How is pointing out the fact that members of both political parties were named as acquaintances of a known pedophile "trying to feel like a victim"? Seeing the Trump comments under every single Epstein post is super hilarious and everything, but I don't see very many posts about Hillary or Bill. Just trying to make sure they're all accounted for, not just the guys we already don't like.

False equivalence. Trump is running for President again, which makes mentioning him relevant in a way that mentioning others is not.

Gimme a break, Hillary just came out publicly as a "key player" in the Biden campaign. Mentioning Dems affiliation with pedophiles is absolutely relevant.

No. You pointed out Bill and so someone responded to kill them all. And you had issue with that. Why? You tried to make it all about Trump to play the victim. Otherwise why would you have a problem will killing bill too.

You're mixing up my comments and other people's comments lol I never responded in any way to the person saying "guiottine them all". Get your facts straight before you get all bent out of shape next time, bud.

Edit: just because the comment is below another doesn't mean it's a response, you have to follow the drop down lines fyi
