On this, I'd trust Trump's raw animal cunning. If he's fighting this, it's because he feels it would hurt him, whether because he slept with underage girls (quite likely, given his personality), or because he cheered on in a way that leave little doubt about his frame of mind.

As to why this would hurt him, I think we underestimate how much steam the topic of a vast network of elite paedophiles operating in impunity has given to the populist right.

Trump is like a hurricane that gathers strength from all these stories.  He's already weathered umpteen things that would end most politicians careers, adding a handful more makes no difference now.

That's my point.  He's built a brand on not giving a shit.  Why is he so bent up about one more public urination charge?

There are things about the Trump/Epstein story that don't make sense to me.  It's very plausible that Trump attended one or more Epstein gatherings and fucked one or more Epstein girls.  So what?  The whole world already knows that he fucked Stormy Daniels.  Unless he banged the one underage girl.

I hope eventually people take a lesson from this era that politicians have to be held accountable early or risk sliding down this slope again.

There's a dude in the 47th that I've been in contact since 2022. He uses Mavic grenade drops (old school) instead of FPV. He's easily at over 1000 casualties.

Nice!

I just hope they get hired by Western militaries after the war instead of the criminal underworld...

The answer is in the word you used. There were girls there.

We had another volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula a few days back. Every eruption has longer and longer intervals so this might really be the final one around Grindavík.



I removed a wasp nest the size of a basketball under a rowan tree in my garden. My youngest son (11) spotted it with his friends and tried to knock it down with a stick but got stung for his troubles.

The Farrelly Brothers released a stoner comedy called Outside Providence years ago.  When it was playing I was in a ticket line on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in back of a well-healed matronly socialite type.  She asked for two tickets to "Outside Provence".

Answer to your first question: I don't know, data is insufficient.

What additional data do you have about Raz that leads to a different conclusion?
