WHAT EXACTLY IS THE HOAX, PEDOMAN? That the girls weren’t trafficked and abused by Epstein & Jizzy? That you weren’t close friends with Epstein? That your name isn’t ALL OVER the Epstein files? That you didn’t make a corrupt hush money deal with Jizzy? Tell us you clown-faced cocksucker! #Epstein

A man that calls a hoax on the Epstein victims speaking up definitely has no moral compass. Of course most of us already knew that.

The total failure to respond in any meaningful way to the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting (2012) was the moment the bottom fell out of our society. There have been other turning points, but to me, that episode exposed the *irredeemable* emptiness of our collective commitments to one another.
