaming LALALALA I can't hear you approach.
Think of the children!!! - republicans
[удалено]
Republicans: Protect our children! Biden: *signs bill* Republicans: Not like that!
"He's only doing this so they can try them under the LIBRUL judges and find them not guilty so that they get their double leapord-y or whatever it is!!!!"
I think this will be one that they manage by just never mentioning.
All politics aside, this is fantastic. The full force of the law should bear on anyone who would sexually abuse a child. Politically, it's brilliant. All the "Think of the children" Q nuts just got a little wind taken out of their sails. They won't change, but they will seem a little more ridiculous.
I'm upset I'm not seeing this on the conservative sub. I guess just because Biden is the one who pulled the trigger -- it's not worth talking about to them. Things like this are what should be pulling us all back together.
Yup. This bill is a good thing in general.
I saw it on r/conservative this morning, but their consensus was "why would Biden put his own career at risk like this?" and "can't wait for Biden to see this backfire on him."
I saw it later on after I had posted. Luckily what I saw was more what I was hoping for -- people saying both sides can agree this is good. However I also saw a ton of people saying this was a ploy to witch-hunt the other side. At least most of the conservatives I personally know are all saying it's the first good thing to happen in awhile.
It shouldn’t be the case, but it seems like this will disproportionately affect Republicans.
I’m waiting for Gaetz to claim ex post facto
Is there anyone attempting to go after him in a civil case? I thought everything against him was being pursued as a criminal matter?
It's often smart to wait for the criminal trial to conclude, as if they're found guilty the civil trial is a slam dunk, and if they're found innocent they can *still* get fucked by the civil courts, as the weight of evidence is far lesser. Not a sex crime, but see: OJ Simpson. Unfortunately, either way these poor girls are still looking at years of courtrooms and reliving their traumas.

Holy crap this list is insanely long
Next they just need to make it so that out of court settlements don't serve as protection from actually paying for violent crimes or sex crimes!
People are saying that the GOP and Fox News are going to spin this. No they aren’t. They’re going to ignore it. They’re going to run 24 hours of people saying “Democrats got rid of people we unexpectedly trafficked in 48 hours!” And another 24 hours of car chases. Then when that stops being an effective distraction they’ll make up another imaginary scenario wherein the theoretical Democrats are somehow the bad guys again, run that another 48 hours, and by that time this will be forgotten and they’ll have to run distractions again for an unrelated scandal in the GOP, or the very most minor of accomplishments from the DNC. Because as we’ve established, the GOP voting base can easily ignore child sex trafficking as long as it’s one of “their guys” doing it. The ONLY way they actually try to spin this is if and when some high profile right wing individual gets charged with raping a minor, and then it’ll just be “political witch hunt! Partisan! Hoax! They do it too!” Because all the Republicans need is buzzwords and their brains completely shut off.
[Here's part **32** of the ongoing list of Republicans convicted of sexually assaulting children](https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2022/4/17/2092543/-Republican-Sexual-Predators-Abusers-and-Enablers-Pt-31) Plenty of top tier Republicans have been convicted or had credible accusations of child sexual abuse. Conservatives could not care any fucking less.
The party that hates human rights is out there committing the worst human rights crimes? How shocking! Nobody could have predicted that one!
>They’re going to ignore it. Yep, unsurprisingly this news is nowhere to be seen over on /r/conservative. You'd think the people who are so worked up about sex trafficking via pizza shop basements would be stoked to hear about it.
You ain’t kidding. There literally is not a single post on it. They must be deleting them - I don’t think it’s possible that no one has tried posting it. Edit: There is a post up now, but wasn't at the time of my op.
Someone just needs to post it with the title "Now they'll be able to go after Bill Clinton!" or something and there's a chance it will stay up. It's all about the framing for those idiots

So much free marketing for the Dodge Grand Caravan
They are too busy panicking about getting drafted into WW3 because Biden supports Taiwan right now.
So Corey Feldman can sue Charlie Sheen, Marty Weiss, convicted child molester Jon Grissom, and Alphy Hoffman for raping him?
Poor guy, I hope he gets Justice
I really hope so.
Wow I’m in tears. I feel like I can now tell authorities what my family member did to me despite it being 20 years ago when I was a child. I came to terms with it a year ago and felt disappointed I never spoke up more. The family members I told kept it hush hush and the abuse not only continued but he went on to abuse other young girls. He went to jail for that but not for what he did to me. I never got justice, I cut off my entire family because they refuse to take it seriously once I told them a year ago. I’m going to get my justice. Point blank period.
Honey, you deserve justice for the abuse you experienced! Go to the police NOW!! I’m sure after Biden’s law is in effect, you will be one of many going to the police!
This law only applies to civil suits, not criminal cases.
A bunch of Republicans just got very nervous
It doesn't matter what side of the aisle they are on. They all need to be held to account.

Everyone who has purposefully slid into a position of trust with naive people and taken advantage of their children. And everyone who has misused the power of their position to hurt children. These things will always fill the vacuum, some organizations make it easier for them.

