        Snopes provides some good information about why the claim is suspicious, but there are also stories by Vox & MSM that go into more detail. Having proof Trump is a pedo obviously helps Democrats, but spreading misinformation because you want to believe it doesn’t. Based on everything I’ve read I think it is a fake claim, but then again I still think Trump is terrible & would never vote for him.

          Isn’t trump a pedo for sure though? He’s been to Epstein island how many times?

          It doesn’t help dems. maga doesn’t give a fuck. He could kill someone while raping a kid in broad daylight on camera and they’d still support him. The only this it might do is help put him in jail AND EVEN THAT is spurious. Which is fucking insane.

          Honestly don’t care for it as ammunition against him I was always just angry about the idea of it as a whole. If he did and if he didn’t couldn’t change my opinion of his character as a whole. But he was always chummy with Epstein, is listed as doe whatever # and every single person who took that plane is complacent in something deep enough for jail time.

      Unsubstantiated by Snopes is not the same as false.

          Yes, unsubstantiated means “no evidence.”

          As the saying goes, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

            “…so really, who’s to say they’re not eating cats? After all, absence of evidence is not…”
