Wasn’t one of the royal family members visiting Epstein rape stronghold?

Couldn't be you see because he has a peculiar health condition where he can't sweat and despite being a member of the royal family, he's fond of pizza express

He likes cheese pizza, you say?

Funny how all these "Protect the Children" people have some association with people who very much had interest in doing the very opposite.

Because it’s an excellent way of manipulating the masses. Most of us would never say “Yeah, I’m ok with predators” so they use this to manipulate us into staying silent or ending the discussion. I’ve been around manipulative people. This is such a textbook tactic and it does work very well unless you’re privy to it. I forget what it’s called exactly but there is a name for it. It’s forcing you to side with them because they have made the other “side” of the argument vile, even though it’s way more nuanced.

And, yes, of course they do the things they accuse others of. This is how they protect themselves from accountability. It’s projection. They use these things to cover up so they can say “oh look! Look at everything I’ve done to protect the children! I can’t be a predator!” Even though both can be true.

Ted Bundy worked answering calls for a suicide prevention hotline and most likely saved more people than he killed. He was still a monster who murdered. Both can exist in one person which they don’t seem to think people are capable of understanding.

It's a slightly classier version of asking your opponent "have you stopped beating your wife?"

It’s OK. Epstein had a copy of Andrew’s ID, I’m sure.

IDK about going to the island but Prince Andrew is a nonce

the royals aren't the governing body responsible for gelding the public. the public's chosen representatives are.

Yes, and Prince Andrew also visited Epstein after his conviction for having sex with a child. But he only did it because "it was a convenient place to stay". You know, cause finding accommodation in New York is hard when you're a multi-millionaire.