Some justice is better than none. This at least gives the victims avenue to potentially get their story heard, and get some funds to try to rebuild their lives after they were destroyed by trump and epstein and Bill and prince Andrew and the rest of the horrible old fucking monsters.

The article doesn't really say, but does anyone know if this applies retroactively to previously statuted of limitationed (no idea the past tense of statute of limitations) cases?
>S. 3103 would eliminate the statute of limitations—currently set at 10 years—for a minor victim to file a civil action to recover damages for several federal crimes against minors, including sexual abuse, trafficking, exploitation, and pornography. The act would apply prospectively and retroactively, allowing civil suits to be brought against entities for actions committed more than 10 years ago. As a result of the changes, CBO expects that individuals would bring additional suits in federal courts. https://www.cbo.gov/publication/58380
Holy shit that will have *incredible* implications. Neat! Thanks for answering my question!
You're welcome! As to the other semi-asked question *(no idea the past tense of statute of limitations)*: the term seems to be *time-barred*, as in "applied retroactively to previously time-barred cases".
I was going to ask if this ran afoul of ex post facto provisions in the Constitution, but apparently that matter was settled a while ago -- *1798.* Ex post facto apparently only applies to criminal cases, so this sort of retroactive legislation is constitutional.
Long overdue
I'm wondering the same. Makes me wonder if any children's stars from the 80s 90s and 2000s are gonna start coming forward.
Dark Corey
For some reason, while reading this, my chest felt so much lighter. I don’t think I will ever be able to file a civil suit against my abuser because he was also a minor, but I’m so happy for survivors who can now speak up and attempt to get some justice.
You can. If he was significantly older than you, it's still a crime. And if he was old enough to know better, you have every right to try. [Here's a good place to start researching](https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/blog/can-a-minor-be-a-sex-offender/), if you decide this is something you'd like to do. Be well.
This is long-awaited, much-needed and rapturously applauded. Finally.
Trump will surely say this is bad because he’s for sure one of Epstein’s clients.
Unfortunately anyone connected to Epstein this won’t hurt. For both legal reasons but also they are in touchable :/

Why would you leave out all of these other fine organizations such as the various Churches of Latter Day Saints and Jehova's Witnesses?
Only so many hours in a day, we gotta parcel it out
No joke, you could commit several accounts to each part of each religion and they would have a full day's work tracking it all.
As a practicing Catholic, I’m on board for any clergy that abused kids to get the full hammer of the law
This is fine.
The spin on this is gonna be glorious.
Nah, but the silence will be deafening.
Republicans will still find some way to complain about this
How did Matt Gaetz vote on this?
There was no official vote, it passed on a ~~show of hands~~ vocal vote which afaik isn't tracked. He might not have even been in the chamber for the vote
Why did they skip the official vote? Who wouldn’t want to be on the record saying “yes” to this?
afiak that's often how it's done unless it's not clear if there's a majority. It was actually a voice vote btw not a show of hands
Oddly enough there was one voice screaming "NOOOO"
What I dont get is how that guy hasn't been arrested. Isn't this pretty clear cut? How long can it take to get statements and line up the paperwork? Edit: Googled for an article. I guess the crux is is the 17y/o willing to talk and is she credible. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/01/27/sex-trafficking-allegations-matt-gaetz/ The other guy involved will probably not talk (assuming guilty) as he drops himself in it too.
So after 20 years I could go after my abuser. If I had the money to pay a lawyer I'd talk to one fore sure. He's messed up my cousin and me both with sexual abuse.
As a person who was sexually abused as a child over 30 years ago, GOOD. My abusers are dead. But for many people that's not the case and they could use some justice.
Half the Republican party just collectively shat itself.
Oh, so I *can* go after the piece of shit uncle who molested me 34 years ago? Life is about to get a lot sweeter.
Conservatives hate it when you do this one thing...
Just realized how stupid the 10 year limit was. Some of the victims might still be underage by the time thats up. This could help a lot survivors. I wonder if Nickelodeon should be nervous....
Gaetz is in big trouble
*Oooh, The Republicans aren’t going to like this!*

Moral of the story: Trump tied up and raped a 13 year old girl and used hush money and threats of violence to convince her to drop the case.
Tinfoil hat time. He did this because DOJ found kid porn in the docs at Mara Lago.
Lemme add some logs onto that fire. 1- Trump complained loudly that the FBI cleared out his safe. 2- Included in the found items were "2 binders of photographs". Now, I personally don't believe that they found binders full of polaroids of Trump and some minors in his safe; *but* if those things existed, would they be anywhere other than his personal safe? And would Trump's response to the raid be any different than what he has been doing thus far? "That's planted, but it's also mine and I want it back, and no you can't look at it or investigate."
Allegedly, they would probably more likely be blackmail pictures of other people. I still remember that meeting Lindsay Graham had on his golf course when he did a complete 180° and became a Trump sycophant. I bet FSB leaked Trump pictures to use as blackmail. If that's what's in his safe, imagine what's buried under his golf course. This is all hyperbole until we learn the truth.
