Speaking of which, it's always worthwhile looking at the overlapping elements in the Venn Diagram of human trafficking in the US and Trump's vocational interests:
- "Modeling work", "Teenage Beauty pageants", and "Party Hostess Work"
- Transportation & housing infrastructure for teenage girls
- Rampant immigration fraud for said teenage girls
- Russian oligarch financial complex funding modeling agency & real estate (laundering)
- Casino Management
- Known Video surveillance & Alleged Kompromat
- Off-the-books private flights
- Consistent stories by alleged victims ("sex interview" templates, Trump's phobias like the need for white gloves, cosplay, etc.)
- Suggestive public quotes/acts (walking in on pageant dressing room, "teeth inspections", quote about Epstein enjoying his life)

well to be fair, I'm pretty sure Epstein did enjoy his life, up until a certain point at least.

Billionaire Peter Thiel's MAGA dating app "the right stuff" created by ex Trump admin officials has launched on Sept 30th.
(

Quote:
A new advertisement for conservative dating app The Right Stuff features women saying that being a Democrat is a red flag in a potential partner.
...
In the video, one woman said she likes a man with an "alpha male vibe" and whose faith is important to him. Another said her partner has to want kids.
In the video, the women were quizzed as to why they want to date conservatives, to which one woman said, "I like that they understand their role in the relationship as a man."
...
The Right Stuff received $1.5 million in funding from billionaire Peter Thiel. Founded by Trump administration staffers John McEntee, Daniel Huff, and Isaac Stalzer, the app touts itself on its website as a way to "connect with people who aren't offended by everything." The app also advertises itself as being the platform "for those who know traditional is attractive."
In a Newsweek op-ed published on September 6, McEntee wrote that he created the app because of the "horrible experiences" he and his cofounders had on other dating apps.
"For example, in southern California, when I filtered my settings to include conservative women from the ages of 21-29 and only a handful of users appeared," McEntee wrote.
... While there are no hard numbers out, the social media buzz is that there are no women on the app, it's a total sausage fest and the dudes are not happy.
However this makes total sense. Regular dating apps already skew heavily male, and 60% of male account users get something like 4% of clicks. So ... women who are already on dating apps are NOT the under-served market here. Those 60% of male users who get basically zero matches are the core demographic who is going to try out new services.

“January 6th was...” reads one prompt. Another says, “My favorite liberal lie is...” Twitter user @SAFandthecity jokingly replied “the female orgasm.”
So you have to do a full MAGA questionnaire here before you can make your account.

Ah, yes, the same problem
every online dating platform has, except more so. And openly hostile to the obvious solution (catering to gay men).

The Daily Show region blocked here sadly.
EDIT: 1 TOR browser later, and rolled a few 'identities' and managed to watch the video.

Quote:
The Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota repeated last week a bizarre hoax claim which has been debunked that children are being told they can identify as anthropomorphic cats and are being allowed to use litter boxes to urinate in schools.
Scott Jensen, the Republican candidate and a former state lawmaker, made the comments while speaking to supporters, according to a video of the event posted on Facebook.
“But what about education?” Jensen said. “What are we doing to our kids? Why are we telling elementary kids that they get to choose their gender this week? Why do we have litter boxes in some of the school districts so kids can pee in them, because they identify as a furry?
We've lost our minds. We've lost our minds.” (

Quote:
University of Colorado Regent and Colorado gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl is the latest Republican to repeat outrageous and thoroughly debunked claims about furries in public schools.
“Not many people know that we have furries in Colorado schools,” said Ganahl during a Saturday appearance on Jimmy Sengenberger's KNUS radio show.
“Have you heard about this story?” Ganahl asked Sengenberger. “Yeah, kids identifying as cats. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, but it's happening all over Colorado and schools are tolerating it. It's insane. What on earth are we doing? Knock it off, schools. Put your foot down. Like, stop it.
Quote:
Recently in Indiana, an elderly woman was led into an Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. Board meeting on a leash, wearing cat ears and a tail to illustrate the grave threat posed by furries. School districts in Iowa and Texas have also had to dispel rumors about furries generated by conservative social media.
Quote:
The bizarre conspiracy has spread so much that it even has its own dedicated Wikipedia page.
Oh, snap, it really does (the page first went up Sept 5th)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litter_boxes_in_schools)
Quote:
In January 2022, Michelle Evans, a Texan Republican running for congress, claimed that cafeteria tables were "being lowered in certain [Round Rock Independent School District] middle and high schools to allow ‘furries' to more easily eat without utensils or their hands". The school district denied the claims.
In February 2022, the Carroll Community School District in Iowa was accused of providing litter boxes for those who identified as cats. The district's superintendent denied this claim, stating "Staff members are not encouraging or accommodating anyone behaving or identifying as a cat or any other animal".
In March 2022, a conservative commentator promoted claims that the Waunakee School District in Wisconsin had a "furry protocol" specifying the rules for furries, including being "allowed to dress in their choice of furry costumes" and "choose not to run in gym class but instead sit at the feet of their teacher and lick their paws".
Apparently i missed that MTG repeated it in September:

Quote:
“There's a school in Texas where a student identified [as] a cat, and they made [the school] put out a litter box. I thought it was from The Onion. Absolutely true”
...
Greene played right into it. “They're embracing lies. I mean literally embracing lies,” she said. “If some student wants to pretend like a cat and use a litter box after school, that's their prerogative.”

I don't know who this Herschel Walker guy is, but he's quite the chip off the old orange block, apparently:

Because of this cite I made my first Wiki edit. I changed the word substantial to substantiate which was the correct word in the context it was used. "Jensen's campaign declined media requests to substantiate the litter box claim,". I feel unjustly proud, as if I have struck a blow for grammar that will resound around the world.
I is impotent.
But yeah, Starker, Hershel Walker is an ex Dallas Cowboy football player who knew he could capitalize on his race to be one of the few Republicans who are black and get support to run for office. It's no surprise he is a hypocrite who knocked up several women who bore his children and some whom he paid to abort while claiming to be pro- life or only cares about himself instead of women who may die from ectopic pregnancies. That's the Republican way.
What the hell are we going to do without Trevor? I know I said that about Stewart but what the hell THIS time?

There was an edit I wanted to make to a semi-protected article, but I needed to have 10 edits under my belt, and I didn't have that. So i went and read articles until I found a few grammar errors I could improve to get my total up to 10 edits, then did the original edit I wanted to do.

Unfortunately that was likely too easy. Nobody proof reads anymore. I have read far too many novels lately where I felt like an English teacher with a red marker.
At any rate, I think you are a hero.
