Witch hunts are not for me

You probably won't like what I'm going to say. If I were famous this would likely get me canceled. But I have nothing to lose, so...

I think the whole Epstein thing is just the newest witch hunt. I'm just not interested in it.

I've been around long enough to have seen this bad movie rebooted so many times I've lost count. "Satanic panic", McMartin Preschool, "recovered memories", backward masking... I could go on and on. It seems most people crave a witch hunt and people are always looking for a new one.

Do I think some of the famous people dragged into this are guilty scumbags? Of course-- Bill Clinton is on "the list". Is he a pedophile? Probably not. He seems interested only in females who are sexually developed. But he's a scumbag for sure; he was president! Oh, and there have been credible allegations about his sexual crimes for decades. Probably a lot of them are true-- the people I knew who also knew him personally (back before he was even running for president) told me lots of things about him way back then.

But, there is no way that I believe everyone on "the list" is like Bill Clinton. Some are probably even fairly decent people who just hung out with the wrong person once or twice. How motivated would Epstein have been to have someone be seen (and photographed) "with" him so that he would then have blackmail material on them? You tell me.

I will not celebrate this witch hunt. I will not participate or promote it. I will ignore it as much as possible. I will not be joining in the blood dance. I hate it.

I know this puts me at odds with a lot of libertarians, but I don't care. I'm not a fan of the hatefest and don't intend to act just like the statist punishment-junkies. Leave me out of it.

I'm kinda with you on this one. Rich people hang out with other rich people. Just because someone hung out with Epstein doesn't mean they were "in on it." I'm not trying to defend Bill because I am sure he is corrupt as they come just like virtually all politicians are but to refer this to my own life... one of the people i knew in high school ended up trying to rob a bank and during it shot and nearly killed a guy. Am I now guilty by association? Do I plan to rob banks just because I knew the guy and hung out with him.

I think the most damming thing here is that Bill's people said he never went to the island and now we see that he did. You may recall that this isn't exactly the first time that Bill has been caught lying though :)

Yeah, a friend of mine in high school was arrested for murder-- even though I don't believe he actually did it, I would hate to be assumed to be guilty just because he was my friend.

Bill Clinton is definitely a nasty character. But nowhere near as nasty as his wife. Even my friends who knew them and called them friends said they didn't trust Hillary at all.
