"Hot take: if you’re defending someone’s pedophilia by saying, “it wasn’t pedophilia, it was ehebophilia,” or, “these girls weren’t that young,” you are defending a pedophile. I don’t care about the pedantics of it, you’re still scum."

The lesson is to not debate the finer points of criminal law, or to insinuate that one crime is morally superior to another.
The lesson is adult men have no business dating or fucking children in high school, middle school, or grade school.

The MAGAts are pushing that , since Trump isn't a pedo, raping 15 year olds is A-Okay with them. LOLWhat did I say yesterday?

LEGALLY SPEAKING
Alan Dershowitz is splitting hairs over the technical definition of “pedophilia.”

Agreed. It's just more proof that MAGAts aren't Christians and are immoral.
Damo. Whether the kid is 5 or 15 they're still a kid. Kelly was trying to lessen the severity of what trump and Epstein were into by claiming what they did wasn't pedophilia.
It's not her failure to define the crime correctly - it's that she's trying to obscure the situation so that people will go, "huh. perhaps what trump did wasn't that bad".
She's an idiot and a propagandist. Fuck her.

While I agree with her obscuring the severity of Trump's crimes, I doubt she's an idiot. She's in it for the "likes" which translates into "$$$". Her propaganda is geared toward being controversial to attract viewers.
Oh, yeah. Like all the fuck-toads on Fox, she's riding the wave of trump hate and division. She's a low, disgusting human, that's for sure.
But I would still do her in front of her husband.
I don't think Damo is trying to excuse anyone. He's just pointing out semantics. The vast majority of us agree that those ppl who are sexually active with early- to mid-teenaged kids are depraved and in most civilized countries, also criminals.
Nobody but you and the other MAGAt Infested brains care how much you dislike someone, it bears no validity in a conversation about what words mean what things nor does the emotive value which you put on someone change their actual value in reality.
You can be emotive all you want, it's a free country, you just won't catch me "cancelling" anyone for accurately stating something. And you will always find me on the side of "words mean things".
Especially so if they are used by someone who is supposed to be a journalist.

Agreed. It's a distraction geared to minimize Trump's involvement with child rape and sex trafficking.
Trump is the "dog who didn't bark".

“The Dog that Didn’t Bark:” What We Can Learn from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle About Using the Absence of Expected Facts.

The 1892 book, the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is a collection of short stories. One of the stories is “Silver Blaze,”a mystery about the disappearance of a famous racehorse the night before a race and the murder of the horse’s trainer. Sherlock Homes solves the mystery in part by recognizing that no one he spoke to in his investigation remarked that they had heard barking from the watchdog during the night.The fact that the dog did not bark when you would expect it to do so while a horse was stolen led Homes to the conclusion that the evildoer was a not a stranger to the dog, but someone the dog recognized and thus would not cause him to bark. Holmes drew a conclusion from a fact (barking) that did not occur, which can be referred to as a “negative fact,” or for the purpose of this discussion, an expected fact absent from the record.
Notice how prior to these Epstein revelations, I never saw any MAGA morons try to thread the needle and finesse the legal distinctions about Jeffrey Epstein being a pedophile.
It's only when their bloated Messiah looked to be at risk that they started drawing these lines between crimes that are really bad, and crimes that are really not so bad.

It's proof of their dishonesty, hypocrisy and disregard for the law to protect their White Nationalist leader.
I'm glad my conscience prevents me from insinuating adult men fucking 17 year olds really isn't that bad when you consider they might have fucked 13 year olds.
It's you who'r being "emotive" my friend. Look at the shit fit you just threw - complete with ad hom's and strawmen!
I'm not suggesting anyone be "canceled". I'm fine with demons like Kelly and Watters and Hannity and other traitorous propagandists who have their heads up trump's fat ass hanging themselves with their own lies. Fox recently paid almost a billion for doing just that.
Also, if you're referring to Kelly as a "journalist" please use the proper, "past" tense.
Yep, they certainly circle the wagons when they should really get the fuck out of the way.
As I said, your opinion of someone bears little resemblance to reality, and has as much effect on reality as it reflects.
The reality is, words do mean things, the choice in words tells me about the people who make the statements. Do they care about accuracy? In this case, no. They care about the emotive quality. We see you.
Point out some past post where you objected to a father showering with his daughter, who called it inappropriate.... If you can do that, you will convince me that you are just always this way... especially so if you used the same language. Otherwise, you are as I stated.
If that same father trafficked his daughter across state lines and whored her out to other men I'd have a real problem with it. If some hack journalist, then referred to the trafficking as, "no, he was just giving her a ride" - then I'd have a problem with that as well.
Your problem is a lack of a sense justice and judgment.
Sounds like you like to quibble if it is someone you think wears the same political jersey as yourself. So, you simply give me evidence that you are of the "otherwise" in my statement above. I'm good with that, but the moral value of your accusations is pretty much null.
Oh! That's funny! I was going to say the same thing about yourself - I don't think your judgement is really that bad. It's just clouded by your hatred of anything Democrat.
Well, I consider my sense of right and wrong to be superior most. Definitely to your own.
