1990s was at a party just him and jeffrey epstein and about a dozen women, some of whom i m sure were underaged is really problematic. i don t think there is any room that is going to be made between him, between epstein and the president of the united states just because the secretary of labor resigns. and more than that, this comes a couple of weeks after the bombshell report on the president. so it s one sex scandal after another. i don t think this goes anywhere any time soon. i have to disagree with you, not because i want to defend trump s mafr in any way, shape or form, but we know in 2016, the entire country heard the access hollywood tape, and he got elected president a month after or four weeks after. so the idea that more sex scandals are going to level him unless there is some credible case to be made that we don t know of that he participated in
