    tbf, as long as the affair was consentual and with an adult, i don’t really care anymore.

    R refuse to go after history’s most notorious pedofilies but will cry about an affair?

            ok man,

            I’m not going to die on this hill, just pointing the hypocrisy if crying foul at someone’s afair, while protecting Trump. who had so many affairs, and rape accusations and Esptein closest friend.

              Nah dude, he harassed her into it until she said yes. Consensual affairs don’t involve official harassment complaints.

              Edit: And don’t look for anything but hypocrisy from people who protect Trump, it’s a waste of time

                good thing my original comment was conditional. that is definitely not consentual, let him fall, and hopefully jail.

                no need to look for their hypocrisy, they openly yell that.

              I’m just saying that this is the kind of situation where one shouldn’t take it for granted that it’s consensual. I’m not throwing shade, just pointing that out as an important thing to consider.

      consentual

      Media is sanewashing this. Self-immolation is involved.

      (edit: Not blaming commenter/OP. The media is reporting this as an afair which are typically consentual)

        I was just pointing Republican hypocrisy. made the original coment conditional, because I don’t have the time and energy to deep dive on this, I hope he falls and faces real consequences.

          Tbh I do agree that affairs happen, everyone clutches their pearls, and its usually a coin-flip if someone resigns. This is definitely not that.

            after hearing more about the case, I’m now also angry at the press for calling it an affair instead of rape or sexual assault
