Several social media users, including commentators and reporters, on Wednesday claimed that Democrats are allegedly sitting on a 'bombshell' video showing former President Donald Trump 'groping a minor' at a donor event. No official or Republican campaign member has reacted to the claims yet. There is no evidence to prove whether Trump 'groped a minor' and the said video has not been posted., US News News - Times Now

No video released yet but the right wing blog-sphere is already claiming it’s AI. Put on your seat-belts and keep your hands inside the car at all times.

        kiddie diddling is kiddie diddling.

        Absolutely 100%. Taking advantage of a minor is wrong no matter what.

        However, the word you used describes an attraction, not actual rape. And in that case there is a big difference because being attracted to mid to late teens, which is a perfect normal and healthy sexual attraction, and pedophilia, which is a disorder. This is the same science that confirms homosexuality and trans identity are perfectly normal, and rejecting this science is no different than rejecting that people can be gay and trans.

        I know I’ll be piled on because of the pedophile panic that has gripped so many people, but I don’t care because I think it’s important for people to understand this. After watching the suffering of gay and trans people, first hand, being treated like deviants or that there is something wrong with them I can’t stand by while people treat other normal and healthy people as if they are fucked up. It’s not right.

          People keep saying diddling is diddling, but then they still seem to get progressively more outraged as the age of the victim goes down. I think it’s normal to get more horrified the younger and more “innocent” the victim is. It doesn’t mean that raping a teenager is no big deal if you think raping an infant is an extra level of depraved.

          Pssst… It’s not Reddit, it’s the people. The Reddit bullshit was what came from the admins. Everything else, the users and the mods, were just people being themselves.

      No no no no. The last one isn’t true.

      The rich can do whatever they please, that’s their right for being rich (/s).
