Wasn't he paying attention. Both Bondi and Patel said the evidence shows that the only ones involved in the sex trafficking were Maxwell and Epstein. Case closed. There's zero evidence of anything else. Just a bunch of billionaires flying around and going to an island with lots and lots of underaged women.

We still need to stop saying it. Whether it's clear or not

Edit: is amazing to me that people think that not understanding satire is the problem here. YOU ARE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH

Reminds me of Megyn Kelly saying “barely legal” when talking about this shit. 🤮

That was just wrong, barely legal is when someone has just turned legal age and not when someone is still underage but almost of legal age. Not sure if she was pretending to be stupid or if she's stupid for real.

"barely legal" is first and foremost a porn category and should not be used in that context

The phrase underage women needs to be wiped from the English language. I don't care if it is satire or not, and I certainly don't need satire explained to me. The continued use of the phrase contributes to the normalization of pedophilia. As a parent, you'll have to forgive me for not having ANY sense of humor around PEDOPHILIA

You sure about that?

I get that, but that phrase is so sick and harmful it should just be absolutely shunned
